More "real" SMC names please

[Robin Reeve]

Well, I hate nazi fanboys about as much as Mark.
I am mocking the SS by giving them Jewish names and not overthinking things.
I rather would see the nazi fetishists have a stroke.

And it won't be manna...

von Marwitz

Fire and brimstone would be quite biblical.

I think I solved the conundrum of naming the Baddies' SMC.

Cpl Wiesel, like holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel?

Robin, pitman will rain all sorts of things down on you when he hears about this!

Oy vey!

Kindling NA.

Didn't make that connection.

Wiesel = weasel.

Now, one could take things the wrong way, like thinking that I would have identified Jews with nazis (like the antisemites which use the notion of antizionism as an excuse to propagate their hate).
Which is ridiculous, as I have some Jewish origins and support the full right of Israel to exist (even though the situation over there is very complex).

Can you take your politics elsewhere, please.

Check post 7 there Red Rider and go around again...

It would be a sad day if shitting on the SS (whether as an organisation or individual members of that organisation) would be classed as "a political discussion".

 

[Paul M. Weir]

Dumping upon historical scum is fine, current affairs belongs in Politics. For now I will prune as I see fit, but may be forced to banish the whole thread to the politics cesspit if I have to prune too much. Banishment is easier and I am in a lazy mood.

I don't mind having my post edited by the mods.
I understand that my attempt to explain why a misinterpretation of my previous post would be nonsense could be considered as crossing a line as being a political statement.
The mods do their job the best they can.

Posts prior to my warning in post #27 (http://www.gamesquad.com/forums/index.php?threads/more-real-smc-names-please.153685/post-1987643), I left alone. While members should know that current politics should go to Politics, it's easy in the heat of the moment to forget. The odd politics snark will inevitably creep in and provided it is isolated I'm not going to pitch a fit. If it continues by the same or other posters then I will politely warn and any political post afterwards will get the "commissar" treatment, regardless of poster or whether I agree with the substance.

Sorry for belabouring the point, but I want members to understand my thinking and interpretation of existing rules and prior custom. While I personally don't care much, the likelihood is that such a thread will go to shit very quickly and aggravate other members, that I do wish to avoid.

Thank you all for your patience, I just want to be upfront about my actions.

Those are companies or keiretsu.

Yes I know. Companies that make appliances.

 

[Yuri0352]

Hitachi, Sony, Toshiba, Fujitsu... and then there are all the cars, Honda, Nissan, Daihatsu, Mitsubishi, Toyota...

(Or just go with character names from The Seven Samurai )

Samsung and Hyundai could be suitable as well for the ROK SMC'S.

Indeed.

"Datsun."

not quite .. those aren't Korean last names. Samsung is literally "Three Stars" and Hyundai is "Modern"

Do you really expect hairy round eyed barbarians like myself to either know better or worry much? ? Westerner's of my age were exposed in our childhood to the likes of Mickey Rooney (Breakfast at Tiffanys) and thought that series like "Kung Fu" were sooo authentic. I confess that for most of my life I didn't realise that family name first was the common Asiatic name convention, the opposite of Western convention.

 

[Gordon]

Wait, what?!? "Kung Fu" wasn't authentic? Next you'll be telling me that Keith Carradine isn't Chinese. It's Inconceivable.
