Sun, 12 Oct 2008 22:08:20 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.1.2 By: Kate S. http://www.ericbrooks.com/soapbox/the-passion-of-the-rosenbergs/#comment-1316 Kate S. Tue, 30 Nov 1999 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.ericbrooks.com/soapbox/the-passion-of-the-rosenbergs/#comment-1316 Thank you for introducing us to the "Rosenbergs" Eric. That was very sweet of you. I wish I could give them both a hug and a peck on the cheek. With all this denial going on, I too worry about the last eye witnesses leaving this plane. They are the last hope to convince. But ... in a perfect world, we shouldn't have a need for them to convince, should we? So you are right, nothing will change the racism and denial and blame game. In the end they are all just looking for any excuse to spend their huge bank accounts of hatred on, even purchasing tiny pieces of the tunic or cross from cons, if it looks like it will sit pretty on the mantelplace. Symbols to keep the snarling, drooling dogs of Pavlov juiced up on hatred. Happy Passover, Happy Easter, Happy Life Thank you for introducing us to the “Rosenbergs” Eric. That was very sweet of you. I wish I could give them both a hug and a peck on the cheek.

Upon reading about Holocaust Denial, it seems like they pick flimsy straw man arguments to claim the Holocaust was impossible... the sad part is that these folks REALLY DO know that the Holocaust was real, but it gives them a sense of "empowerment" knowing they can inflict this pain and make Jews relive a nightmare. Sick stuff. All the best to you and your family Kate, Happy (all of the days listed above) to you too! Thanks Kate.

Tue, 30 Nov 1999 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.ericbrooks.com/soapbox/the-passion-of-the-rosenbergs/#comment-1318 I don't feel any well thinking human being, Christain or not should go around carrying hatred for people because of what their forefathers did/might have done. At the same time that I say this, I might add that it may be easy for me to say so, as I am not aware that my forefathers experienced any sort of injustices from others, but I could be wrong. Yes, slavery as it existed in the Caribbean was unfair to black people. But, individuals need to transcend these issues (not necessarily forget them, they did happen) and learn to accept people for what they are. I don't think it is right to raise children with the idea that all whites are wicked because of slavery. I agree with you that the Passion of the Christ should not result in an upsurgence of anti Semitism. Mel Gibson just wanted to make a very graphic representation of what occurred and he succeeded. It wan't meant to target anyone. Happy Passover, Happy Easter, Happy whatever you call it. Let's strive for a world where we can learn to respect the beliefs of others (even if we may not agree with them), and stand up for what is right and good for all. (Naturally, this is an ideal situation that is far easier said than done.) More good thoughts here -=e=- :-) I don’t feel any well thinking human being, Christain or not should go around carrying hatred for people because of what their forefathers did/might have done.

Sometimes i think people just look for excuses to breed hate and malcontent towards groups of people who do not think exactly as they do. Instead of respecting anothers position, or at least trying to see it, it apparently is easier to attack, deny something happened, and then spew nasty words and hateful thoughts. Happy Easter, Eric.

(See? I knew you were a Jew at heart! *g*) But if you keep it up, you're going to grossly destroy your reputation as evil incarnate on the blogosphere - and then what will the (bloggy) neighbors think? Oy! Happy Easter, my friend - to all of you! And extra {{HUGS}} for the kids! That was an incredibly touching post! (See? I knew you were a Jew at heart! *g*)
