They were not Nazi-style death camps

Uh-DUH.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 29 July 2004 01:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, if you have to have "not a Nazi death camp" as a defense, your case is probably pretty poor.

I read this as "In Defense of the Internet".

Sadly, so did I, but I got to get my prescirption changed.

don't hate me cuz I'm blind! new glasses cost $$$

― AaronHz (AaronHz), Thursday, 29 July 2004 02:22 (twenty-two years ago)

No hate here, bro. I swear, I looked at this title a half a dozen times this evening and everytime it was i-n-t-e-r-n-e-t. Did one of the mods change it?

The Internet: Not a Nazi-Style Death Camp.

― spittle (spittle), Thursday, 29 July 2004 03:24 (twenty-two years ago)

(does the phrase "nazi-style death camp" imply there are other, more acceptable forms of death camps? "death camp" seems like the kind of phrase that shouldn't need a modifier...)

― spittle (spittle), Thursday, 29 July 2004 03:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Russian-style death camps were a little more boisterous, free vodka etc.

― Allyzay Science Explosion (allyzay), Thursday, 29 July 2004 03:26 (twenty-two years ago)

I think "nazi" is the buzz-word in there. They're just trying to distance internment camps from the "bad dudes" in retarded people's eyes.

Everything you've been taught about the World War II "internment camps" in America is wrong: - They were not created primarily because of racism or wartime hysteria
- They did not target only those of Japanese descent
- They were not Nazi-style death camps

raise your hand if you were taught that wwii internment camps in america were nazi-style death camps.

Is it bad that "nazi-style" sounds humorous to me? Akin to "texas-style" or as if it's denoting some type of dance craze or something. Just maybe "style" isn't the best word to use there is all I'm saying.

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Thursday, 29 July 2004 03:33 (twenty-two years ago)

it's bad english, but i don't think it sounds funny.

― amateur!st (amateurist), Thursday, 29 July 2004 03:38 (twenty-two years ago)

wow, roxy, you just prompted so many awful awful awful jokes in my head.

― Allyzay Science Explosion (allyzay), Thursday, 29 July 2004 03:57 (twenty-two years ago)

I must be cracking up because today I thought I saw not only Michelle Malkin but also Ann Coulter. In real life. Coulter actually wouldn't be surprising, because I have reason to believe she lives in my neighborhood. I blatantly cut her off on the sidewalk.

Almost makes me want to talk to the old guy for whom I'm working.

Michelle Malkin on Scarborough Country, 8/9/2004:

"Well, I think they are being too timid. And I think they have bent over backwards, contrary to what you'll here from the ACLU and all these grievance-mongers. They've bent over backwards to be sensitive. ... And then there's, if the Bush administration wants to do one single concrete thing, it could get rid of Norm Mineta, who embodies this problem. He is somebody who experienced the evacuation during World War II. He was evacuated to a camp in Heart Mountain, Wyoming. And it has clouded, it has absolutely clouded his view of what needs to be done now."

Good god.

I love the euphemism "evacuated". Sounds so much more benign than "sent to an internment camp," y'know?

They did not target only those of Japanese descent

Well, gee, that certainly makes it all better.

― Huck, Wednesday, 11 August 2004 05:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Ann Coulter has met her Maria Sharapova

― Gear! (Gear!), Wednesday, 11 August 2004 05:48 (twenty-two years ago)

The old Japanese man for whom the Dreaded Rear Admiral works consistently uses "evacuated" in place of "interned."

― Mr. Tony Plow (Leee), Wednesday, 11 August 2004 20:44 (twenty-two years ago)

By God we cannot sit back and just watch people with actual experience of American history spout off. Only those with the right spin should have the privilege. What does she mean by 'get rid of'?

― Michael White (Hereward), Wednesday, 11 August 2004 20:47 (twenty-two years ago)

I'll take a indefinite stay in Cuba over a mass grave in Poland any day!!!

― sexyDancer, Wednesday, 11 August 2004 20:48 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't think she means Mineta should be killed or anything. She probably just thinks he should be put somewhere safe for his own good.
