I give up! :damn:

Wtf...is it true, :timeout:

[STEED]

Wtf...is it true, :timeout:

YES!

[Gerald]

This means that "someone" has screw...

[Sailor Steve]

Overreacting and stepping on the innocent...it's what governments are for. :D

[Armistead]

The Red Cross has been doing this for years, not really unheard of.

[gimpy117]

it would be like impersonating a police officer; you just can't pretend to be a red cross officer. I know its a technicality, but its the law.

[Diopos]

Good thing we have our priorities in order!

:roll:

There's a difference between wearing those clothes in front of a limited audience, and wearing those clothes in public. Nobody of the audience is really gonna think it's a real red cross nurse standing on the stage. The image of the red cross as a "special sign of neutrality and protection" has never been at stake.

That figures... :rolleyes:

The first thought i had, when i saw the Picture from the guy:
Wow the Geneva Convention is protecting us from bad taste. :har:

I give up! :damn:

I can't believe they made you change that! You should have changed it to a green cresent. If I were you, I'd get a good lawyer.

[papa_smurf]

You'd think they would be catching war criminals who have broken the Geneva Convention, not this:doh:

[TarJak]

You'd think they would be catching war criminals who have broken the Geneva Convention, not this:doh:No no pantomime is a far greater crime against humainty than any war atrocity.:D

[Penguin]

A scandal: Every year on carnival thousands of people here dress up in uniforms with a red cross and the german police does nothing to fight this criminal, despicable act of breaking the Geneva Convention.

Yes, freaking make-up-feeders!
Though I like the silent-film-era, but these days it was an art, performed by people who were professionals.

I don't understand the thread title though.... :06:

[Jimbuna]

Good old Britain....forget the problems and hardships we are facing with this frightening coalition government and go on the lookout for serious law breaking....pantomines :rotfl2::nope:

A jobsworth is a person who uses his or her job description in a deliberately uncooperative way, or who seemingly delights in acting in an obstructive or unhelpful manner.

[jumpy]

Yer, I heard this on the radio the other day... the fools.

a further description of 'jobsworth' is a useless busybody who will be amongst the first against the wall when the revolution comes. Pity we can't put all of them on a spaceship and launch them into deep space. The red cross monkey lawyer being interviewed also talked about how nurse costumes (ie party fancydress clothes etc) were also braking the law as regards the red cross...
As it was described anyone not specifically authorised to wear/use a red cross on a white background was braking the law and detracting from the reputation the red cross has in conflict zones around the world... I guess no one told the guy about the cross of St George then.

We have such a unique outlook on life here:yep:

[Jimbuna]

I must admit to having been called a one myself on numerous occasions.

The person doing the calling never seemed to take into consideration they weren't listening or constantly interrupted warnings/advice to be quiet and listen to said advice.....never mind the fact they were breaking the law in some way or other :DL

And a happy one. I would be smiling too, were I him.

The Scots must be still dealing with the snow up there way other wise they would be filling there slings full of left over haggis and aimed at the person in question. :)

[ReFaN]

what a kerfuffle :down:

[clive bradbury]

The Muslim equivalent, the Red Crescent, is not immune from this sort of attitude, either. They have frequently banned the Red Cross from operating in Muslim countries because their emblem is a Christian symbol. No it isn't, the Red Cross is simply a direct colour reversal of the Swiss National flag, chosen purely because the organisation was originally established there.

Which was based on the christian cross. Sorry but they are right and you are not.:know:
