Political Cartoons

I agree....the kid did a bang up job too!

If he dressed up a ghandi -- people would be all pissed off too....

(Personally I woulda dressed up as Margaret Thatcher!)

Like i tell most people -- "FUCK OFF!" "Ever see "The Producers"?!!!"

Sha!

From:

Dressing as a nazi is beyond tacky in my opinion.

The threme of the party is a non issue because there are countless other things he could have dressed as if he wanted to be tasteless. Probably most of which would not have caused the shit to hit the fan like it has.

From:

...is there a LAW that says....NO NAZI STUFF?

OOo...I might "offend" someone!

He can dress up as anything he wants....Tacky or not.

Shit, he shoulda dressed up as a Priest and had another kid dress up as an "Alter boy" ...and had some simulated anal sex with him.

Now THAT's a statement!

From:

"...is there a LAW that says....NO NAZI STUFF?"

Actualy, the EU is consittering just such a law at this very moment, sparked by the Prince Harry incident, which seems to me like both an overreaction and a dangerous precident. I hate Nazis as much as the next guy (maybe more) but I'm also concerned about the damage such a ban could have on the right of free speech and expression in Europe.

From:

EXACTLY!

From:

As long it only effects the speech and expression of nazi shitheads, I don't see this as a bad thing. Germany banned hate literature, why not ban the rest of that garbage?

From:

How else can you track them?!

Ban it all....all books, etc.

Banning is not the way to do it...EDUCATION IS!

From:

The problem is that if we make an ecxeption to free speech for nazi shitheads, what we're basicaly doing is banning a form of unpopular speech. It's not that I want to protect nazis or anything, but like I said, it sets a dangerous precident which could allow other such bans on other forms of unpopular speech.

From:

Thats not a problem. You should know that not all forms of free speech are protected speech. Many forms of speech are illegal and often punished by law (libel, slander, death threats, terrorist threats) I've even seen some hate crime cases like a cross burning try be defended as "free speech" well that gets shot down real quick.

From:

Well those someones might be every single Jewish person on the planet or anyone else who thinks that Nazi symbolism is disgusting and has no place. Flashing around Nazi symbolism goes way beyond simply being offended. There are survivors of the holocaust still running around and seeing something like that can cause undo suffering in them because of the atrocities they endured.

Too many people think because if they can do something that they should. But I think it wouldn be more wise to actually stop and think if they should.

And on a personal note, it disturbs me that you would even defend his behavior directly or indirectly.

From:

Hmm....maybe we should outlaw socialism cus Stalin killed WAY more people than Hitler -- hell, his OWN people!

People with NAZI symbols and guns don't kill people -- IDIOTS with Nazi symbols and guns kill people!

They use them TO OFFEND -- cus they can't think up their OWN symbols.

They symbols are just that -- symbols. It's the assholes that wear them that SHOULD be the offensive ones.

Personally...when i see those symbols i laugh....reminds me of a bunch of fucking clowns.

Now Mimes....MIMES are OFFENSIVE!

From:

Banning socialism sounds great to me.

The germans have got the right idea when they banned Mein Kampf, I think it should be taken a step further and banning nazis or nazi symbols. And socialists.

From:

While were at it...ban the bible and all that religious shit too!!! Now THAT'S offensive shit!

From:

Actualy, there've probably been more people killed under the sign of the cross than the swaztica. The crusades, the inquisition, the Salem witch trials (not to mention the European witch trials, which were actualy worse and indirectly led to the spread of the black plauge).

From:

EXACTLY!! And that's just the "christianity" side of it....there are a ton more "religions" or belief systems out there!

Hell, gotta get rid of excess population some way.....

From:

"...it disturbs me that you would even defend his behavior directly or indirectly."

Personaly, I don't defend his behavior. Even if it was a 'bad taste' party, he should have known better. What I'm defending is his RIGHT to be an insensative jerk.

At the risk of sounding pendantic, the theme of the party was "Colonials and Natives", not a bad taste theme - and i'm not entirely sure the lad has the wit to make a satirical jibe at his family genaology...

From:

Colonial or Native???

Well since Adolph was trying to "colonise" the REST of the world with little aryan folk. And what do "colonials" do??...why the KILL the natives!!! ...it does fit the theme.

Tasteless? Hmm... Maybe he should have gone with blackface and a banjo instead.

BTW, the denizens of FARK (http://forums.fark.com/cgi/fark/comments.pl?IDLink=1304176) had a grand ole time Photoshopping alternate costumes for Harry.
