Hey, BTO. Who are you picking in big game tonight? The line is Alabama by 5. I say Alabama by 3.
Post #513 was to DBO. Por Dios!
Please read carefully:
What you posted is known as a fallacy.
The likelihood is that only a small fraction of Germans or even Nazis knew about the extermination of Jews when it happened in 1942-44. They certainly weren't asked to approve it. The activists who carried it out concealed it precisely because they knew it would not be approved of.
Now you will say: but they approved of annexing most of Europe, etc. Possibly - in some cases even probably - but it happened in 1939-45 when Hitler's megalomania was taking off, and nobody asked the people to approve it.
I am not a Nazi apologist, far from it, but I believe in trying to understand what happened, not spouting glib "truisms".
Truisms are never glib, that is the nature of truisms.
"Those who supported A.H. supported the murder of 6 million Jews and the illegal annexation of most of Europe and an attempt to rule the world."
They supported this wittingly or unwittingly. There was no way to conceal the atrocities. Not all knew but many did.
Of course, I have already said, in the first sentence, that the annexation of most of Europe etc.
Frank, have you been to Europe?

I spent three years in Spain and traveled extensively. Best food was in southern France, I did not get up north in France.
Lived on Sebastian Elcano in Los Remedios in Sevilla (Seville). Spain is a country llena de gracia (full of grace).
I've lived in four countries, Spain, Canada, P.R and C.R. Loved them all.

Haven't done a lot of traveling outside the country. Several visits to Caribbean Islands (Jamaica, PR, St. Martit). Love 'em all.
My travel in Europe was courtesy of the USAF. Two years at SAC bases in the UK. Terrific country...especially since my interests involve history and archeology. Spent time at several digs in Southern UK...pre-history sites. I visited London often...and probably spent as much time in the Tower as Walter Raleigh.
In Italy I toured Pompeii...and was fortunate enough to spend time at a new dig in the Egyptian area of the city.
In Rome I managed to do something I still take pride in...even with my agnosticism. I served Mass in St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican. I also attended a general audience with Pope Pius Xii at Castel Gondolfo.
In Germany I spent some time in Bavaria. Went to the top a mountain with a clear view of Hitler's Eagles Nest in Berchtesgaden...so I've actually seen that place.

"When government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny."
A lie doesn't become the truth, wrong doesn't become right, and evil doesn't become good just because it is accepted by a majority.

Was in Germany but not near Berchtesgaden. Beautiful people but I did not care for the cuisine.
My time in Europe was contract work pertaining to aviation. Took a one year Spanish Language and Spanish History class at the University of Seville (non-transferable credits).
I spent 30 years at the FAA ATL ATCT. Did some research on the ARTS 11 Radar.
Agnostic? Interesting. We are all agnostics in one sense. We really don't know.
You misunderstood. The proposed definition would mean the word could only actually apply to a single thing in all of history. It's a bit like saying that the definition of "mammal" is "a dog wearing a yellow bandana and catching frisbees during the half-time show of the Arkansas division one state championship football game." That's a silly definition. So, what would you propose as a more serious definition of "collusion"?
