Nazism is illegal in Germany, as is the swastika and many other symbols of the Nazi party(outside of museums, of course).Blue-State said:
Anyone willing to compare anyone today to something that should have been forgotten about are inconsiderate, rude, narrowminded fools.
We always go through this shit EVERY SINGLE WORLD CUP! It's embarrassing. I wouldn't call a German a Nazi any more than any other nationality.
In fact considering recent politics I'm more likely to call a German a communist and IMHO that is a REAL insult. Really, of all the nations, Modern Germany is LEAST fascistic, their shameful politics of today are their negative socialist policies.
Frankly, I am content with this outcome as I really respect the German team, they are VERY good and better be knocked out by the best than by some piddly team like Bulgaria.
Though 4:1 score is a BIT much, that isn't a sign that Germany is playing extremely well, that is a sign that we are playing unusually badly.
Who knows what is the problem. Frankly I think a giant reset button should be pressed on English football, too much money in the wrong places. We have the wrong emphasis as a public, focus far more on what the football players say in passing comment rather than how they actually PLAY! I don't think we have a particular problem with type of coaches but the way they are approached.

...And the English are a bunch of prancing softies with ugly wives and bad teeth. There you go fans that decided to call a nation Nazis.
Not so nice when you are the one being insulted is it soccer fans?

The thing is, you have to understand how just how bad the conditions were in Germany after the signing of the Treaty of Versailles.Syn_UK said:
Germany had to pay massive, massive reparations to Great Britain, the USA and France. France took away a lot of land from Germany and the Allies took away Germany's colonies.
I suggest you read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Versailles#Impositions_on_Germany
The bottom line is, if there is no money in the country, the country is in ruin, you have a lack of resources and the overall the reception to all of these ludicrous concessions that Germany had to make, would you not want to put someone in power who would promise to change all that? I would, whole-heartedly.
To put it into perspective:
Thats more than what Great Britain owed for the Lend Lease Act, which I believe was just over 1 billion pounds (I could be wrong). We (Britain) only just paid that off in 2006.
I personally don't condone the actions of the holocaust or the mass killings then went on to secure Hitler's power, but rather the reason as to why that madman was put in power in the first place.
Well my Facebook status was more along the lines of "God damn Nazis, allow goddamn instant replay in the game!" but I was referencing more of the rule Nazis that refuse instant replay in baseball, soccer and other sports. People think of Germany as Nazis because it was where the most extreme and most documented acts of horror by Nazis were committed.(Except for Japan, they actually did the worst things in the war, especially to Chinese.
douche is commonly used in England and no I ment foot ball pounds joke also it has one highest crime rates in the UK. Though nothing compared to your lovely Baltimore.Tankdown said:
1. not german but my ex girlfriend is from Germany and she didn't care.Zac Smith said:
2. Because the holocaust was mainly done by German Nazis.
But saying all Germans, even during WW2 were nazis is dumb. Saying all Wehrmacht soldiers are Nazis is like saying all American soldiers are democrats because our president is one.
1. I am an American jew, so i'm usually not referred to as a nazi.
2. All of those countries played a role in the war, so they all deserve some form of disgrace. It was also not the actions of a few, it was the actions of millions of brainwashed Europeans and Japanese who blindly followed Hitler because of his oratory skills and threats. Hitler was an excellent speaker, and even jews who went to rallies and experienced it first hand were swept up by it. I understand that most of the Europeans living today did not cause the devastation, so I only judge and insult the Germans in the various documentaries about the war. I won't go up to a German or Japanese person who is not racist and had no involvement in the war and insult them, although it is possible that the grandparents probably deserved to be insulted for what they may have done. Japan was just as cruel as Germany, and although they did not murder on the massive scale that the nazis did, they were just as racist, performed scientific experiments, engaged in forced death marches, and did things I won't even begin to describe. I would like to be a historian or college history professor at some point, so I try not to judge those who had no role in the war. However, all of those involved in those heinous war crimes and all neo nazis deserve the insults and hatred. So no, calling Germans nazis because they won a soccer game isn't right.

At first I thought he meant all Nazis are Germans but your probably right.rokkolpo said:nice school you went to.LOLYOULOSEGIRL said:
many Germans disagreed with Hitler. but they couldn't do a damn thing about it. there were even German families taking in Jew fugitives.
but i probably took your post to seriously
1. Well I am part German, though my relatives left when it was called Prussia. I'll shut up now.
2. Germany is usually considered the instigators of the war. Which is why they are blamed for it. I just find it weird no one in America holds Japan as accountable as we do Germany. Though we did Nuke them, so maybe it does make sense. *Goes back to play PSP*
1. I'm not German, but if I were, I'd just get sick of people mentioning it.
2. The reason people hate Germany the most is because Japan, Italy, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Finland, Iraq and Thailand didn't torture and slaughter 8 million people.

You cannot assert that america was better off. The english who came to america probably were, but even that is subjective. A culture was eventually all but destroyed, can't really call that better in my opinion. I can't speak for India, never been there, nor really africa. But I do know that dutch interfearance in africa inflamed the hatred between two qroups of african peoples (Hutu's and tutsi's?) so us dutch fucked that shit up, doubt english did much better with thier african territories.Stooo said:
"No government can survive without the consent of the governed" or something like that. No idea who said it anymore, maybe jefferson.Diamondcrackingcock said:
Subjective, for some, the greater scale of what was done in Germany overcomes the increased cruelty found in Japan. Not sure which side of that debate I would be on, I would need more info.The Singularity said:
Study history a little more. The Holocaust was neither the only nor even the largest genocide in human history. I don't have any accurate info about rowanda, or any other african genocide, but I have heard it is on a much much greater scale. Stalin killed around 21 million if i remember correctly. The ottoman empire drove several million armenians into the desert to starve to death, 15 million i think. It is a fact of human history, we are a violent people who will persecute and kill those who are different at the slightest provocation. turns out i cant find my source anymore, so none of it is reliable, but you guys are in front of a computer, if you care that much about specifics, use google.Syn_UK said:
I know, I was half joking in my post. My point was that, in the minds of most British people, we DID beat the nazis. And besides, being involved in WWII is the only important thing we have been involved in in the last 80 years, so a lot of people cling to it as hard as they can. It's why the BNP use Spitfires and Churchill on their website and why there were posts like "We won where it mattered" on Facebook. Britian is a shadow of it's former self, so we are obsessed wtih former glories.Ultratwinkie said:
