It's not even worth arguing with Magnum.

Just look at his post history, starting with any thread about WWII. His posts in this thread are only moderately crazy in comparison to some of the crap he's spewed in the past.

What's going on in here? How did this thread morph from irrational fear of people worrying about people in Toronto calling us hicks to fascism?

What are you talking about? It seems like a logical progression to me.

Toronto to Fascism? Doesnt require much of a leap...

I'd be happy if they got rid of the anthems and saved them for special occasions such as international games and games on November 11th.

I'm not sure why I'm getting flammed for this. All I said was the Dome's anthem presentation resembles a fascist rally, which to any objective observer it clearly does.

national pride != facism

its a component of facism, but singing an anthem at a hockey game is nowhere near in the same ballpark

Sorry, I'm just quoting this so you cant change it.

Sure, 'people standing up in a group.' I think thats the extent of any similarities.

To be fair to Magnum PEI, it's actually a little more engrained in our culture than we think and will only get worse. The most frightening example was at Shawnessy train station the other day. This train got to the platform and all of a sudden everyone inside stood up in unison and started marching together.

The only thing missing was the Nazi uniforms.

The only thing missing was the Nazi uniforms. I was too scared to investigate any further but if you think it can't happen here, then you're just not paying attention.
Hmmm.....you werent supposed to see that.

I have to 'talk' to someone.

I don't mind George's anthem at all because he does it so shortly and sweetly--no embellishments or stalling, just singing the songs. I hear he's also a decent guy since he was willing to meet my 80 year old aunt when the Flames gave her free tickets for her birthday (her son, my cousin, works in the 'Dome as a cook). She was tickled pink and says George was very kind to her Thanks Flames!

This thread has taken a weird turn.

I think Heather Liscano coming out of retirement would be the ultimate cure here.

Hitler ruined a lot of things but singing the Canadian National Anthem at the Dome is not one of them.

Amateurs. Nobody who is serious even wants anything to do with Poland anymore, Poland is so 1939.

The quality of their sausage has lessened of late.
