Bugger Stein Posted August 5, 2000 Share Posted August 5, 2000 I owe it to myself to clarify things, Hmmmm, looking at my post in the thread of fallschirmjägers is very confusing, I just popped in without reading the background, stumbled across the Tickle-Me-Hitler post and got this image of a MATTEL series of the wartime leaders. This was a bit unfortunate (Jochen, seriously, "Rat**** Roosevelt", come on...) Honestly, I was way out of line, getting carried away, actually now in the light of things, I´m feeling a bit ashamed. Thinking more in terms of satire pointed towards the toyindustry commercial, rereading it makes it look like a political statement of a very ultrarightwing suspect nature, to make things clear, before anyone has a go at me for this: I do believe that ww2 was as close to a fight between good (Yes that´s the allies) against evil (Yes the Nazis) that you can get (if those terms can correspond to something as horrible as war). I did not intend to make fun of either Roosevelt or Churchill for their wareffort (FRanco and Stalin on the other hand can have it, though i know the Russians actually won the war I don´t se Stalinism as a much nicer thing than Nazism, they are both all time lows of human history). And if "Rat**** Roosevelt" is a way of Jochen to applaud my post for it´s unfortunate political implications I feel sorry for him, and if he didn´t mean it like that lets just leave it there,(and I still think tickle-me-Hitler is kinda funny, and maybe a the series of wartime leaders too, in a Southpark Kind of Way). Needless to say I am really glad that the Third Reich was never forfilled. In short don´t read in politics in my MATTEL post. It simply is NO political statement. So don´t use it as such!!! (not that anyone has yet). Sorry for posting without thinking (as I have this time around). And no Jochen I´m not accusing you of anything, just clearifying my own standpoint!

JOCHEN PEIPER Posted August 5, 2000 Share Posted August 5, 2000 Well said... and ditto for my comment as well... It's just that certain people have taken past posts of mine far too seriously and have hit back at me,,, and my Grandfather in particular... As he was in the 8th SS Kavallerie Division "Florian Geyer" Based on this they called me a NAZI for defending my Grandfather...

Formerly Babra Posted August 5, 2000 Share Posted August 5, 2000 You will find this board to be very forgiving. I've had it out with a few people, and they with me. But people can't forget something if you keep bringing it up. Let it go now. ------------------ It's a mother-beautiful bridge and it's gonna be THERE.

I riffed on something funny that Fionn said, and you took it from there (I've got a better idea for a Roosevelt doll; you wind him up and he tries to stack the Supreme Court against you).
