1) RE: Safety Nazi
How about Safety Dictator? It seems all people of all nations have had
one in their history, it is close to meaning the same thing and that way
we don't have to pick on Germans, Hitler, or that party he founded.
(Let's see what was their name... it started with a N) Everyone can be
equally P.O.ed.

I agree.

Just don't refer to my Texas bones as yankee, I heard it over and over

"Nope. I was born in Fort Wuth."

Sorry John, I lived two years in Germany, that party does not exist. I
died with its' leaders at the end of WWII and is currently outlawed.

And you don't know who might be German. 99.99% of native Germans would
be highly offended at the term. On the other hand most German Jews would
fail to understand why you would call them that. Would you call an
American Indian a Wop? (By the way, what is a Wop? A Spanard or an
Italian?)

This man has the correct answer, give him a trophy for his class. If you
call me a nazi (here in the USA) I would expect that you think me to be
ruthless and domineering. The "Party" is dead, see #5.

Another correct answer - meaningless slang.

Errr... no. I think I'll try, notice I said try, using the term Safety
Nazi. Just so I can tell who is on Team.Net and who's not.
