I thought it'd be a dumb kid on a school tour.

Nope

Earlier the Polish press agency PAP reported that the tourist is a 38-year-old Irish man who scratched his name onto a wall after he saw other names written on the wall.

"The fuck?"

Do you mean What the fuck?

I'd rather a little blackly-humoured punnery over your transatlantic-drift grammar any day of the week.

They weren't very nice people though. They killed millions of Jews and tried to take over Europe.

Just report them let the Mods deal with them!

I can't believe he was 38! I visited when I was 18, on a drink fuelled inter-railing holiday. We were silent the place just felt awful (still worth a visit). The whole atmosphere of the place 'demanded' respect.

I had to look up what that meant. I thought maybe the people kept in the camp had scratched their names on the wall. It turns out though that writing your name there is a popular tourist activity. I did a Google search and found a few blogs by people talking about how shocked they were to see graffiti all over a wall.

Some people are fucking weird. It kind of reminds me of the gobshites that write their names on Jim Morrisons grave because they're such massive 'fans'.

Goes to show that a lot of men don't grow up... They just get bigger.

This has got nothing to do with gender and everything to do with upbringing. It's the type of behaviour I would expect from the underclass.

Ah let's not get ahead of ourselves, they weren't that original or funny. I am not offended nor do I give a cr*p if eegits want to make jokes out of a pretty serious historical event but sure whatever keeps you amused.

I think you have to visit one of these camps to acknowledge how horribly disrespectful someone doing this is.

Germans take this **** very seriously

Getting what he deserves horrible thing to do, it's a really heartbreaking place to go.

To be fair, what he did, while grossly insensitive, is hardly "historical".

Ok so are you offended or not? Do you give a crap or not?

I believe they are making jokes about the Irish person who defaced the wall at Auschwitz.

He thinks it's disrespectful but isn't personally offended by it, nor does he give a crap about it.

The words were right there in the post you quoted.

What he done wasn't a personal insult to me so no I am not offended. There is a difference between pointing out how disrespectful his actions have been than letting it offend me.

I anticipate it will offend many though and hopefully the punishment will fit the crime.

I certainly amn't offended by silly pun jokes about the Holocaust by little boys on there lap top! Just find it childish, cheap and humourless!

I think you need to acknowledge what the word offence means!

If he thought it was ok to scratch his name onto the wall because it was covered with other names, wait till he reads about their choice in tattoos.

The guy is a grade A tit for vandalising Auschwitz and derserves what he gets but the outrage at the posts on page one is a bit much.

I didn't realise it was an all or nothing affair. Jokes on a forum does not equal support for what he did.

How do you mean? Such actions inside the camps are taken very seriously by the authorities. It won't be a slap on the wrist he gets.

You said "nor do I give a cr*p if eegits want to make jokes".

Clearly you do give a crap.

I don't think any subject is beyond humour. Especially in AH.

I laughed out loud at Post #2. Should I get therapy?

Auschwitz is in Poland. Hard to see how the German authorities can do anything.

I spent five years in Trinity. Check out the graffiti in the Arts Block toilets and come back to me.

I don't................. read and analyse my post before you speak. Stop reading into what you want for me to be saying!

As I said I don't care if these eegits want to make such jokes, but that doesn't halt me from having an opinion about the "jokes" themselves.

It isn't that confusing!

You're correct - they should as they built the concentration camps.

Yer man who left his name above is probably in the good company of other similar eejits there.
Doesn't excuse his behaviour either way ...
