Oddly enough, as much as I've hated Microsoft since they killed Windows 3.1 and DOS. I actually find myself in complete agreement with their actions. Now if they weren't only just banning these idiots but having them secretly murdered. Then the world would be an immensely better place.

This is one of them.
Public opinion is the number 1 priority on Microsoft's list.
they only ban the things the public find offensive.
...thank god they ban Swastikas and not Panda's or the Dutch ...

Yes, in my own Scottish way.Daffy F said:
Unless your entire comment was sarcastic in a way to mimic the comic, ie. that you felt the ban was stupid and a breach of people's rights.
And if you're gonna let people own guns, then LET ME SHOOT PEOPLE!HankMan said:
Oh wait, it's a business we're talking about? And we have a Terms of Use policy? Microsoft is the one providing the service, and they have the final say on what can be done/shown on Xbox Live. If your actions are giving them a bad reputation and costing them potential money, they have no reason at all to keep you as customer.
I may not mind it, but it's kind of sad in a way that there's an entire culture that has just grown complacent with such things. We are not doing Video Games as a medium any good if they're associated with Nazism and Penises. There is a place for that kind of content. It's called 4chan.
dude, your missin the whole point! its no about you knowing their douchbags and not bein offended, its about those people who actually give a crap about stuff like this and dont want it in there face. im so fed up of everyone yellin "human rights" when ever a corporation steps on them. You cant just claim "human rights" coz Microsoft dont like what your postin. the right to the freedom of speech is not something you just have its something you have to earn. just coz the HRA says you cant be silenced on the issues that are important doesn?t mean that you have the right to go throwin you vagina all over the place. dont believe me? im a 2nd year law student. look it up.
also, just coz your not offended by it, and your **** friends arent offended by it doesnt mean its not offensive. if i was a Jewish mom i wouldnt want my little kid goin online to see cocks and holocaust reminders all over the fuckin place. dont get me wrong, i think that society can go WAY over the top in the name of "protecting the innocence of children". Especially when they teach them sex ed at 10. i just think that some of this stuff shouldnt be up there. if u let the trolls have their nazi related fun without some sort of censorship then not only are you going to alienate a HEAUGE proportion of players, but your goin to get trolls pushin bigger and bigger taboos. just look what happened to that youtube girl who said she was better than the people on 4chan.
"i cant eat, i cant sleep" not good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSTyHsKu6og
im not sayin you should just bend over and let microsoft ban everythin that would every offend anyone ever...... just........ this is too much.....
try and see it from there side.

Glad Im not the only one who thinks the same way, as for the topic at hand, ban them, they most likely deserve itStraying Bullet said:
Does anyone know whether other consoles are adopting this ban or if its contained to Xbox Live? And, yes, it might be a tasteless symbol, but I don't really mind it. Regardless of what they were fighting for, the German military in World War II performed rather well if memory serves.
Xbox Live and its users tends to get more attention in general as far as the current generation of console online gamingnjsykora said:
not a great repute to hold when PSN, and heck not to mention the masses using PCs to game, but eh what can you do (except not troll)
really? i was always under the impression it was from the 1950s by a German man you had spent time in a concentration camp (I assume by Augustinian Rome, you're refering to the period of Rome that Augustus ruled?)albino boo said:

You're wrong. I'm not a 4 chan user. (though I have been known to browse the wallpaper section occasionally) The famous Goatse.cx shock image was launched in 1999, 4 chan wasn't founded until 2003. If 4 chan "generated" goatse.cx then it did so Marty McFly style.HentMas said:
He's refering to the "Dulce Et Decorum est" quote in the comic's tagline. Not the poem I was parodying in the actual strip.tthor said:
Dulce et decorum est pro xbox livus actus douchebagus is reference to Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori which was written by Horace somewhere around 20 BC. However Dulce et decorum est these days is best know from the Wilfred Owen poem who used the original sentiment of how sweet it is to die for ones country in bitter and ironic way.tthor said:
