Urm...you've served as well, so you know that will not be his choice.

. I want to puke every time I hear the word holocaust, uttered by these creatures for they are surely not humans...
Gods chosen? This god must be a big asshole, for his chosen are nothing short of a festering pile of cr*p.

It's music. It's art. It's expression.
Sometimes people express themselves in ways we may find odd or inappropriate, personally.
This is pretty tame compared to what you can hear in many forms of American music.
Yes. But they got a f***ing PRICE for it. On live tv. In front of a large crowd of heavy media-influencers.
There is no way this is justified, at least no way we can understand this.
BTW: several (at least two at this moment) other winners of Echo awards 2018 gave them back already.

You get my point though, I was a matelot, and taught to use an SA80 (nothing more health n safety risky than a sailor with a firearm lol), but I never expected to fire one in conflict. If I had to though, the choice would have been out of my hands...orders n all.
On-topic, orders n all ended up with people being gassed, and it will always be that way.
You seen the videos of Israeli soldiers laughing about sniping unarmed people over the border? Pretty bad, but no surprise. Your chain of command will allow you to dehumanise 'the enemy'.

I personally am sick and tired of having the Shoa pushed down our throats...
Time to get on with the future and stop being called anti semetic whenever pro people find an excuse to whinge and whine...
The FUTURE.... stop ramming the past down our throats...

I don't care what awards they have or have not won. The point remains that provocative content is nothing new in music/theater/arts and we should not be surprised or outraged about it anymore.

Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it though.
Sorry that history ruins your happy fun times.

My point is LOOK TOWARDS THE FUTURE and LESS of the « sniff sniff look at how we were treated » discourse that happened over 70 years ago...
Time to yomp on for the future and stop being the victims all the time.

Massively agree
I've travelled around Cambodia, been to the killing fields, and yes it is chilling to think what people did to each other in recent times. But, Cambodians don't go banging on about it like they are still victims, they are positive and forward looking.
Jews on the other hand, you'd think they were a majority population in the UK the way they go on about the Nazi genocide and various remembrance stuff on TV every year. 270,000 Jews in the UK, out of a total population of 66 million.
No British people gassed them back in the day, just Germans and Austrians, so why the # should we have to remember their genocide any more than Rwanda, Bosnia, and Cambodia. It's a Jewish collective memory and if they want to wail and cry, good luck. I personally don't see their genocide as anymore important than all the other genocides since then.
I DON'T NEED A LESSON FROM HISTORY THAT GASSING PEOPLE IS WRONG. NO RATIONAL PERSON DOES.

What happens when someone has an album titled "Muhammed was a goat #er" with a nice drawing on the cover? The Muslims are one way when it comes to free speech. They can say what they want as "free speech" but no one dare insult Islam, the religion of peace, lest they be killed.
The cult of Islam is a stain on the world.
