I believe it was another 6 million people who were gypsies, Jehovah's Witnesses, Slavs, mentally retarded individuals, "political prisoners" (i.e. people who opposed the Third Reich), homosexuals, and the physically disabled whom were added into the equation alongside the Jews.
That made me think of something, so I shall throw a spanner in the works
and say what is not politically correct...
In today's Western "civilised" society, we will murder the young, infants in the womb. We will murder the old, under the glossy name of "euthanasia". We will murder the terminally ill, supposedly out of "mercy". We will now murder those who are in a serious condition but still with a possibility of recovery.
Take Terry Schiavo as an example. Terry Schiavo's death was murder. Not only was it murder, but it was a barbaric form of murder, i.e., starvation. Not only was it a barbaric murder, but the instruments involved in it were people who ought to be saving and treating human life, not destroying it, i.e., staff in the hospital.
Terry was an ordinary person who had an eating disorder; it was for this reason, at the end of the day, that she was killed. She was a helpless, yet innocent and still very much alive, person. The selfishness of mankind that he should murder those who are a burden to society!
I can hardly understand the blindness of those who will say that we are a civil society when we murder the defenceless, helpless members of our society. These are the people that need our best protection. And yet we look back on Nazi Germany with such apparent sorrow for the atrocities that society committed against its members!
Just what came to mind.
