In light of the posts on my flist about a song mocking/insulting the Asia Tsunami victims, I did some thinking, and have decided to say something. Some people may be upset by this, and it may not sound very good to my new friends in particular, but I just feel I have to say it.

In yesterday's chat, some friends were talking about the BoP video and commented, jokingly, that Fuji is a Nazi because in the video he wears a green, slightly military looking top.

I said at the time that I didn't get the joke. The truth is, I don't think it's something that can be joked about. There are things in life that should not be joked about. The Nazis, the Tsunami, the Tienanmen Massacre, the Nanjing Massacre, and the other tragedies caused by the evils of humanity or by nature.

I wouldn't say I was offended, but I was shocked back there in the chat.

I am still blank about anyone having the gall to make fun of a disaster like that. There are no words. I wonder if those people thought it was funny that the WTC fell, too. And if not, what kind of hypocrites are they?

Very much agree with you on the Nazi issue, too. There are people on my flist who are proudly calling themselves grammer-Nazis. After making numerous attempts to tell people that this is very much wrong, I just gave up and go on thinking that they make themselves look like complete idiots. How anyone can proudly proclaim themselves (or Fuji?!?!) to be a (whatever-)Nazi will forever stay beyond my comprehension.

Hmpf, yet another Freudian slip. Blame it on the time. Spelling & Grammar Nazis, of course. Night, now.

I agree completely.
