[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5461812, member: 24302"] You should be aware, and it's established fact from a time when recording history was a serious undertaking, that close to 100 million died as a result of WWII. Not only 6 million Jews were killed by the Nazis, but a lot of other "undesirables" were too like gypsies. A couple million more beyond the Jews who were killed. Then there were battle deaths. Disease and starvation. Reprisals. In what is now Serbia the Nazis killed thousands at a time in reprisal for guerilla attacks that killed a few Nazis. More than 60 million babies aborted is a huge issue and a terrible stain on our country. We should always be striving to end it. But let's be clear that anyone who wants to eliminate an entire race, ethnicity, or creed by systematic extermination, turning murder into an industrialized exercise, should always be remembered for the evil they perpetrated. Blacks will always remember their enslavement. Native Americans will always remember being decimated by the arrival of Europeans. Tibetans will always remember their homeland and culture being swept away by the Chinese. And Jews will always remember their very existence being almost wiped away by the Nazis. What might not matter to us personally so much is very much a big part of their identity. And colors how these groups view the world around them today. We can't take back what was done. All we can do is just be decent human beings who treat others as we would want to be treated. [/QUOTE]
