cheesemonster2005 Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin's_law To save anyone else the time having to look it up! Mightily interesting although I didn't bother to read this reply and had to search the net first. Why are there so many geek terms for things we wouldn't normally need a word for? Is it because the quality of posts is so low that we have to find something else to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amadeus Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 p.s a 1000 appoliges to any german readers for Mentioning the N word ahh..I'm not offended by that. What really pisses me off is, that the swastika in above picture is: a: Of poor quality and b: the wrong way round! As we can clearly see from this picture: And on a bigger scale, on this picture of the US Navy Base in San Diego: If you really have to use this symbol as a reference to (in your opinion) third Reich-like behaviour, then do it right! The drawn version further up is the Buddhist sign called "omote manji", representing love and mercy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manxchatterbox Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 "They include controls on weapons and imitation firearms, extending police powers to arrest without warrant, and to disperse groups of just two people or more in certain circumstances". What the hell is this all about??? Who decided on groups of just two people??? and what "certain circumstances" (like I suppose if you were hard at IT) ??? or what do they mean ??? when do they put in to have cctv installed in every room in everyone's house ???

The Old Git Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Why are there so many geek terms for things we wouldn't normally need a word for?

Yes they are related and both symbols have the same roots possibly in Hindu culture.
