This is directed to the gal who said: Unless I woke up to day in Nazi
Germany - Vicky - I find this use of that term offensive and I really
think you should "rethink" what your going to say, before you say it.
Germany is a country and last time I checked, it is a FREE country at
this time. Last I knew - there was no such thing as "Nazi Germany" - If
you are or were trying to imply a "communistic" comment - then do so -
but please don't refer to my home country as "Nazi". It is unfair,
prejudicial, and a very unkind thing to say. Yes, we are all have the
freedom of speech. But let's not say offensive things just because we
have this freedom. Thank you.

[Moderator's note: I understood Vicky's comment to refer to the state
of Germany during the time the Nazi influence was strong, rather than
her implying that Germany is still a "Nazi state" today. As such, I
didn't see the need to ask her to rephrase her opinion -- I'm sorry if
the comment was offensive to some. BIG]
