Today, in my history class we were talking about the holocaust and whether or not students should or should not view that during school, and it got me thinking. If we didn't learn about history, we would only be doomed to repeat it, now would we?
As I watched the video, I thought to myself, what kind of human being would do this? Millions of people dying just because someone thought that they were not good enough to live. Here's a thought, if you are that strongly opinonated about a race, keep it to yourself. Hurting innocent people just because you don't like them is not fair. Look at the Holocaust. Look at the many mormons forced to move away just because they believed in Joseph Smith, and his teaching.
Shouldn't everyone believe whatever floats their boat, without the society butting their heads in whatever they are believing in. And if you don't like it, please don't use guns, or harmful language.
Open minds are hard to find. But having one can help open the doors for tomarrow, making it easy for equal rights. It's not just religon that I think people need to be open minded. Anything that is different than the standard way of thinking or what is considered to be socially acceptable, is jumped upon and critized. Just because someone thinks differently, doesn't mean it's wrong to think like that. It just means that they are different and you've got to accept that.
It's not just religon. It's sexualaty, skin color, amoungst others.
Hey, this is the twenty first century. Let's do something to end this cycle of stupidity.
