Qutb, nice 'discuss'. Thanks for putting so many words in my mouth. I cannot respond to what is obviously a programmed response, the remotest thing from discussion.<br><br>ProfessorPan, I appreciate your approach so I will try to respond in complete sincerity:<br><br> <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>I have never said you were a racist, or a liar, or anything else. I pointed out that your *words* were rather crass, and, in fact, are the same words Nazi apologists hammer into their followers. It's true -- they say "the Holocaust is a lie" ad nauseum. You'll have to excuse me if I see that as a red flag.<br></em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br><br> <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em> That's the continuing problem with many people who post here -- everything is construed as an attack on them, personally. Any attack on the information they bring up is a personal attack.</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br><br><br>On being 'attacked'... my momma always said 'if the shoe fits'... I didn't appreciate the offer to meet real Holocaust survivors; it assumed that I didn't think there was a Holocaust, and it was derogatory. And I didn't appreciate having my words repeated for me, misrepresented, and accused of changing my story after the fact. I don't take it personally though, the disparagement just serves to fog up what I try to say, and this is a discussion and can be nothing more. <br><br>As for being crass, well, I wasn't trying to be insensitive, but I'm not much good for sugar-coating either. I feel bad that that's what all the nazis said, but I'm sure little ironies like that occur regularly all through history. I understand your seeing a red flag though. <br><br>Please do not assume what I read, because that is not where I pick up talking like nazis. I actually stay away from all that shit. My perspective comes from watching how various conversations flow on this board and others, and its obvious watching discussions, where Jews and the holocaust enter the mix, that the open discussion is being actively thwarted, and I'm an out and out rebel against that.<br><br> <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em> If you would post some examples of what the holocaust lies are, maybe we could address some specific data. Abstractions ("all future wars will be lies and real at the same time"<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> don't tell us anyting of relevance about your original premise of the holocaust as a lie.</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br><br> <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>There -- no personal attacks on your or your motives, just a question. What are the lies about the holocaust?<br></em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br><br>This is a more difficult question. <br><br>First of all, I don't think its knee-jerk, but responsible to question the history of the holocaust when everything else about history is lied about. It doesn't help matters that nothing from 20th century history is as protected as the holocaust. Alarm bells ring in my head.<br><br>The bankers (please don't assume that I'm referring to a Jewish banker cabal) financed Hitler, knowing who he was. I think its disingenuous of them to absolve themselves of guilt because they say they 'discovered' what he was doing. That the same bankers financed both sides of the war screams that there was a big game on, and I can only assume that the Holocaust was part of that 'game'.<br><br>And as I said before, the Holocaust serves as a convenient fog to block the history of what actually happened to Germany in World War I and thereafter. We are not taught about the hardships that Germany suffered while the rest of the world roared throught the twenties, but we're taught more about the Holocaust in American schools than our own Civil Rights era.<br><br><br>...to be continued, hopefully<br><br><br><br> <br><br><br><br> <p></p><i></i>
