Delta Charlie 228 Posted October 2, 2000 Share Posted October 2, 2000 Hehe...thought of this board when I came across the wife's October issue of "Family Life," where the advice column lady on page 29 or 30 tells a reader not to let her kids play with the neighbors' kids because the parents collect such stuff and display it prominently. Don't have a weblink for the article, unfortunatelky, but isn't this just more p.c. b.s.?? What % are Jews here anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Reece Posted October 2, 2000 Share Posted October 2, 2000 What does the % of jews on this board have to do with the article,or anything else for that matter? I don't understand the reasoning? I think the advice lady may be overreacting,but you don't have to be Jewish to dislike/disagree with everything the Nazi regime represented.I'd be more careful in the future with questions like that,very close to flamebait, as well as derogatory and disrespectful.

Herr Oberst Posted October 2, 2000 Share Posted October 2, 2000 No, this is not necessarily PC BS. And being Jewish or not has absolutely nothing to do with the remark. If the neighbors display the Nazi memorobilia and promote fascism, I don't want my kids playing with the neighbors kids. I don't want them living on my block. So they would get the cold shoulder from me. If the other family displays it and uses it to teach about history (real stuff, with information from Axis and Allies), or "Grandpa did this and that", and larger "Good" and "Evil" discussion, and the concepts of courage, duty and honor, more power to 'em. Education and understanding are the keys to avoiding any future wars of this magnitude. Both to teach us how to be more tolerant of other opinions, and to teach us what to watch out for. The price of freedom is eternal vigilance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flipper Posted October 2, 2000 Share Posted October 2, 2000 Hmm...I guess the neighbor's could be a problem if say for example they walk there dog down the street an they are goose stepping all the way.....an you'd better call the moving van if the dog is doing it too!

The Commissar Posted October 2, 2000 Share Posted October 2, 2000 Hmm...if the neightbor has several Nazi weapons, empty artillery shells, helmets, or other things of this caliber, then I think it is perfectly OK. Now, if the neightbor has the Nazi flag hung over the fire place and a framed portrait of Adolf Hitler over the dinner table, THEN you got a problem. Otherwise, they are just collectors. ------------------ "...Every position, every meter of Soviet soil must be defended to the last drop of blood..." - Segment from Order 227 "Not a step back" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slapdragon Posted October 2, 2000 Share Posted October 2, 2000 Herr Oberst: Your enlightenment is worthy of great praise. I tip my virtual hat to you. In this day an age saying what you did takes courage! Steve Jackson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno Weiss Posted October 3, 2000 Share Posted October 3, 2000 Personally, I want to know, what % of Republicans we have on here. I have a neighbor that keeps wearing a blue suit and red tie to work, and I've told my dog not to poop in his yard any longer. ------------------ "Wer zuerst schiesst hat mehr von Leben" Moto-(3./JG11 "Graf") Bruno "Stachel" Weiss [This message has been edited by Bruno Weiss (edited 10-03-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big Time Software Posted October 3, 2000 Share Posted October 3, 2000 Whatever religious conviction you belong to, you are more than welcome to use this forum to discuss Combat Mission. If you want to discuss "Family Life" or religion, take it elsewhere. Especially if it has a high flamewar potential, which the original question did. Watch your step, Delta Charlie 228.
