"i.e americans grasping satire?" It was closed by the webmaster, Phobiazero, who is swedish. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think he meant, that people wouldnt know how to react, to an american understanding satire... as americans seem to take things at face value? |
||||||||

amazing..if something that mild can get banned, then maybe this is the fucking third reich.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Maybe... |
||||||||
|
|

why a censor if I dont understand it? |

Morton: Just how the hell is that offensive?? well according to the fact that about 6 million jews where murdered due to this 'teamwork' it might just remind some people of their relatives who where amongst those people, but hey, despite that little fact teamwork was a great thing in this case ey what the fuck is this, the fifties? uh sorry, i didn't know we should've forgotten about it after the fifties or that it's appropriate to make jokes about it since then, once again, i wasn't offended, but everyone with some working braincells can see that it might bring back awful memories to some people |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Complaining about something like that, would be like complaining about Schindler's List - becuase "ohh, it brings back too many memories"..now, no-one would even approuch Schindler's List in that way..becuase its universially considered to be a serious film, and a "work of art"...but, what if i was to approuch that poster in that context, what then? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
is teamwork any company or something that I am missing? or is just like anybody working in a team? in this case I just dont see it offensive nor funny |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't see how schindler's list makes a joke about the second world war, maybe you can help me out |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you don't see how that picture might be offensive to some peopl, you're dumb... God knows if I was tortured in a nazi concentration camp for 5 years, and then saw this 50 years later, I would not laugh... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, but if you'll just notice..i didn't actually say that..i said what if i was to consider something (apparently) offensive in the same context as Schindler's List? Im showing how ridiculous censorship is in any situation, anywhere.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, but you wouldn't be offended by something like Schindler's List..because that's "okay" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
schindlers list can't be taken as mocking the holocaust... that poster can be... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i know you didn't say that, but i pointed out the difference between the two, schindler's list gives a view on how terrible that time was, the picture makes a joke about it which might offend people, therefore censorship is not always ridiculous |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
exactly my point - and that no one has the right to bann something becuase there is a possibility that someone can interpret either "works" differently.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but as it has been shown - not everyone has "gotten" the poster... and if you don't get it, how can it offend? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nobody answers me? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The only thing I find offensive is crap jokes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what's that got to do with it? it's all about the (wrong) intention god, why am i even wasting my time on this, i should be working right now |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
am I being censored? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
agreed. It wasn't funny or intelligent anyway...even more reasons why it souldn't have been censored? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, and everyone has an interpretation of what the intention was.. It might look nice to some people, its offensive to others.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i know what i'd like censored around here |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
up yours Trivellion.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok... now I get my problem with that joke... it is not that I didnt get the point... the fact is that it is not funny at all, and I was trying to find the funny element where there was not. my opinion: censorship should be censored but closing a thread with insults or whatever that offends anyone is not censorship... its just protecting everybody`s right not to be insulted or offended, everybody´s right to be respected at everymoment. this is: my freedom ends where yours starts. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the deal is about offensive purposes, not how people will interpretate it. My God komakino, how old are you? i can't believe you really don't see the issue. Nacmat, i actually don't understand your question sorry. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes. Anyone who makes unfunny postings on this MB should be censored. But the only way to ensure quality control as far as wit is concerned is to kame me a moderator. I have a very sophisticated sense of humour. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
look, the point is..what if someone wanted to post on the subject?..as far as i could see..there was no insults. I don't need "protection" from anyone, i should be alowed to comment on anything - if thats obstructed, then fuck you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
zeus, the only thing you've done wrong is apologise. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and we are forgetting the most important fact: this is not a democrazy, phob will close just whatever he wants we like it or not. if he finds the post has to be closed he will close it... and will not justify why he did it. if you like that fine, if you dont, you know where the exit is |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, ill probably get banned now for "knowing too much" :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Your so called irony does not cut any mustard with me. There is nothing funny about the holocaust. Six million Jewish people who had done nothing wrong were tortured, raped and slaughtered like animals. Your so called post-modern ironic nazi picture has offended me deeply and i can't wait to see your next hilarious avator. A black person getting lynched, maybe? Or a baby getting raped? Who knows? All i know is it's going to be hilariously tongue in cheek and totally zany and ironic. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dont think that picture was suggesting anything about the holocaust being 'ok' and so forth. Sure, it was offensive to some, but surely those who were offended should stand up and argue their point rather than the topic being closed down to protect people or whatever. Man, im talking out my ass today. Close the board instead. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm arguing my point, asswipe. What I'm saying is that saying that you are being ironic is a wonderful get out clause for all these racist bastards. Why a Nazi picture in the first place? Why did Zeus do it? Why? |
||||||||

I remember this one documentary, 'Hitler's Henchmen,' and it talked about how one of his guys got these gypsy twin children, these two girls, took them away one day (this while they were in the camp) and returned them later and they were surgically sewn together by the back (I think one already had a hunchback). One armyman was talking about how they weren't crying, just weeping, and not like in agony. Their parents suffocated them with a blanket later. I truly like that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what's the difference between crying and weeping again? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, now that you mention it, look at that alanis morissette, i knew something wasnt right about that one. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
crying is like the full on tears, weeping is like the sniffles and shit afterwards. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so the arguing continues in this thread instead... i see.... |
