    :) to be honest, coming from different point of view, one could ask what was so special about the jews that we still discuss this all around the world every day? ;) Sure it was shit but I don't see threads and threads about the Irish famine... or about how we were treated... or any other country who's had it bad for that matter... cos there're plenty of us... it wasn't just the jews who were persecuted at any one time.

    And don't get me wrong... of course it was fucking dispicable what happened... but there have been plenty of disgusting regimes since then and people don't seem to care... 'never again' my arse. Does that only apply to the Jews?

    Perhaps you could start a campaign to get more information to the world about the Irish famine.

    Don't leave it to someone else to do!

    Of course there is. You can exaggerate a lot.

    :D you joking? I'm sure there are plenty of people who would say I already run THAT campaign :p

    TBH, I understand why people KNOW or care fuck all about Irish history... I just don't understand why they can pick one group of people and suggest that their attrocity is worse or more important than any other when they're ALL hell for those living through them.
    The Astoria??? Orgazmic!
    Verona??? it's all surmountable
    Dublin 23.08.06 "The beauty of Ireland, right there!"

    Chicago 07? And love
    What a different life

    I think the more Nazi's are demonized as inhuman entities, the more people think it can never happen again unless another Hitler comes into power and those rare circumstances are somehow recreated. I think that's a big mistake a lot of people make.
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    Right. We should embrace them and celebrate our differences. This is simply a multi-cultural issue we need to get over. Our prejudice against the Nazis is holding us back from true enlightenment.

    I just find it amazing that someone who embraces the nazi's and openly admits the holocaust is a fraud can post here. god bless america I guess.

    We are not so different now from what happened back then is my point.

    Those people living then were not so different from us. Probably a lot lees than people are willing to realize.,

    Actually your conclusions are blinded and adversely affected by a host of knee-jerk type personality conflicts.

    wow your flying colors come through again! I'll give you a logical reason, THE HOLOCAUST DID HAPPEN. no logical reason to hold a conference questioning that.

    How fitting that was your 666 post.

    You should really digest the information and articles presented sometime. It would help you learn more.
