Heck, I have no problem with removing them. Give me some pliers, I'll be the Nazi.
Those of us who do favor less government and more civil liberties would really appreciate it if the word "Nazi" was reserved for those few occasions were it actually captured the horror of the systematic extermination of entire races as policy. Pretty soon they will do something worthy of the word "Nazi" and nobody will even blink when you point it out because the power of the word will have been defused by its frequent and erroneous use.
Those of you who thought this was comparable to Nazi Germany...could you point me to the part in Nazi history where your state-appointed defense lawyer gets to go the court and get an order defying the will of the state?
"It sounds like Nazi Germany when they were removing the gold teeth from the bodies, but at least then they waited until they were dead."
I don't have alot of sympathy for these maggots. What about when drug dealers steal the souls of innocent youngsters who get hooked on their junk? Or what about when they execute others over deals gone wrong, greed, etc?
Free thy caged ignorance....seek to be educated.
Everybody makes a mistake now and then. That's why we have all these ckecks and balances. Perfection is only a goal to strive for, don't expect to attain it.
I am sure there must be some sort of fascinating sociological explanation for this.
I don't think the Nazis "waited" until they were dead, but killed them before stripping fillings.
I have learned today that the Nazis were soooooo evil that anything done in the United States of America is acceptable practice.

America: A guy makes money selling drugs to kids,gets caught goes to jail assets siezed, has gold tooth replaced with composite.
I think they knew the fillings were permanent, too, or else they'd not need a dentist.
The phenomenon is as old as the Internet, and has a name: Godwin's Law. From Wikipedia:Ever notice how fast a thread goes downhill after the first mention of Hitler or Nazis?
This thread was dead on the first post.As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one.
There is a tradition in many Usenet newsgroups that once such a comparison is made the thread in which the comment was posted is finished and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically lost whatever debate was in progress.
It may not be a creation of the WOD, but it sure seems to fund it, and the most flagrant abuses always seem centered around drugs.Asset forfeiture is not a creation of the war on drugs, but of federal anti-racketeering legislation originally used against organized crime. Both the federal and state government versions of these have been abused. The intention was to make the punishment fit the crime, and make ill-gotten gains unavailable to the hoods when they got out of prison. Sort of a reverse incentive program. When it happens to Tony Soprano we don't cry about it on THR.
But the system requires a lot of oversight, checks and balances. I just want real dirtbags to pay taxes, in whatever form, just like I have to.
You wouldn't let them wear their Rolexes in jail to await trial. Or their huge gold chains.
I'm sure these lads bought the jewel encrusted monstrosities with tips from the car wash, and income tax records will prove their legitimate lavish lifestyle is honest and pure.
