CN2's song of the decade? - Heavy glow - Hot mess

Bit late, but just to add: I am one of these unfortunate people who personally knows someone who denies the holocaust ever happened. To hold that veiwpoint infuriates me, and the argument that 'the Jews made it up' doesn't hold water, as there were millions of victims that weren't massacred because they were Jews, but because of other reasons. So that's more parties who would agree it happened, and it is not some great conspiracy.

I just watched The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas last night, quite an interesting little flick.

If I knew anyone like that, I'd personally beat the crap outta them. It is the single most pointless, damaging, senseless viewpoint a person can have.

Grrr.

They just do it to get a rise out of people, and get attention. Best you can do is ignore them, like a little kid, eventually they get bored and leave.
