Re: Nazi Goering\'s Glamour Yacht \"CARIN II\" Found Lying in Red Sea

I don't think I have particularly bad taste, but checked with my wife just in case /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif and we both think she has the makings of a very nice boat, and at 90ft I'm very tempted to get involved (if only I had the money) . Niether of us can understand what this hang up some people have is all about. So she was built for a senior German officer in WWII, so what, she's a nice boat and I wouldn't care if she was built for A.H. himself, I just see a nice boat
I do like the irony though /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

A senior german officer?.......you make him sound almost honourable. If you are inclined to do so, maybe have a read of this....

Some people might find that wanting to be associated with, and to admire something connected with a piece of [--word removed--] like Hermann Goering, just a tad sick. Still what the heck, it was all a long time ago must be all of 63 years, and what does it matter that millions of people died?
Well actually to me, and I am sure to many others it matters a great deal. I am also sure that nothing I have to say will stop anybody trying to make a few quid out of restoring the bloody thing.
For me, restoring that boat is no different to collecting and wearing Nazi uniforms and insignia, still some people will try to attach credibility to all kinds of sick pursuits and pastimes, am I being intolerant here? Probably, but I think society is way too tolerant of all kinds of shite these days.
I expect that in truth, I am just a small voice in the wilderness, but it doesn't mean that I am wrong, does it?
