Bite me.
There is no way the girls i kiss can be described as "little".It serves you right, for kissing little girls.
Holocaust denial is revisionist racism in disguise.
The Holocaust happened. There is no doubt about that. Ask those older people with numbers tattooed on their arms how they acquired them.Why?
Isn't the denial of listening to glossed over facts about an important point in history just a way of making critical reasoning taboo?
Sure, the Holocaust denial movement has been hijacked by racists as a point to make against Jews but it doesn't stop there. There are definitely huge glaring discrepancies with the "official account" and that needs to be addressed as a service to history.
And no culture, race, country or ideology can declare history off limits to further their own radical agendas.
I would take precedence with ANY subject that took a "lalalalalala" approach to an issue. It's fundamentalism at its finest.
OK fine you can play our evil anti-semitic, thats ignoring all the other groups that the Nazis loved just as much.There are definitely huge glaring discrepancies with the "official account" and that needs to be addressed as a service to history.
That doesn't even come close to counting as a basic argument. :lol:Laker_Girl said:Even I must admit that 6 million seems incredible and I'm 99% sure my grandma was really Jewish.
No, I won't play the evil anti-semitic. Sorry on that, GTC.OK fine you can play our evil anti-semitic, thats ignoring all the other groups that the Nazis loved just as much.
Many. But we will go with a simple one.What discrepancies are there with the official historical account?
I'm calling you out, dude!
Holocaust denial? Pffft. Agenda driven pablum, I say.
Defend yourself. Here. Now.
Menty, take your anti-semitism and peddle it elsewhere.
[...]take your anti-semitism and peddle it elsewhere[...]
Well I guess that depends on your definition of "grossly inflated".I don't deny a holocaust happened. I take issue with the grossly inflated numbers that have been kept at six million for political reasons. If any of you want to argue that point with me I'll make you look like idiots. Just a friendly.
Jew hater! I bet it somehow has to do with that thing you have for twelve year olds and coke too!No, I won't play the evil anti-semitic. Sorry on that, GTC.
K. J00z did WTC!!!!11111111But if you want to play then pony up.
Most sources I've seen state an estimate between five and six million.Most history books list 6,000,000 for the number of murdered Jews. Most historical counts immediately after the war show estimated Jewish losses at about 5.7mm. The Jewish leadership, wishing to maximize world favor so they could take over Palestine after the war, doggedly have stuck to these high numbers.
As far as I know most studies use prewar census and postwar census.Both methods represent inflated figures. It has since been well documented that many Jews hid their ethnic identity during and after the war (see the USA Secretary of State under Clinton for a perfect example). Thus the missing Jews after the war taken by census may actually have been a huge miscount. (Aside: It is not well known in the West, but a second 'holocaust' occurred in Poland shortly after the end of WWII, where Catholic Poles ethnically cleansed their nation of Jews. At least some tens of thousands of Jews were killed during this action.
You're trying to mix two different points into one.As for records, it is now well documented that the Soviets grossly exaggerated the numbers of dead for Auschwitz. Probably a million died there, while the Soviets claimed four million. Otherwise, there is physical evidence that indicates the impossibility of killing 6,000,000 persons by gas chambers and other similar state sanctioned methods, during the time of the war.
So far the only issue I have with your claims is the intent you're trying to place behind them.If empirical evidence is denied due to the "sensitive" nature and repercussions of doing so then we have history dictated by feelings and emotions rather than cold facts.
You just pulled a number out of your ass. There's no breakdown of data or even an attempt to display evidence supporting your claims.Thus my opinion is that probably about 2,000,000 Jews, possibly 3,000,000, were killed by various actions - concentration camps, execution, direct military deaths, disease, death camps, Allied bombing, etc. While this is still a very large number and represents a huge humanitarian tragedy, it is not so huge as to dwarf other similar ethic battles of the last few centuries. (a few examples: Germany lost one third of her population during the Hundred Years War, a religious conflict. The French killed approximately 2,000,000 civilian Spaniards during the reign of Napoleon. Germany lost about 3,000,000 civilian dead after WWII - some to deliberate starvation in Western camps but mostly due to cold murder by Soviets and their allies.)
This is TK not western media so cries of persecution and censorship hardly apply you hate mongering Nazi.As first noted, the political scene in much of the West is such that rational discussion of this topic is generally not possible. Elements of Jewish government and groups wish to cling to the higher number in order to continue garnering sympathy. Those who disagree are labeled hate mongers and Nazi's. Perhaps in another generation, saner heads will prevail and the history can be more accurately accounted.
Yeah dude I totally have Jewish friends too. I even hang out with them and stuff.I had close ties to the Jewish community in London when I was growing up. I have absolutely no problem with Jewish people whatsoever. What I have a problem with is any group or state that would use a distortion of history to further an agenda. And that is what the inflation and distortion of the holocaust has provided.
Your issues have more to do with the political fallout of the holocaust rather than the holocaust itself.I find it very telling that a number which has ultimately been agreed upon to be symbolic and in no way provable and in actual fact contradictory can result in legal and social persecution for those who even question it. Apparently to question it at all is tantamount to racism. Even displayed in this thread by GTC and Friday. Of course each is making blatant assumptions of racism due to the questioning itself. Sheep like if anything.
LOL.Most sources I've seen state an estimate between five and six million.
You fucking Anti-semitic piece of shit. It was 1.5 million you worthless spineless Nazi sympathizing bitch.Also the official figure Auschwitz is 1.1 million.
No wai!!!1 Rly? Isn't mutually exclusive.Your issues have more to do with the political fallout of the holocaust rather than the holocaust itself.
Wow, totally cool man. You seen that Jon Stewart guy on TV as well? He's pretty funny!Yeah dude I totally have Jewish friends too. I even hang out with them and stuff.
Actually it's an upper estimate based on available evidence, but anyway.LOL.
You talk about pulling numbers out of ones ass? -- That's the whole point. six-million-dead is the greatest ass pulled number ever.
The 1.1 million figure has been around since the fifties first published by Raul Hilberg's book The Destruction of the European Jews.You fucking Anti-semitic piece of shit. It was 1.5 million you worthless spineless Nazi sympathizing bitch.
Ahem...
Thanks for that anyway. Because before 1990 it was officially 4 million. That was, as you stated, finally changed. But the number of dead was still kept at six million. Quite odd considering 2.5 million deaths were subtracted from the original six million. Why? Because six million is just a completely magic number that doesn't really mean anything. Just as long as it is never subtracted or revised given new and existing evidence. It has nothing to do with reality.
Your obvious Jew hatred is clearly evident for everyone to see. You might as well admit your allegiance and desire to be a part of the master race and start uncontrollably raising your right arm at your favourite Aryan leader already.No wai!!!1 Rly? Isn't mutually exclusive.
Millions of Jews died in WWII. That's not in question. The human loss from WWII is mind blowing. But that doesn't change the fact that the (this) "holocaust" has been used as a political tool and that systematic annihilation on this grand scale has never been close to being proved. That's the issue. Though I do find it fascinating (while I'm being accused of making outlandish claims) that I am now a racist. It's a hard trap to stay out of clearly! I'd love to hear some back-up and reasoning on THAT.
Unfortunately Colbert already claimed him as his Jewish friend so I'll have to find another one.Wow, totally cool man. You seen that Jon Stewart guy on TV as well? He's pretty funny!
Shalom.
