I started a thread below about the Terry case in the expectation that it was possible to have a mature debate about such issues. Having seen some of the posts below, mostly admittedly from... more
should not be for the topic, it should be for the view that an example of racism wasn't worthy of going to court. i suggest you study your GCSE history, and see how easy it is for racism to develop... more
from religious intolerence adopted by the Nazis, maybe you should read an understand history more than at GCSE level rather than spouting off bullshit.
If You Are Going To Get Into Some Sort Of "Body Count" — Eddie Monsoon,Tue Jul 10 12:14
Hitler about 11 million if you take systematic killing, 60 million in the war as a whole. I don't believe there's been any systematic slaughter through capitalism but I understand your sentiment.
It was clearly racist. If you had any knowledge of history you would know this. People weren't "just" killed if they were practicing Jews - they were also killed if they had Jewish parents or even... more
the disabled, were systematically killed by the Nazis, race wasn't fundamental to the Nazi ideal, the SS, being Jewish is not racial, it's religious intolerance and you should know and understand the ... more
That is evident from your liberal use of the racist label. People like you are no better than those you attack. You distort history then throw around accusations when you're found wanting.
namely the Anons who go by the main IPs of 90.212.24.197 and 90.200.33.21 I suggest we don't bother pandering to their miserable existences by bothering to reply to them. They're either very... more
regarding your assertion that Heritage is nothing to do with colour. If that were so, then why have Black history month, MOBO, Black police Officer's Association etc. Are you going to answer or... more
being able to answer what to me is a simple question. I'm sure it's frustrating when you make a pillock of yourself, you have nobody to blame for that but yourself i'm afraid.
here you go: "i suggest you study your GCSE history, and see how easy it is for racism to develop into pure evil if "less serious" incidents become acceptable in the mainstream". There isn't a topic... more
have you chosen to refer to one of the tiny minority of times when white people are the victim? How could you possibly accuse other people of being selective? We both know that black people have... more
old could answer. The other atrocities in Africa were not race related, they were tribal, the white farmers in Zimbabwe as with Apartheid in South Africa, were clearly race related. What did YOU and... more
You approach history with an overly simplistic one-sided view while accusing others of doing the same. You ask irrelevant questions, which do not forward any kind of argument but merely distract.... more
written then you would see that it's far from a one-sided view as you claim or indeed simplistic. I think, compared you you and others, I've gone to great pains to explain my position and to clarify... more
you are expressing your opinion as if it were fact. GCSE History teaches you to look at things from different viewpoints. You have a closed mind, and lack empathy. And yes, what you have written is... more
All you've done is come back with one or two lines regarding GCSEs. I thought that anon's explanations were quite interesting, but then that's only my opinion.
The "GCSE" reference is that Hitler/Nazis usually comes up on the syllabus there, rather than it being any comment on the "level" of historical knowledge. It's a warning from history, that casual... more
If it were solely nationalism that Hitler wanted then why would he go to such great lengths to create the third Reich (empire)? To suggest that the Nazis were brought about by 'casual' racism is... more
but I am judging that in my opinion you are racist/trolling. You will come back with 'but you are racist and I am not' and 'how can be' blah blah. All that really matters in this debate is that I am... more
to distort facts, what assertion do you have that I am racist? You can't enter into a conversation because for to long people of your ilk have been able to throw labels at others without... more
In fact it's very important that such issues are debated and discussed and IMO it's unhealthy to do otherwise. I just wonder as to your motives for raising it.
