Holocaust unlike any event in modern history

I felt disturbed when an individual "misinterpreted" the Holocaust Memorial and went into an absurd tantrum about religious supremacy and genocide in Israel. To claim that the Holocaust was "the worst single action to have ever occurred in light of history" and to politely shift gears to "Jewish Supremacy" is poorly careless. It is ethically irresponsible to compare the dehumanization of Jews, Poles, Catholics, homosexuals, disabled and many more to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The Holocaust is incomparable to any event in modern history; it is a category of its own. To compare the deaths of thousands of Palestinians to the millions in the Holocaust dehumanizes the value of each Jew, Catholic, homosexual, Pole and others whose life was taken during the Holocaust. There is a roughly estimated 3,850 Holocaust victims to one Palestinian. While the numbers are not the message, devaluing the life of a human is unacceptable. White Supremacy is an ideology reflected from a similar Nazi perception of genetic purity, biological inferiority and the master race. Reading the person's perception of Jewish Supremacy, it appears to be a 21st century conspiracy theory that is similar to the Passover Blood Libel. I dismiss the perception because I wish to respect and tolerate diverse ethnicities, nationalities and religions and not resort to genocidal conspiracy theories. [Read article]

You're sickened by the midriffs and cleavage you can see today while walking down the street. You believe that we need to go back to the days when people were out there measuring the distance from knee to skirt on all the young girls flaunting their bodies in public. How else can you make sure that those little hussies know just how darn indecent they really are? [Read article]

The planning school never planned ÷ but hoped ÷ for this. Last week, the Faculty Senate overwhelmingly voted in favor of sparing the School of Planning from elimination and combining it with the geography and regional development department. Supporters say the move would provide students with more interdisciplinary courses and a broader faculty base. Not to mention it would prevent its biggest fear ÷ total elimination ÷ from seeing the light of day. [Read article]
