catgate Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 There were photographs taken of people in London, in the time of the Blitz, singing and dancing and having fun. They were not singing and dancing because they were celebrating and enjoying being blown up by the bombs. They were singing and dancing to forget about it all and keep up their spirits.Is it possible that these photographs illustrate something similar, and are now being used by the Holocaust industry, "lest we forget"?

Watchful Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 You could be right there catgate Those pics could have been used as morale boosters for the general population as were all the films churned out at that time.People often play the clown when, inside, their heart is breaking. It helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catgate Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 How far back should we go with this stuff?Should the descendants of the Pilgrim Fathers be forced to view the slaughter of Native Americans?Should we (and others) be compelled to view slavery suffering?Should the Portuguese and Spanish be obliged to watch the slaughter of the Incas and Aztecs?Should the "Israelites" be forced to view the slaughter of the Philistines?

He does not care to show photo's of the victims.So at what point will the constant showing of death and violent crime on television become a deterrent, rather than making death and violent crime "part of normal life" which people will copy.

Besty Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 We all say that we cannot ever allow these acts to occur that it was evil and that we should remember how these poor people were treated at the will of one man. However saying that how many people disagree with ousting a dictator from Iraq and stopping the torture and murder of innocent people? How many people signed up to aid innocent people in africa who were at the mercy of evil men e.g sierra leone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
