" ... lose their shock value...it's a cheap shot "

What we are witnessing is the effectiveness of proposing a viewpoint that is so askew from conventional wisdom that people refuse to let it lie ... no matter how ludicrous. However this is a rule driven thread and there is no rule against proposing ludicrous viewpoints. I also see no real benefit in arguing with them. Does anyone want to argue with me about the insidiousness of proposing spinach as a super strength aid that will enable you to topple the biggest bullies ... danged Popeye cartoons!!!!

Richnorth is our resident conspiracy theorist and anti-establishment anarchist. That can be quite entertaining, including some of the reactions he gets. But the thread was designed to advance discussion in a growth oriented fashion. I hope to increase my knowledge and awareness on key issues of our day.

The holocaust events are well established and documented by corroborating and credible sources as fact. There could be an argument that some aspects of the holocaust have been exploited for gain by certain political groups or leaders, but whether or not it was atrocious is not a question in the minds of rational individuals.
