I suppose the context is key. In Europe it's a well known symbol. A lot of neonazis will show it. If you're not familiar with the idea, it's difficult to imagine the meaning behind 88. It's not as if you think about HH the entire goddamn time.
Oh, great, another moron.
Have you even read my post, MORON?
:rofl2:
I made a joke, your reacted strongly about something I was already familiar with, and then I extended a point that was on topic - at least for the moment. Apparently it was misinterpreted, because your response seems to indicate that I was attributing general behavior, or certain ideas to you; I wasn't.
I said that I am familiar with the history of 88; one doesn't have to be in Europe to understand that there is a strong history in Europe (and to a lesser extent, elsewhere) surrounding this number.
I live in a country of predominantly European immigrants, many of whom came to Canada to escape persecution. If you think that I've never met Jews who were strongly affected by the holocaust, or neonazism, then you're ridiculously fucking wrong; my last roommate for instance. Anyway, I understand the sensitivities, but it gets to the point where some linkages, in certain context, are fairly weak; that's what I'm saying here.
By the way, I said, "For the record, I'm not saying that you, or anyone else here was contending that Melo is a racist."
My point was simply that I didn't think any linkages in this matter/thread were necessary, or appropriate.
Also, I was not saying that you were suggesting that players choose numbers, based upon racist motives. I was simply expounding upon my belief that conspiracy theory linkages like this are overkill, and ridiculous. I was not trying to intimate what your personal beliefs on these subjects are, one way or another.
Ahh, the master at play... always looking for a confrontation, from the safety of his own computer and an internet connection. Why don't you go create another retarded self serving 'list-thread', bash some peaceful muslim forum members, or play in traffic, you attention whore.
Gotta love fucking bigots who have a completely off the charts valuation of their own self worth.
