  • Honestly, i think comparing wars, invasions or genocides is kind of stupid. What’s the point of seeing who has committed more genocide/massacres? Both conflicts are completely unjustified in the first place. But people like OOP don’t seem to understand that.

    It’d be like comparing the Rwandan genocide to the Cambodian genocide. They’re both genocides, and that’s bad. Doesn’t matter if one is more genocidal than the other. It’s all bikeshedding.

    Jesus fucking christ, i knew the holocaust was horrible, and terrifying, but that sounds like hell on earth. It’s much more different and heartbreaking to hear his story directly, instead of just reading about auschwitz.

    For three years too?

    Please tell him that i’m sorry that he had to go through that.

    Firstly, my condolences for your great granduncle.

    Since it has been 80 years for him now, does he remember his experience at Auschwitz as just another old memory? (Albeit, a quite important one) Or does he still remember it as a traumatic memory, as if it happened only a couple of years ago?

    Sorry if this sounds stupid, or insensitive.






  • In mecca, we average 40c on all seasons except winter. At most, we get 50c. We’re used to the heat, that’s why we’re so brown, so we don’t get skin cancer :)

    but I can’t handle anything else lower than 30-20. I remember going to al-Hada (a town in the mecca state) and actually felt like i was going to freeze to death. I have no idea how you Scandinavians are still alive.
