It's been decades since I investigated Hitler's motives. Other than as a political lever that for some diobolical reason always seems to work, I can't find a rational reason for his or anyone else's anti semitism on this scale, tho' the misbehavior of individuals and localized groups of any identification will always generate emnity.

Watching "The Wonderful Horrible Life of Leni Riefenstahl", a Russian version of a production compiled from various sources. The interviews with her are subtitled in English.

Additionally, successful minority is the easy scapegoat. In Europe the
Jews often find themselves targeted because of their different religious
practices, enormous academic success, deep involvement with social issues
and their association with banking.

It is ironic that the word "scapegoat" is derived from Jewish religious practice.

If you drill down far enough you usually don't hit rational reasons.

True!

Rwanda...the slaughter of nearly 1 million in a short time span utilizing
mainly machete...no need for guns.

Finished the subtitled Russian edition of the forementioned film. Highly recommended for anyone interested in her career and her times.

Watched some interviews with Hanna Reitch, one of the best aircraft pilots ever to fly.

You Americans simply adore the Barking Monster...

Auction house Sanders in Los Angeles sold two signed copies of "Mein Kampf" for 40000 Euros. Last year similar copies had been sold for 64000 Euros.

What are these guys doing with that crap? Getting a moist crotch while looking at the signature? They can't read the books even if they understand German because it is written in Fraktur (German type / Gothic type).

Again, a broad-brush disparagement of Americans.

I could say 'you Germans simply adore negative stereotypes based on religion or nationality,' but that would be a very wrong thing to say. I'm sure the truth is some do, some don't.

I'm not sure why there is such magic in 'tokens of celebrity' for some people, but the phenomena is hardly unique to Americans.

Sir, it is time for you to notice emoticons and interprete them correctly instead of being huffy. Do I disparage Americans? So what I am doing here in this totally American forum? Posting 1365 times?????????????????????



You did not read my post carefully enough: I did not write "What are YOU guys..." but "What are THESE guys..." which should, togehter with the used smilies, clarify the actual attitude expressed in my first sentence!

For you, donquixote99, the modified post:

Some Americans simply adore The Barking Monster...
