I am still here! This month has been extremely turbulent over here in Greece, so please forgive the lagging. On the story, now, Herr Eichel just hurt Bohm's feelings. Now he'll need to find somewhere to take it out on. :P Also let me wish you all a belated (for non Orthodox) Easter! We are having ours this weekend, so I'm not really late in my well wishes :)
The SS had an excellent example for kicking around subordinates with delightful and ruthless sarcasm, Reinhard Heydrich or at least how he's played by David Warner. Absolute gov'ts are notorious for such silly head games that really only end up degrading how effectively work gets done. (Witness Soviet Russia, Fascist Italy, Nazi Germany etc)
usedbooks: I think it stems from an effort to overcompensate for low self esteem for many... and for those who are the sinister designers of horrors like the nazis, racism is an easy and arbitrary key to create unbreachable castes, because you can't change your race (unless you are Michael Jackson). On a completely different note, I'd suggest that when someone tells you you have nice eyes, just enjoy the compliment, because from what I've seen, it's true. :)
I never understood how someone could be proud of race or of anything they had no hand in influencing. If someone tells me I have nice eyes, I say "thanks," but it's awkward. It's not like I put effort into the color of my irises. I don't polish them every morning.
Abt_Nihil: I don't think the Nazis have the market cornered on this one. It doesn't take much to let loose on a subordinate, nazi or not. XD // Pit_Face: Thank you! That was the idea :)

bravo1102: That's correct. I think it says something that abuse like that tends to occur in some workplaces today too. // dragonrider: :D :D
