My thought exactly. I wonder if a few of them are being shown the door while the entire remaining staff goes through "sensitivity and awareness" training.
NOTE TO SELF: When I get to a position where I can hire a nanny to watch my kids part time, instruct her to call me immediately if my children try to wear "pro-choice and I vote" t-shirts.
"We're generally not out to convert people, as Born Agains are."
As opposed to the tolerant and loving Muslims who hate Hitler because he didn't finish the job?
The swastika over time has meant many things. Unfortunately, that armband is seared in all of our minds today being associated with a very dark time in history.
Yes, Prince Harry, it was in very poor taste.
Yet for all that, I just cannot bring myself to call for an end to Royalty- God knows why- I don't.
I hope that various American denigrators of their American President when overseas, feel deep down, they should keep their mouth shut. I just cannot break free of some inner feeling about the institution.
Still, people are right- to some extent the Royals are on self-destruct.
That's not the way it works here. If it's a different article from a different source, it's allowed to be posted.
Who is "we?" I just don't get where it's your business to skulk around looking for people to admonish over something utterly insignificant, something that affects you in no way, as if you're a grade-school hall monitor. And who are you to decide what's relevant to the other thousands of posters here?

I rarely defend these inbred Royal clowns, but Harry's costume was a goof on the Nazis, not their victims. Why isn't anybody pointing this out. Turning something into a party costume is hardly a sign of respect. Why do you think Blacks get offended when somebody dresses up with Blackface. Do you think the drunken morons who dress up like the Pope for every Halloween bar loop are trying to honor the Catholic Church or say they support it's values?
This is the end of the monarchy..
I am not the only one who finds it annoying, especially since it's relatively easy to avoid duplicate postings (unless they are posted within nanoseconds of each other, which happens once in a while).
And the last time I checked I still have my first ammendment rights to complain about whatever I want to complain about without people like you deciding that I don't.
Maybe you need a grade-school monitor to give you a piece of her mind (or a spanking) since you insist on acting like a grade-schooler yourself with your bratty "you have no right to tell me what to do attitude".
It's the slouch that's most indicative of leadership material.
Well, if he got into Sandhurst, they would take care of that slouch soon enough.
Not too smart.
All that inbreeding can't be very good for the royals.
I think he'd be happier if they did.
See, why did you take what I said in a negative way? I did not imply that it was a bad thing that Born Agains try to convert people, did I? I was just explaining what Jews believe. Why are you so touchy?
see your freepmail
Jeeze, Harry has turned into Eric Cartman!
The guys a 20 year old child of privalege, who most likely wore it simply for the shock value, and never thought much of the large implications since, unlike most other 20 year olds who do stupid things like this (and yes, I know pleanty that do)... he lives in a fishbowl.
Definately in poor taste.. but damn, I think just being 20 requires you act in poor taste far more often than you should for most, particularly certain overprivaleged, folks.
"Jews, as a rule, don't push Judaism onto people. We're generally not out to convert people, as Born Agains are."
Here's your whole quote. In this context 'Born Agains' *push* Christianity on people and the tense of the comment is negative.
Muslims do not push Islam on people - it is a free choice. Of course, if you do not freely choose to convert to Islam they'll cut your head off.
But you're free to choose.
Frankly, Jews should try a little evangelism. With scantly more Jews in the wolrd now then there were in the 1930's the Jews need a population boost. And why not give the 'Born Agains' and the Muslims some competition?
