Harry says sorry for Nazi costume

BBC ^

[Gomez]

Prince Harry has apologised for wearing a swastika armband to a friend's fancy dress party.

[ariamne]

LOL! He sounds just like Khalid Muhammed and Louis Farrakhan. They say the same things about the jews AND the Holocause with one exception: Instead of accusing the jews of being commies, they accuse them of owning all the slave ships.

All nonsense. Commies come in all flavors.

[ariamne]

Frankly, I think it is of no importance what this princeling does or wears.

I am more concerned with our own borders and whose coming in...and why.

[ariamne]

P.S. If you think I'm the only ex-liberal allowed to join FR you need to look around you. Now, in the immortal words of Barbara Bush to jerk Al Franken:

"I'm through with you" (waves her hand).

[Cronos]

the Swastik IS an Aryan cultural symbol -- and hitler co-opted it for the National Socialist Workers Party

[Cronos]

Well, he sure does look like Di's riding instructor -- red hair etc. and not at all like Charles

[Cronos]

good point about the Afrika Korps -- Rommel himself was hardly a pro-Party guy

[Cronos]

You and I could wear a Nazi uniform at a "fancy dress" party, however, you and I don't live a life of luxury courtesy the british tax payer.

[Cronos]

Well, the Royal Family ARE more German than English -- their real surname is Saxe-Coburg-Gotha --> they had changed it to Windsor during WW One. They are the descendents of the Hanoverian Electors -- the first two kings (George I and II) of the dynasty didn't even speak English, the thirds (George III) was crazy and lost America, the fourth and fifth (George IV and William the IVth) were wastrels, the fifth (Vicky) was a recluse. The acme of the dynasty was the present Queen's mother and father

[Cronos]

who were mainly the partial ancestors of the Indians & Persians

Well, actually, the Persians and northern Indians ARE Aryans, not partial Aryans. The Nordics and most other Europeans are Aryanic.

[nopardons]

Harry looks a LOT like Diana's brother.

[Cronos]

His Zulu costume was at the cleaners.

Actually the theme of the party was "natives and colonials".

[Cronos]

You got the Jihad-Nazi connection backwards -- Jihadis were killin' Jews, centuries, nay more than a millenium BEFORE The Nazis, and must have been the group Hittler copied his ideas from

[nopardons]

Nope,Saxe-Coburg-Gotha was Queen Victoria's husband, Prince Albert's last name.

The Georges (and you're quite correct and the first two not speaking English),had anolther last names.

[Splatter]

You have your da's eyes, err... hair, ahh... nose, mmm.... ears, yeah!

[Cronos]

I would agree with CSS -- the Holocaust was reprehensible and horrible and despicable, true. The Armenian genocide was also despicable, as was Mao's Cultural Revolution and Stalin's pogroms and Pol Pot's plans and the Rwanda genocide and the Sudanese genocide. These are despicable because they were not some ancient or random act but well thought out murders (maybe not the Rwanda). Why does the holocaust stick out more? Well, I hate to say this but it's because it happened to Westerners -- the other acts happened to non-Westerners

[SAMS]

can we PLEASE move on from this!!

[Cronos]

And since it happened to folks like us, that's why we remember it more. In the far-east they do not think much about the Holocaust, they know about Mao's murders and Pol Pot's genocide.

[bmwcyle]

You can dress up like Satan at a party who makes Hitler look like a choir boy. I think it was little to do about nothing.

Was trying to stick with pictures that perhaps even Prince Dimbulb's teachers might have seen in their own school books. Books, hey, there's a thought!!!!!!! One thing for sure, the spare heir is shaping up to be the kind of guy who will demand more gold from his subjects when his Vodka runs low.
