I know someone who may be interested in the sleds.

Just to clarify, they are MkIIs and mot MkIIas, right?

Re: For Sale Empeg stuff in the U.S. - 03/01/2006 20:23

What's the difference? I can't remember. I believe they (at least the uninstalled one) has the rolled edges?

MkII has the knob, but is branded empeg. MkIIa also has the knob, but is branded Rio. There are other real differences, but that's the most obvious.

I asked for offers to be pm'd. If response is still lacking, I'll have to scarifice the stuff to the gods of ePay!
Funny how the bag has had the most interest...hmmm.

Yes Rob, they are both branded Rio. In fact I just picked up one not too long ago from a member here. My third unit is sitting on my desk, in peices,a product of inept repair, the fourth has beenin the hands from Rob S. for a year now...I told him to take his time, and it is a rather tough repair job. I pesonally think it is toast.

I like negative attention. Nothing against you but I really don't care if you like it or not...I don't have to explain myself to anyone....I hope you can understand.

Ah yeah. We had someone else here a while back who liked the same thing.

Personally, I think the picture is hilarious. I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt: Just because it's a photograph of a person who has become an icon for everything evil in this world doesn't necessarily mean that YOU are evil or that you agree with his philosophy. It's no different than South Park showing cartoons about Satan and Saddam Hussein.

Just keep in mind that this BBS is a close-knit group and that we've had previous bad experiences with certain specific antisocial members. So we're a little bit twitchy about that kind of thing.

I think it’s a good picture of him (Tim Conway, right). Most of the pictures I've seen of him make him look like a preschool teacher, all sweetness and nice.

I did like the posts of the other antisocial, too bad he went too far.

That's fine. I don't care that you're an attention whore. A lot of people are more brave and outspoken online then in the 'real world' I'm sure that somehow this makes you feel bigger and more important.

Who am I to take that away from you?

Re: For Sale Empeg stuff in the U.S. - 05/01/2006 15:37

Jeez you're taking this a bit far aren't you. Ok so the guy has Hitler for an avatar so what? He did exist you know. Nobody complained when d33zy had Saddam. Infact if I remember correctly he was encouraged.

Personally found it quite funny but maybe thats just me.

If you're offended then turn off avatars in your bbs options.

Re: For Sale Empeg stuff in the U.S. - 05/01/2006 16:56

Oh I'm not offended, it would take far more than that. I just think it's childish, stupid and really obvious. Just voicing my opinion.
Posted by: CrackersMcCheese

Re: For Sale Empeg stuff in the U.S. - 05/01/2006 17:05

Your entitled to your opinion but even if it is childish and stupid it doesn't make him a bad person. He's probably loving the discussion its generating though

Re: For Sale Empeg stuff in the U.S. - 05/01/2006 17:13

Well, as a Jew, I was offended. But that is just me. Read some of his previous posts...such as the one with 'hail satan'...
For him, the bag is 1000.00 and the tuner is 1000.00. Anyone else, pm me with an offer.
End of day, it's off to ebay!

Re: For Sale Empeg stuff in the U.S. - 05/01/2006 17:15

and with you being Jewish I can understand. But for someone (like me) who wasn't hugely affected (if at all) by him it doesn't stir any emotions in me.

Hitler didn't just go after Jews, but even if he did, how is that not something to be offended by.

Hitler offends me. Some jackass trying to get attention is just some jackass that won't take up any of my time.

Funny? You guys are easily amused. Hitler in a prom dress is a least a little funny.

Re: For Sale Empeg stuff in the U.S. - 06/01/2006 18:02

Hitler doesn't offend me. Photos of him don't offend me. People talking about him doesn't offend me. Jokes involving Hitler don't offend me. Why should it offend me? Can you explain to me why I should be offended? I don't think you mean 'offended' though. People get too upset about such little things. If he was born 5 thousand years ago you'd not be bothered.

Someone who is Jewish and maybe lost a relative as a direct result of Hitler I can understand why they may be offended. Thats fine.

Perhaps funny was the wrong word. He may be a jackass but he's done nothing to annoy me and when I first saw the avatar I was thinking it was some ironic statement. If he came on here though and started to spout evil then that would be different.

There was an episode of Father Ted aired that featured Ted with a Hitler moustache making gestures to Asian villagers. It also featured swastikas and other such stuff. Pic of Ted is here. Now would that offend you? If so I think you're too thin-skinned.

If you want to discuss it further then post on off-topic or pm me. We've hijacked the thread enough!

Everything you said except for that first sentence make sense. But if I have to explain what's offensive about the man Hilter (as opposed to just the mere mentioning of him or pictures of him), then I'm not sure that a discussion in off topic would go anywhere.

Brad all I can say is that people must have to walk on eggshells around you! I still think, however, that you are confusing 'offended' with something else. Some guy with an avatar will never offend me! Theres more to life.

I clearly said that "Hitler the man" was offensive, not some guy using a picture of him. Big difference.

Wow! You people have WAY to much time on your hands! As far as being childish the symbology is what I am most interested in. The fact that it generated this much attention just adds to my reason for putting it there...that something so simple can evoke such a monkey brained knee jerk reaction! And as far as you being Jewish don't take it to heart...I just like rubbing people the wrong way...you're not that special...stop thinking you are. But thanks for being judgemental and jacking the price of the bag and tuner up...good times!

Holy Batshit Batman!!!

I have to weigh in with my 1.9 cents after my long absence!

Was Hitler a peice of shit? Yea. Are the jackasses that promote his agendas? Yea. Homie, here for making a provoking statement with his choice of avatars? No.

I think the point he was making or at least exploiting is that we are entirely too politically correct now. There comes a point where we get ridiculous with it. Is a little boy who draws a battle in school a Nazi for putting a swaztica on the "bad guys"? Of course not but blind fear and knee jerk reactions aren't a nod towards history. Could this happen again? Of course it could--that's why we study history so that we don't make the same mistakes. (That and it's a long way to Europe to bail the world out... sorry I couldn't resist)

A Hitler avatar is at worst, poor taste here. This is a group of highly intelligent people, not a bunch of inbred rednecks talking about bringing that shit back.

Since I love playing Devil's Advocate... He could claim the first amendment, but on a privately owned BBS that doesn't really apply.

Soon I discovered that this whole rock thing was true.
Jerry Lee Lewis was the devil
Jesus was an architect previous to his career as a prophet...
I found myself in love with the world
So all I could do was
Ding a ding dang my lang long ling long!!!

StaHi

PS... I saw Amittyville recently. The new one. I refused to watch it. Anything with houses and ghosts scares the shit out of me. So finally I got the movie and holy crap! I haven't been able to go around little kids with bullet holes in their heads since!

Perhaps we have become too PC lately, but in the case of Hitler I think that the distaste for his name and image is not new and certainly deserves to last another fifty or hundred years.
When was the last time you met an 'Adolph' or saw a man with a narrow moustache? The two seem to be universally unacceptable- nay, reviled.
Having said that, I predict that 'bad boys' will be wearing Hitler facial styles within a decade; fashion being as stupid as it is.
(Such is my lack of faith in man- it begins with an avatar)

I appreciate the member's change of avatar. I agree that he's probably dabbling in poor taste (to say the least) for shock value.
I believe that negative reactions to his indescretions are well founded and appropriate.

One journalist friend told me of an interview he had with a Hitler Manila.

Mr Manila, who does not share the Nazi ideology, told him that he was always remembered for his name but it sometimes caused problems.

One time, when he was shooting pool with some visiting Germans, the atmosphere became tense after he wrote his name on the blackboard to reserve the next game.
