Canada is going to boycott Ahmadinejad's speech to the United Nations. Mostly because Ahmadinejad keeps making anti-Semitic statements and denying that the Holocaust happened.

You know, you'd think at some point, it would sink in to Ahmadinejad (and other Holocaust deniers) that if Germany says it happened (and, btw, the Germany delegation to the U.N. is saying they'll walk out if he denies the Holocaust during his speech), well... shouldn't that end the debate on the matter?

Israeli officials are urging their delegation to leave once Ahmadinejad reaches the podium, and I wouldn't be a bit surprised if a good chunk of the room gives him the finger (politically speaking).

I tend to rush the crazies out of the store as soon as I can simply so I don't have to listen to their craziness. Hell, I had one guy convinced that unmarked black helicopters were following him everywhere.

Regardless though, when the country wherein the atrocities were committed says "Yeah, that happened. No, we're not fucking with you. It happened.", you know, that should be the end of it. I mean, hell, the fact that it's against the damn law to deny the Holocaust in Germany should back that up. But nooooooo.....

It's not about facts.

Do you *really* think that most Flat Earthers, Creationists, and Birthers *BELIEVE* what they're spouting?
I don't, not anymore.

I'd be a bit shocked if they didn't really believe it. Why continue to spout crapola that you don't believe? Loss of credibility? Hello, they earlier admitted to being a Flat Earther (or whatever). I don't think there's any credibility left to lose.

It's like a mating display --
All that bright coloration attracts other close-minded bigots.

And then they can home-school their spawn so they don't have to be exposed to outside influences. Like rationality.
