While I realise this thread is a parody, watching a movie is one thing, nothing compares to actuatly being inside a concentration camp. I think that walking through Dachau has been one of the most sobering experiences of my life. I can't even imagine how it was when the Nazi's were in power.
Agrred, I went to Stutthof in Poland and while it wasn't one of the main Jewish camps, it was still quite an experience.

I'm chinese but I don't hate the Japanese people for what their gov't did during WWII. I guess you can draw the same distinction between Nazis and Germans.
In fact, I appreciate their contribution of hentai anime and bukkake.

Actually US schools are prone to exaggerate what happened to Indians.
Fact of the matter is. Spain killed for more Indians in what is now America, than anyone else. Followed by Britain, the the US.
Another fact is, the native population of north america was in a steep decline when the americas were discovered.
Then theres the popular thought that early settlers spread disease on purpose to kill the Indians. This just isnt the case, and infact the settlers died off in large chuncks as well, most early groups were wiped out by diseases from Indians.
Yes its horrible what happened to the natives. And the slaves.
But everyone knocks the US for it, when infact the US did it to a lesser extent compared to our European counterparts.

You're confusing Germany with Japan. Germany has been very open about their role in WWII and has willingly paid tens of billions of dollars in reparations to the Jews. Any Nazi propaganda and symbols is banned and, directly following the war, German civilians were forced to tour and clean up the concentration camps. They basically do everything but beat themselves over the head with crowbars to appease the Jews and the world for their actions in WWII.
Japan, on the other hand, likes to deny the atrocities it committed in WWII and teaches their children that the atomic bombings were basically unprovoked.
No it makes me hate the...um..."people that control the media" that played Schindler's List on prime time television UNCUT with all the FULL nudity, sex, language, and violence, and then were OUTRAGED at Janet Jackson's 2 second shot of a boob that wasn't fully exposed. I mean WTF is that about? It's funny, they played Saving Private Ryan uncut too....hmmmm. I wonder what these two movies have in common.

Are you a coward for letting your Gov't kill Iraqis/Afghanis then? I guess so

There's a thing called taste. How can you compare Janet's tit exposure to Schindler's List?

No, it made me hate the Nazis (as if most people already didn't).
I too have German blood in me, and it's certainly not fair to feel disdain for the country as a whole. Those German's who did speak out were killed. Remember, Hitler gained power through legal means. For that reason when "questionable" dissapearances happened to individuals, many people were less likely to point their fingers. Many other people would rather keep their mouths shut, and their lives. And many others were simply brainwashed and swept along by herd-mentality.
