Obviously, it was cheaper back then.

or indeed the concept of humour
what does "arbeit macht frei" mean?
( Tom O'Bedlam Fuck Boom Rapist, Fri 27 Jun 2008, 10:27, archived)

Is it work sets you free?
I don't know if that's right.

work makes (you) free
I think.

They were a band in the 80s,
whose hits included "Keeping the Dream Alive". Or so I am told.

Freiheight I think they were called.
The game will never be o o over because we're keeping the dream alive. :D

"arbeit macht frei" means "work clears"
Not sure why, as it was the gates of Auschwitz - weird

eh?

I think he's moved from the literal translation to the intended message.

( gronkpan , a friend, Fri 27 Jun 2008, 10:35, archived)

maybe it was aimed at the german workers
who were probably doing that job for a reason.
( gronkpan , a friend, Fri 27 Jun 2008, 10:33, archived)

I'm not entirely convinced either
there must have been less on that list

Zak McFlimby, what do you mean?
It's a road sign, of sorts!

nope
AND it's too big

You're fucking hilarious.
No, really. Are you trying to commit really cheap suicide by just being offensive to as wide a group of people as possible?

I might just be being over-sensitive, but fuck it. I prefer me to you.

i was also in somewhat of a quandry as to whether to hit my goodbye button
i think on balance it might be as well.

i shall bid the lord farewell.

Understandable.

Oh "god save the queen", how will I sleep at night, now knowing you've blocked me?

I was about 10 when I visited a concentration camp..
Our German friends insisted that we went.

No birds were singing..there was just a chilled silence.

The only noise was from an old ladies dog that refused to enter past the gates..It sat and howled as she tried to drag it in.
(TheRiddler Is doing the hand jive, Fri 27 Jun 2008, 10:48, archived)

I've been there too
One thing they don't mention, is that it was knocked down after the war, and then only rebuilt for tourist profit!

Weird one, eh?
( Darklord, Fri 27 Jun 2008, 10:54, archived)

No it wasn't aushvitz..I cant even fucking say it..
There wasn't just one concentration camp matey !

They still had the gas chambers with the fingernail scratch marks.. and the ovens where they used to cook small children alive and burn all the dead bodies.

This place hadn't been touched. There were still the gun towers up and everything. Its actually made the hairs on my neck stand up just thinking about it.

Its a terrible vile disgusting thing that happened.. but.. this is b3ta.. and as black as it is, your humour should not be castigated.. IMO.

Thanks Riddler
It wasn't done to shock or offend.

As I said on the image below, being PC is like the new Fascism
( Darklord, Fri 27 Jun 2008, 11:16, archived)

np. ;)
The way I see it, before I even log on, I prepare myself for all sorts of stuff.

Like I said, this is b3ta.

And there are many shades of humour. Some things I find funny, others I don't..it just seems strange that people who know what this site is like can get the hump about stuff.

Thing is.. as soon as it disappears off the main page, it will be forgotten about :)
