You don't think comparing someone to a political party that was responsible for sending millions of people to die in concentrations camps, and killing millions more in a aggressive war of expansions might be offensive? You may want to read up on history a bit. [/QUOTE]No more offensive than Seinfelds "soup nazi" character. Beleive me, Ive had my jaw broken by "real" nazi's. They arent all history, they just dont dominate. They lurk in the shadows and prey in packs on the weak.
My lack of consideration in using the use of the word "nazi" metaphoricaly had nothing to do with a lack of historical knowledge, but had everything to do with not knowing some people didnt like the use of the word outside of its "historical" context. I learned something new today. [img]smile.gif[/img]
