There's no way of stopping the fancy dress culture of dressing up as a national stereotype. Even Prince Harry went to a part in an SS officer's uniform.

I love how you consider an SS uniform a national stereotype.

It is stylish.

That wasn't the university. That was the students union, or guild, or whatever.

Same thing though .... some official board with power .. who fo the most part probably would feel right at home wearing SS uniforms

Well that was poorly worded on my part.

That takes it a little far, and you know it. Political correctness =/= Nazism.

Universities are supposed to be bastions of free speech and expression ... that is less and less the case day by day.

Funny you should mention that. Our oldest and most prestigious university (which yours truly graduated, of course ) is currently being "occupied" by students who refuse to let anyone in and won't have classes until the government resigns. I've mentioned before that there are anti-government demonstrations here and today its their... let me check... about 140th day. More universities have been joining, along with professors. I'm proud of these guys.

It's not funny.

Really?

 

[Perun]

Really?

Of course it is, don't you worry.

 

[Ariana]

No, it's not, don't confuse her any further.

In terms of free speech .. it is not really all that far off .. say something we deem wrong and there will be some form of punishment

 

[Perun]

No, it's not.

You're not viewing this objectively.

There's a difference between minor academic sanctions and deportation to Dachau.

Yes. Many people on the internet often erroneously accuse those in authority of Nazism or Communism.

Look who's changing the subject...

Eh...

That's it. Self-deport yourself to Dachau.
