For example most of the developed world considers the idea of capital punishment abhorrent and barbaric whilst the USA considers it to be in (...)

(...) Ideas don't have nationalities. They either have merit or not. Yours didn't for the reasons I gave. You obviously thought it did. So the arguments are laid out. As if it weren't ever safe to ignore my blathering. JOHN (21 years ago, 23-Dec-05, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

(...) Controversy? You're the only one making a fuss here, John. (...) Very prissy. Maybe even prudish. How about patronising? But hey, it's your life. Yes, lego is a child's toy. But, I am not a child, and neither are you, which makes it also an (...) (21 years ago, 23-Dec-05, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

(...) So you mean to say Germans can't take a joke, and need defending. Alright then, good enough for me. (...) So what does that mean? That Germans are made more uncomfortable by it than Jews? (...)

Hi, I recently acquired this: (URL) not sure the bricks pictured really belong to the box. The box is without date, but judging by the design it could be late 50ties or early 60ties. It's Danish, inscibed with "Bengros" and "Dessin Nr. 5450" and (...) (21 years ago, 23-Dec-05, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) No, you don't understand me correctly. (...) Which part? And what is "a bit racist" as opposed to simply "racist"? Sorry, I just think that that term is getting a little overused these days...

(...) That Cessna is news to me. I don't follow Best-Lock as closely as Mega Bloks, but when I see something cool from BL I may give it a look.

(...) Ha, nice try, but no. Hence the quotes around "see". What I was talking about was our perception of the humor is different than someone who is object of the humor. I think I already stated somewhere that I didn't find it humorous at all, but (...) (21 years ago, 23-Dec-05, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

(...) I think I need to make my original question more explicit. Of all the many reasons to object to a swastika spaceship, I'd like to know why you chose "because it offends Germans". Why didn't you once mention the feelings of Jews? Is it because (...) (21 years ago, 22-Dec-05, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
