Previously on "Why should my MP worry about retrospective taxation on avoiders?"
It is not a funny thing, not something that can be laughed about.
So you get all uppity about someone posting hitler smileys because you don't want onlookers seeing it. And then you decide to post a picture of holocaust victims in an open grave.
When on holiday in Austria the taxi driver suggested we visit the hitler museum in Bavaria - his summer home or something.
I was surprised there was a museum to him. On the other hand should he be forgotten? Particularly with the way Europe is heading now.
My wife and I honeymooned in Austria. The only thing I am surprised about, is that there weren't any Hitler statues about. They seemed strangely proud of him...
I think you'll struggle to find evidence that I often tell people how to live their lives. I simply speak my opinion, exactly like you do. So I guess you're constantly preaching too.
You seem to have a bit of a bee in your bonnet about Hitler.

I don't believe you can reason your way to morality.
no you reason your way to efficacy.
Law has nothing to do with morality. Society's needs drive law making. The needs may not be obvious and are frequently intertwined with religion or public observance of morality. But in a good society they are based on Society's needs.
That is why taking multiple wives is allowed in a warring society with a high casualty rate or where the law makers wish to spread their genes was permitted - something we see as almost barbaric now.
Marrying your brother's widow (before benefits existed).
Coveting your neighbours wife/ ass is frowned upon.
As is eating Pork (a common cause of illness in early times).
If for instance society discovered a major plague that would wipe out the human race. The only way to avoid it was to be ravished by a corpulent red headed Glaswegian and a shire horse whilst dressed as Goebbels in a public place, smoking a bible and eating a Koran wrapped bacon cheeseburger. I'm pretty sure the law would change quickly, if only to preserve the elite.
If CUK deem it a suitable icon for the site, you should really take it up with them. But merely out of courtesy, rather than because I agree with you (I overcame the urge to post a whole page full of 'em )
I haven't preached about anything, I stated an opinion. A bit like you did above.
Saying a cute nazi smilie is like laughing about the holocaust is like say that using the smilie is the same as posting a hi-res image of a man jerking off. I don't have such a picture though and Robby is banned.
I assume you have never taken part in any jokes about the Jimmy Saville case... and obviously I'll be keeping an eagle eye on your smilie usage.
But as I said - if you're offended by a nazi smilie you have the obvious choices:
a)block the image... why not if you think it's wrong on the site?
b)petition admin that it's inappropriate
c)piss off
I'm not the one with a Hitler sig.

You work from home, some of us have to work for places where multiple little tiny animated Hitlers waving nazi flags looks decidedly dodgy and will impact.
A sense of perspective and context need be applied.
I cannot force you to make the right decision, I only ask and question your decision to place that as your sig.
