It's curious that the US, who suffered the least in WW2 (hence their economic power) are the ones with the greatest hang-ups - is this with the percentage of Jewish immigrants?

There was a show in the 80's in Britain called Allo Allo, presumably along the lines of Hogan's Heroes (not having seen HH, I wouldn't know for sure). Basically it was a skit on national stereotypes - the sexy French waitress, the fat bumbling German officer, etc. Where it also scored was its portrayal of the English - 2 thick toffee-nosed pilots and a pair of SOE spies (one female and competent, one an accident-prone guy who can't speak the language properly). No American characters, so presumably it'll never get shown over there.

Incidentally, there's the old debating rule that the first person to compare the other side to the Nazis automatically loses. I have to say, I'd not use the phrase myself, not bcos of any hang-ups about insulting Holocaust victims, but bcos the phrase is inherently meaningless - if I want to slate someone's views, I can think of better ways to do it.

Oh, and a BTW - the phrase "gun Nazi" isn't entirely incorrect in many cases...

Grab.
