Yeah, I didn't want to mention the holocaust, because I figured someone'd jump in and scream "GODWINS LAW" and so yeah. Also, it's on a much, much large scale than 9/11. That said, in the way it shaped people's perception of things and the world as well, it's a lot like 9/11, when you think about it - at least in those two areas.

They're used to call your mother a moron.

It makes a good example, Godwin's Law or not. There are genocides with far higher body counts, but people think of the Holocaust as the worst of them anyway. It all comes down to public view.

To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead, or endeavoring to convert an atheist by scripture.

Well, this certainly has gone off topic. Locking this, since there's also a chance this'll turn into a flamewar.

They asked me how well I understood theoretical physics. I told them I had a theoretical degree in physics. They said welcome aboard.
