    I don't care much for Amy, but my point is the hypocrisy.
    I can truly say I don't know how I would feel, my dad died a few months ago, but that as a complicated relationship, maybe I'm just cold and emotionless

    Heard that live and was think WTF too. Also, not "some student" but rather the Tuks FM DJ.

    The Nazi thing is getting old though. There are concentration camps right _now_ in North Korea. Doesn't seem to bother anybody.

    Although he couldn’t drive, Hitler loved cars and wanted every family in Germany to own a car. He even became involved in designing the affordable Volkswagen (The People's Car). The Nazis created a scheme whereby the workers could get a car. The Beetle, designed by Ferdinand Porsche, cost 990 marks. This was about 35 weeks wages for the average worker.

    To pay for one, workers went on a hire purchase scheme. They paid 5 marks a week into an account. Theoretically, when the account had reached 750 marks the worker would be given an order number which would lead to them receiving a car. In fact, no-one received a car. The millions of marks invested into the scheme were re-directed into the rapidly expanding weapons factories. This accelerated as World War Two approached. No-one complained as to do so could lead to serious trouble with the secret police.

    This is why the people that never went to war just start spewing this kind of kak. I must admit firstly that I've never been in the army and therefor fought in a war, but I have though about it a lot and I don't think any words could describe the terror, fear and all the emotions that goes along with it. Especially the ones connected to the holocaust and all the other big atrocities that have been committed by the insane leaders down in history lane.

    I also think that it's human nature to be insensitive to things that you know is a touchy thing for others. It all comes down to people just being too selfish to care about any other human beings in the world, with the exception in a few cases, obviously.

    People are getting ignorant and they will forget, especially the generations that were never involved. It's sad, but true. I will however stand with my feeling that people are getting more selfish, greedy and ignorant by the day. It might also be that the more we're discovering new technology and moving a much more digital age and even stuff like experimenting with enhancing humans to live longer with nanobots etc, it could be that we're losing touch with our humanity "as we know it"? I'm not sure..maybe I just have a crazy imagination?

    We're all hypocrites dude, whether we would like to admit it or not. If you can admit to that, at least it puts you in a more honorable position :P

    Matt Stone and Trey Parker, who are probably the most controversial producers out there, maintain that you either make fun of everyone ... or nobody at all.

    Making fun of everyone is not discriminating against them, it's a product of the formula: tragedy + time = comedy. When you start distinguishing between who is ok to be made fun of and who isn't, only THEN are you're discriminating.

    You may argue that some jokes are socially accepted to be more offensive than others, but no matter the joke, it will always be most offensive to those it is directed at.

    There's a time and place for everything.
