Angsty Shem
I should note something else I find rather irksome, regardless of how insensitive it may come across. Honestly, concerning Jewish kids today:
If you did not personally experience the holocaust and Nazi persecution, you have no reason to be "cringing" at the yellow patch. You're not even close to having lived through that. Nor were most of your parents, likely. It was half a century ago, and if something from that long ago can honestly have that strong a psychological effect on you, you should seek counseling for it. Hypersensitivity like that comes across as nothing more than hollow, political playing of the persecution card.
In no way am I suggesting that people should forget about the holocaust, so don't bother twisting my words. I have no doubt that your reactions are sincere, don't take me wrong. I simply can't find them to be in any way rational or productive for the Jewish people as a whole.

And your example hit the spot, my parents aren't holocaust survivers , though my grandparnts are, and couple a very history consciences family with the reguler high school holocaust trip, and you start getting a bit choppy at the badge. xp
And while said 'cringing' might not be rational , doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
Don't get me wrong, I'm don't want to take the star down , I'm just pointing out why it would, at least on the surfece, appear a bit tasteless to use it , even amongst Jews.
And you shouldn't worry about being blunt , that's part of your sexiness. whee
