Mr. Shiver Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 HahaaskhgkjahgsdfhHitler did used to say that he had a lot of respect for the Muslim-style conquest. Or something like that.I would ignore them. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiwiFruit Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Reported, FB is getting out of control. If anyone knows what bebo is, some kid got expelled from my school for creating a bad webpage about me saying all this stuff. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vvi Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 (edited) I reported it too, I really don't get how people find time to set up hate websites and groups like that. They need to get lives and go find work/study. Edited January 27, 2009 by Vvi Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capa Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 I think what they is doing is wrong, and they should meet opposition; however, I want to be democratic and I respect their freedom of speech. Not reported Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rose Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Personally, I'd give the person a bitch-slap and a lecture about humanity etc. but the second we start impeding upon freedom of speech... Well you know, that's not right either. Nor is it helpful, except perhaps on a massive scale (like the population of a country). Censorship offends me.

Vvi Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 I don't think freedom of speech should be extended to allow people to make inflammatory or racist remarks. Even in the US, the "land of the free", you can't stand up in Congress and say "I don't like Obama coz he's black". That amounts to what the people on Facebook were saying, except they were calling for the continued ethnic cleansing of one race. There's no such thing as complete freedom of speech. People have to learn self-censorship.I'm not advocating a government crackdown on opinion, but Facebook should shut down groups like that because allowing people to preach racism in such a public place is offensive to so many people, especially Holocaust survivors.

Capa Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 I think that this kind of behaviour should be prevented in the early years of a human life. Schools should be responsible to make kids humane, and people that still act like this need proffessional help. They will not get less racist by being punished.

heartworthy Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 I don't think freedom of speech should be extended to allow people to make inflammatory or racist remarks.

Facebook has the right to shut it down because they're a private company, but if this person wanted to protest that Hitler should kill the Jews as horrible as that sounds in my opinion they at least have the right to...naturally people have the right not to listen!

Haney Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 wow... i like studying about him, but considering that if he had succeeded i might be either1. dead 2. living under Japanese rule (which would not be like today considering that they would prob still be a monarchy/ whatever its called) that is pretty scary...by the way there's a fiction book about what life would be like if Germany won the war: 'the High Tower'.its an ok read if anyone wants to read it.
