Right here, catching up. And you're wrong about me, at least in this case, because I don't have all the answers. I've seen enough to have the opinion that deniers mostly want Nazism to come back, and even once had the pleasure of talking to a neo-Nazi who insisted that it was all a lie, the Nazis never killed any jews. When I asked what his solution was, he replied "Kill all the lying Jews."

So my question to this guy is the same: Assuming you are right, what is your answer to the problem?

Oh, and Hottentot is doing a great job, so why should I butt in? I haven't even read Mein Kampf. On the other hand I do have a great big book called The Auschwitz Chronical, which contains all the records for the entire existence of that camp. Unfortunately it's currently in my storage. Fortunately I should be moving all that stuff to my apartment tomorrow.

Now I have to risk stepping on some toes, and please remember it's just my opinion. Why is it against the law to deny the holocaust in Europe? I think it's because there is an absolutism hard-wired into the German psyche, that says something must be one thing or the other. I believe that the same gene that led to Nazi intolerance in the first place now leads to absolute intolerance for anything the Nazis did or stood for. I first started thinking this in my early days as a model builder when I would read requests in magazines for German aircraft markings, since European model manufacturers couldn't put swastikas in their kits.

Preposterous? Probably. But my grandmother was from Germany and I see it in myself. But I also have to admit that it's no more likely than horoscopes being true. So I don't know, and no, I don't really believe it. But every time I grind my teeth when someone walks across the street against the light, I wonder about myself.

As to Cosnpiracy Theory, I'll bet he believes this absolutely, and while he tries to get everyone else to question their beliefs, he never questions himself. He's either absolutely convince he's absolutely right, with no room for even a question, or else, as someone pointed out, he's one of our keelhauled trolls returned for some fun.
