| On the topic of whether the Hitler figure "should" have been in the exhibit, the statement by a museum spokesman I read in an article the day before the exhibit opened seems reasonable, that it's hardly possible to talk about German history in the last century and remain utterly silent about the 3rd Reich. Acknowledging that someone lived doesn't mean equate to endorsing his beliefs. |
Well said. |

I have to say, that as a non-German, I find it all quite hilarious. Not sure what you would hope to acheive my chopping up a wax figure. But then again, when someone lopped the head off old Maggie (a statue of Thatcher) half a dozen years ago, I recall being absolutely delighted! 
My 3-year- old son deliberately and defiantly pulled out his tail and pissed all over the carpet a few days ago, while fixing me with a dare-you-to-stop-me glare. Some kind of statement it seemed. Perhaps he is far-leftist in the making!?!  |

[quote="Big_Bird"]I have no problem with this sort of protest. As long as no people or animals are harmed, to me it's fairly acceptable.
While I have no problem with wax figures getting the chop, I would hate for anyone to decapitate these cute little Hitler look-a-like: Kitler and Kitler2/quote]
I'm going to complain to the moderators: showing pictures of cute kitties with der fuhrer 'staches is, I believe, an example of hate speech and as such violates the TOS of this site.
Reasonable people have a right to feel protected against such filth. Fie on you. Hmmmph. |

| Maybe some punk shoulda taken his head off seventy years ago. Seems pretty pointless now. |
