'Nutshell" huh... that fits
You know why we need government? We fail to govern oursleves. Here's how, in a perfect world this should have gone down:
"Hey Zemeke, Your squad name makes some of us a little unconfortable, you think maybe you could look at changing it please?" This to be followed by a polite explaination of why it offends.
Zemeke:
"Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to offend, I'll see what I can do. Thank you for bringing that to my atention."
(then Zemeke, wanting to find acceptance and friendship in his new hobby would try to find a name that didn't make him a target and trigger 125+ message arguments)
See, that simple! just people governing themselves. But instead we have a perfect example of why we need big opressive governments. It's all about responsability people. Does Zemeke have the right to name his squad Waffen SS? Of course, and I'll gladly lay down my life to preserve that right. But even more important than that right, is the resopnsability of Zemeke to, in the excerise of his right, not be hurtful toward his fellow members of society.
'Cause that's how those rights go away.
This isn't about his rights of free speech, or the Confederate Battle Ensign (the flag of a forgien country when you think about it. so I guess it shouldn't have been flown over a state capital. BTW, that is the only valid arguement for it's removal in my opinion.) or the Waffen SS, or their actons. It all boils down to one person's selfish attitude of not respecting the feelings of his fellows.
