Heil Harry!

I honestly don't understand what all the fucking fuss is about. So what if a 20 year old kid can't exercise "good and proper" judgment? I know that I'm 7 years older than this punk and I'm far from being "socially polished". I lack tact and class from time to time, but who doesn't? Granted, you would think that someone in that position would be a little more advanced in the workings of what is and isn't socially acceptable, but give the kid a fucking break already. So he's a fucktard. So he offended a few (million) people. Will an official apology and a visit to Auschwitz change anything? Doubtful. We'll hear in a little while how he was "incredibly moved" and "now realizes the error of his insensitive gesture". So what? Will it change anything? Will it make him a more compassionate, understanding, and sensitive individual? More importantly, will it honor, or even bring back from the grave even 1 of the six-million plus that were thoughtlessly slain? Of course not. If I were someone who was offended by this, I would consider a quick visit to one of the sites where the atrocities took place and a knee-jerk apology to be patronizing. To me it would be better to let it go than to have to listen to his upcoming diatribe on insensitivity and ignorance, but then again, I wasn't someone directly affected by his actions.

Step down off of your soapboxes, spend a moment reflecting on the blunders of your youth for a second. Can you think of anything you may have done that wasn't THE best reflection of your character? Most of you can, including myself. The difference being that none of us had someone there snapping pictures to preserve the moment (hopefully).

The kid wasn't right, in fact his action(s) was/were reprehensible. The kid fucked up, pardon the pun, royally. But we're making a much bigger deal out of this than needs to be.
