Guest guest Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 Hi Lynda I want to make it clear....I wasn't calling this woman a Nazi! I was making a comparison. When someone denies every photo, every film, every written word on what is happening to animals I think it feels the same as to me as it would feel to her if she cane across someone who denied the Holocaust. I am not saying she is denying the Holocaust...I am comparing the defense mechanism...I think they are very similar. Both deny the truth for their own psychological needs. Also, both truths are so self evident, it's totally baffles that someone would deny it. I think I did use reason here. Soliel In a message dated 8/4/05 11:49:36 P.M.

The truth is the truth - winning an argument with people like that is a forlorn hope anyway, so you may as well tell them the truth and give them something to think about.

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 I wasn't addressing you specifically but discourse in general and the use of the word Hollocaust. By choosing to use that word it is no different than choosing to use the word Nazi. It stops conversation and has been used for years to do just exactly that. Do you buy all organic? Do you drive a gas driven vehicle? Do you vaccinate your children? Do you buy anything made or built in a 3rd world country? Do you recycle? Do you use teflon, plastics, aluminum, wood? You don't have time? It's too far away? It is too expensive? They are too hard to find/do? If I tell you that your reasons for doing or not doing any of the above are only excuses and not valid and that makes you just as responsible for death and destruction of this planet as any Nazi during the Hollocaust, that you were refusing to face reality and the truth, you would not respond possitively. I was simply making a point that using the word Hollocaust doesn't work. It was nothing against you personally.
