- d17182, on 02/05/2009, -4/+63Did you even watch the whole video? Particularly the end where it said the local Jewish Community Relation Counsel of Minnesota wasn't upset by this?
This is just a case of some public school employees with a juvenile sense of humor that a local news station is using to promote an idea of controversy with the postscript of "Oh and by the way, the locals who could have been offended by this weren't offended."
Jews don't need to grow balls. I assure you, we have balls and (speaking for myself) a great sense of humor.
News crews like this one need to grow some journalistic ethics and stop trying to stir up ***** where there isn't really a problem.
As for the school employee's juvenile sense of humor? Meh, I've seen worse. Not digg-worthy. - SEANWOOKIE, on 02/05/2009, -11/+674chan and real life does not mix.
- fightingforair, on 02/05/2009, -6/+56Ugh, the media TRYING to spin something so simple out of control.
Sure it was a little offensive, but even the Jewish community leaders didn't get the scare the media wanted them to get.
Every news organization just wants that recognition, by any means necessary. - almondfilter3, on 02/05/2009, -2/+51Can we stop with the attack on anything even slightly offensive? Country is full of whiney people who want credit for calling out other people.
- Swivelstick, on 02/05/2009, -20/+66Why do the Jews own the holocaust why do we never hear mention of the other victims.
- serif69, on 02/05/2009, -9/+55DiggNazi2, with a picture of Hitler as an avatar, who only diggs stories about Israel being evil, talking about double standards in a story about the Holocaust. Nice.
- Gat0rvean, on 02/05/2009, -15/+61Nobody can take a joke anymore, soon you wanks are going to force the Government to regulate what you can and can't say....
- stuartjmoore, on 02/05/2009, -12/+54So two Holocaust victims walk into a bar...
- presidentraygun, on 02/05/2009, -0/+37There was hysterical story last year where someone posted the out of the pool pic from 4 chan, at a local pool. The residents assumed it was directed at two black children that lived in the area. They even called in the local FBI hate crimes division. :P
- pe5t1lence, on 02/05/2009, -7/+39What, too soon?
- innocentsinner, on 02/05/2009, -5/+33Torture time: Haha
Teachers calling themselves Adolf: Haha
Having the students wear yellow stars of David: WTF?! - madeingermany, on 02/05/2009, -11/+38If the email went only to a closed group of people, I don't see what the big deal is.
If she had said anything to the kids, I'd understand.
But private joke should not cost you your job. - crsnglb, on 02/05/2009, -2/+26When will people learn? Never document anything you wouldn't want everyone to see! If you send a mass email of something that is obviously going to offend SOMEBODY, you deserve what you get.
- jotux, on 02/05/2009, -3/+26http://instantcrickets.com/
- inactive, on 02/05/2009, -12/+34Yeah...and there is no difference to people dying while fighting in a war and almost 3/4s of your entire population being wiped out in death camps.
- SirBruce, on 02/06/2009, -3/+25He's not talking about military and civllian casualities. He's talking about the OTHER minorities that were persecuted and murdered along with the Jews: the gays, the gypsies, etc.
- VibhuC812, on 02/05/2009, -7/+29Yes. Because the Jews were responsible for the Revolutionary War, French-Indian War, Civil War, Spanish-American War, and the Vietnam War. Glad to see that someone was paying attention in history class.
- sunsetprojects, on 02/06/2009, -5/+26No one mentions the Armenian Holocaust or the Greek Holocaust. In California the Armenian community wanted a holocaust museum of their own but the jewish community protested and stop it.
- Julian88888888, on 02/06/2009, -0/+19dugg for crazy.
- dracostimpy, on 02/06/2009, -8/+26This isn't a joke... this is 100% positive proof that a large and organized neo-Nazi movement is poised to take over America at any moment and once again reenact the horror that was the Holocaust.
As such, I think it's important that we Israel-loving evangelicals take a few moments to inspect our attic space to ensure that it's up to livable conditions and has a large store of nonperishable kosher food, because it's up to you and me to save our Jewish compatriots from the imminent threat of mass extermination at the hands of the millions of maniacal skinheads who elected a black man President just to fool us into thinking they weren't poised to attack at any moment! - wtrwlkr, on 02/05/2009, -2/+19He fell off the guard tower
- Tubbles, on 02/05/2009, -2/+19is "under fire" a good term to use when talking about the holocaust?
- krellor, on 02/05/2009, -23/+40According to Wikipedia 72.7 million people died in WWII. 5.7 million of them were Jewish. When will the Jews stop the sob story with the war? What about the gypsies? Or the freaking 26 million dead Russians. Don't see anyone else trying to ban the word holocaust for anything but the WWII extermination of Jews.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II_casualti ... - serif69, on 02/05/2009, -6/+23It typically isn't Jews who get all up in arms about ***** like this. It's the whole "white guilt" movement. The same people who get pissed off at any sort of humor as it relates to the differences between people, like using the word "retarded". Which is ***** retarded.
- 33PercentGod, on 02/06/2009, -4/+21Have you heard about Hitler's oven?
It seats 500. - omgwtflawl, on 02/05/2009, -6/+21Why is the holocaust the only large scale massacre that is so taboo? Sure it was awful, but it was no more awful then what Stalin or Mao did, and people joke about that sort of thing all the time. Look at this:
http://www.zazzle.com/chairman_mao_is_my_homeboy_s ...
Not to mention the Che Guevara Circle jerk that happens every once in a while, despite the fact that he was the executioner in a political prison in Cuba. - Zervaman, on 02/05/2009, -4/+19How ignorant can you get? You think only Jews died in the holocaust?
- treas, on 02/05/2009, -1/+15quoting the news anchor here
"Now we showed the email the Jewish Community Relations Council of Minnesota. After reading the email, they weren't angry and said they offered to assist teachers here at this school with the holocaust simulation."
you're a ***** moron - SaladCactusKing, on 02/05/2009, -2/+16Casualties of War != Factory style extermination.
- inactive, on 02/05/2009, -6/+20Yeah, because War causalities are the same thing as genocide, right?
Idiot. - kalvinb, on 02/05/2009, -0/+13You can search Google to learn about all the jokes Jews have about the holocaust.
For a lot of people humor is used to deal with horror. - Dauntless1, on 02/06/2009, -1/+14Gee, a large group denying a minority the use of a word in California. I'm starting to see a trend.
- inactive, on 02/05/2009, -4/+16Please show me ONE person who has made jokes about the stuff going on in Gaza.
Seriously, you make yourself look more and more stupid every time you try to communicate. - jmuh, on 02/06/2009, -0/+11When I was in 8th grade, one of my teachers did a similar "simulation" on us. Only it didn't require parental consent, and it wasn't _overtly_ about the Holocaust. Also, she didn't tell us that she had started this simulation. Over the course of a couple days, she just started treating us differently, and eventually some of us ended up wearing special "patches." Others were recruited into "Nazi" roles. I'm pretty sure it ended in chaos, which, surprise!
The whole thing was very confusing, especially because I think we were learning about the 60s at the time. I guess the lesson was that holocausts can happen even when you least expect them!? - inactive, on 02/06/2009, -3/+13That's because you're a pussy.
- wpi97, on 02/05/2009, -3/+13Are you saying it was the Zionists who were responsible for the French and Indian War?
- Whackly, on 02/06/2009, -7/+17oven
- RNEMESiS42, on 02/06/2009, -1/+11She did it for the lulz, can't they understand that?
- MH94, on 02/05/2009, -9/+19How come the holocaust is so off-limits and must be revered by everyone. Every people have passed through some type of hardship in their history and it's totally ok for them to remember it, but why is it that this is the only event that must be remembered and honored by every person from every nation. It has reached the point that if you don't show compassion then you are considered at fault and even not patriotic.
It's an unfortunate event in history... and that's all it is. Stop blowing it out of proportion! - inactive, on 02/05/2009, -4/+13Since when does God operate a utilities company?
- Dauntless1, on 02/06/2009, -0/+9I work at a school. Guess what? If the event happens, it must have the approval of the school board, and it was said that parental permission was required to participate. In an event that happened once already, last year. So, she was supposed to expect to get fired for something that was greenlighted once already?
- akamurph, on 02/06/2009, -0/+9It's not the Jews, it's the PC ***** you have to deal with everywhere you go... it's out of hand.
- Dauntless1, on 02/06/2009, -2/+11Yeah, who gives a ***** about a holocaust if it's only a million victims. Ass.
- radu79, on 02/05/2009, -5/+14ORly?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestine - MrChunks, on 02/06/2009, -0/+8He's had to diversify as the old christianity business isn't as profitable anymore. Apparently, he blames Xenu for encroaching on his turf.
- BCPneumatics, on 02/06/2009, -1/+9The reason we let Stalin get away with it is because he killed his own people, and we're sort of fine with that.
"Oh go on, help yourself. We've been trying to kill you for ages."
Hitler killed people next door. Oh, stupid man. After a couple of years we wont stand for that, will we? - gibrth, on 02/05/2009, -4/+12buried for really not being newsworthy. the station was trying to make it into some huge issue but it's really not. the reaction of the local jewish community tells it all
- caeser5786, on 02/06/2009, -11/+19Well this will probably send me right to hell but...
Q: What's the difference between a Jew and a pizza?
A: a pizza doesn't scream when you put it in an oven - SirBruce, on 02/06/2009, -0/+8Have deaf people heard about the word?
