    Total lack of education and common sense both. If you were not so ignorant you'd realize what falsehoods you preach.
    Your a very hateful person if your post are any example of your attitude towards others.

    I agree I am ignorant of any falsehoods I "preach". Perhaps you can enlighten me?

    And yes, I am a very hateful person. I hate bigots and racists with extreme passion and unmitigated prejudice.

    Then stop being a bigot racist. I think nations can live in peace and be friends and visit each other like the birds do. But not in the same nation. Look at the whites, blacks latinos, arabs, jews now in this nation.
    A squabbling bunch of I'm right your wrong divisions. Where if we traded ,visited and helped each other without changing who any of us are there would be more peace. Proven fact.

    RE:
    You've said the same thing quite frequently.

    In order to hate someone, you have to care about them & what they say. I have no use for bigots & racists but don't care enough about them to pay attention to what they have to say.
    I know none, I spend no time with any and I don't go looking for them.

    Hate is a burden & generally does more damage to the hater than to the hated.

    I'm not advocating standing by and allowing a racist to bully someone as I have a history of protecting weaker people from bullies but I don't spend my day carrying a load of hate around.

    Absolutely untrue. I frigging hate nazis and care more for pond scum than them.


    fortunately in my case, expressing my hatreds is emotionally and intellectually cleansing.

    Its all in how you use it.

    It sounds like you've got your hate nicely focused & managed so I hate to complicate it.

    Israel has an award for Nazis & others who risked their lives & the lives of their families called the "Righteous Among the Nations". There are currently over 20,000 recipients of that award.

    If anyone deserves to hate Nazis it would be Yisrael Fruman however, he has a picture of one hanging on his wall at home.
    So, if you met the Nazi soldier, Gerhard Kurzbach, knowing that he had the outstanding courage to risk his life to save at least one Jew, would you regard him as "pond scum'?

    EXCERPT "A photograph of a Nazi soldier(Gerhard Kurzbach) on the wall of a Holocaust survivor’s home is not a common sight. But recently, Yisrael Fruman, an 84-year-old survivor who lives in Haifa, hung such a photo on his wall. Fruman's grandchildren first saw the photo in a feature published in Haaretz five months ago, titled "How a Wehrmacht soldier was recognized as Righteous Among the Nations."CONTINUED

    We both know that the vast majority of german soldiers weren't nazis, unless they were SS.

    I am well aware of the righteous amongst nations. there are some 580 germans on the list of 26,120

    I know all of this and already looked at the Wikipedia entry but according to the article I cited, Gerhard Kurzbach was a member of the Nazi party as were many others who saved Jews.

    You're right, about the vast majority of German soldiers not being Nazis. In fact, at its height, only about 10% of the entire German population were members of the Nazi party.

    My question remains, would you still hate Nazis who risked their lives to save Jews?

    I agree in that one is unlikely to change someone's opinions about another race, creed, nationality etc once they've made up their mind.

    However, I think it's important to remember that there good & bad people in all backgrounds, yes, even Nazis:

    Surely you've seen white people criticize their own culture, have you not?
