Bellamy Salute?

I hate zombie Nazis

RodneyToady: Bellamy Salute?

Came here to say that the kids were just being historically accurate.

If they're gonna repeat the words a Socialist wrote, might as well let 'em salute.

They'll show them the true meaning of being a zombie Nazi

They're re-animating their dead soldiers with clocksprings and steam.

Talk about not news.

The movie was cheesy, but I love the concept.

It deserves a remake by like, Steven Spielburg or somebody.

shivashakti: "Nazi's"?

How does someone working for a school not know this is wrong???

Well... teachers at the Zombie Day school are not using their BRRRAAAINS.

Incontinent_dog_and_monkey_rodeo: Well, I guess you could say the school did...

...(takes off glasses)...

...Nazi this coming!

YEAAAAAHHHHHH!

Also: Teachers are still clueless about anything video game oriented. I quote from their concerned letter to parents:

When questioned, students shared that this is coming from their XBox game called Black Ops and possibly another game called Modern Warfare III. Our understanding is that the Nazi's are zombies in the Black Ops game

So, the kids could tell the teachers ANYTHING was from somewhere in a "game called somethingorother" and the teachers would a) believe it implicitly and b) run around in panic without bothering to check. Kids, you need to start telling your teachers about the horrible consequences of, oh, finals or grades, and say you learned it from "Saints Row the Third". Trust me, they'll never look.

You know too much you would never be allowed within 50 ft of children ; )

Enemabag Jones: Invite some GI's who were in the battle of the bulge,


Uh, why?

Inviting some Germans who were in the battle of the bulge or involved with D-day would make a different point?

Oh it would, because the Germans were all evil, I get it. :)


/no honestly, I think you're a moron.

I don't. I figure he has a point. It's been so long since WW2 that the majority of those who served are dead. Their children are in their 50's and 60's and their Grandkids know only second and third hand about the war and the atrocities which happened.

Nazi's didn't only slaughter Jews, but slaughtered their own 'defectives' -- the mentally ill, the mentally retarded, the chronically infirm and got kids to rat out their parents if the parents said anything against the Nazi order. Then, the SS showed up and 'corrected' the parents, usually by beating the shiat out of them or 'arresting' the uncooperative parent and taking them to jail, from which they often did not return.

The kids were made heroes for ratting out their families and friends. Most were in the Hitler Youth.

Hitler's main generals were sadists and rabid racists. They were known to order entire conquered cities slaughtered as an 'object' lesson. The Nazi soldier was one tough fighter, but they had no option: protest and you got shot. Don't follow orders and you got shot. Retreat because your lines were being slaughtered and you got shot.

The horrors of the Death camps are legendary. Not just for the Jews, but for any allied prisoner dumped in one. However, even if you were Catholic but looked a bit Jewish, it didn't matter where you came from. You got shoved in the extermination camps.

By the time the war was winding down, Hitler was sending kids into battle as young as 12. Poorly trained and ill equipped. He had managed to get the majority of his fighting force slaughtered or captured.

Those tales you read about the allies, taking over prison camps and finding piles of human teeth -- with gold fillings -- and huge piles of used clothing, were not lies.

Nor were they lies about women and children being marched into death camps, separated from their husbands, forced to strip and herded into a 'shower' chamber for a shower -- only to be gassed to death.

The gas they used, BTW, guaranteed a quick but painful death. Should the cleanup crews find anyone alive afterwards, they were shot on the spot.

Nazi's were rabid racists. That means you had to be basically pure, Nordic white. If you were even part Jewish, you were looked down on. If you were part Italian, Polish or Middle Eastern, you were ranked as third class citizens. If you were black, you didn't stand a chance in hell.

The Nazi's epitomized nearly everything evil and cruel in the world.
The fact that Hitler was able to persuade an ENTIRE NATION into following his insane beliefs is still pretty remarkable today, the sign of an insane genius.

No. There is no glory in imitating Nazi's, even if they look cool. Which they often did. Hitler himself looked pretty much like a quiet, somewhat shy grandfather -- but he also had members of his own family slaughtered if they were retarded or mentally ill.

Had he discovered the atomic bomb before the US did, you'd all be speaking German now and forget about anything like civil rights. Actually, forget about ANY rights. You'd not have cell phones, personal computers, iPads, Blackberry's or anything close to them because they could be used to foment sedition. The technology might exist, but it would be mainly the governments and certainly used to keep an eye on YOU.

If you didn't have white skin, blond hair, blue eyes and could trace your heritage back to Germany, you'd be a second class citizen, never able to get a good job or to climb up in the ranks. There would probably be no living Jews in the US or in Germany and any nation harboring them would be under a constant state of siege.

In the 50's and 60's we thought Communism was bad -- and it was. However, it could not hold a candle to what it would have been like to live under Nazi rule.

You oughta get down on your knees and thank your daddy or granddaddy for going to war and your momma or grandmother for working their arses off under harsh conditions to supply the troops, all to keep your lily white arse -- or black or brown or red or yellow -- having the freedoms to be an idiot without getting slaughtered for it.

IMO, some of these game makers need to start taking more responsibility for what they produce, which is designed to ONLY make them rich, since they obviously haven't learned how easily the young can be influenced.

Enemabag Jones: spawn73,

/no honestly, I think you're a moron.

Think what you want. No I don't think all Germans were evil. Some clearly let go of their moral compass. Did the guy on the mp42 in a foxhole fighting for his fatherland, was that evil, not necessarily. Not all Americans were necessarily 100% good either. Russians soldiers in WWII allegedly loved to rape.

My point was that not all war is running around shooting things and fun. I saw the kids reaction as a teaching opportunity.

Show them a guy who had been through that hell and back, slick video games don't reflect reality and war is not that fun. It is a teachable moment.

I do think too many Germans had a moral lapse during wwII, but they sure accounted for that later. Japan on the other side did not come to full terms with their past actions.

Now go around being the internet tough guy calling other people morons on a whim.

Good points, I feel the need to tell you about a friend of mine from a few years back. First of he's gay and the theatrical kind when I knew him he was doing drag. But his grandfathers both served in WW2.

One fought outside of Cain on D-day in a German panzer division, the other ended up fighting with Patton's 3rd army group in the Ardeen forest. He Even showed me the copy of the famous "weather prayer" Patton issued that his grandfather somehow saved.

Maybe it was his theatrical side and the sense of history he felt, but he became a reenactor for a while. He had a very nice uniform , I've seen it. It was he said a replica of his grandfathers unit, the German grandfather. If you know your history you'll know what German Panzer division fought at Cain.

/history is important
