^You're right...

I think we need a Miss Lizard competition with the contestants all holding iguanas, chameleons or geckos. Makes much more sense and doesn't mean the contestants are cold blooded!

If he had real talent, we would be viewing his art in a museum and commenting, “It’s a Hitler, you can feel the rage..”


Well his art is worth millions now (how ironic!) there is actually a certain lightness to painting, particularly his mother Mary and baby jesus....

The fact that (some) people pay that kind of money for it has nothing to do with the quality of the paintings, they are pretty bad in my opinion, mediocre if you want to be generous.

Well, this is a little embarrassing, for the Amerikans. :mrgreen:

Quote:
In establishing a restrictive entry system for Germany in 1925, Hitler wrote of his admiration for America's immigration laws: "The American Union categorically refuses the immigration of physically unhealthy elements, and simply excludes the immigration of certain races."[48]

German praise for America's institutional racism, previously found in Hitler's Mein Kampf, was continuous throughout the early 1930s, and Nazi lawyers were advocates of the use of American models.[49] Race-based U.S. citizenship and anti-miscegenation laws directly inspired the Nazis' two principal Nuremberg racial laws https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_supremacy

He was better than I ever was.
Does that mean I should have conquered all of Australasia by now?
What an opportunity lost. <sigh> :mrgreen:

The swastika in her flag appears to be facing the opposite direction of what it should be. Nazis were "SS" her flag is "ZZ"


I think the image was flipped by some media outlets - dunno why. She definitely owned a Nazi flag , there are other photo's

Interesting, if I saw them in an art gallery i wouldn't know better but then I don't have really have discerning taste when it comes to distinguishing a 30 million dollar work of art from a baby crawling with paint on a canvass :lol:

There's a tiny place called Swastika in Canada (obviously from when it wasn't a symbol associated with Hitler's crowd):
