Britain invented the concentration camp.

i hate the Germans because they make out 2 world wars didnt happen and the millions of jews who were gassed braught it on themselfs.

What 'Germans' have you been talking to?

You're more likely to find people in England who will claim that than you are in Germany.

Sorry to comment on this again after other people have but this sort of made-up claim really makes me angry, something like the Holocaust could easily have happened anywhere, like England.

 I'm impressed....the most ill thought out post in the history of the TEF.

That was worded pretty badly and not explained at all, but I can't be bothered to explain what I was trying to say. It made sense at the time.

Germany is one of the most liberal countries I've ever been to, probably due to the events of The Holocaust.

Apart from a few knuckle dragging neo nazis, Germans are more well informed than most nationalities about what happened in the death camps, as it forms part of their educational syllabus (Or did).

Ask your average 12-16 year old in this country about it and they probably wouldn't have a fucking clue what you're on about.

Frankly Herthab, asking most average 12-16 year olds in this country about anything is a waste of time, unless the subject matter involves drugs, fags, booze and sex.........

Hmm, massive generalisation alert!

Britain invented the concentration camp.

Not true, it was the Spainsh in Cuba, a few years before the British camps in South Africa (I assume you are refering to those, however, if you are referring to earlier camps, then you may be right).

[Simon Pieman]

Didn't the Yanks first use them? They weren't called Concentration Camps though. My history knowledge is shit though.

[donkey]

Not heard the Yanks thrown up as a first before.  Of course, it is important to realise the different between a concentration camp and an extermination camp.  The sole purpose of an extermination camp was to kill people.  I don't think the Nazis minded if people died in the concentration camps, however.

[ron dodgers]

no it fuckin' well would not have !

Also I predict an Arctic Oil Expedition War.

Hmmn., not exactly the most revolutionary prediction I'v ever heard.  I'm sure I was reading about this possibility in the press not so long ago.  Canada and Russia are already at loggerheads about this, by all accounts.

[flammableBen]

Yeah well I can't read, so that's still a good prediction.
