one bad thing about history is, it needs to become history before sensitivity comes along. systematic execution/expulsion of innocent people ..numbering in millions has been happening for the past 60 years. we're livin it but tend not to remember or care ...but that won't turn it into a lie or that its not happenin. and what's real disturbin is the fact that the executioners are the ones who were or had family, friends at those camps i wish we all shed a tear for the unfortunate sufferins of lives in our lifetime
I'm not condoning or endorsing it but this sounds like classic Biker behaviour. It's like Machiavelli said "It is better to be feared than loved." The point in dressing like this is intimidation and provocation and it looks like it worked. It isn't unusual to see bikers in Nazi helmets and SS jewelery even though they would be amongst the first to be handed a bar of soap and sent to the shower under a Nazi regeme. It's almost like a 1% patch. (This goes back to a law enforcement statement that 99% of all bikers are harmless). Once one level of shock wears off they feel the need to up the ante. Usually it stops at that. Hunter S. Thompson does a good job of explaining this in his book Hell's Angels. Peace Out, Rev J
Hunter S. had his own "little man syndrome" going on. He fucking practically terrorized the town of Aspen.
I once had one of these assholes (who was part American Indian) tell me that Hitler had the right idea! WTF, fuckin idiot. When I told him what probably would of happened to his people if Hitler won the war he got all pissed. Dont let an asshole like that have a negative affect on your day, karma will get him in the end.
Yellowcab, Your advice reminded me of a story I once read: There was an old monk and a young monk walking down a trail in the woods that came to a shallow river. Standing at the edge of the river was a well dressed lady pondering how to get across. The old monk picked her up and carried her across the river and put her down on the other bank where she thanked him and gave him a peck on the cheek. The two monks continued to walk down the path the young monk clearly upset. The old monk asked him what was wrong. The young monk brought up the incedent at the river and reminded the old monk of their vows not to touch women. The old monk then looked at him and responded, "I put the young lady down at the river. Why are you still carrying her?" I'm not saying you should forget the Haulocaust. Just the asshole in the resturaunt because you've given him too much headspace and chances are you will never see him again. Peace Out, Rev J
rev j- your words are full of knowlage and kindness yet so true and abrupt haha. i have also heard this story and i love it, thought about it before i posted this origionaly actualy. the reason i did postthis thread is because i couldnt stop thinking about it. i havnt thought about that day since, however have started looking into history like this as well as becoming less ignorant about darfur (excuse my spelling) a sitchuation is what you take from it...so it wasnt all bad
You're talking about Jews and Muslims. This issue is a double edged sword and it's fueled by radical extremists on both sides. There won't be a solution to that issue until Muslims and Jews put aside their zealotry. One of my favorite jokes goes like this: A guy is sitting in his favorite place of worship, when he suddenly finds that he has an open channel to God (or Allah, if you prefer). God speaks to him and says, "YOU HAVE BEEN A GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT. I WILL GRANT YOU YOUR HEARTS DESIRE." The guy thinks about it for a while and says, "I'd like you to create a bridge to Hawaii, so I can dive there instead of flying. I hate to fly." God says, "SORRY, NO CAN DO. A BRIDGE TO HAWAII WOULD NEVER STAND. THE CURRENTS AND STORMS AND LOGISTICS WOULD MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE. YOU MUST THINK OF SOMETHING ELSE." So the guy thinks a while and he says, "I would like for there to be peace in the middle east. God considers this for a minute and says, "SO, WOULD YOU LIKE TWO LANES OR FOUR?" I don't make light of the situation in the middle east, but when God and Allah are used as the basis for war, how can a case be made for ending it?
oh nevermind the words used by media and the politicians, this 'both sides' thing has been mentioned enough to get into all our minds. you cannot really, seriously, compare ..they cannot be. there's an occupier side, and then there's the occupied ..walled. the real cause is fading away from memories while the 'both sides' rhetoric is played the Jews have made it about God and with the support/sympathy from western (colonial) governments have set-up their own 21st century colony and re-named it too!
Remember--shirts don't kill. Many people love to shock others with this kind of stuff,but freedom of speech trumps censorship in most cases. Good chance he wouldn't have the plums to wear that shirt in Israel and likewise no one in their right mind would wear a shirt that said " niggers just love porkchops" in Africa. We are differant here and that's the way it should be.
Don't kid yourself. If those two are 1%ers (as in "outlaw bikers") yea they would! T4E...Let it go. If that's the worst you ever see consider yourself fortunate. There's a lot of evil in this world. Confront them??? ROTFLMAO...If they are bikers chances are that you and even the mighty Gorilla Warfare would need much dental work afterward if you did. LET IT GO..... Zen
The 1%ers (Hell's angels) went to Hawaii and tried to act bad-ass. The only asses involved were their own that got handed to them by the Hawaiians. You just don't push some people with smart-ass actions,free speech or otherwise. Certainly not Polynesians.
There are 3 mothers you don't mess with: 1)Mother nature 2)Mother in laws 3)Motherfucking polynesians Peace Out, Rev J
sumetimes it's difficult not to say something though. there's been times when wisdom dictates the person could beat the shit out of me but i say something anyway...sometimes though it's best not to give the person the attention they are seeking. there are alot of assholes in the world unfortunatley.but still there'sa times when i have to confront someone.especcialy if i happen to be in a bad mood myself.
Thing is,you won't change 'em. I say ,intervene when someone or some animal is being mis-treated--then jump right in. I do ,and the chips always fall where they may.
He's lucky he's American. There are plenty of countries where wearing that shirt would indeed be a crime.
I'm not gonna read anything but the first post so I don't know what I'm walking into rite now, btw. That's so sad Why do people think like this?
stepping in doesn't always work either. People don't wanna hear that their joke or thoughts are sick and twisted or that being cruel to an animal is okay. But all you can do is your best and yes OP would have ended up in the hospital. So this guy is a p.o.s. The world is full of them. Fight hate by spreading love! hugssssssssssssssssss peace Delfynasa
Heyy man, the world is filled with haters! It's a truth we must accept. People are filled with negativity and will do whatever they can to spread it. If you led the negativity get to you then your screwin yourself over. There's no justification for that kind of thing, and i understand your feelings about it, i've teared up over the horrible stuff people try to spread, and i can completely relate. But there's no need to let it get to you- It's just the kind of bullshit you gotta ignore and pass by as ignorance. Just my two cents!
