is this intentional?

look at the belt.

How could the son of a high-ranking officer in the SS not know that?

[Madrun Badrun]

    thats awesome. 


DEATH TO AMERICA!!!

[Fresh Prince]

As much as I love conspiracy theories-no.

[brawndolicious]

by the way, he said in the 70's that he was inspired by hitler.

[Phoenix Dark]

Yes, a liberal republican who supports immigration is a Nazi.

[Fresh Prince]

by the way, he said in the 70's that he was inspired by hitler.

Yeah, people admire Julius Cesear, Napolean and other questionable types that doesn't mean they're ready to conquer the world. 

[Phoenix Dark]

Hmm something seperates those two from Hitler. I can't put my finger on it...

[brawndolicious]

in what fucking way would you connect hitler with those two?

he's probably doing this out of spite.  to be a dick.  his father was a high-ranking officer in the SS and skull buckles don't look very good.

[TVC15]

Am Nintenho, is, again, an idiot.  The Totenkopf symbol dates back to Frederick the Great and the 18th century.  Yes, it was probably a poor choice, but it doesn't mean anything insidious.

Also, the idiotic Prison Planet site tries to connect the symbol to SKULL AND BONES.  Just goes to show how dumb they are.

[Fresh Prince]

Illustrating my point, PD don't look too deep.

Also it's not as if these people were saints either.

[brawndolicious]

it seems like a longer shot to assume it has to do with prussian cavalry when he's hugging a jew.

[TVC15]

No, it's a culturally ingrained symbol in the parts he's from.  It's been history for nearly 300 years.

Like I said, possibly unconsidered taste, but hardly PRISON PLANET OMG EVIL!

[Phoenix Dark]

Perhaps you forgot that neither presided over mass genocides. Must of slipped your mind.

Damn I wish I was smart. I do kinda want to head over to Prison Planet (PP) and post that info. $20 bet they'll call me a brownshirter Nazi supporter

They probably would.  Alex Jones' nutjobs are the real tinfoil hat deal.

Like I said, Arnold probably made a poor decision in wearing that buckle, but think about it logically.  Even if Arnold were an EVIL NAZI INTENT ON MAKING HOLOCAUST 2. . .would he really make an intended advertisement on the cover of an American magazine?   

[brawndolicious]

No, it's a culturally ingrained symbol in the parts he's from.  It's been history for nearly 300 years.
Like I said, possibly unconsidered taste, but hardly PRISON PLANET OMG EVIL!

but it's also the insignia for the most murderous part of the nazi party and his father was a high-ranking SS officer.  I don't think he's planning a new holocaust,  just probably hates jews a lot.

I don't care about the credibility of prison planet since I don't go there and I'm only using their pictures.

I'm pretty sure if the guy wanted some symbolic clothing to look good on a magazine cover, he'd probably have somebody tell him what to wear but if he just wants to insult a jew, he'll wear that.

[Fresh Prince]

Perhaps you forgot that neither presided over mass genocides. Must of slipped your mind.

Yes I'm sorry

[TVC15]

You are right, am nintenho, I am sure a big Hollywood actor hates jews.  I am sure that a Hollywood actor that decided to become a governor in a state ruled by Hollywood hates jews.

Sorry, dude, you are off on this one.  There's no evidence that Arnold hates jews.  Go dream up different paper tigers.  I have sern Arnie do some questionable things in his political career, but nothing that backs up your accusations.  I think it is much more likely that you over-react than anything else.

[Phoenix Dark]

It's all about subliminals!

Conspiracy theories are built around jumping to conclusions and making vague connections make perfect sense when taken out of context. Hans is really good at this, as are posters at PP and RRMB. Of course what I find most interesting is how hostile they become when people disagree with them. Rosie O'Donnell really gave people a good view of this during her rant, where she basically wouldn't listen to any opposing viewpoints. I've been called a contrarian, closeted republi-sheeple bastard on many occassions, even by family members

[brawndolicious]

well I don't think many people other than holocaust survivors would recognize that insignia and he's never worn it in any movies.

[TVC15]

Really?  I was able to identify it quickly, and I am not even an expert on the subject.  Just because you are simple doesn't mean you should project your head onto other people, especially the masses.

[brawndolicious]

I'm saying he could hate a jew and not actually say it but that at the very least, he's an idiot.

Even if this is on accident I don't know how much I could like politicians that make a mistake this big.

[Phoenix Dark]

He has no history of anti-semetic comments or behavior, and he's been surrounded by jews for what - 30 years now? And we all know he's not afraid to speak his mind and say dumb/controversal shit.

[brawndolicious]

Yeah but saying you hate jews directly might be bad for a austrian bodybuilder trying to become president.

[TVC15]

How about this, you ass:  Most of the time, at magazine shoots, the photograph subjects don't even pick what they get to wear.  They don't know what the sets will be.  They don't know what the pre-picked lighting will be.  They effectively can't pick their clothes beforehand when things are done on a set.  That probably applied here, too.

[Phoenix Dark]

Sort of like wearing an SS belt on the cover of a mainstream American magazine?

  owned

[drozmight]

Damn Nazi's... I want the skull back.

If we wear a cool skull and bones anything we'll be considered a hemeraging neo-nazi.

[brawndolicious]

the skull belt buckle looks out of place and I'm sure maybe the governor of california could say that to the photographer.  that he doesn't want to wear a skull belt buckle on the cover of time.

[TVC15]

As an additional visual aid to our distinguished mentally-challenged am nintenho:



When the belt buckle is zoomed in, it is clearly not a Totenkopf.

am nintenho has effectively been pantsed.  Ban this filth.

[brawndolicious]

the insignia is supposed to be a skull and crossbones with the crossbones behind the skull so the buckle could be it.

[Fresh Prince]

This thread should've ended within the first 5 posts.

[TVC15]

Sorry, am retardo, the Totenkopf is a specific symbol.  You can't change what it is just because you wish Arnold to hate jews, you bigot.

[brawndolicious]

Sorry, am retardo, the Totenkopf is a specific symbol.  You can't change what it is just because you wish Arnold to hate jews, you bigot.

how would it benefit me for him to be a nazi?

and they apparantly had different designs used for the totenkopf according to this site.

I'm not sure.  You made this topic and are feebly trying to defend your assertations, so I am guessing you have some point.

and they apparantly had different designs used for the totenkopf according to this site.

http://www.diggerhistory.info/00-pages-top-level/full_index.htm

I see one reference to totenkopf and it points to the same picture that is in pic number 2, not the one in his belt.

Why are you so bigoted, am nintenho?  Why do you want Arnold to be a bigot so much?

[drozmight]

All you're seeing is a belt buckle with a skull on a white guy of Austrian descent and labeling him a Nazi. I bet if you saw an Austrian pirate ship you'd yell "NAZISsssss," and run.

[brawndolicious]

I wouldn't really think about it if he wasn't with bloomberg and if he wasn't the son of a SS officer.

http://www.diggerhistory.info/images/uniforms4/totenkopf.jpg

that's the design on the website and it looks significantly different than the one on the hat.  I'm trying to say they used the same general design but changed it for some things.  It could be a very popular symbol of pride of some sort and have been drawn in many ways and arnold's reasoning is one of the non-holocaust creating parts of germany's history or it could be related to nazism.

[Ichirou]

I bet the belt was a gift from Dubya or something and that's why he's wearing it in the picture.

[TVC15]

And it doesn't look like what he has on his belt aside from the fact that they are both SKULL AND CROSSBONES!  Give it up.

[Ichirou]

I'm telling you guys, it looks like a cowboy belt, with that big shiny buckle.  I bet it was a gift, it doesn't look like Ahnuld's typical style.

[TVC15]

I'm telling you guys, it looks like a cowboy belt, with that big shiny buckle.  I bet it was a gift, it doesn't look like Ahnuld's typical style.

The picture was clearly shot on a set, and when you go to a set for modeling, you DO NOT PICK WHAT YOU WEAR.  Unfortunately, am nintenho is much too distinguished mentally-challenged to understand that.

[Howard Alan Treesong]

guys I saw pirates 3 and when johnny depp hoisted up his pirate flag it was a skull and crossbones
wikipedia tells me this is a "totenkopf"--I guess he hates jews!

[Cheebs]

Yeah but saying you hate jews directly might be bad for a austrian bodybuilder trying to become president.

He isn't trying to become president. By law he is not allowed to run, it would take an amendment to the constitution for him to run and you need 2/3rds to ratify that. Most republicans are against it as are democrats so good luck with that 2/3rds.

You are clueless if you think he is intending to run seeing how its legally impossible for him to run.

[futami]

He has no history of anti-semetic comments or behavior, and he's been surrounded by jews for what - 30 years now? And we all know he's not afraid to speak his mind and say dumb/controversal shit.

he does have a history of anti-semitic comments.

look, i like arnold, but the guy's a nazi sympathizer, and am nintendho is right on money.

why else would he wear something like that?

[Flannel Boy]

White Man owns distinguished mentally-challenged fellows: distinguished mentally-challenged fellows too distinguished mentally-challenged to notice!

[Human Snorenado]

If nintenho had been lepered like SOME people had asked, this thread would never have existed.  Think about that, Federwang.

[brawndolicious]

I'm saying that he should be familiar enough with an insignia that was that important in his father's generation.  Doesn't necessarily mean we can determine that he's good or evil but this looks stupid and hopefully he'll apologize.

I didn't say he had a chance.

I wanted responses like that the man is a Pastafarian and will stop global warming .  WTF would you all give a shit about this thread just because it shows one picture of arnold?  Idiots.

That doesn't seem like what you're trying to say.  You can't even keep your story straight.

he's probably doing this out of spite.  to be a dick.

I didn't have a story to keep straight actually.  More like a bunch of facts and a crappy picture.
