That's unfair Rokenn. He was apologizing and you insulted him. "Nazi" enjoys common usage in the USA in the way he mentioned, and can be heard on TV. How many times have we heard "feminazi" or "econazi?" There is a BIG difference in how this term is viewed in usage in the USA and in Europe. While your reasoning as to why it is insulting is fine, please don't act as if folks in the USA don't toss the term around a lot.

Well when people through around terms like xxxx-nazi, in my eyes, they totally discredit themselves and their arguements. Just becuase it has entered common usage does not mean it should be tolerated. [/QUOTE] Well Im shocked and horrified that I find myself agreeing with Rokenn  I have to say, I dislike the way we minimize and dilute horrific terms and references due to our ever less strict use of the language...and yeah..I am guilty of it too
PS. I think the Nazi's that broke your Jaw Chewie are poor immitation wannabe's who are unable to deal with reality...
