    No, I would not say they are persecuted.  I would however, say that punishing Nazi's has reached the point of diminishing returns and perhaps it is even time for people to start looking more forward than backward.  Germany loves beating themselves up to prove they have really changed and the rest of Europe loves bringing Nazism back to the news to remind themselves that Germans are still evil.  It is all kind of petty almost 70 years later I think.  I thought Europe wanted to move on?

    I can understand your point about this subject however the ones who can really “forgive” are the victims. Nazism is still and will indefinitely remain evil just like other people who committed genocides or mass murders : communists, Khmer rouges, Akazu and Interhamwe, etc.You can't just invoke time or “progress” for forgiveness or amnesia.  If you or your close ones were targeted for what you are and not for what you did, you wouldn't even think of tolerance for the executioners, even 70 years after.

    At this point I wouldn't be surprised to see some Europeans want to dig up the graves of war criminals so they can spit on the remains as punishment.  The search for Nazis never ends, witness what they have put Demjanjuk through.

    Would you say that Nazis are persecuted ?

    As for #25, I wonder why the German women were all smiling just months removed from the war.

    While I am against actual slavery, I would question the organization's findings and definitions in the matter.  The reason is that creating a nifty site to make people guilty about participating in free markets sounds like something out of a communist playbook.

    I fully agree as well (but communist or not doesn't seem important to me but freedom more)

    I don't know if you appreciate that kind of humor but there is a buzz about a recent event involving a university police officer from Davis University, becoming quite funnyhttp://boingboing.net/2011/11/20/occupy-lulz.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmJmmnMkuEM&feature=player_embedded http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iU7y81FBxu4&feature=player_embedded#!

    Supposedly. the sex trade is where most (if not all) chattel slaves work these days.  The rest that the survey counts are “so-called” wage slaves that don't make income according to western standards for their labor.  Kind of a Marxist guilt trip, if you ask me.

    I fully agree

    I finally took the survey as well and I have 22 slaves (only) working for me, most of them in China (which is a delightful feeling  😉 )As you noted I didn't understand the “paid for sex” either … (is that a kind of standard ?)

    Omer
    Participant

    I can't believe that they would actually put up a memorial that looks like crematoria chimneys, or they would turn out smoke that was supposed to smell like charred flesh. Sounds like super bad taste.  Is that in Berlin? 

    This is in Boston, New England.http://www.nehm.org/intro.html The design utilizes uniquely powerful symbols of the Holocaust. The Memorial features six luminous glass towers, each 54 feet high. The towers are lit internally to gleam at night. They are set on a black granite path, each one over a dark chamber which carries the name of one of the principal Nazi death camps. Smoke rises from charred embers at the bottom of these chambers. Six million numbers are etched in glass in an orderly pattern, suggesting the infamous tattooed numbers and ghostly ledgers of the Nazi bureaucracy. Evocative and rich in metaphor, the six towers recall the six main death camps, the six million Jews who died, or a menorah of memorial candles. Fortunately there is no “I'm Lovin it” signs cause of that fume … (I'm ironic, no offense intended but I don't really understand the very reason for the fume)

    Now that you say it, I don't think I have ever heard any interview with anyone who knew Obama during his college years.

    A new conspiracy ?

    Scout is right and I confirm that Polish cavalry charging panzers is a total myth but a nazi propaganda forgery:The column below repeated a myth of the second world war, fostered by Nazi propagandists, when it said that Polish lancers turned their horses to face Hitler's panzers. There is no evidence that this occurred.History is not bunk. It is a glorious seam of human experience from which leaders can seek guidance on their present conduct. But its parallels are never exact and are easy to distort, while its lessons are quarrelsome. http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/sep/01/afghanistan-war-on-terror-history Unsurprisingly such cavalry charges were quite successful against infantry unitshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_cavalry#Cavalry_charges_and_propaganda
