Same as you wouldn't blindly trust the mechanic who's working on your car. Reserve the right to challenge and ask questions if you have doubts, and don't feel obliged to accept every answer at face value and seek no other opinion. --- Easily manipulated |

| Firewerx 12/13/19 5:20:26 PM #8 | UnfairRepresent posted... Living with a condition doesn't make you an expert on it, what shitty logic.Living with a condition for 10+ years will give you plenty of experience in what works and what doesn't work in symptom management. And not every doctor in general practice is familiar with, or well informed about, rare conditions (my wife has a rare autoimmune disease called Sjgren's syndrome; her GP actually had to resort to looking up the term sialogogue in a medical dictionary during an appointment) -- but that doesn't stop them from rubbishing the research you've done on the work of specialists, because you dared to "go on the Internet". --- Easily manipulated |

Yup and it's no coincidence that it's happening just as WWII is leaving living memory.There was a pendulum swing to the Right in the early 1980s -- a time when most people who'd been alive and in their early twenties during WWII were still only in their early sixties. --- Easily manipulated |
| Topic | The President of the US is literally fighting with a 16 year old girl online |
| Firewerx 12/12/19 4:06:16 PM #13 | The question is, why aren't more Americans embarrassed as fuck that it's actually sunk to the level of utter dogshit like this? That this sort of infantile idiocy seems to be their president's favourite way of pissing away most of his worthless, wasted time in office? Why the fuck don't they want this clown sacked and chucked out on his ass before he can smear any more shit all over the walls of the White House and shame the country even further? I mean, seriously. Jesus Christ. --- Easily manipulated |

So it'd be true to say that in 1967, the last legal barriers anywhere in the US against interracial marriage were torn down by federal law? I'm not American, hence the questions. --- textual predator |

They have the potential to create actual harm, instead of mere irritation over trivial fluff like movie reboots. You could say it's a question of risk containment. Alt-right violence is a direct threat to life and liberty; but at least there are laws that can deter, prevent, or punish such crimes, whereas there seem to be few such sanctions working against the potentially lethal irresponsibility of anti-vaxxers. --- textual predator |

| Firewerx 12/01/19 2:47:06 PM #63 | LinkPizza posted... Yeah. But it was only legalized in like 1967. So there were probably more stares back then...

| Topic | Scenario pre WW2 Hitler is plopped from the timeline |
| Firewerx 11/28/19 4:05:01 PM #17 | Lebronwon posted... Maybe Israel doesn't get created if Holocaust didn't happen. Very unlikely. At the time when the UN General Assembly voted in favour of partitioning Palestine into separate Arab and Jewish states, the Jewish population of Palestine had already reached critical mass without the influx of refugees from former Axis territories in Europe. And emigration from Germany or Austria wasn't the chief source of Jewish population growth in Palestine before the war. But more importantly, the partition resolution had nothing to do with some half-assed idea about compensating the world's Jews for the Holocaust. Instead, it was proposed because a Zionist insurgency threatened to make Palestine ungovernable by the British, who dumped the problem into the lap of the UN; partition into two separate states seemed to be the only long-term political solution to the thorny question of Palestine's future. --- textual predator |
| Topic | what are your thoughts on people who deny the holocaust? |
| Firewerx 11/28/19 3:38:04 PM #61 | ASithLord7 posted... Firewerx posted...coh posted...In a century that was full of genocides, why do they only deny the Holocaust I'm not denying at all. I'm pointing out that Holocaust deniers insist on "absolute proof" of the Nazi extermination of the Jews, yet they don't raise that bar that high for any other genocide. Why not? Because they're not questioning the Holocaust in good faith; instead, the reason why they're working that hard to be that skeptical is because they refuse to sympathize with Jews. --- textual predator |
| Topic | what are your thoughts on people who deny the holocaust? |
| Firewerx 11/27/19 3:59:59 PM #27 | Squall28 posted... What is there to gain from denying the Holocaust? Two things, primarily, and they're both interlinked. Firstly, it softens the image of the Nazis and 'normalizes' their ideology: "Hey, they weren't really that bad, after all! Nazism was just German patriotism, and patriotism's not a dirty word." Secondly, it incites people to believe that Jews should not be trusted because as a people, they are amoral liars whose historical victimhood is a hoax. "Here's a Jewish conspiracy that is real!" --- textual predator |

| Firewerx 11/27/19 3:39:58 PM #26 | coh posted... In a century that was full of genocides, why do they only deny the Holocaust They're people who demand an impossibly high standard of proof for the Nazi Judeocide (forensic examination of exhumed remains of gassing victims, a complete paper trail, painstaking dissection and analysis of statistical methodologies, recorded film of Hitler signing a confession in his own blood, etc etc) -- and they'd probably still reject it anyway. Yet they've no qualms about repeating claims that Stalin murdered ten, twenty, thirty million people, simply on the strength of a sentence they once read somewhere, and they'll stick to it like an article of religious faith. --- textual predator |
| Topic | what are your thoughts on people who deny the holocaust? |
| Firewerx 11/27/19 3:27:08 PM #17 | thanosibe posted... Nothing. Why would I care if someone wants to deny a historically proven event? Because of the purpose that those lies serve, and because they serve it more easily when people just shrug instead of challenging or at least condemning them. Maybe that sounds pompous as fuck, but apathy ain't always the answer. --- textual predator |
