In fact, apart from what I write here, you actually know nothing about me. > some of your beliefs have much in common with certain hate groups in the USA. I know nothing about hate groups in the US. My opinions are my own, as I presume yours are. > I was mostly referring to your remarkable suggestion that the holocaust may not have happened. I did not say that or even imply it. I said that six million Jews may not have died, and further, if that is a bone of contention to certain people, which it seems to be, then the facts of history should clear up the matter. In this regard, I only know what I read and I also fail to understand why it should be illegal in certain countries to discuss the matter. You may not believe it, but I am a protagonist of freedom of speech -- and thought. > Have you ever considered how insulting that is to the tens of thousands of GI's who came back from World War II who saw it with their own eyes? Are they all liars in your little world? How insulting is that? My world is no smaller or larger than yours so please don't put me down. These are some references I'm aware of. If you do not accept them then say so but don't try to humiliate me for having a legitimate and, indeed, a scientific query. As I mentioned, I have no religious interest in the matter.rense.com conspiracyplanet.com > It's interesting how you perceive insults from others, but none from yourselves. I belong to no group and I don't know who "yourselves" refers to? If you think there is a kind of clique here you are mistaken, certainly as far as I am concerned. In fact, I debate with everyone. I enjoy it and I feel it is a privilege to be able to do so -- even with you. > Maybe those GI's should be protesting in front of your embassies tomorrow morning. What for? Although I was only a child at the time, I was a great supporter of the US during WW2. And if you think I'm anti-US you are mistaken -- I'm anti the present government because, and for what it's worth, I do not agree with present US policy. > which ones would that be? I'm a South African citizen and I carry no other passport.
