Nazi Salute.

As I mentioned before, lots of nazis in the US are into organized crime: identity theft, credit card fraud, drug dealing, gun running, murder and mayhem.

This should be renamed the A.D.D Politically Fuelled Arguments Thread

Exactly. What makes them criminals is not their stupid ideas. What makes them criminals is their actions. And probably because they have a criminal type of mind they like nazism.

True Teo, ideas and even words are not crimes, we agree on this.

Overall, there is probably a difference in our life experiences on this matter. I've been a political activist since I was a teenager, I've dealt with this first hand, I have friends who have risked their lives doing undercover ciminal investigations, there is a real danger there, but you can't know it until you go there.

Actually that was probably what kept it alive.

They didn't last long, needless to say the cops didn't bother to arrest them, due process comes quickly around here.

Does this above post work OK for you Mr Triceratopsoil. Its pretty simple and too the point, no confusing sarcasm or irony.

Nazis didn't attack people (whether they were Police or not) in the street though, John.  The Sturm Abteilung did for a bit in the 1930s but they supposedly had good reason to.  However, Hitler didn't like their thuggery and had Ernst Rohm and others shot.  Then he formed the SS who even though not nice people by any means, were supposedly not as brutal and thuggish.

So lumping them in with the KKK, Skinheads and Aryan Brotherhood isn't exactly fair, even if all of these were somewhat influenced by them.

Your attempts at sarcasm and irony aren't confusing.  My comparison stems from your diction and syntax.Not to mention having four posts in a row saying practically the same thing via sentence fragments.

OK, guilty as charged, the internet seems to encourage sloppy grammar, I will try to be more scholarly since this is an important subject, and I am not being sarcastic either.

I think it's time for another German aeronautical wonder from World War Two.

This beaut  is the Heinkel He 219 Eagle Owl. Not only the first purpose built night fighter but the first aircraft to be equipped with ejection seats. It was also equipped with an advanced high resolution airborne intercept radar that enabled it to track multiple targets once guided into allied bomber streams by ground controllers. Other innovations included armour protection for the two man crew and a tricycle landing gear. It was nonetheless difficult to manafacture due to it's complexity and encountered problems with it's Daimler Benz engines that precluded it from being produced in signifigant numbers ( less than 300 ). However, when it did manage to enter the fray it proved to be a deadly proposition with it's 30 mm & 20 MM cannons. Occasionally it was outfitted with  an upward firing "Schrage Musik " istallation that allowed the Germans to fire upward out of the bombers line of sight.

Yet another German design that was decades ahead of it's time. Some of the innovations that I've mentioned  were incorporated into modern warplanes such as the F-14 Tomcat  and A-10 Thunderbolt. Only one remains in the hands of the Smithsonian Institute in the US where only the fuselage is on public display.

Why is there so much fascination with things Nazi?

No.
