acooling08 Posted 28 February 2012 Posted 28 February 2012 Right, so this thread should be renamed "Holocaust pictures" yes? As for the Michael Jackson remark, he was proven innocent y'know. Innocent until proven guilty. He was acquitted... twice. Money talks, Jackson had a lot of it. Either way, MK was a pure weirdo. Not as deserving of respect as victims of disasters imo.
Austin Posted 28 February 2012 Posted 28 February 2012 Money talks, Jackson had a lot of it. Well, thanks for clearing that up. I'm sure its as simple as that. Cheers mate, pat on the back.
FuriousFox46 Posted 28 February 2012 Posted 28 February 2012 Money talks, Jackson had a lot of it. And we're walking the league. Oh wait, no. No, we're not.
The People's Hero Posted 28 February 2012 Author Posted 28 February 2012 To be fair, I think the picture can probably be described as poignant. Maybe poignant isn't the word. I mean picture which are loaded with meaning and emotion and have become really much more than just a collection or different bits of pigment

Amin Posted 28 February 2012 Posted 28 February 2012 Money talks, Jackson had a lot of it. Either way, MK was a pure weirdo. Not as deserving of respect as victims of disasters imo. Again, so what? As far as I understand this thread isn't just for disasters and death.

Keenly felt: "the sensation was most poignant in winter". That can aptly describe many things. When did this thread become a dictatorship? (Ironic considering the focal point is Nazi Germany)

(Ironic considering the focal point is Nazi Germany) I'm not sure if that was aimed at me, but I agree entirely. These things are always better anyway when the scope widens a little as more people get involved. I like a thread with a degree of organic growth and spread.
acooling08 Posted 28 February 2012 Posted 28 February 2012 And we're walking the league. Oh wait, no. No, we're not. A judge can be bribed, a jury can be bribed, a child's family can be bribed. 23 other football clubs can't.

These things are always better anyway when the scope widens a little as more people get involved. I like a thread with a degree of organic growth and spread. It was aimed at everyone really It's not like anybody here was trying to compare the loss of Michael Jackson with the execution of millions of Jews and other minorities in the Holocaust. Poignancy has a wide scope and it is entirely subjective. A judge can be bribed, a jury can be bribed, a child's family can be bribed. 23 other football clubs can't. Yep, because these high profile cases have such low security measures, don't they? Don't be such a cynic.

Captain... Posted 28 February 2012 Posted 28 February 2012 I remember being shocked when I first saw this:
acooling08 Posted 28 February 2012 Posted 28 February 2012 I remember being shocked when I first saw this: When and where was this?
Houdini Logic Posted 28 February 2012 Posted 28 February 2012 I remember being shocked when I first saw this: To be fair, take off the one about blacks and I'd happily hang that on my front door. I'd probably also add Australians and South Africans too
Raw Dykes Posted 28 February 2012 Posted 28 February 2012 When and where was this? Someone I used to work for was telling me about a sign with exactly the same wording. I'm pretty sure there was a time when that was the norm, and you'd see those signs all over the country. Strange to think that now, thankfully.
Captain... Posted 29 February 2012 Posted 29 February 2012 When and where was this? Today at my house, , seriously I believe they were common in the 50s* in England, but I wouldn't like to swear to that, I don't think that changes from the poinancy, nor the implication that Blacks and Irish are on a similar level to dogs. *Edit, on second thoughts probably earlier, maybe the 20s, I was basing the fifties estimate on an article about such signs in the US.

Similar to this sort of thing, at a restaurant in modern day Guangzhou, China. Seriously, what is their problem with dogs?
