for your anti-sematic home game...

And I thought I'd seen it all...

Re: for your anti-sematic home game...
 

It's anti-semitic (not to be a pedant).

FWIW the swastika symbol predates the rise of nazism. It's been around in various cultures (I believe originally from the Indian) as a sign of good luck. Most of the old chips you see like that are from the late 20s/early 30s and actually don't have anything to do with nazism, though you'll see some unscrupulous persons claim they do. That said I wouldn't own a set since the symbol is now tainted.

Re: for your anti-sematic home game...
 

I know. Everything you said is accurate.

I just thought it was good for a grin.

Dear tool:

It wasn't. For your next joke why don't you head over to OOT and nominate Schindler's List in the "Best Comedy Movie of the last 30 years" thread. You suck. Ban yourself.

No. I wasn't referring to you. I was referring to Jersey Nick's reply.

For a while, the swastika was associated with the Boys Scouts, pre WW-II

Yea It's had a lot of meanings over the years, we all know the most famous one.

I just thought it was strange to see it on a poker chip like that.

Hey dude

Why don't you take the gerbil out of your ass and lighten the [censored] up. No one with half a brain would be offended by the connotation of this post.

Have a wonderful day

Re: for your anti-sematic home game...
 

The description says they predate the Nazi movement. The sad thing is, these chips are probably really nice, and would make someone a nice collection. However, they are going to end up on some neo-nazi assholes poker table where he can tell the rest of his skin head friends that they were used at some concentration camp. What a shame.

Dear PG,
On previous occasions I’ve proven that I’m no brain surgeon. However, as a person with friends and family who were Holocaust victims and survivors, I can assure you that Nazi humor is almost never funny. Your post did absolutely nothing for the forum and was not funny. I’m sorry I let your bad attempt at humor bother me.
P.S. the gerbil said to say “thanks”.

Hey Mason,

Is that an ASSGOBLIN in your avatar?

PG

Re: for your anti-sematic home game...
 

Yeah, a very upset one.

What happened to the pic of the goblin mask?

Re: for your anti-sematic home game...
 

I got bored with it... seemed like more of an OOT thing than anything.

I like your avatar. Is that the original size or has it been reduced? If the original is bigger could you tell me where I can save one (pic) for my collection. It's kinda hard to make out the 5th suit on the Ace.

I think you're mistaking this POKER FORUM for a pity-seeking forum for poor innocent holocast witnessing Jews. STFU already.

You know, King Striker (CanucksPoker), I used to think you were just an annoying troll wtih a big ego who had a bad temper and a lot of stupid ideas. Now I know that you are in fact, a piece of human garbage.

That would be why I said "almost". Hyperbole from Mel Brooks is completely acceptable. Springtime for Hitler is hilarious.

Goblin,

You and I are slowly finding out that many fellow 2+2ers lack any real sense of humor. They get their kicks from pointing out spelling errors and bashing politcally incorrect statements. It's a real shame. That being said, guys like you and I are the exception and I thought the whole Nazi chip thing was pretty goddamn funny. Don't let these cynical f*****s get you down.

Re: for your anti-sematic home game...
 

There is no suit on the 5th ace. Its basically a black blob.

Re: for your anti-sematic home game...
 

Tea Bagger,

You a regular hiding behind a fassad (sp?) or are you new?

Nonetheless I appreciate the comments. I just found swastikas on poker chips (nice poker chips at that) to be funny. I understand the connotation wasn't of anti-sematic implications. While I can see where it might offend a small % of people, I really didn't think this thread would get this much attention.

Cheers Man

I'm jewish and I'm not offended. I don't think he meant any slur by it. I probably should be offended but I'm not as I don't think any kind of intolerance was intended.

John Bush said it best when he said "I don't intend to offend, I just offend with my intent."

You have no obligation to be offended just because you're Jewish. People can be offended because they think they're supposed to be, or they can try to see things for what they really are. If everything that on the surface appeared to be intolerant, we'd have no Archie Bunkers, no Al Bundys, no George Jeffersons, no Dave Chappelles... We'd all be forced to sit in our bedrooms all day with a blanket over our heads listening to Yanni on our IPODS just so somebody doesn't do something to piss someone else off.

Just for the record, Yanni pisses me off. He's a Kenny G clone and he needs to die [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I am glad you are open minded enough to have a sense of humor about things.

I'm done with this rant. My blood pressure is way too high for this early in the morning.
