Yes, it sucks, but no more than calling it "nazi". The day "Absolute
OpenBSD 2nd Edition" kills millions of Jews, Gypsies, and retarded
people, while invading Poland and rocketing London, it will earn the
epithet "nazi". Until then, using that epithet simply dilutes what the
real nazis did.

But yes, equating kiddie porn with Eastern Europe is subcontent wide
character assassination, and is wrong.
