Its so sad that people are teaching their children hatred. Sometimes freedom of speech goes too far.

OK, Steve always said that if I didn't understand a reference, chances are it is the name of a rock group. That's what you mean by "Prussian Blue," right?
If they are not any good, then they should additionally be criticized for misusing the name of (a) a very pretty color, and (b) an ancient and honorable civilization, and an ancestor of mine (so I am told).
I know that during WWII it was common to equate Prussians with Nazis, and the name was in such disrepute that even Prussian-Americans several generations removed from the "old country" changed their names to anglicize them. So if it turns out these jokers are neo-Nazis, they are not only despicable, they are historically wrong. One of the first things Hitler did upon coming to power was called "The Night of the Long Knives." He had all those proper old Prussian gentlemen soldiers rounded up and, for the most part, executed. Some few, alas, did choose to join his party instead, and they were subsequently betrayed. Nazis were NOT Prussians, at least not respectable ones.

Fortunately or Unfortunately, freedom of speech gives everyone the right to think and say whatever they think is correct. Unfortunately, there is no rule as to the level of education or life experience one needs in order to use that freedom of speech. Hence, we are left with the ignorant and useless people. As long as we can identify them, we might be ok. I saw these little kids on Dateline or something and it was like, ok, so that's how stupid people talk. Realistically, it's just sad. But remember, for every two of these we can see, there's at least 1,000 we can't. Stay strong and read a book.

I think that it is great that the girls have pride in their heritage. Why is it so bad to sing about what you believe. The reason why people get so upset about their music is cause it is the truth. Go Prussian blue!!
