Yes, to me its GOOFY to ban a wrist watch and that makes no sense to me...but to say that my brother in Christ, who may not even call ME his brother, may loathe me because I like modern things and Movados, is like those who committed these crimes against humanity is shameful AT BEST....
Thank you, Monkeyman. I know that I missed the action going on that precipitated this thread, so I'm in a different frame of mind on it.

When someone, IMO, is equating circumstances and issues like NLYP did, I think of the government rule, at that point, and not the genocide. But, that's just me. When I think of all of it, my mind goes to where it started and not where it ended.

But I guess since we are prohibited by political correctness from ever comparing anything to Germany during that time, we aren't allowed to use any of the more obscure references either.
Right, so get back to work!!!

I agree... the atrocities were the results of a certain way of thinking... when I refer to NAZI's, I refer to the mindset. Which for some reason seems to be okay when we compare feminists to NAZI's, but then somehow it becomes about the atrocities when you compare ultra-cons to them...

I would agree with you somewhat. There were Nazis who were being patriotic to their Motherland...my main beef is with the Auschwitz comment...get it? How about phonics for ya...AHH SHA WITZ!!!!! Trust me good sir when I say that the monkey is about as far from PC you can get! I have the jokes to prove it.

But Auschwitz does NOT convert over to his points that he was feebly attempting to convey...

Yeah, I agree that Auschwitz is a direct reference to an atrocity... but could have just been a comment someone made without thinking it all the way through.

Hence my comments on his thread...just as I did on NFCF when he used the homosexual slur word...and when I thought I was posting a funny joke not realizing the bad feelings I would stir up from the dead...I left it alone, and learned a lesson.
