I just had a thought.

Do you think any Jewish people might find the barcode offensive because of the tattoos that some of them received during the Holocaust?

as far as i know the tattoos were definately not bar codes, but rather simple symbols
i know diffrent religious groups had diffrent symbols tattooed on them so its not just the jews that would have a problem with it, but i don't think anyone could see this as related to the holocaust

eh, i was wrong
apparently the symbols were sewn to their uniforms/prison clothes...

here's a translation, very detailed in some cases ie: jew who had sex with an aryan, or aryan who had sex with a jew... wtc

the tattoos were numbers tattooed on the forearm / wrist area

if anyone is offended by you having a barcode on your arm then they are overly sensitive

a bar i go to use to put the stamp on your wrist, instead of the back of the hand, so that it wouldnt wash off easily if you used the bathroom or whatever... i immediately drew a connection to it and kinda chuckled about it [office space]you know the nazis had pieces of flair that they made the jews wear[/office space]... a few weeks later i was outside having a cigarette, talking with one of the bouncers and i guess a jewish kid whos grandfather was in a a concentration camp and has the tattoo, was a little offended / bothered by getting stamped there... they never even thought about it like that

anything you do in life WILL offend someone... most times their offense is not justified

i shave my head... im sure some people are offended / bothered by that... i just dont care

Ya, I was just thinking about that. Plus I have heard the tattoo on the wrist refered to as a "Barcode". That's prolly where I got mixed up.

I was going to get a similar one with my daughters birth day under on the bottom in between the lines. I'll still eventually get it.

It's sad how unsensitive i am about things, we have a friend that is really skinny and one night we were joking around about him being in the holocaust and i told him to show his tattoo
