A lot of bad elements got their hooks into parts of the gaming community a decade or so ago, and as a result there can be some real arses about. If there's one thing the gaming community can pass on to others, it's not to go soft on that nonsense. Stamp it out fast. <br /><br />We have a fair bit of WWII/military recreation going on round here, and even reenactors doing the Axis powers make me a little uneasy. But to be dressed in that stuff normally... that's utterly twisted. My grandfather helped at Belsen after the British liberated it - he was an army pathologist. I grew up knowing what that poisonous ideology led to.Mimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578612522819952936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-83022139934226185832021-02-22T17:56:28.256-08:002021-02-22T17:56:28.256-08:00@Bibi

We went to a few big gun shows to sell his rare and antique pieces. I was shocked at the Boise, Idaho show at the number of assholes walking around in full Nazi regalia. Needless to say we left in disgust after about 2hours and began the long drive back to Oregon where my parents then lived. That was in the early 90s, I can’t imagine what it’s like there now.Bibi Maizoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07383381158640915162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-37628279467392244142021-02-15T12:40:54.534-08:002021-02-15T12:40:54.534-08:00@Ann

I don't regret punching her though.<br /><br />@Senora Allnut<br />I'm all in favour of using the tools at your disposal-be it a bag, a cane, or a stick-pin. By the time a woman has to reach into her bag for something like pepper spray, it is likely too late-better to just use the bag. <br /><br />@Emily<br />Whenever I see the little nazi fucks or their white supremacist wannabes, I'm tempted to yell after them, "You'll never be one of THEM Rolf" but I've never done it. <br /><br />@Beate<br />It is so surprising because Germany had strong laws in place to try and prevent them from ever gaining another following. I know you can't wipe out 2000 years of learned hatred by eliminating one dangerous group willing to act on their hate, but it is disappointing. <br /><br />@Beth<br />I've probably watched too many movies but I'm getting an image of Marlon Brando in The Wild One getting his ass kicked by your dad.<br /><br />@Gail<br />Ugh, I'm sorry you had Maga idiots doing their thing in your town. I don't like confrontation generally but...yeah, it is hard to just keep walking sometimes. <br /><br />@Thrifty Parka<br />Thank you. I suppose it is best that I didn't give myself a criminal record over someone like that but I also have little hope he's become a better person. People like that seem to be almost un-teachable no matter what sort of karma the universe throws at them. <br />Goodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17383404429461423998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-38717803131801585762021-02-15T11:48:18.645-08:002021-02-15T11:48:18.645-08:00Punching Barbara was the right and only thing to d...Punching Barbara was the right and only thing to do. My grandson had an incident with a so called friend of his who put his hands in grandson's pocket and took out his money. Grandson, the least violent child I've ever known, socked him one. I believe this child had been bullying grandson (he wouldn't tell us) prior to this; and that put an end to it.<br /><br />I find it hard believe anyone could be so brazen about their fascist views but although you might regret not attacking him with your handbag I sincerely hope someone has given him what he deserved!<br />xxxVronni's Style Meanderingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17122302881528071270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-81264156863941730032021-02-15T08:48:49.918-08:002021-02-15T08:48:49.918-08:00Oh Goody, it's hard to restrain those impulses...Oh Goody, it's hard to restrain those impulses, isn't it? It's probably better that you didn't punch that misguided obnoxious fellow. You might have damaged your beautiful handbag! Rest assured that he likely got stranded on a dark highway with no help in sight. Hopefully he also reflects on his actions and learns from them.<br /><br />Self-reflection is good.

I am usually trying to sort out the source of my uneasy feelings and thoughts. Between winter and Covid there is a lot of time to think. <br /><br /> It certainly would be satisfying to whack that Neo Nazis at Cheese Castle with a great big hard vintage handbag. My husband and I had to restrain our selves from confronting the MAGA circus like rally held every Sunday at the round-about , in our little town , before the election. I was never one to pay that much attention to war history but our local Public TV has had very enlightening and distrubing documentaries on the rise of the Nazis and aftermath. <br />The capitol riot only reinforced in my mind how fragile empathy, peace and stability are. You did more good with your volunteering at the polls than you would have making a scene at Cheese Castle. <br /><br />But keep on carryng those hand bags. Gail From, Pa.

Mama believed people treated you as you treated them; Papa knew they would do whatever they thought they could get away with.<br /><br />When I was wee, our Cheese Castle was an amusement park that offered pony rides and boats in a pond. It had a skating rink for teens, an ancient wooden structure sited near the gates. The times they were a'changin -- and gangs of thugs had begun lurking there to make vulgar remarks and gestures to the mamas. I have a vivid memory of Papa pushing us aside, then picking up a thug by his collar and pants and hurling him into the wall of the skating rink. THUMP. <br /><br />Another daddy stepped up, remarked that Papa must be a sailor (he was a Merchant Marine) 'cause he "threw men, not punches," and stood there grinning while he "made his selection." The way to the exit was soon cleared as other war-veteran daddies arrived. We kids were astounded that a) our daddies could fight and b) our mommies did not object to the violence. <br /><br />As you point out, Goody, sometimes people who deliberately set out to occupy others' spaces deserve a smack upside the head. Looking back, I realize that that was the beginning of the end for that park, that neighborhood, that section of the city. Wish I'd kicked a foul-mouthed thug while I could still run...<br /><br />Beth Waltzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02720634636307254576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-51135390146945829602021-02-14T00:31:11.446-08:002021-02-14T00:31:11.446-08:00if i would carry such a handbag - i would be very ...if i would carry such a handbag - i would be very tempted too.....<br />but the bad thing is: they are to many here. the german justice was totally blind on the right eye for a very long time and the "normal" people are on the side of the nazis if asked. at least outside of the big cities.<br />in the last few years the bombed a house of a lokal politician and killed another in his garden and last year one single nazi tried to get into the synagoge of halle during a ceremony - he had several guns but the oak door did withstand so he killed to bypassers....... not to mention the burned cars of activists for a united europe or the killed immigrants. <br />in the army barracks nazi shrines were found and police officers are engaged in nazi chats. <br /><br />well done punching barbara - some people do not understand an other language.<br />stay sane and safe! xxxxxbahnwärterinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02032478343344432338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-83227135409880461822021-02-13T12:26:35.933-08:002021-02-13T12:26:35.933-08:00You had such fond memories of the Cheese Castle th...You had such fond memories of the Cheese Castle that it hurts me to think that some guy ruined the sanctity of your "happy place" that day.<br /><br />Whenever I watch "The Sound of Music," I feel like Liesl should've punched Rolf for alerting the Nazis to her family's hiding place in the dimly lit cemetery at the convent. And I sometimes wondered, if she happened to run into him twenty or thirty years later, would she have had the pleasure of punching him then? Or would he have grown old enough and wise enough to see the error of his Nazi youth? <br />Emilynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-11528059200027316852021-02-13T11:56:09.938-08:002021-02-13T11:56:09.938-08:00I'm not a violent person, and a physical cowar...I'm not a violent person, and a physical coward most of the time. But totally understand your regret. It's difficult to contain the rage sometimes and sometimes it doesn't worth it. You've really enthralled me with your plan to use the surprise and your heavy bag (wow, I've had this kind of thoughts myself!)<br />Actually, I'm in favour of punching any bully, even if adults tell children not to do it. So well done on punching Barbara. <br />besosSeñora Allnuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01403540346998939207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-7516310762164899062021-02-13T08:23:19.940-08:002021-02-13T08:23:19.940-08:00Very recognizable!

Although I'm trying to turn a blind eye to the most winceable stuff, sometimes a trip down memory lane goes off on a tangent and I find myself shuddering with embarrassment. <br />Good on you for punching Barbara, and I'm hearing on your regret not to have punched that nazi sh*t at the Cheese Castle! xxxPolyester Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05602613792584925087noreply@blogger.com
