Re: London 2012: Row after NBC drop opening ceremony '7/7 tribute'Too bad that montage had nothing to do with the "history" of London, you're just making it all up as you go along. If it only had something to do with the history of London, why were there people who had nothing to do with London on there?(Original post by DorianGrayism)
I don't know why you keep on making things up that I didn't say.
I didn't say the Afghan War "had nothing to with London". I said the "The victims of the Afghan war are irrelevant to the history of London".
When people do a history of London, they are not include a section about victims of the Iraq, Afghan or Falklands War because they have virtually nothing to do with it's development.
The Holocaust occurred outside of Germany. Your opinion is that catastrophes which occur outside of a nation-state have nothing to do with that nation-state and are "irrelevant" despite having been caused by that nation-state.(Original post by DorianGrayism)
Actually, the Holocaust also occurred in Germany. There were many concentration camps within Germany. So it is not a good example.
Neither did I say that the victims of the Afghan War are irrelevant to the history of London because it happened somewhere else. So don't make things up I didn't say.
Since you claim the Holocaust had "nothing to do" with the history of Nazi Germany, that almost puts you into the category of 'holocaust denier'. That puts you on very difficult ground my friend.
You advocate "see no evil, hear no evil", if evil happens somewhere else it doesn't matter, you like to pretend like these things didn't happen and don't exist so you can carry on living your ignorant guilt free life. People like you make me sick. -
Re: London 2012: Row after NBC drop opening ceremony '7/7 tribute'Yes of course, people would much rather put it out of their mind and pretend it never happened. This is exactly what I'm talking about.(Original post by Tesphena)
The Afghanistan war is not taking place in London though is it? It has very little to do with Londoners and its hardly something Londoners are going to celebrate. There was a tribute to those who had died in all wars, including the Afghanistan war, earlier in the show. The 7/7 tribute was to those who had died in 7/7. Its ridiculous having to point that out to someone.
People want plenty of time for a remembrance of 50 victims of 7/7, none for the hundreds of thousands caused by our illegal war.
If there was a tribute, I must have missed that. The only tribute I saw was to those who were attending whose friends and family couldn't attend. Nothing to do specifically with 7/7.
You really need to read up on your history. Buchenwald was not an extermination camp.(Original post by Tesphena)
What are you on about? The Holocaust happened all over Nazi controlled Europe, including Nazi Germany. Buchenwald is an example. -
Re: London 2012: Row after NBC drop opening ceremony '7/7 tribute'Well, it did because it had to with 7/7.(Original post by Stefan1991)
Too bad that montage had nothing to do with the "history" of London, you're just making it all up as you go along. If it only had something to do with the history of London, why were there people who had nothing to do with London on there?
It also occured in Germany. The concentration camps were part of the extermination process.(Original post by Stefan1991)

Re: London 2012: Row after NBC drop opening ceremony '7/7 tribute'What had nothing to do with London? The bucolic scene in the beginning could easily have been the London outskirts pre-industrialization; the industrial revolution certainly occurred in London; Londoners definitely fought in the world wars; the cultural revolution happened in London; the arrivals from the Windrush were housed in Clapham; the Chelsea pensioners, the pearly kings and queens, the real Queen, James Bond, and Mary Poppins are all from London; Great Ormond Street Hospital and many NHS hospitals are in London; JK Rowling's best selling books were first published in London; Mr Bean is a Londoner; the London Symphony Orchestra is based in London; London is a centre of the UK Music industry, and most of our most famous artists (including Paul McCartney and the Beatles) have recorded there; 7/7 occured in London; and most of the volunteers who took part were Londoners. I didn't name everything. but I am really struggling to think of something that nothing to do with London.(Original post by Stefan1991)

Shut-up. Neither the poster nor anyone else denied the holocaust. It happened within and outside of Germany. Its very much a part of German history. The Afghanistan War is a part of British history. That doesn't mean we have to celebrate it. The Afghanistan War did not happen in London and doesn't affect the majority of London, so it was not extensively mentioned. There was a brief silence for those who died in all wars. That was all I felt was needed.The Holocaust occurred outside of Germany. Your opinion is that catastrophes which occur outside of a nation-state have nothing to do with that nation-state and are "irrelevant" despite having been caused by that nation-state.

Re: London 2012: Row after NBC drop opening ceremony '7/7 tribute'Now you are changing the subject. We're talking about the tribute which included people who had nothing to do with London, not the choreographed satanic ritual.(Original post by Tesphena)
What had nothing to do with London? The bucolic scene in the beginning could easily have been the London outskirts pre-industrialization; the industrial revolution certainly occurred in London; Londoners definitely fought in the world wars; the cultural revolution happened in London; the arrivals from the Windrush were housed in Clapham; the Chelsea pensioners, the pearly kings and queens, the real Queen, James Bond, and Mary Poppins are all from London; Great Ormond Street Hospital and many NHS hospitals are in London; JK Rowling's best selling books were first published in London; Mr Bean is a Londoner; the London Symphony Orchestra is based in London; London is a centre of the UK Music industry, and most of our most famous artists (including Paul McCartney and the Beatles) have recorded there; 7/7 occured in London; and most of the volunteers who took part were Londoners. I didn't name everything. but I am really struggling to think of something that nothing to do with London.
Which immediately disproves the point that the tribute HAD to be about London and 7/7, when that's obviously false.
Exactly, it's very much a part of Germany history. Just like the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are important parts of UK history. The poster denied the Holocaust had anything to do with Nazi Germany.(Original post by Tesphena)

Re: London 2012: Row after NBC drop opening ceremony '7/7 tribute'Looool....actually, I denied that the Holocaust had anything to do with London's history.(Original post by Stefan1991)

You are the one denying that the Holocaust even took place in Germany.
So the only Holocaust denier...is yourself
Now stop denying the Holocaust and lying. -
Re: London 2012: Row after NBC drop opening ceremony '7/7 tribute'Then why were there people on there who had nothing to do with 7/7? Explain that little problem with your theory. It wasn't just to do with any one event. You're making it up as you go along.(Original post by DorianGrayism)
Well, it did because it had to with 7/7.
Then by the same token you can say the decisions made in London were part of 'the civilian killing process'.(Original post by DorianGrayism)
It also occured in Germany. The concentration camps were part of the extermination process.
Basically you're contradicting your little notion that what happens in one country has NOTHING to do with another.
Then why does the war in Afghanistan have nothing to do with the capital of the UK?(Original post by DorianGrayism)
I didn't say that the "the Holocaust had "nothing to do" with the history of Nazi Germany". Stop lying and making up quotes. -
Re: London 2012: Row after NBC drop opening ceremony '7/7 tribute'I didn't say it only had to do with 7/7. Please quote where I said that. Entire sentence please rather half or two words.(Original post by Stefan1991)

OH...and I don't mean.....half a sentence where you pretend to lie and then deny the Holocaust happened.Last edited by DorianGrayism; 31-07-2012 at 18:32. -
Re: London 2012: Row after NBC drop opening ceremony '7/7 tribute'Its no use arguing with him, he's just a troll :L(Original post by DorianGrayism)
QFA -
Re: London 2012: Row after NBC drop opening ceremony '7/7 tribute'Exactly. Therefore it wasn't only to do with 7/7. Therefore it wasn't only to do with London. Therefore acknowledging the deaths of thousands killed in Afghanistan would not have been out of place.(Original post by DorianGrayism)
I didn't say it only had to do with 7/7. Please quote where I said that. Entire sentence please rather half or two words.
But since someone posted just before that they actually did give a tribute to Afghanistan, so you've pretty much been proved wrong on all counts. (surprise surprise)
So let's clear this up, I was right about the montage not being just a 7/7 montage and openly to do with London. (you were wrong)
You were wrong about it not being appropriate or possible for there to be a tribute to those who have died in Afghanistan. (I was right)
You said the war in Afghanistan had nothing to do with London.(Original post by DorianGrayism)
Please quote me where I said "what happens in one country has NOTHING to do with another" or any of those statements for that matter.
Saying there weren't any extermination camps in Germany is not "holocaust denial", it's historical fact. Please look it up before you expose yourself as any more of an ignoramus(Original post by DorianGrayism)

I'm fed up of schooling people on knowledge they should really know. Just use google or something next time. -

When people do a history of London, they are not include a section about victims of the Iraq, Afghan or Falklands War because they have virtually nothing to do with it's development.
The tribute montage had nothing to do with the "history of London". How is this not penetrating your thick skull? You have dreamt up something which NEVER happened.

Re: London 2012: Row after NBC drop opening ceremony '7/7 tribute'As I asked before, quotes please for the claims in my previous post.(Original post by Stefan1991)
Exactly. Therefore it wasn't only to do with 7/7. Therefore it wasn't only to do ....... to do with London..
I cannot be bothered to read chunks of text in response to a one line request.
I agree. "Saying there weren't any extermination camps in Germany is not holocaust denial"(Original post by Stefan1991)

I said denying the Holocaust took place in Germany is Holocaust denial or more accurately "revisionism".

Well, it did because it had to with 7/7.So you agree that people weren't slaughtered on mass in specially made extermination camps in Germany, but that the Holocaust happened in Germany...(Original post by DorianGrayism)
I agree. "Saying there weren't any extermination camps in Germany is not holocaust denial"
I said denying the Holocaust took place in Germany is Holocaust denial or more accurately "revisionism".
What is the Holocaust if not people being systematically murdered in specially made extermination camps? What do you think of the Holocaust is? I think maybe you should look it up first before talking about it, it's a sensitive subject.

I just wanted to add one more point.(Original post by DorianGrayism)
