Some guy:
There are all kinds of things, like the Westboro Baptist Church making a scene at veteran's funerals, that are distasteful, but not illegal.
Being a strong supporter of freedom of speech, you undoubtedly support the Westboro Baptist Church folks the same as you support the Confederate Flag/nazi folks.
Me:
I don't have to support anyone to not stomp my foot and cry like a 3 year old.
a logical human being:
actually westboro could be illegal, if they trespass, or violate their permit, which they do at times
the person who filed the complaint in this case is just an idiot, walk away if its legal, police have better things to do
Someone else:
Quote:
...cry like a 3 year old.
...or Holocaust survivor.
Me, again:
He claims his grandmother was.
He, himself, was not.
My grandfather fought in WW2. I don't hate Germans.
Someone I do not agree with at all:
who was talking about hating germans?
Me, again:
I did. I used it to make a connection.
This cry baby has two generations insulating him from these atrocities, as do I.
If you wanted to make another connection you could even tie it to slavery. Why must reparations be made now for atrocities committed a hundred years ago?
Or are you asking why I picked Germans? Because they were the enemy during WW2.
This is the same someone else from above:
How do you get insulated from Holocaust atrocities ? It's been two generations so it's just no big deal anymore ?
Anyway...
"Unless something violates state or federal law, there’s no jurisdiction for government to do anything. "
Really not sure what your gripe is.
Me, trying to just end it:
My whole gripe is that this guy is a big baby.
I miss the days when men were men.
The guy I do not agree with:
your grandfather was fighting nazis, not germans. that "cry baby" wasn't hating on germans, it was about nazi memorabilia. that "cry baby" is much closer to the events of ww2 than you are, you should realize that it's not just a number of generations that matters... never mind, you'll never be able to comprehend that.
Someone intelligent:
Actually, most likely people's grandfathers were fighting Germans, not Nazis. i hate revisionist history. Most German forces were not nazi-heavy. Through the ranks and many officers were not Nazis. The German Wehrmacht did what they said they would do, as they always have and they kept the promises they made, even if those promises were to the wrong people. To say we fought the Nazis is to miss the lesson; an entire people followed the Nazis to ruin because of promises they made to build a better society where everybody got. National SOCIALISM.... Hmmm. Socialism. Nazism. Social isms....
Yep, those are bad, aren't they?
There is nothing wrong with collecting war memorabilia. These were trophies taken by victorious allied troops. And people do have genuine historical interest. Once again because some misguided people use a swastika doesn't make a memorabilia collector bad.
Oh, and why Am I sensitive? My grandfather was a German Officer, and my Grandmother was Jewish.
Someone else I regard highly:
You know the real irony here? All the hoop-la surrounding war memorabilia and I'll be willing to bet dollars to doughnuts nobody would bat an eye if the same vendor had Japanese artifacts on the table....
For whatever reason, our revisionist historians want to push the notion that All Germans were Nazis and they were responsible for unspeakable atrocities. Yet those same revisionists completely ignore what the Japanese did to the Chinese, Burmese, Koreans, Manchurians and any of the other conquered people in the South Pacific. Does the Rape of Nanking ring a bell with anybody? I guess not.
https://www.hawaii.edu/powerkills/SOD.CHAP3.HTMThe uninformed among us automatically associate the Confederate Battle Flag and the Flag of the Nazi party with hate. But show them a flag with the Rising Sun on it and they are completely clueless about what happened under that banner of hate....
logical human being again:
lets not forget what WE did to people in the us who looked asian during ww2
regard highly guy again:
Ah, yes. The internment camps for anyone who might sympathize with the Japanese homeland.... All done under the racist, hateful banner of the United States flag... We should ban it....
Repeat guy:
How many places in the United States has the Rising Sun been hoisted in honor on State property ?
And your going to equate the rape of Nanking with an internment camp ? Get real.
Guy I never agree with:
demagoguery at its finest
Highly regarded guy:
From the invasion of China in 1937 to the end of World War II, the Japanese military regime murdered in excess of 10,000,000 people, most of which were more than 6,000,000 Chinese but include also Indonesians, Koreans, Filipinos, and Indochinese, among others, including Western prisoners of war.
By contrast, the Nazis killed an estimated 16,000,000 people of which about 6 million were Jews.
So, yes. We ARE comparing the Nazi atrocities to the Japanese atrocities. We ARE comparing the Nazi genocide to the Japanese genocide. Yet revisionists such as yourself turn a deliberate blind eye to what happened in the Far East.
New guy to the thread:
"WE" did no such thing. The Japanese were interred by executive order. A democrat president with a pen and a phone.
