I got into a slight argument with a co-worker today. He kept referring to the other guy I work with as a Nazi, and Hitler. I'm a very opinionated person of course...this guy he's calling a Nazi is from Germany. Calling someone from Germany a Nazi evertime you get mad at them is just wrong. I told him it seemed racist, or just harsh unnecessary stereotyping. He started getting mad, telling me he's not a racist and blah. I didn't mean for what I said to come out as if I was calling him a racist, but it did. It's not racist, but it's the next best thing. I consider this German guy a really good friend - it pisses me off when people call him a Nazi everytime they talk about him. That's the worsetthing you can call a German person; don't call him a Nazi...don't call him Hitler. Then I started getting pissed off because he didn't see anything wrong with calling this German guy a Nazi. I don't get that. I'll call someone a hippy, that's ok - but I would never call someone (especially a German) a NAzi! We kind of apoligized afterwards, but you know me. I didn't say anything to him all that night because I didn't want to make things worse. The only thing I could think about is how fucked up it is for him to say that, so naturally if I talked to him I would bring it up again; which would make things suck for both of us. He sensed me distancing myself. When I clocked out, he apoligized once again. I'll get over it. It just takes me a while to get over things I hate about people.
Also...Finding Nemo is kicking my ass. Those kids are so damn messy. ¶1:27 AM e-mail me (0) comments (0) commentsBack To Blog top September 2002 / October 2002 / November 2002 / December 2002 / January 2003 / February 2003 / March 2003 / April 2003 / May 2003 / June 2003 / July 2003 / August 2003 / September 2003 / October 2003 / November 2003 / December 2003 / January 2004 / February 2004 / March 2004 / April 2004 / May 2004 / June 2004 / July 2004 / August 2004 / September 2004 / October 2004 / November 2004 / December 2004 / January 2005 / February 2005 / March 2005 / April 2005 / May 2005 / June 2005 / July 2005 / August 2005 / September 2005 / October 2005 / November 2005 / December 2005 / January 2006 / February 2006 / March 2006 / April 2006 / May 2006 / August 2006 / October 2006 / December 2006 / April 2007 / August 2007 / September 2007 / November 2007 / January 2008 / February 2008 / March 2008 / April 2008 /
