I disagree. No one was calling anyone a Nazi. I think it was clear that he meant that certain people would wear that shirt just to get attention, even though they're not a Nazi or even close to it.

I guess I can see how some people would take it the wrong way, which is why I'm going to delete the posts.

Thank you.

I also deleted the pictures of the woman wearing shorts with questionable graphics on them.

Hey if you can walk around in public with them, they should be good enough for the internets! :-D

Yes, posting that picture was in bad ..even extremely poor taste. Yes, you put your foot in your mouth poster, but you know what I didn't hear from you poster or others who thought it humorous, even after being informed that GSS is Jewish, was an apology.

A warm Thank you to those individuals that stood up in his defense. To those who found it amusing or even humorous, guess again ,it is extremely offensive to any Jewish person. You defamed my Jewish brother by associating him with that symbol. Yes I am Jewish and if you wish to see my papers I have them.

What I fail to understand is why this post has not been deleted by the individual that posted it or why this moderated board has not removed it. It can only lead me to believe that this forum shares the same views, it's humorous. Please remove the said post and any posts that contains that photo.

I find this whole thread demeaning at best and should be deleted.

The post was deleted. That was because we got a complaint from a poster at 6:51pm tonight. I personally do not review every post, nor do any of the other moderators. After the complaint was registered, we discussed what to do. A moderator acted. Contrary to belief, this board is by and large self-moderating and we act when we see something or when something is brought to our attention (and that is no shi%).

And yes, iwon't the post, as well as another, have been deleted for quite some time now. If you were concerned, why did you not report it? All you need to do is click on the "report post" link, which is the "
report.gif
" in the lower left hand corner of each post. You can also PM us and let us know of any problems and we will respond.

In order to make this place work we need folks to meet us half way. That's all. :beer:

Thanks. I apologize for the post to anyone that was offended. It was in poor taste. Please accept my apology. You are right I should have deleted the pic when I found out he was Jewish. I was not thinking.

Bad taste? That pretty much pales to anything GSS ever did. That it would cross your mind to begin with is telling.

???????? I did not intend it to be racist. I left the caption from the pic. Why would anyone wear that in public is byond me.

I would have deleted myself if someone had sent a PM to me.

Some of the comments on the peopleofwalmart site are over the edge outrageous. :uzi:

re: the kid on a leash:
"I agree with ‘toddlermom”… it’s a huge safety issue. I was always worried about my kid being grabbed, with a leash they were tied to me… less likely to get grabbed. … there are always those crazy folk out there looking to snatch a loose child."

Where the hell does HMPH live? Uganda? or Perpetual State of Paranoia?

Come to think of it, maybe that's why skier parents put their kids on a leash. Damn, Kmart is high on the abduction list. :roll: Childhood slavery target for sure. :blink: Be careful out there people, the slopes are a dangerous place!
