We're here to have fun, play some games. There are probably a bananaillion more adequate places for testing the boundaries of the Holocaust.

So I'll leave BMW alone and move on to something more directly applicable. What if my Sig shows a picture of a mushroom cloud and says "American ingenuity...ending wars one big boom at a time"
I imagine that would offend people of Japanese decent. (I have a Japanese friend with this on a shirt. It pisses his parents off to no end). Would that get me in trouble? Or is it okay because it "saved lives" and wasn't Nazis doing it?

It was a bet concerning whether or not every sport in the world was invented at McGill University, which, of course, they all were.

mpjh you have a picture of what appears to be an outhouse as your avatar. My family is from rural Appalachia and frankly I find your avatar offensive to my people. To whom should I file my complaint?
Okay that one's reaching but it makes a point. At some point in time/history/culture anything and everything could be said to offend some group. Why does it seem that conquer club has a special soft spot for the holocaust? Admittedly it was a horrible horrible thing, but aren't there other horrible horrible things out there? Yet I see the nazi/holocaust thing over and over on these threads.
how about we just have the person with the offensive sig/avatar and the complainer duke it out in 15 random games with the winner getting to either keep the sig/avatar or have it removed?

Trying to equate the poison gas used to kill millions of Jews, communists, homosexuals, Romani, and others thought undesirable by the Nazi with an simple rat exterminator or an outhouse near a nuclear site is repugnant. CC should not allow this on its site. It is a product of bigoted attitudes expressing hurtful and outrageous statements solely for the purpose of upsetting a specific group of survivors and families of survivors.

I'm all for pushing the boundaries (I think that is what life is all about)---in appropriate, or perhaps better termed, adequate venues. I don't think Conquer Club serves as an adequate vehicle for any dramatic change when it comes to culture, outside of "gaming" culture.
