offended? I imagine Asians might be offended, because it reminds them of how
the symbol was stolen from them.

Tel me John, did you perceive this post
as mocking? Just asking, because it’s a similar situation - lar condemning my
post because he thought I was mocking you. My point is, I don’t see any
point in a third person weighing in on a situation like that - if someone takes
offense at such a remark, surely it is up to them to say so, rather than others
doing it for them? Jojo made his feelings plain about the MOC, and I assume many
people fell similarly about it, but I’d also be surprised if there aren’t ANY
germans that find it funny.

Again with zee Germans. Frankly, if I were to look out for someone’s
feelings, it’d be the someone who doesn’t have grandparents because of
what that symbol represents, rather than someone who’s simply embarrassed by
their grandparents. Do you have any examples of Germans making Nazi jokes?
|
Not in the slightest. And judging from Jo-Jo’s remarks elsewhere, there
doesn’t seem to be many if any at all.
|
Jojo is one german. You and he can go on making sweeping statements about “all
germans” but that doesn’t make them correct. There continue to be stories of
German neo-nazi groups - do they also believe “never again”? It’s just as absurd
to believe no germans would find this MOC funny.
| |
It’s like laughing at someone’s
misery: what kind of jerk finds that funny? Well, a jerk who is a jerk.
|
Making the assumption that Bill Swanberg is feeling pretty miserable right now,
I don’t see anyone berating the people making jokes about him - here or
elsewhere.

Well, it’s not like you’re a stranger to
offending people. And I for
one thought you were pretty funny in that thread.
|
You thought I was being offensive? How?
|
I think Kevin was referring to some of the replies, which seemed to take
offense. But I could be wrong.
