Hey now hold on for a moment!
It was just a joke and nothin more. I did not want to discriminate against someone! But if you compare someone with adolf hitler you might be a freakin idiot!!
And I didn´t say someone is a "frickin herb" or somethin like this. That would be stoofus.
If my cousin is hitler who´s yours? Saddam Hussein or Osama bin laden? Am I right when I say somethin like this to a member here? No I´m not. And you too. So stop that.

I wrote a PM to Boo and hope that he´s got no prob anymore.
If tango still says I´m Ian Hitler then he should do so. If I were an admin I would kick him out - thats what he gets when he´s writin hitler bull**** in other forums.
I´m for sure that tango even doesn´t know who hitler was, what he did and if he is still alive or not.
Saddam tango sound very well but I won´t write anythin more in this thread. He´s just a very very poor guy...

There's a big gulf between Europe and US on what's considered racist or inappropraite. We need to recognize the context before leaping to local standards and hurling flames.

So you're telling me that in Europe, saying that Asians can't see as well cuz they have small eyes isn't racist; but is actually funny? Maybe I read his statement wrong, but what else is it suppose to mean?

Hahaha, arthur, that's funny. Are you near sighted? All my friends who are near sighted use the same technique to obtain a better vision. 
Anyways, people who always feel they are being discriminated against or stereotyped, because they, themselves lack the self confidence. If you feel strong about yourself, and sure to yourself that what others said won't affect how you live, then there is really not a big issue. On the other hand, whenever someone says a joke (intentionally or not), and you feel offended; then it's not the joker, but you who got a problem.
Enuf said, anyone knows how to make the computer console in the middle of instrument panel (where it displays gear selection, and various other information) into red color (as w/ Audi's)? There should be a electrical work-around to do that; anyone have any insights?

you mean red like when a door is opened or the fixing brake is in use while you are trying to drive?
I dunno if thats easy to do. But I like the standart color more than red. Audi changed the red lights cause too many people complained about irritations.

Yeah, that kind of read. I was surprised that it turned bloody red when I drove my car w/ door opened? Personally I thought it's sharp looking.
Did audi change the instrument lighting? For the newer ones? What did they change into, the commone orange? Out of all the instrument lightings I saw, I think the VW Passat's purple light is the hardest to see (although looks refreshing). I like the Lexus, S-class's light, nice and bright, w/ the touch of flourescent.

Try coming into my world, and maybe you'll think differently. Someone who lives in a country where they are the majority can't really relate. Your psychoanalysis states the obvious, but did you ever consider that there are many situations that go beyond tolerance?

PC jackasses
Boo & Tango:
Table for two, two large glasses of shut the hell up. You two jackasses need to get over this and let it die. Anyone with intelligence can tell that Ian was joking, so stop your politically correct **** and let it go already. Here's a politically incorrect albeit true, statement for you-People with mentality such as yourselves are the reason that people who have suffered legitimate defamation have a hard time proving it.
And I DO speak for everyone here, in case you're wondering.
