And The Cycle Begins Again

[mickydoolittle]

removed for numerous reasons, number one being that MD "is not welcome here".

[Skippy]

Mickey, please demonstrate to everyone here how you are so much less of an idiot by providing us with brief summary of the internment camps in the US during the Second World War. Without looking any of it up. Please provide us the names of the camps, and their locations in your summary.

[DontBeAfraid]

Skippy our camps were bad, but they dont warrent nearly as much attention as camps used to slaughter 10 million people.

They were like gitmo, important to the era but history will forget.

. . .Skippy, no-one could deny the black-mark America carries for its' handling of the Japanese/American population (and to a much-lesser degree) Germans during WWII HERE, though certainly no-one cannot equate THAT in any-way to the other; This thread could very well deteriorate into one of accusations and again counter accusations (for instance) with the Canadian Gov'ts handling of Indian Tribes indigenous to the areas such as Manitoba, Saskatchewan & Alberta/but then again, why go there as well?
. . .I believe Micky's post was to underscore the rise of something we who watch the news have witnessed that causes us concern, (I myself have seen a resurgence of news articles in this way) Anti-Semitism as expressed by the painting of swastikas and slogans upon temples in Paris, Spain, and yes, Canada as well; (Also here!) Part of the popularity many feel that comes from this resurgence in activity of this like are with the young who have absolutely no inkling of the true evil that "Adolph Hitler" represented and therefore, leaves as an open-door the grim possibility of a historical replay of THE MOST tragic event in all of human history. These perpetrators need to be located and brought to justice, A.S.A.P. . . .

Joe, my point was that just because study, which I would question for various reasons, states that people in the UK under 35 might not know much about Aushwitz, they don't tell us how many didn't know about the Holocaust itself. Death Rattle calls those foreign kids idiots running in the streets, yet nobody has given any details about the internment camps in the US/Canada, nor the effects of it. People in glass houses my friend.

[DontBeAfraid]

So you do want to go down the name calling road...... Good call bigsky.

. . .That perhaps it befalls the "Human Race" the task of combating the greatest of evils first? (or) should we start with the smaller injustices, hoping-against-hope that things shouldn't get TOO BAD before we can tackle them as well?

What's it gonna be?

Humans will never learn from their mistakes. History will always repeat itself. Did Hitler's ascent to power and his war of agression have any impact on the Bush administration following Hitler's footsteps? Of course not.

Nor does knowing that the Holocaust happened prevent anti-semitism today, any more than it prevented ethnic cleansing in the Balkans, or else NATO and the UN would have actually dealt with the matter much better than it did.

:D (at first I missed the comedy of your statement) Now that I understand that you could not possibly be serious, I am left wondering how much of "Gilligan's Island" you believed was real?

. . .Do people seem to just miss the point that IF George Bush were walking in the path of Adolf Hitler THIS pastime that I am presently employing to express my viewpoint would not be possible?
. . .That Adolf Hitler attempted an eradication of an entire race whereas no issue or edict to do so has ever emanated from this administration? (INDEED) within AMERICA it is a CRIME which will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, to persecute one who happens to be a practicing Muslim? (in pre-WWII Germany, persecution of "Jews" was not only overlooked, it was encouraged).
. . .NOT ONE 'prediction' as to how GWB could have taken the election by declaration of "Martial Law" came to fruition? (IF he had HAD that ability to control, why do you think he displayed the level of stress and concern pre-election that he had?) This, (of course) is natural for one seeking re-election.


Origionally posted by "MickyDoolittle"The UN is not an organization to be reckoned with in any situation. The UN is indeed as useless as tits on a boar hog.

. . .Aye. Needs to be stated AGAIN and AGAIN and yet AGAIN, until we can rid ourselves of Kofi Annan and this 'useless eater' of a DIS-organization.

Oops, didn't mean to insult the mafia like that. The mafia is actually pretty organized, and ran smoothly; with more legit businesses than the U.N.. :Bott:

i think Hitler and the events surrounding WWII had a massive impact on the Bush administration's decision to go to war. I wouldn't call it "following in Hitler's footsteps," however. More like "get rid of a threat before it fully becomes one." Which of course, is exactly what we did this time that was not done before WWII.

The point of this thread and topic is that humans are indeed stupid

You'll have to speak for yourself on this one Micky... =)

I would agree that we are all ignorant to certain extents. We cannot know everything and those who think they do, IMO know the least. (yes, a bit of Socrates)... but stupid I would not agree with. Sometimes misled, sometimes ignorant... but as a whole, I would not say stupid. I have faith in humans, I have faith in myself, and I have faith in God. Now rip my beleiving in religion all you want, but at least skippy is well spoken, well educated, and IMO not stupid- even if i disagree with almost everything he says.

For myself, I think I can put up a good argument. If I lose, I learn from it and amend my view. If I win, I've convinced someone that I'm more "right" than they are, and hopefully we all can learn from it and get closer to the truth. Maybe its my being less than devout that affords me this luxury. I don't know, but I certainly don't think I'M stupid.

Of course, one could beg to differ because I've obviously opened myself to attack here by you. =)
