@ dieAntagonista Thank you, I apologize if my comment was insensitive, I myself am of Irish, German,Iroquois, Colombian, Dutch, French descent, a real American mutt and as such I have a hard time getting behind anyones cultural or ethnocentric bias. I find Nationalism, and Patriotism to distract from Humanism and gives selfish people the excuse they need to look down on others. I guess I'm an idealist with regards to the solution concerning generational violence, it's almost too simple, one should merely treat others with the deference and respect that they would desire for themselves, whatever their ethnic or national history might be. It is basic logic that even children can understand. the problem as I see it is when people get greedy and then look for ways to benefit from the denigration of another human being, and they feel justified in their actions because they have convinced themselves that their victim is less than human and they often use (questionable) historical stereotypes as evidence to support their flawed case. We can all agree that nobody has an answer to the problems of the world, But I don't believe that punishing or rewarding future generations for what we do now, will help them to forgive our bloody past. And punishing or rewarding certain elements of society NOW for the tragic history of human civilization doesn't make it any easier for us to all get along with each other.

@ dieAntagonista I hope you're are not directing that comment in my direction. if you're as jewish as you say you ought to know what to Kvetch means, thats all I was saying. The art of complaining is built into the hebrew language giving Jewish (not JEWS) people an edge when it comes to making their point of view persist. What I've been discussing with nyokki isn't whether or not the holocaust happened, or even whether or not the history should be taught, but whether or not mere awareness is enough to prevent such evil from taking place again. I posit that mere awareness is insufficient because we can plainly see that this shit is still happening all over the world in one form or another despite vigorous education of the past. AND that I also don't believe I or my children owe anyone for the actions of long dead people I have no relation to, simply because of where I was born.

but the fact is the holocaust isn't the only genocide that gets discussed, it's simply the one that gets talked about the most, but then again Jewish people are known for and proud of their penchant for complaining, i'm not trying to imply anything anti-semetic, simply hypothesizing on the reason for other human injustices being below most peoples radar. furthermore the knowledge of human-kinds bloody history has done little to stem the flow of new atrocities, which leads me to believe mere awareness of the past is not enough, and maybe even unnecessary as far as communicating the importance of not murdering vast numbers of people, no matter what the rationalization. there has got to be something more to what allows basically good people to knowingly commit heinous crimes, than a lack of awareness of history.

@ nyokki well if someone breaks the rules, we certainly should not attempt to make their grandchildren or great grandchildren have to answer for it. Or even bear the moral burden of their progenitors illicit behavior. We should allow these descendants the opportunity to prove their own integrity and not automatically hang the onus of the past upon them because of their genetic lineage.

Arrggh!!! It's all the bibles fault. When will we learn!!! BOOKS ARE DANGEROUS. because we all know the average literate human isn't equipped to separate the good information from the useless information. DAMN YOU WORDS!!
Comment on Wehrmacht (2008-12-18 12:57:55)
@nyokki History is written by the victors. In my humble opinion that makes history fairly biased. I guess what I'm trying to say is that acknowledging and understanding the holocaust and other massive human tragedies, still does not address the problem of an entire society rationalizing the oppression (or systematic eradication) of an entire people. we've had this knowledge for at least 50 years, yet murder is still condoned for A or B reason by almost every governing body on the earth. The zero we need to start from is the uniform agreement across the board that it is never EVER o.k. to behave thusly. Yes I personally am aware and acknowledge the bloody tapestry of human history, but I would like to think that it is possible to understand why genocide is never an option, even if you are unaware that is has actually happened( as many children are). I'm not saying ignore history, I'm saying we should not be made to suffer unduly because of it. the Evil has passed, we should let it go and focus on the wonderful NOW we are lucky to have.

@nyokki don't worry your little head, I AM over myself. America is a nation of immigrants. Most of these New Americans (1950 onward)had nothing to do with White Americas shitty history. why should all americans pay for the misdeeds of a few long dead chumps. Find the rich schmucks whose family fortune is a result of american history and ask them for a hand out. but keep your white guilt out of my ethnically diverse federal government. I'm only part white and my non-white half doesn't want to pay for your grandfathers bigotry. conceptually speaking getting screwed over for being weak and stupid is almost a law of nature. defend yourself or die. don't buy microsoft products or colorful beads from white guys otherwise you get what you deserve. the world is REAL and DANGEROUS i HAVE moved past the history of the U.S.A. I suggest America do the same. native americans got a raw deal but they themselves didn't believe in the ownership of the physical land our nation is built on. so technically it wasn't stolen from them. There is not a black man alive in the united states today that can use slavery and segregation as an excuse for why they don't have as much as their neighbor. I personally have friends who moved from Africa to america in the last 25 years and they are doing very well, why are the descendants of slaves less capable than a modern african immigrant? why should mexican americans have anything to do with your laundry list of dirty deeds that WE americans need to make up for. What this country needs is a historical BAILOUT, start from zero. Why do we need to remember the evil that men did in the past in order to know evil is not O.K.? Bigotry,hate, and general meanness is not O.K. O.K.? Whether or not anyone knows about six million dead jews or the poor (casino owning, heritage shirking) native americans or the downtrodden black american or three million dead filipinos ( bet you didn't know about that one) evil is evil is evil and it's not O.K. no matter what is in the history books.

we are trying to make up for it. WHY? I am responsible for my actions alone. I will not support any initiative that seeks recompense from me for the actions of assholes I have nothing to do with, just because I was born in the U.S.A.. My contribution to the world right now is to refrain from personally killing people I don't like and stealing their stuff. WE DID A NUMBER. no WE didn't, not you not me or anyone you will ever know. If you gotta preach history FINE, but don't try to assign blame generations after the fact, because it only helps to keep us divided.

so the lazy uneducated 3rd generation factory worker, who makes 35 dollars an hour to install the rubber lining in the windows, and continues to receive top dollar 25 years after retirement has nothing to do with the big threes inability to turn a profit?
