Hibbyy:

Last I checked you had to be 18 to buy games like the aforementioned.  Shouldn't those be the accounts that get banned?  There's nothing that I can't stand more than a trash talking teenager or young child that's playing a game that you have to be an adult to buy.

Im not sure if the law has been changed on this front yet or not. I read somewhere that in the UK, the age recommendations on games were just that, recommendations, not strict laws.

Ive got the mag somwhere that talks about it ill try and dig it out... anyway, get back on topic :D

Is there somewhere we go to report a car that has a Nazi symbol or other vulgar material on it in some way shape or form?

you are seriousy going to turn people in for having these cars..come on get a life.....let people design what they want...if you don't like it don't buy, make, or look at it.....in this country you do not have the right not to be offended.....(can you understand that or do i need to explain?)

In this country we don't have the right to be offended?  What an idiotic response!  We have the right to be offended, and also have the right to free speech on the subject.  This is like saying that you have no right to feeling something.  I don't think, even in these days, that the government has the right to control what we feel.

If a person has the right to put a picture of something on their car, then everyone seeing it not only has the right to an opinion, be it offended or not, but also has the right to comment, be it good or bad.  Re read your Constitution and Bill of Rights.

i second that statement. please read my bio gt: TRAXMONSTA

WOW! Now you have taken that gamer's response totally out of context. One would have to think the gamer/artist would know the difference between ethical and unethical. The barbaric history behind the swastika alone should be enough to make you think its unethical.


I happen to be an African-American. I consantly hear racials being blurted about not only my race but Latins as well as Jewish and Arabians races over XBOX live.  Its simple, XBOX is littered with racist cowards (perfect example swastikas on car liveries), Its up to Microsoft to clean up the trash.



Read my bio please Gtag: TRAXMONSTA

in the eyes of muslims, the cross might be a symbol of death and destruction.

based on your screen name and the spin-off confederate flag one would suggest you support the swastika too.

I do not pay $49.99 per year to have the N-bomb dropped me by racist d-bagz
I  think the swastika is insignia of  Murder and Cowardism

the kkk also rides under the swastika (kkk extremist groups ie. 88's, warhammers, skinheads)

First off, it is impossible for an ethnic/minority group to be racist. Maybe prejudice but not racist. One has to have dominant numbers population wise. Secondly, why would you defend a symbol that has connotation to a blood thirsty psyco dictator who commited countless crimes against humanity. Although the swastika or what ever name it went by before the nazi party adopted it might have been a sign of peace and prosperity,
The general opinion is that it is a sign of hate. 

If there WAS infact any "context" involved with the swastika, the nazi party destroyed it.

It was thier paddle wheel to HE--.

ok, admittedly i was growing bored with this topic., but then i saw a person who was making very good point after very good point, say this...

 

madame apfel:

Many people thought that racism and hatred started the second world war... In fact, it was the ignorance and fear of the German and Japanese populations that caused the second world war.

 

now, i'm kind of on both sides of the fence here.

on the stronger of my feelings on this subject, as was stated on the first page i think, you do NOT have the right to NOT be offended. meaning, people don't have to step on eggshells to make sure they don't offend other people. this includes me, you, or anybody else.

 

on the other side of the coin, there is a very clear policy against advocating racism.. as was stated, the chances that a person was being altruistic and had the origional meaning in mind and was completely ignorant of it's significance in modern history are pretty close to NULL.

 

but to suggest that WWII was started because of fear of the german and jap populations is just downright incorrect. i would call it ignorant, which technically would be correct, but that might come off a bit harsher than i intend. i don't know how old you are, but it's obviously not old enough to have been around then, so maybe the history books you were taught from were incorrect. allow me to inform you.

 

http://www.historyonthenet.com/WW2/causes.htm

 

the main cause of WWII was WWI. rather, germanys displeasure with the restrictions imposed upon it following WWI in the form of the treaty of versaillis. actual war was declared on germany following germany's 1939 invasion of poland. at the point where france and britian declared war, gernamy had already invaded the Rhineland in 36, austria and parts of czech in 38. in 39 he invaded the remainder of czech and in september of 39, germany invaded poland., forcing the outbreak of WWII.

 

 in 36, germany allied with japan and italy to form a more powerful army, and this is how the axis was initiallly formed.

 

ignorance and fear? try appeasement. had the treaty of versailles been enforced in 36 at the initial invasion of the Rhineland, WWII would have ebeen averted. WWII had nothing to do with fear or ignorance of germany OR japan.

i think ppl that telll on ppl for having anything bad on there car are scum..get a life.. and get over it. just ignore it.. i have a car that i will race anyday to anyone that says athiest on it and has the symbol i will put it up i dont care.. all you ppl that tell are acting like children get a damn life..

 

thats all i have to say

that has to be one of the most absoluteley, positively ignorant statements i have heard made yet. who told you that in order to be racist, you have to be a member of the majority? anybody is capable of racism. in fact, most of the population practices racism in one form or another. when you aren't allowed to join a social group because of your race, that is racism. the only people persecuted for racism are the racial majority. I.E:, it's not uncommon, where i grew up, to be know as "white boy". the reasons i was known this were obvious. i was one of the few white males that lived and socialized in the area. everybody here views that as normal and acceptable. but reverse the roles, put a black male in a white area, and have people in that area start calling him "black boy" and see how quickly they are branded racist. i have seen the black power fist on liveries. i have seen references to the black panthers on liveries, and they were a paramilitary organization on record for acts of racism equal to those of the Klu Klux Klan, but i NEVER see anybody complain about that.

 

and the statement was "you do NOT have a right to NOT be offended". meaning, nobody has to do ANYTHING to make sure you are not offended. you have every right to be offended, but there is nothing that says if you are offended, the other people must change their actions to abide by your sense of morality. where do you people get the impression that everybody must go out of their way you make your life free from anything that might irk you, no matter the cost. THAT is ignorance.

if its on a Fighter stlye paint its a tribute to history.

 

here, i would have to agree. lets say, for instance, some painter for the idea into his head that he wanted to make a WWII themed pack. he'd use an american car, put the star and stripes on it, take a mitsubishi and paint a rising sun on it, take a british vehicle, yada yada yada all the way until he got to germany. what else is he going to put on it to keep in line with the theme? would this be offensive?

If you race a car in a lobby that I am in and if that car is against policy I will save the replay, take pics and forward it to the appropriate people to ensure that you are no longer playing this game.

If you are unable to adhere by the Xbox Live Code of Conduct and Terms of Use then you will be banned, simple as that.

Adding to that having atheist on your car is not against policy that I know of.

Back to the original discussion of this thread. it's all up to you, they give you the option to report on the person and if that's your choice then go right ahead no one can stop you. it's your personal decision. people can say all you want whether it's cool to report people or not cool to report people, but it is your decision. he simply asked if he could report and the answer is yes, you can.
