But I told you: I wouldn't buy a German car so long as there are still Holocaust survivors around. I care more about not making an old person feel bad at synagogue than I do about a car. It's not a forever ban.

but Holocaust are left and right nowadays. we can't take a stand for all of them. what US is doing to Iraq is also a sort of Holocaust.

And your point is......?

I wouldn't blame an Iraqi if they chose to only buy Japanese cars.

War does not equate to holocaust.

Unless they come up with evidence of us systematically killing off civilians, your statement is absurd.

If we really wanted to kill all the Iraqis, we would have little trouble doing so.

nah, no point, just a statement. what do you drive?

why don't you tell me what holocaust is then.

[Junket]

why don't you tell me what holocaust is then.

1. a great or complete devastation or destruction, esp. by fire.
2. a sacrifice completely consumed by fire; burnt offering.
3. (usually initial capital letter) the systematic mass slaughter of European Jews in Nazi concentration camps during World War II (usually prec. by the).
4. any mass slaughter or reckless destruction of life.

I would add that anymore it's virtually synonymous with genocide.

.....what?

[Indignant]

.....what?

exactly my point

[Junket]

Somebody needs to translate for me because I don't understand nonsense.

[Indignant]

then quit saying nonsense

[Lipp]

Dissolving the argument into irrelevant statements doesn't make your case, Indig.

[misombra]

what the hell is all this crap?

[Gribble]

My brain hurts from reading this page.

[Mish]

I came here on Fras's request.

Indig, war is not holocaust. US troops are not systematically hunting down and slaughtering Iraqis to wipe them out and colonize their land. Perhaps they could if they really wanted, but they don't. Of course, it doesn't mean that what they are doing is still not wrong, but it still doesn't equate to a systematic genocide indulged by the Nazis.
