Should we consider adding the word 'NAZI' to our list of banned words also?

[browntrout]

do you mean the opposite of what you've said?

[emmie]

the word shouldn't be banned,

it's been a long day.

Moving away from the question (my apologies anotheoldgit).

Swastika - An ancient and worldwide symbol, a Greek cross with arms bent at a right angle, emblematic of the sun, good luck, anti-semitism or Nazism. What's in a word? but I dare anyone to use a swastika as their avatar.

[emmie]

you wouldn't because of it's association with the Nazi party

[anotheoldgit]

Yes it would seem that this lady thinks certain words should be 'banned' well at least excluded from computer generated passwords.

/I would think that it is very difficult, seeing that the Israelis do not have Death Camps and have not systematically slaughtered millions of Palestinians. /
They seem do be doing a pretty thorough job though..

[emmie]

So what are they going to do with the holocaust memorials if 'Naziism' vanishes?

"So it is unlawful then since one breaks the law in one way or other by shouting it out in a certain way?" Don't understand what you mean by that, AOG. " A certain way" and "in one way or other" are not what makes abuse illegal. Some way or other, or in a certain way, may be perfectly legal

AOG, the mental element is what distinguishes most crimes from acts which are not criminal. That is so elementary that it should not need stating. From making wrong entries in account books, to threats to kill, to demanding money with menaces,to setting fire to a building, none are crimes without some necessary mental element. That may be intent, dishonesty, recklessness as to the consequences or some other.

And yelling the N word. or any other abusive term, is no different.
