[QUOTE="Lil, post: 654821, member: 17309"] I agree with this. Please don't think I think this man wasn't abused. I think he probably was terribly abused. But some of the things he says are things that would likely kill, not just injure. That's what makes people skeptical. I think that perhaps they are misremembered or exaggerated, as I said, like when you go back to your childhood home and you think, "Wow! I remember it all being bigger." Then again, there are (regrettably) regularly stories in the news where authorities have found some 40 lb 13 year old chained in a closet. It's amazing what people can survive. There are sick, sick, sick, evil people in the world. The State said it was the 3rd worse case of abuse they'd seen - 30 years ago. Sadly, I bet they've seen worse since. :( Those people just disgust me...maybe more so than some as a child of a WWII soldier. Where do these people think those photographs come from? Do they think those camps, that still stand, were a vacation spot? I read somewhere that if you had a moment of silence for every victim of the holocaust you wouldn't speak for two years. Horrifying. I actually have an old boyfriend who, for some reason that escapes me, always says he dislikes Jews. I don't get it, really, don't. But even he doesn't deny it happened and took a trip a few years back to Germany. He went to Poland too and toured Auschwitz...with an elderly friend of his...who is Jewish. Go figure. My son's been known to use the N word - when angry at a black person, not as a general "everyone" word. I have chewed his butt so thoroughly for it I don't know that he'll ever do it to my face again. I can't stand bigots. I don't care if against race, creed, sex, or orientation...those people have no business in my life. He was NOT raised that way. Then again, he also borders on conspiracy theorist. I've been known to tell him to just make a tinfoil hat and get over it. [/QUOTE]
