It's a fad, it'll pass.

Oh, just like hate towards French people... oh wait (O'riely "Boycott the French" what a moron). When you see wrong you're obliged to fix it. Just because you're too lazy to help, doesn't mean you should tell other people it's a waste of time.
QUOTE
I agree, as long as it doesn't say "JEWS SUCK" or something like that, there's nothing wrong with it.

What does that little swastika mean again (when applied Germans of that time period)? Ah, probably nothing, I think I'll have some Freedom Fries in the Statue of Liberty.
QUOTE
This avatar offends me as a Christian, but I'm not taking it down.

You don't, but you should (because it promotes anit-Christianity, rather than an opinion on Christianity).
QUOTE
So, why would I take down avatars of Hitler?

You don't because you want to defend your right to make fun of French people, is my guess. Maybe deep down you believe that freedom of speech is above all else, even the pursuit of happiness.
QUOTE
According to your logic I could say that KaboomHahahein's Avatar promotes guns, which in turn promotes killing and murdering.

Why is video game violence legal? If you asked me I'd tell you it was to help desensitize people in times of war so they could get the job done (think, red suits to hide the blood [thus preventing 'shell shock']). It seems like it would work. But promoting hate? How does that help anyone?
QUOTE
I thought Hitler was a karate champion but then he came a jew leader or something (im not joking)

In Canada anything that promotes hate is illegal (think, Jehovah's Witnesses, or Keegstra). I believe there is a law similar to that in the U.S.A., which means by putting your avatar as Hitler, or saying Christianity should be abolished, you're breaking the laws of your country. You can think it isn't right, but you can't tell unwilling people it is. There's a difference between finding something offensive, and being threatened, not everything can threaten you (threaten your constitutional rights).

The whole point I'm trying to make is.. what promotes hate?

What you think of promoting hate (AKA: hitler picture) is not seen as hate to somebody else. It is all interpretated (sp?) differently.

I dont see the avatar of a cross with a line through it offensive. I just see it promoting atheism, which does not promote hate at all.

Well you see, in nazism they believe one race is superior to all others, and that those races inferior to theirs should be executed. Simply by waving a Nazi flag you're showing you approve of this belief, and are influencing anyone who sees it, particularly poorly educated people looking for answers to their problems (in this case, "it's all the Jews fault"). This leads to neo nazism, and if you don't live in a box, you know neo nazies have commited crimes based on their belief in nazism alone.

Doesn't matter what someone else and I think, it's what can be done under that law (which is decided by people who are hopefully smarter [more qualified] than you and I).

This doesn't promote atheism... it demotes Christianity. For all you know the person who made that could be very religious. Christianity is not the only religion. If he wanted to promote atheism (which most atheists don't, because there's no point) he'd do something like "Atheism: Think of all the free time you'll have!".

Point is, you're not gaining anything by having a Nazi avatar, so just stop being a prick.

Sorry I even tried =/

If you haven't noticed, it's legal for Nazis to have parades through Jewish neighborhoods shouting pro-nazi statements in America. I don't know where you got that one. The only illegal thing is actually advocating the murder of Jews.

Honestly, it is not promoting hate and it is not that big a deal. I think deathawk put it best.

My bad, I didn't know that. Wouldn't that be disrupting the peace though? Are JW's legal in America too?

ADDITION:
(I'm almost positive they aren't in Canada) I mean going door to door, I know they still exist, so they can't be illegal... You know what I'm an idiot, sorry I wasted your time.

THey have to have a permit, like any parade, but no, it isn't disturbing the peace. Otherwise the Macy's Parade would be "distrubing the peace". I can't think of any religion, cult, or belief banned in America. It's not illegal to belong to the KKK, or to be a Communist (anymore).

I'm going to out and out say it. Pies offend me. I have a terrible fear of lemon merigue pie and it keeps scaring me further from the site. Ban the pie statements.
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Chef on 2005-10-23 at 18:15:17
The pie isn't willfully trying to make you life unpleasent, it's just being, if the pie had feelings you'd be making it's life unpleasent by trying exterminating it (hence the difference I see). I hate your face, doesn't mean I'm allowed (or as I've come to realise, encouraged is a better word) to run a campaign against your face. Why? Because your face is just being, so I'm not really the victim.

I dunno, I guess I'm just ignoring the fact that people can genuinly believe in something that ****s another group, while I genuinly believe that ****ing another group shouldn't happen. Life's funny that way (because in the process I'd be a hypocrite for ****ing (by being strongly voiced of my opinion on them) the group that ****s the other group) =/

I'm pretty sure Freedom of Assembly covers the parade, as long as you don't infringe anybody elses rights you're safe.
It is sort of hard to remove the avatar of somebody like hitler.
Some people have different views.
This site is open to mostly everybody, so everybody is bound to have different opinions.

Okay, I pmed moose, but he hasn't responded (or I could have deleted his msg accidentally), but I'm wondering what you opinions are, specifically the mods and higher ups.

I think it is offensive to Jewish people and to everyone here. Placing the picture of a murderer as a joke just isn't funny.

It doesn't matter what I think, but I'd like to know what the people in CHARGE think we, the mods, should or shouldn't do.
