Pet Shop Boy, I thought you did not agree with things having clear definitions ?pet shop boy wrote:The definition of holocaust is destruction or slaughter on a mass scale.
You do seem to be skilled at taking passionate issues, and winding folk up.
Arguing definitions on others web postings, is so easy.
It is not clever ; it is just disruptive.
There are a few topics where Wikipedia has been censored.
But on the whole, it is a good online reference.
It is easy for someone to find whacko web pages to support any whacko idea.
But quoting/linking Wiki is a good way of saying, here is what the majority say.
It keeps online debates, sensible.
On original topic, I think some people are open minded and fair, while others
are rigid and dogmatic by nature (or is it nurture ?).
The latter type seem to congregate to right wing parties and philosophies
and never, ever, learn anything new.
Being dogmatic undermines ones own argument.
And being opened minded is its own reward.
