Tell that to Golden Dawn. And the Russian Parliament. Just because few people in polite society admit to Nazi-esque leanings doesn't mean the meme has disappeared. Alas, it appears to be well on the rise again. > Making a self-reference to “nazi” does not seriously shelter > anyone's bad behaviour, since so much time has passed since Nazis > significantly harrassed anyone.

Well, that's an opinion, and one I'm not going to debate, since who the hell wants to defend something as squick-making as upskirt photos? But then, we really ought to be wary of making decisions based solely, or primarily, on the squick-factor. That's the primary basis for harassment and discrimination against male homosexuals. Visceral reactions are not to be trusted, *especially* when it comes to anything related to sex and sexuality. -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
