"Second Life does not allow Nazi iconography as it broadly offensive."

What on earth are you talking about? You seem to have popped up to say that not everyone who displays Nazi iconography for the purpose of "free speech advocacy" is naive, in response to one of my interpretations of the motives of those who do. Yet you say you don't want to display it yourself, and don't offer any further defence when I make an argument that yes, it is either naive or racist. Well, fine, I suppose.


Again, you should go back and read what I wrote. I was not writing about whether or not I personally would display it - I don't know how many more times I have to write that. Instead I was defending the rights of others to do so, for whatever reason. I don't think the right of freedom of expression should, in general, be limited because of content - but then, Second Life is not in general; it is a world controlled by a corporation.

I will say this: if Second Life is going to ban Nazi symbolism, they should ban Confederate symbolism, and other forms of symbolism found offensive by a large segment of the population. They should either make a general policy in regards to offensive content, or they should not ban anything - they shouldn't target one specific type of content.

Perhaps, in that case, if you wish to make a point replying to other points, you should read what those latter points are actually replying to.

Yes, maybe they should ban lots of different sorts of symbols if they're going to ban any.

This rubbish about "I know more genocides than you" is just abusive flak; I bet a million L$ that you don't.




If this was in response to my post then you missed the point. Which was expected. Point is no one would furrow a brow if their was an images or icons in game to other mass murders or genocides due to ignorance. This is one of those feel good *im doing the right thing by hating the nazi icons, instead of hating their actions becuase im a moron an a sheep* arguments Nazis are an easy target it doesnt take much to know what they did was bad its in every history book in every country in every language. Doesnt mean images an flags or icons are evil.

its kind of like saying guns are evil becuase millions die to bullet wounds. Fact is people are evil. Not the tools they use to commit violence or the images they use to propagandize.

and one more thing Im sure this will bunch some panties as well but being Jewish is not a race its a religion. Im Catholic but its not my race its my religion.
People who live in Israel are Israeli not Jewish. The Jews killed in the 2nd world war were of German , Polish, Russian, french decent for the most part.
anytime you want to compare notes on history son start a thread.

Being Jewish is not a race? Please explain to me what it is and why the Nazis killed 6 million people because of their religion.

While you are at it please explain why a Christian can convert to something like the Muslim faith and not change their race while a Jew converting to the Christain faith is still a Jew.

Oh, and by the way, I don't expect a response since there is not a logical one possible.
