Sorry GS, I chose that word because I am lacking the vocabulary.
Article title says: 3,000 neo-Nazis march in Dresden.

yup
i'd rather have them be allowed to march and spout their bull**** than have my government attempt to ban their party. They've got a right to voice their totally shrecked up opinions just as everyone else has.
Banning and censoring both are way more dangerous to a democracy than these guys will ever be. The only thing the feeble attempts to get rid of the symptom of having these guys be allowed to assemble freely will achieve is a growing public attention towards them that's both undeserved and unnecessary.

From Scholzie:
"The Nazis will always march, and they should always be allowed to do so. Let them show everybody what pathetic morons they are, and de-mystify the little "cult" thing they've got going."
Hmm, I have a problem with this, for so many people just don't see it.
So, bomb them while they're at it :D

For the purpose of historical accuracy, this thread should develop into a massive flamewar.
I will start:
You all suck.

One time in Geography class I studied Europe. Professor used to carry a flounder gig to class to intimidate would be disruptors I suppose. For those of you who don't know what a flounder gig is, it is a stick about three feet long with a spike at the end.
He started up with the Dresden bombing, talking like it was the greatest atrocity ever done in war. And of course Britain and the US were the bad guys. This professor's opinion was not part of the class btw. I was a non traditional student in my 30s and spoke up and interjected the Nazies had cottage industries manufacturing small arms in houses, specifically the P-38 pistol. He said that was not a good enough reason to bomb Dresden. I let him know in no uncertain terms I didn't appreciate his anti American opinion. He woulda stuck me with that gig if the conversation had continued. But he gave me an A so he wasn't upset much. The gig was all about intimidation for the youngsters I guess.
I remember one thing about that class, a beautiful Russian girl from the Honduras was in the seat next to me. We did pretty well in that class, all things considered. The professor was practically letting us compare notes during exams because she was smart too, and darn good looking, but she said nothing about Dresden. I don't think it mattered, everyone moved on just looking at her after that. In a gentlemanly fashion mind you.
About 6 months later, information surfaced in the news that rocket parts were being manufactured and assembled in those houses. For the V2 rocket. That information was 50 years old and never revealed before 1990.

I once had a beautiful Honduran girl from Russia, but she didn't hold a candle to the Estonian girl from Madagascar I once knew.

Haha, I was thinking that too.

Ramsey, just take my word for it mate. I remember hearing it announced on the TV one time, and haven't heard of it since. Evidently it was top secret information. That's what the news man said.
