Rise of extremism in our Primary Schools..

    As some of you may have read in another thread, I am a full time Nazi hunter. Truth be told, work is a but scarce at the moment. however, I was told of children in my GFs primary school are doing the Nazi salute and saying 'Heil Hitler'.

    As you can imagine, this puts me in an awkward position. How do I deal with these mini nazis? Is this a new phase the kids are going through?

    P.S This story is true (except the Nazi hunter thing). The kid tells me that everyone is doing it.

    The Crips and the Bloods in my primary school will not like this development.

    What's the context of them doing that though? because if there's any truth to this, then I'd say it's just something they don't understand but might do because they know it gets a rise out of the grownups. Kids can be little ****s like that

    Sounds like just a phase the kids are going through, kids used to do the same in my primary school class.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,514 ✭✭✭✭VinLieger


    Think of the children etc

    Well the rise of Nazism started with those Hitler Youth haircuts. The Forth Reich is imminent.

    Introduce Stalinism to offset it.

    I didn't get the entire story behind it. Something about lebensraum and wiping the dirty races off the playground. :/

    Last I heard those same kids were rounding up all the cartoons of Squeeze and Fruice, and taking them into the schoolyard to be jumped on and squished.








    Persecution of the juice...

    Are these kids in Third Class or the Third Reich?

    Eh? Eh?

    I remember back in my days at school, you'd sometimes find a Swastika drawn under the table or on a wall somewhere. I would have loved to see the student(s) who did them get caught red handed by a teacher, and then see the look on his/her face.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,193 ✭✭✭✭jimgoose


    I think it's high time primary schools introduced metal detectors, Garda Armed Response units and Ladybird books explaining in simple terms what happened to the man who grew a silly moustache and began European Armageddon. Meantime, Armageddon outta here before the Children of The Corn arrive. <SLAM>


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,630 ✭✭✭folan


    kids have been doing that since my day. they grow the **** up. kids do any **** if it gets them noticed.

    Its a religious symbol that was adopted by the nazi party. You can get luck symbols with it on them in India. I think its flipped/inverted on those ones.

    A cousin of mine enrolled his child in one of these Gaelscoil that have become popular. The school was originally set-up by some dreadlocked crusty with a passion for regaling anyone who'd listen about the joys of dying for your country and about the evils of the Brits. While he has toned down the rhetoric, my cousin is now concerned about the type of education his nipper is receiving. Most of the teachers were out canvassing for the local SF candidate in the last council election, and he believes it’s only a matter of time before little Jack comes home proclaiming his undying passion for the poetry of Bobby Sands, and asking his Dad why he doesn’t have a beard like Gerry Adams.

    Nah it was just some troublemakers thinking they were cool and rebellious by putting up some graffiti. Nothing to do with religion.

    OP, wait until they find out how the war concluded in their history class. They'll be very disappointed

    Yeah little Adam and Derek practice the eastern faiths. The little dreadlocked tykes are handy when you want your aura replenished too.

    Somebody in my school got in trouble for naming his 5-a-side football team the Ku Klux Klan. He didn't know what it was but thought the name sounded funny

    Soon Hitler will rise from the dead with his army of SS Nazi zombies to save us from the bankers and Jewry.

    The swastika symbol is thousands of years old. I've seen it in Japan, Taiwan, South Korea & Bali.

    It's also extremely widespread in Mongolia. People have the symbol on the bonnet of their car. When I saw it initially I presumed it was to intimidate the Japs and South Koreans who were buying up the land around UB. That was before I became aware of its religious connotations.

    Common enough, I'd say. Sure, my father has one on the bonnet of his car as well.

    The correct word is "Japanese" but yes, it's over there, too.

    He strikes me as one of those "PC gone mad" types who miss the days when you could call foreigners "pakis" or any ethnic food "chinkies."

    I'm presuming it was a genuine mistake. Some people aren't aware that it's an offensive term.

    Anyway, not wishing to derail. Back to the swastikas! :)

    Absolutely not. I genuinely wasn't aware that the word Jap was offensive. Especially as I shared a house with a Japanese guy when I was in college and used it all the time, i.e. "you drank my last 6 pack of beer you sneaky Jap bastard".

    I'd never use those awful racial slurs. And I'm slightly offended about your suggestion that I'm some sort of Irish version of Jeremy Clarkson. No need for it.

    :confused:

    They made a balls of the previous three Reichs, the fourth one has to be spot on.

    To which the correct response is of course "Yes, I drink your pissy beer you ridiculous, ignorant, smelly Gai-Jin! And you can take a running furk! Emperor never surrender!!" :D

    Nah, that word is used in a motoring context all the time, no harm is meant. It is at worst laziness. Jap cars, Jap imports, soft, wooly Jap autoboxes, Jap bullet-connectors, etc.
    ...I'm some sort of Irish version of Jeremy Clarkson. No need for it.
    Quite so. That would be me.

    http://www.japan-talk.com/jt/new/is-the-word-Jap-derogatory

    The word Jap is generally considered derogatory in the UK. Britain is home to the largest Japanese community in Europe who consider the term offensive.

    The Japanese Embassy in London went after a London newspaper for using the term in 2011. The following statement came from the embassy at that time:
    Most Japanese people find the word Jap offensive, irrespective of the circumstances in which it is used.
