JTT has a hobby of trashing the US and Americans. I got tired of listening to the same blurb he told million different ways with the same message, and finally put him on Ignore.

Peace at last!

@Lustig Andrei,
I think when it comes right down to it people will believe anything without even considering if the information is valid or factual. They will take one source as an authority on the subject and not consider checking other sources.

It is funny that my skepticism results in me being branded a nazi simply because I ask questions that other people just write off or don't investigate. They pretend as if I completely deny the deaths that did occur. They like to brand me as an extremist as if there were no crimes at all. This is how people like to think, in terms of extreme thinking as if everything is either one or the other.

I admit that both sides of the issue have a lot to gain by bending truths or out right lying. This is a problem. If the innocent have a lot to gain by making up false data then I become skeptical of the information that is being presented. If the victims had nothing at all to gain by lying then I am more inclined to believe their stories. In this case the victims have a tremendous amount to gain by lying and thus their validity of data must be investigated beyond just superficial observations, like "My father saw the camps, so yeah they murdered millions."

Just silly when a discussion comes down to selective bias and circumstantial evidence.

@Lustig Andrei,
Holocaust denial is the most prevalent form of anti-Semitism around today, but it's not really that much different from the sort of stuff that preceeded it. At first it just seems to change our opinion of the Nazis, the we know they were bad, but they weren't that bad argument, but it's far more sinister than that.

If the Holocaust was a hoax that would mean the Jews are immensely powerful, able to dictate world government, and write their own History. They would put the Illuminati in the shade as no serious credible historian has ever denied the Holocaust, only those on the fringes of academia.

This means sad pathetic inadequates can blame the Jews for everything that is wrong in their lives. We're all victims of Zion, and the only justifiable response is violence. This is exactly what the Nazis preached in the run up to World War 2, a Jewish conpiracy between Soviet and Wall Street Jews inflicted the Great Depression on the Aryan people, Nazi Germany was not the agressor, it was the victim.

During the pogroms in Russia, the Tsarist secret police produced The Protocols of Zion, a forged document purporting to be a Zionist manifesto for ruling the world. This duplicity was so successful that anti-Semitic websites still quote from it as if it's the genuine article, despite it being debunked many years ago.

There are people who constantly need a bogeyman to blame things on because they can't take personal responsibility, and Holocaust denial, with all that entails, gives those sad individuals that bogeyman on a plate. Some of them deliberately misinterprete things to fit in with their distorted world view, others, like Krumple, are just stupid.

Krumple is one of those really stupid people who thinks they're really smart. She makes simplistic errors in language, and doesn't understand when those errors are pointed out, (escape goat and crying fowl being notable examples).

She thinks she's being open minded by looking at the sort of thing most of us would dismiss out of hand, and genuinely does not realise that she's parroting Nazi propaganda. It's like CI says, there's no cure for stupid.

This is what I am referring to with extremist mindsets. As if to perpetuate a lie is in some way a super massive conspiracy of astronomical proportions. It never works that way but the only people who insist it does are those who are trying to infuse their own absurdity into the arguments. This is a similar mindset to racism and how racism continues. They take one aspect or trait of a race and impose it's value onto the rest of those who share such a trait. This is no different.

There is a motive for bending or misrepresenting data on concentration camps in germany during ww2. It only has to start as a small group of individuals perpetuating the same lies which get repeated and become a wave of inaccuracies. The longer the data goes unchallenged the further it impacts into the culture and after a while these lies get accepted hands down and anyone who does decides to investigate gets branded as being antisemitic.

It is such a great way to continue with the lies when you consider anyone who asks for more evidence to just shut up or become afraid of being branded such. This only creates more of a problem. Why the need to label someone as antisemitic if the stories are actually true? There wouldn't be a need or motive, the truth would speak for itself. The fact that they need this label to stand on is evidence of insecurity with the truth.

Only idiots like you are insecure with the truth, you hate a lot of people don't you? Christians, Jews, people who don't want their children to be killed by a lunatic with automatic weapons, the list goes on and on.

Maybe instead of telling people what to think, and looking around for someone else to blame for all that's gone wrong in your life, you should take a long hard look at yourself.

The evidence for the Holocaust is overwhelming.

Na it comes down to you not realizing why certain things are necessary despite your dislike for them. The funny thing about comparing these two things is that had germany not banned owning private firearms it would have been much harder for the germans to round up the jews. But since they banned firearms there was nothing they could use to defend themselves from this oppression and injustice. This same sort of thing could happen where ever firearms are banned.

I don't blame anyone for my problems. You want to think that I do as the only way you can accept how I can even come up with my statements. So you really have no clue what you are even talking about. I know you like to think that you do but it is clear you have no clue on really any subject matter.

@Krumple,
I'm not trying to impose anything on anyone, some things are facts, the evidence is overwhelming, and your pathetic attempts to disprove something that is accepted by all serious academics shows you're delusional.

The one fact you need to examine, is that you're quite stupid. I know it's hard to come to terms with, and you think you're quite smart, but you're not. You're very very stupid.

As for gun control in Germany, try looking at the facts for once. You want guns because you're a sad inadequate who has nothing better to do than stay up all night arguing with people on the internet.

Quote:
Gun control, the Law on Firearms and Ammunition, was introduced to Germany in 1928 under the Weimar regime (there was no Right to Arms in the Constitution of 1919) in large part to disarm the nascent private armies, e.g. the Nazi SA (aka "the brownshirts"). The Weimar government was attempting to bring some stability to German society and politics (a classic "law and order" position). Violent extremist movements (of both the Left and Right) were actively attacking the young, and very fragile, democratic state. A government that cannot maintain some degree of public order cannot sustain its legitimacy. Nor was the German citizenry well grounded in Constitutional, republican government (as was evidenced in their choices at the ballot box). Gun control was not initiated at the behest or on behalf of the Nazis - it was in fact designed to keep them, or others of the same ilk, from executing a revolution against the lawful government. In the strictest sense, the law succeeded - the Nazis did not stage an armed coup.

The 1928 law was subsequently extended in 1938 under the Third Reich (this action being the principal point in support of the contention that the Nazis were advocates of gun control). However, the Nazis were firmly in control of Germany at the time the Weapons Law of 1938 was created. Further, this law was not passed by a legislative body, but was promulgated under the dictatorial power granted Hitler in 1933. Obviously, the Nazis did not need gun control to attain power as they already (in 1938) possessed supreme and unlimited power in Germany. The only feasible argument that gun control favored the Nazis would be that the 1928 law deprived private armies of a means to defeat them. The basic flaw with this argument is that the Nazis did not seize power by force of arms, but through their success at the ballot box (and the political cunning of Hitler himself). Secondary considerations that arise are that gun ownership was not that widespread to begin with, and, even imagining such ubiquity the German people, Jews in particular, were not predisposed to violent resistance to their government.

The Third Reich did not need gun control (in 1938 or at any time thereafter) to maintain their power. The success of Nazi programs (restoring the economy, dispelling socio-political chaos) and the misappropriation of justice by the apparatus of terror (the Gestapo) assured the compliance of the German people. Arguing otherwise assumes a resistance to Nazi rule that did not exist. Further, supposing the existance of an armed resistance also requires the acceptance that the German people would have rallied to the rebellion. This argument requires a total suspension of disbelief given everything we know about 1930s Germany. Why then did the Nazis introduce this program? As with most of their actions (including the formation of the Third Reich itself), they desired to effect a facade of legalism around the exercise of naked power. It is unreasonable to treat this as a normal part of lawful governance, as the rule of law had been entirely demolished in the Third Reich. Any direct quotations, of which there are several, that pronounce some beneficence to the Weapons Law should be considered in the same manner as all other Nazi pronouncements - absolute lies.

Funny how you think you know what you are talking about. Or your feeble attempts to put yourself into some high position as if you can talk down on people. The same things you accuse me of you do yourself and can't even see it. Like I said before you think you can be exempt from your own accusations but it only makes you look more moronic.

@Krumple,
When you call Setanta or me a moron it's an insult, but when we call you a moron it's a statement of fact. Sorry, but if you came to terms with that, you'd find life so much easier. Your comments are intensely simplistic, and your 'insights' are either delusions or the blindingly obvious.

You've been put on ignore by so many people, not just because you're quite offensive, but because you have absolutely nothing to offer. The only posters who give you any credit at all, are lacking in grey matter themselves.

In essence it's only stupid people who don't think you're as thick as mince.

This is just another example of how narrow your scope is of reality. You can't comprehend that there are people that don't live by your schedule? You think everything should be on your terms or it is invalid? Also another failed attempt at belittling me. Regardless if I am staying up all night reminding you of how uneducated you are or that my life schedule is different than yours is completely irrelevant. You do know what irrelevant is? I wouldn't want to use to large of words for you, like "the" or "and".

And not very good **** at that. At least Gunga gives us the odd chuckle with his crackpot theories. You can't even do that.

I've already tossed bits of humor at you but your intellect can't pick them up as pointed out several times previously. You just don't have the intellectual capacity to see something that is funny outside of slap stick simple minded jokes. Although I bet some of that even goes over your head and you only laugh because you see others laughing.

That would be you Krumple.

The problem is you accept secondary sources while ignoring primary ones like this report from Himmler that cites over 350,000 Jews executed in a 4 month period.

Why would Himmler list Jews as being executed if they were simply dying from Typhus?

What's silly is when it comes down to selective bias vs factual evidence. And you are being silly. You have failed to address the writings of guards where they described the killings. They had no reason to lie. You now need to address the report by Himmler of executions.

See this is part of the problem. Even if this number is accurate it doesn't mean that the grand total was 6 million. Sure 350k could have been killed in 4 months but why should you then all of a sudden say, well yeah 6 million was the final result. It is a leap of data to make such a statement.

I am skeptical of the 350k in the 4 months.

I find it funny that you use guard statements as reliable evidence when there are other guards who claim just the opposite. Not only that but there are jews who were encamped who said they never saw or heard of anyone gassed to death. Why would they lie? They were prisoners themselves yet they suggest they never saw or experience anyone being exterminated. These were jews who worked closely with guards and assisted in camp functions. These anecdotal testimonies are not reliable.

This is where it starts to get interesting. You are starting to contradict yourself and can't see it. If the holocaust never occurred then why would Jews have needed to defend themselves? Certainly all the Jews just returned to their homes after the war since they were not killed. Or are you now arguing that many of them were killed as a result of their not being able to defend themselves.

We ill ignore for present the idiocy that forgets that the majority of the Jews killed were never subject to German firearm laws so your argument does nothing to defend the Poles or Russians that died.

.

I didn't make that leap based on only one piece of evidence. Where did the 6 million Jews go that dissappeared?

Skeptical why? Are you saying Himmler was lying? Why would he do such a thing in 1942? Your failure to explain away the evidence shows you are starting with a bias and not looking at evidence.

That is a ridiculous argument Krumple. It makes no sense. Because someone didn't see something happen is not proof that it didn't happen. Several million NYers didn't see the WTC towers fall on 9/11. Is that evidence that they are still standing? Your argument is not logical or even rational. All the guards were not involved in executions. One needs to look at those that WERE. Not rely only on those that were not there.

See once again I can not praise your reading comprehension skills at all. I never said there was no holocaust. This is just another example of what happens when someone says they are skeptical of the numbers, they immediately get branded as a denier. I never said there wasn't war crimes being committed and that thousands were unjustly treated and many died. However; the six million number is bullshit. I actually question 2 million. It just is not logistically possible for them to have killed two million. They simply did not have the resources necessary to do so and at the same time they wouldn't have wasted huge amounts of fuel (coal oil) for getting rid of bodies as many claims suggest.

Another example dealing with firearms is Switzerland. If you look at a map of countries taken over by germany during late in the war you will see switzerland completely surrounded. Hitler himself was quoted stating that it would be insanity to invade Switzerland since they have a natural well armed militia.

The non banning firearm argument is bogus data once again. Prior to Hitler's election germany had done several movements to ban privately owned firearms. This can not be refuted yet many anti-gun activists try to promote lies once again by spreading false data.

No,you have done just that. You don't get to argue that the number was less than half and the Germans didn't purposely exterminate people with gas at the same time you argue that holocaust exists.

If Himmler's numbers are correct and I see no evidence from you to not believe them. They could have easily killed 2 million Jews in less than 2 years. It is not only logistically possible. It is impossible for you to provide evidence to deny it.

Nice red herring. Do you want to try to defend your original statement or are you just going to pretend that German gun laws did apply to Poles, Russians, Belgians, French etc?
