Was that the reason? The reasons for starting were adventure and riches. I see the supriority idea as something more nineteenth century.

Came from evolution and the desire to "civilise" the lesser races. And you've also got to remember that the colonisation lark really took off then.

IRAN'S largest selling newspaper announced today it was holding a contest on cartoons of the Holocaust in response to the publishing in European papers of caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed.


Wow. I mean funny pictures of God are a little light compared to making fun of jews being gased to death... What assholes.

haha. Well, I support free speech in all its forms. Doing it on purpose to piss off the West is pretty stupid. Personally, I think we're way too touchy-feely about the holocaust anyway. I mean, like WWII, anyone that actually witnessed it is either really freakin' old or dead. I think it's time we came to terms with it.

My opinion is - yes it happened and I feel that it shouldn't happen again- we should keep reminding ourselves about it but not to allow people a moral blank cheque. Finally, considering the age of the people- I think Satis is right and we should not demand apologies from the Germans. At the same time tho, people shouldn't deny its existence as it did happen and it was one of the worst genocides plus it has taught us a lot about human rights...

sure, I'll agree there. Recognize it happened and was a horrible thing, but don't get all freaky about it. Ditto about alot of other PC points...women's rights, black rights/slavery, equal opportuinity, discrimination (in all its forms)...if people weren't afraid of it, it wouldn't be a damned problem.

Yea, do you feel the same way about slavery?

The aim of the Nazis was exterminating Jews, the aim of slave traders was making a lot of money. That's quite a big difference.

I agree it's different.

But I agree that the whole slavery thing needs to go away. That's even older than the holocaust. We haven't had slavery in the US in over 100 years.

But I'm known for being a bit politically incorrect. :p

I was just about to post something on that "competition".

Im getting rather cheesed off. I constantly see piss-takes of the chrisitian religion, yet i do not see christian fundamentalists protesting in London. Furthermore, i think that holocaust cartoon jokes are more of a "bad-joke" than mohammad cartoons. Mainly because of the deaths.

You're not the only, moderates can't really take any sides now because they've been highjacked by extremists.

haha, that's awesome. Americans will find a way to profit off of anything.

Meh, I'm kinda bored with all this bs. I say we arm all our embassy guards with M60s and rocket launchers and leave it at that.
