Make all of your little jokes you want to, but to other people this is a deeply sensitive matter. You are deliberately minimizing their anguish by doing what you are doing. You are literally laughing at their feelings about this. I'm personally appalled. So at how much number of kills you draw the line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he is all against what happened in that period and what that Adolf did 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how the name Adidas came about. I did not know that at least this topic is for me to learn something😊 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, you'd think he would be just a tad more sensitive wouldn't you. Instead we get jokes and lessons on why we shouldn't feel the way we do.

It's not about the numbers, it's about the significance of the connotation associated with this name in particular. I would think that you of all people would be a bit more sensitive to feelings of others with respect to this name. The first name of none of those murderous regimes hold any comparison to the name Adolf, with maybe the exception of Mao, but there is not someone here named Mao. Either way, I'm quite disappointed with your stance here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you are belittling the issue of choosing Adolf as a name for entertainment purposes knowing how offensive it is to many people. It's probably the most offensive name you could come up with yet you keep on saying that it's just a name. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amy3 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 You guys can make all the jokes you want to. Ha ha ha! Funnny! But what you are doing is laughing at the anguish of other people who are genuinely offended by this name. VHTV didn't have to allow this, but they did so shame on VHTV, AlexLina, this guy, and all of you who are purposely belittling the pain and aguish of other people who have strong feelings about this. You should be ashamed of yourself. As I recall you didn't he same thing over the American flag rug too. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
