So, according to your view, torture and killing people whose only crime was probably having the wrong religion or political views... right...
Your post is rather insulting and there are people here who are, apparently, more informed than you are and take will get pretty upset at what you wrote.



Cheers...

ok you people here seem to not understand me. I was using sarcasm. you are all to serious here, so i decided to make a joke. and im not trying to insult anyone..if i meant what i said about the gestapo and such, i would be a heartless cold blooded killer. I would ALSO be insulting my own great grandfather who i am very proud to say, was part of the main group whose actions resulted in the liberation of over 2000 captives from Axis hands...

And i thought this was a free forum, but ever since i've posted this all i've got is hate. -.-

I assume I dont need a written apology for sarcasm?

AND im proud to say that i am 16.

Call me naive, young, stupid, an idiot, but NEVER a traitor.

What you did wasn't sarcasm. It wasn't funny. It was flat out stupid and tastless. I highly doubt you're 16 and if you are then you really need to start acting it. Then again 16 year olds these days act like they are 12 so I guess this is the best we'll get from you.

And yeah, this forum is free, to use. But not for you to try and make a "joke" involving something in history that was a very serious event.

Agreed. Only a child or someone ignorant with a child like mentality would make such statements. And if not then they are just an Internet Troll.There are few here that in that age bracket have shown way more maturity. And they earn the respect from others here.

Yep, it's a free forum, but you can't go around advocating genocide and then claiming it all to be a joke when you realize everyone here is appalled by it. You want respect? Do something that deserves it.

And what did he expect when he made those statements? That it would be ok? That we would all have a laugh about it? When you play with the big boys you should be ready to be treated as such. And since this is a FREE site you are FREE to go somewhere else where you statements might be more appreciated. Since this is a FREE site we are then FREE to voice our opinions on your words,statements and conduct.

Okay, which is correct? That you are 16 or your birth year on your profile?

Aren't we wasting too much time over this "kind of people", to use an euphemism? If they want to stomp their Doc Martens they can go do that at www.stormfront.org or something like that, they will be well received there. Here, they should have already learned by now that they don't cut much ice. Believe me, I'm fed up with this.

Instead of enjoying our discussions on proper subjects here we are picking hairs from our soup and massaging these punks' egos giving them the attention they crave for.

But punks and skinheads are not by definition members of the far right although the popular perception of them is such and is re-inforced by the rise of skinhead gangs in the former USSR.

I was just joking with ya Za....

You know I have my Jackboots for goosestepping.

Just to please Za... I will bring this back on topic...


I will give three choices of were I would be in WW2...


The 'Fantasy' option - 7th Fleiger Division

The 'Family' option - Dunkirk beach with my Grandfather and the rest of the family in the Royal West Kents.

The 'real' option - The Womens Auxilary Balloon Corps or perhaps an artic weather station as far from a German likely to use my nipples for target practices as was possible.

11th Airborne, it may have been a joke, but it was a tasteless and disgusting one at that.
As had been said before, making a joke about such a serious situation is just horrible.


Back on topic, I wouldn't mind flying aircraft f
