whats wrong? lost ur sense of Humour?

[What you posted is innappropriate and an insult to all of those concentration camp survivors, POWs, civilians and the soldiers who fought to keep that crazy maniac from taking away our freedom - luv4u]

Be civilized
Don't create offensive, vulgar, obscene, threatening, abusive or excessively profane posts. Do not instigate, engage in, or encourage 'flame wars'. If you insult someone "jokingly", be prepared to have it not interpreted that way by the Moderators. A good general rule: "criticize ideas, not people." Any language which encourages conduct that would constitute a criminal offense is grounds for immediate account deletion.

Do not post racist or 'hateful' material.
This means no racist/homophobic comments, period. Discussions of racism itself in the proper forum are OK. Making hateful comments, directed at a person or group, may get your account immediately suspended. We are extremely serious about this. prince.org is not a place for racial bigotry or hateful speech.


Let's keep on topic I don't wanna see this go to P & R - luv4u

Anyone, with a sense of humor or not, should not be able to find anything funny even if only slightly related to Hilter. If you don't understand that, then for sure you know very little.

agarze said:

yeah, u better tell that to 2IZ1.

agarze said:

World Bank.

O and, God Loves every1, even Hitler.

Excellent. I think that just about Sums up my Whole experience here.

1 Day Real Love will Rain on All of You, the Kind U Dont remember yet,

then U will Know and Heaven will Be Yours.

ludwig said:

Well the main focus on the article is definitely not on having made great albums or being a great artist .

2IZ1 said:

Oh wow, so funny . That's it, I am out of M&M again after my short intermezzo here . Princebonics and Hitler jokes conbined in one thread is too much .

2IZ1: Imagine a funny joke about Oussama Ben Laden tearing a NYC fireman's asshole. Now let me just tell you that any joke about Hitler has at least 100 times that impact on most europeans. This is why some people here may indeed be loosing their sense of humour

I do have to give a shout-out to some German's throughout history...Although there are wonderful people all over the world...that have contributed to society...If you study history...U will find that Plenty of German's were ahead in most fields. Strange, but true.

Tame said:

My favorite German contribution to society, is the Christmas Tree.

Tame said:

Oh and just to clarify, Hitler was not even German originally .

Serious said:

spektakuläre alben..... sein Platz in der Musik-Geschichte ist gesichert sounds like praise to me.

ludwig said:

Yeah they acknowledged his talent as well, but they focused on his appearence and sexual lyrics and behaviour a lot more than on the music .

Prince
Sadomasochismus, Transsexualität, Inzest: Prince bricht so ziemlich alle Tabus und verwirrt die puritanische Gesellschaft. Sexuelle Schockthemen und schmutzige Phantasie begleiten seine spektakulären Alben. Seinen sexplosiven Funk präsentiert Prince auf der Bühne im knappen Slip, in Damenstrümpfen und Rüschenhemd. In seiner kreativen Potenz verbindet er Rock, Funk und Soul und wird zu einer Erscheinungen in der Popmusik. Ob er nun „The Symbol“oder „The Artist Formaly Known As Prince“heißt – sein Platz in der Musik-Geschichte ist gesichert. Jetzt wird der Prince der Popmusik 50 Jahre alt – „Tracks“ sagt „Happy Birthday“!

Translated -

Prince

Sadomasochism, Transexuality, Incest, Prince seems to break all the taboos and thereby confuses the puritanical society. Sexual shock themes and dirty fantasies accompany his spectacular albums. His present his explosive Funk dressed in a slip, nylons and ruffle shirt. With his creative potency he combines Rock, Funk and Soul to become an appearance in Pop music. Whether he calls himself or "The Artist Formerly known as Prince" his place in the history of music is assured. Now Prince is turning 50 years old - "Tracks" says "Happy Birthday"


and for the record, I'm half German and jokes using that fucker Hitler and his salute are not funny, period! You can dis him all you want but to make light of any situation using ANY of his symbology makes you look like a dick! There is nothing funny about what he did, ever! I also have an awesome sense of humor and there is still nothing funny about Hitler except that that fucker is dead.

It's a French-German hybrid culture channel maybe comparable BRAVO in the US (but pre 21st century when it was strictly music and art...no reality shows).

It's a joint venture between both Germany and France, simulcast in both languages with shared headquarters in both countries, started in the 80's. They have KILLER music documentaries and the more I think about it, I think their film schedule more closely resembles the kind of things you would see on the US Sundance Channel. Great channel, I wonder if it's available by US satelite tv?

My Grandmother is German and She was there when Hitler Raised Germany out of the Poverty it found itself In because other people were Stealing Jobs and Depleting the Economy...

I Guess it all Depends on How Far Back in History U Want to Go, especially if U consider that Jews were the 1st People on the Earth to Enslave Blacks.

Personally, I find that People all Over the World do the Most Terrible things to each other, Regardless of what Race they are, or even what Religion.

I Sat Under a Tree One Day and asked God ( Me ) a Question, "Why Is Life So Hard?"

"Because God Chastises Those Whom She Loves the Most" .

My German Grandparents, were not Jewish, and during that time they were fortunate to escape the circumstances...They arrived in America, and continued on with their skills as baker's. When my Grandfather died...My Grandmother's good friend from Germany, looked after her and my Aunts and Uncles...Max was a Bee keeper. when I was a child, I put my hands inside of the hive with no stings, and learned how to remove honey from the combs.

That's a very offensive statement towards the millions of victims of the Hitler regime. Yeah people suddenly had work because they had to prepare for his war, what a great way to give people hope .
