I have the hitler avatar because it goes with my solo for the drum comp... a drum solo over a hitler speech.
Before my avatar was a video of George W. Bush II flipping everyone off... I figured that was far more offensive then hitler.
We already kicked hitler's butt.. so now it's just making fun of the dead. Bush on the other hand is off killing mass amounts of people and I had a video of him flipping the world off - that's GOT to be more offensive then a picture of an old dead dictator.

oh, his time will come......
as for words/symbols in context... excellent point. essentially, they mean nothing until we (or history) apply context. some are more offensive than others, and what's wonderful about freedom is that you can say/post anything you want.
along with freedom, however, comes responsibility. if you want to be perceived as a pompous *** (not you, josiah; I'm speaking generally here), then feel free to do so if it makes you feel better about yourself. your time will come too....unless, of course, you're a coward and you're only doing such things because you're nestled safely comfortably behind a computer screen...

On forums like these though you have the massive mix from 13yr olds to 55+ yr olds... and everything in between.
It would be insane to expect the same behavior across the board. Having actually worked in education at the highschool level - I can say that it's impressive the average level of conduct on these boards far exceeds what I've seen at the highschool level of interaction.
Not to mention various cultural gaps, diversity of race, upbringing, living, etc
It's pretty friendly all around so shut up you faggy art boy!

the word '******' has no meaning today.
back in the day, it was something that had power. used in the sentences "get back to work ******" or "hang that ******"
but now, guess what? all humans have equal rights. which means that words like "******" are nothing to get offended by, seeing as they have no meaning.
swear words are only considered swear words because the people who get offended by them insist on trying to ban them and punish those who use them. if people weren't so uptight about words such as ******, ****, ****, etc, there would be no problem.

Josiah could have put the Hitler avatar for a number of reasons. As much as people despise him for what he did. You must look at his personality BEHIND the mass murderer.
After WWI, Germany was war torn, and faced economic chrisis, and was royally ****ED over by the Treaty of Versailles .Hitler used propoganda, determination, and communicating to and with the people to gain authority LEGALLY, even though he was not associated with Germany in his past. He rose up and made Germany the modern Roman Empire out of nothing.
Josiah could have made Hitler his avatar merely to copy his determination to get what he wants ( Even if it is Horrible ).Even though we already know his reason.

And all humans DO NOT have equal rights. That is just something that the blacks and other minorities try to say because they have moved up from what they used to be 150 years ago.
Blacks always act like they have it really rough compared to other races. Last month I heard some black guy at work complain about how black history month is the shortest month of the year. At least they get a month. I never heard of any "White History Month" or anything similar to teach the history of White people.
Also I know a lot of blacks that are crooked characters. They also try to act like they are from "the hood" when they live in nice homes in good neighborhoods. Some dude I know lives in down the street and when people ask him where he lives he tells them and says it is a rough neighborhood and it is hard to survive out here. What BS. Thats what rap music and MTV does to people.

some little cotton picker was riding the bus to school(i'd say 16 or something) yesterday while i was running to the bank. he promptly rolled down the window and screamed "Hey you pasty white boy" then continued to scream racial epithets.
and i dont know if any of the members remember my old threads, but i have a nasty temper and ended up chasing the bus until it stopped at a red light and jumped up and started banging on the window asking hiom to come out, the bus driver eventually had to run 2 redlights to get away from me :thumb:

Not that I'm too offended by being called white...I just say "yeah...I'm white. You know why? I have a slight idea. It's got something to do with my not having a lot of melanin in my skin. How about that?" Coincidently, those people usually don't talk to me again. Hmmm... I need somebody who remembers their science schooling to back me up on this, but I'm pretty sure skin colour is mostly based on melanin?
Also, I don't think Jewish people would fear Hitler himself, as he is dead, but his ideas and actions cannot die. It's like comparing bacteria to a virus. Bacteria can be killed, therefore ending the disease, but viruses cannot. They must be destroyed.

That's fairly racist in itself...
Black and Jew's have had it far better then MANY races. Jewish people make up a substantial % of the rich in the world. Blacks have more rights then whites do in america, or perhaps not rights but opporunities.
Some races have been completelly wiped out, and some nearly so. Those people have it had it FAR worse as races and ethnic groups then Jews or Blacks.
Yet I haven't seen any of those races mentioned once in this thread.

Huh? There's nothing racist about what I said. And saying blacks and jews have had it far better than many other races is bull. Even if that were true, it doesn't excuse the fact that people flippantly throw around racist terms and jokes about jews and blacks. If jews make up a substantial % of the rich in the world then guess why? That's right, they work hard. But it doesn't stop the jew haters in the world. Black people have always been looked down on over the centuries from the slave trade right up to the present day. It's real easy for people to justify themselves when they haven't been through any of the crap that the blacks and jews have and still do go through. That's why racism is still rife.

... off the top of my head that is. I'm sure if researched there have been a good 20-100 races or religious sects that have been totally destroyed. Just as many with incredibly low numbers left to exist.

That's because pretty much everything you learn about regarding history is about white people. I do think the idea of black history month is unnecessary now though.
Lots of US History is about white people because white people founded this country. It took a white guy to come over here and kick the indians off the land. And it took white people to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
A little off topic though, I am hoping they pass that bill HR 4437 the "Border Protection, Antiterrorism, and Illegal Immigration Control Act of 2005." California just has too many illegals here. Every single place I've worked there have always been mexicans in the break room or whereever talking spanish. And when I need to communicate with them about work they can't even speak English good enough for me to understand anything they try to say.

what does that have to do with the way blacks were treated? who cares if "20-100" races dont exist anymore, that dosent have anything to do with they way they were treated

I am white myself, just to let it out there. Drummer 101's and Josiah's avatar didn't offend me. But that doesn't me that just because I was not personally offended by their avatars does not mean that it is or may not be offensive to other people, white or not.
Most of you may take this entire thread lightly, and judging from what people have previously said, it seems most have. But you people need to understand that there may be somone of Jewish descent in the forums who finds the Hitler avatar offensive and that what you say regarding it's racial matter may offend others.
You may say "suck it up" or "deal with it", but saying this really justs sh*ts on other people. The same people who do say "suck it up", are you Jewish? Did your great-grandparents and their parents burn to death in ovens? No. But maybe you are Jewish but don't mind Josiah's avatar at all. That doesn't mean you represent all Jewish people.

Dude you can't go around trying to please everyone you have to do what you want to do. So he has a hitler avatar. Big deal. Hitler is dead. Anyone that is scared of him is just stupid because he is not going to come back to life.
This is the kind of crap that happens when they make too much of a big deal of the holocaust in schools. It is not as big of a deal as people make it out to be.

I like you
and its probably not a "big deal" around here because I dont think there is a big population of Jewish drummers on these boards, or black drummers that would take offense to the n-word and such
and Prometheus is right, just because you dont find it offensive dosent mean that it isnt!

Josiah could have put the Hitler avatar for a number of reasons. As much as people despise him for what he did. You must look at his personality BEHIND the mass murderer.
After WWI, Germany was war torn, and faced economic chrisis, and was royally ****ED over by the Treaty of Versailles .Hitler used propoganda, determination, and communicating to and with the people to gain authority LEGALLY, even though he was not associated with Germany in his past. He rose up and made Germany the modern Roman Empire out of nothing.
Josiah could have made Hitler his avatar merely to copy his determination to get what he wants ( Even if it is Horrible ).Even though we already know his reason.
Quoted for brilliance.

I personaly think that this whole being offended over the internet by images is quite stupid. If your so offended than why don't you go to a different site?

Hitler was one of the smartest mother ****ers there was...
His ideas were completely wack but how many times have you become a leader of an entire nation? The guy was a GENIOUS! He just had the wrong idea.
No matter what he thought of anything, you can't deny that he was one of the smartest men in the history of pretty much anything.

This is one of the most immature threads I have seen in quite a while.
This part of the forum is to discuss drumming and everything associated with it. Take this non-sense to the pit. If you HAVE to know why someone has an avatar, research their email address and send them an email and ask.
Racism sucks, racist words and phrases suck.
