[QUOTE=A Dead Guy;23845805][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5C-cqw2s00[/media] Are you seriously that naive?[/QUOTE] I already told you exactly what he said and wants. Your're relying on assumptions and doubts that have no real foundation.
[QUOTE=starpluck;23845756]Who cares, maybe he's special and wants more information about the Holocaust rather then closing it forever.[/QUOTE] Maybe he could Google the Holocaust or look it up on Wikipedia. We aren't researching it further for the same reason we aren't actively researching other recent incidents. No-one is demanding research into if the Japanese actually did attack Pearl Harbour due to eye witnesses, evidence, the enourmous holes created by any other theory and general common sense.
They are bat shit insane middle eastern islamic dumbnuts.
