I see your point and agree with most of it Animal, but we shouldnt forget that history is rewritten by the victors of any struggle. The U.S. was content to let the europeans fight WW2 untill the Japaneese attacked Pear harbor. To listen to my grandfather tell it the whole thing was won by america all by itself, AND we fought the "evil" nazis from the start.

It doesn't matter what anyone says, feels, does or whatever. In the Constitution (the unchallengeable, undisputed) law of the land, it says that one has freedom of religion. It doesn't say Freedom from religions we don't particulary care for. Lets take for instance catholics (i'm a catholicjust to let everyone know). Theres been some strange stuff going on lately. Lets say someone blesses themselves and this is caught on tape. Noone cares. its the same thing with the nazi heir-hitler salute. We don't like it, in fact we HATE it, but we can't throw someone in jail for offending someone else, it not the way our country works. If we put people away and/or punished them for offending someone everytime it happened, our country would end up like that episode of Southpark [img]smile.gif[/img] . We also don't say that having a 30.06 rifle is ok, but it offends me if you have a German Luger because nazis used them, our system just doesn't work that way. You can argue all you want, but all I have to do is throw down that law of the land and the argument is over.

Case Dismissed...

P.S. I am in NO way a neo-nazi supporter and treat this act as a joke/accident/camera trick whatever until I hear from the STUDENTS what really happened.

strange, I just did a nazi-like salute in the streets, nobody bothered with me. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Uhhmm… to a large extent yes.
But it is undisputed that the Nazis were a nasty bunch of evil blokes who can be stuck up there with Stalin, Khruschev, Castro, Brezhenev, Sharon and all the other nasty people ever.

and just what did sharon do to deserve being placed in the company of men who are responsible for the murders of millions of people.so i guess defending your country against thugs who are killing your civilians is now some kind of a crime to you?
