walmart selling nazi t-shirts

Post by ironsights »

Walmart is selling t-shirts with the infamous 88 skull and the words obey above it. What is wrong with our society? Russia has the highest population of neo, or so called nazi factions in the world yet the majority of Jew's killed in the holocost were Russian...! i can almost gaurantee you that most dog's are of a higher breed than most humans. If this is the case then we should abandon all funding we give for history, were not learning anything from it.

The "Totenkopf" image, which is pretty obscure and only known to be "Nazi" by those who are really into it, was on some shirts sold in Wal-Mart in 2006, and they immediately pulled the shirts off their shelves as soon as they were notified of it.

2006.

Did you just get an email about this, or something? Because lots of stuff gets recycled on the internet long after it's been debunked.

If you're going to tout the 2nd amendment of the American constitution, don't be a hypocrite and slam the 1st amendment of the American constitution.

Now, would I buy a tshirt like that? Of course not..... Should business and people be allowed freedom of speech to the max? Of course. Anytime you give up freedom for security, you've just lost both.

Well, as a kid (before I became a dinosaur wrangler), I knew a lot of friends who were into "Nazi" stuff, complete with swastika pendants and fake helmets. It was common then. Typically, these kids were what you would now call "nerds," simply "doing something different." While I didn't think much of their choice of wear, I also didn't think it really meant anything about the kids involved, because I knew they weren't into the ideology, just the "mean" look. I figured they'd be quite the responsible adults when they got older.

Y'know what? I was right. :mrgreen:

Speaking of kids doing something stupid without thinking:

some school kids in Big Sandy, Texas (small town near Tyler)
recently brought Ku Klux Klan business cards to school.

Apparently some white kids showed these cards to some
minority students, although there doesn't seem to be any
racial problems in the Big Sandy schools.

Big Sandy was/is home to the former LEO who was on the
Midland/Odessa Permian Basin drug task force. After arresting
many people for drugs, he left the force and started to make a
living selling videos on how people can avoid being arrested
when LEO's are searching for controlled substances.
