Did it happen?
Yes but i also don't care. It was all because of one persons actions and you can't balme a whole country for that.
Read more about the holocaust before making such an ignorant statement.Quote:

One statement comes to show how people have forgotten about something that happened just 60 years ago, something that happened in a "civilized and modern" society.
I used to laugh and joke around about Nazis and Jews, spray-painting swastikas on school buildings and laughing about it; I regret it whole-heartedly now. If this Holocaust shit was never to happen again, people have to get involved by just knowing what happened and the main causes of the event to prevent a future genocide. For all we know, some French-hating maniac could rise to power tomorrow in the US wipe out all the hot French girls in the next month. That would be a real tragedy. Don't tell me the shit about the US being a democracy and shit like that can't happen, because Germany had a democracy as well, and Hitler still rose to power and made Germany a dictorship.
Why did you even create this poll Seedler??

And it seems that our education system here will not touch history subjects like that, you have to dig up info on your own which a lot of people don't do here. I didn't even know about the genocide in Rwanda until my dad told me about it like 4 years ago. After learning of that, I went out and did my own research on other touchy subjects that most people probably don't want to bother to learn. Examples are Chechnya, Bosnia, Sierra Leon, Sri Lanka, Liberia, etc.Quote:

Sometimes In April has more :O moments in it.
If Rwanda had oil, America would have been there. Point in fact.
Alas, they were just black Africans.
Oh but we are helping the Iraqi people against terrorists that we lured to Iraq.
Plus it's in the wrong section.Quote:
