As Olivia explains, culturally "they were raised to keep their head down and not make waves". The point of Olivia speaking out on CNN and other networks, she is thanking everyone on SM, and the NYPD, for standing up for them and helping them to find the culprit--which they did. I think the reporter was surprised that she didn't want to see the power of the internet and the fact that Sam's mom, and the Asian community in general, does not have to just take it on the chin. After all these years, she will hopefully see all these stories after the fact, and find new hope in humanity. We all need to start viewing things from a positive perspective rather than a negative one (as our parents and grandparents did), in order to move forward, collectively, and spread the word of hope for tomorrow.

@brucecampbell6578 LOL, I appreciated the honesty of "I picked on you because...". I get picked on a lot on YT (and trolled, answered by bots, lunatics, morons, etc.) I also appreciate that you replied without using any profanity. I hear what you are saying, but I don't (for many reasons) like to go down the rabbit hole of conspiracy theories. I honestly don't think that everything is as dark and convoluted as people make it out to be. Take the Operation Warp Speed and the vaccine for example, I do truly believe that it wasn't as nefarious of a plan that people (and the media) would like us to think it is. And it wasn't that shortcuts were taken, just that the approval process was jumped to the front of the line. They want people to take it, or they won't be able to claim success. Pretty straightforward. But we are all so used to finding someone to blame, skeptism has taken over rational thought. It is to the detriment of all of us, but no one wants to see that. We are all to used to assuming it is a set up and we all like to hear ourselves talk (complain) too much. It will literally be the death of a lot of people until they can get over themselves!

@brucecampbell6578 Dude...I think you may need to lay off the recreationals a little...lol. Although I agree there isn't much else to do these days. But aside from not exactly following you, I will say that regardless whether or not Reagan actually said that and even believed it, that was then and this is now. We live in an entirely different world now. We can't even trust "the news" anymore. In fact (you will likely appreciate this), I am all in a bother today bc a friend who is an ER doctor sent me a dm to back up a point be had been arguing with me. It showed the record--yes, ok, against the rules....but he didn't show me the name--of a 94 year old man in total organ failure who was dying. He didn't test positive for Covid, yet when he died a few hours after coming into the ER, the code they put on the paperwork was "died from Covid." At first I didn't think much about it, but as he pointed out--that man was part if the "daily count" of deaths in our city, county, and state! THAT IS NOT COOL! I get that the hospital, city, county, and state all get more funding, and there are plenty of people who are being written off as a victim of Covid, even though that may have just sped up their demise. But if the person doesn't even test positive??? Not cool...!

Karen O If I were being paid to make his case to you, then I certainly think that it was money wasted, as there is no way that I could change your distorted view and borderline paranoid mind of the past 10 years and what you expect from the next 10. Apart from not knowing your circumstances, yet alone what you believe, all I can hope is that you are as fervent as you are about seeking out the truth of those things that you are so passionate about (matters of policy that hopefully cover issues both domestic AND international), as you are about making disparaging and insulting comments to strangers online. Again, if part of being a Democrat means that one is not prepared to work alongside Republicans, or simply people who disagree with you, in order to bring the country together, then there is no hope for the future. I may have raised 4 Republicans, but I raised 4 smart, independant, RESPECTFUL Republicans, who are not afraid to debate nor discuss nor disagree with their fellow man. As well as knowing when to listen to all opinions. Whatever side of the aisle that man may stand on.

Karen O I would not have bothered, however in the hopes that you may be young and open-minded, I would just reiterate that you have not at all stated what you feel (apart from calling me a troll and a cult member), and neither have I. So, to tell me that "you feel the same way about me, have a nice day" after a brief encounter with a stranger on YT, whom you reached out to (and fairly aggressively at that), only shows that you are not listening. Even people who don't agree with you may bring something worthy of consideration to the discussion. Unless we are in Guyana and it is 1978, I assume that you have access to information and that you use it. Go to the source and then use your own mind to find what is the truth and what you think. And only after that, after you have been well-informed, then vote your conscience! Otherwise you are correct, you would be no better than a cult member--though we cannot blame the godless members of the club, if they have been brainwashed and taught what to believe!

The EXACT SAME THING happened to my daughter (but at a private school), and bc of the headmaster and parents of the other girls on the chat, MY daughter did not get into a high school where I had 3 other kids, sit on the board, and am a Trustee of the school for years. I even had equally, if not worse, posts from her friends and other girls on the chat--just as graphic and lude--and they were accepted into 9th grade but my daughter was made an example of. I told the Headmaster, when he told me of their decision, that he was new to the city and community and that he was handling the situation poorly and would end up learning this once it was too late.....and I said I would be pulling all of my kids. He dug his heels in, I pulled my kids, the community went nuts and called him daily to protest, would not give them any additional money beyond tuition, sent around a petition, etc. This went on for a year until he called and apologized and asked us to come back--all of us. I said I would think about it and then Corona started. And THEN...a few months later, he was fired...🤣🤣🤣 Sorry, I know that I should not laugh, BUT....I warned him!!!

@Pinkheartbwell I don't mean to harp on this, however, apart from the fact that the years don't add up, you do realize that "Nazi Soldiers" are not allowed to roam the world free, right? It has been, in fact, a race against time, to bring to justice the last of them who had not been caught and put in jail. Had you come across one, I am assuming you would do the right thing a report a war criminal as they would have still been actively sought by the authorities internationally. I get the point that you are trying to make, however, again, when you are raised the home of Holocaust survivors, the trauma that one experiences is very deep rooted. And I am not talking about one's energy. There is nothing one can do to understand what that experience is like, or what the survivor goes through. No matter how many times you hear the horrific stories from the victim's mouths. And becoming a vegetarian doesn't make it all better. Neither will forgiveness. I don't know what you are trying to illustrate by saying "my father was there", but this story was about a doctor who happened to be Jewish. Not a doctor who survived the camps. And the patient was an idiot with a swastika, not an actual, vile SS Officer. It is honestly upsetting to read people's posts recounting something as if they are retelling the plot of a movie, rather than an actual account (or even just a place and time). If you want to be compassionate, please just take it down.
1
-
@Pinkheartbwell Yes, that account is from a well known book, written by a survivor. No one "was in the Holocaust." One either "survived the Holocaust", or one did not. The concept of forgiveness in Judaism is very different than in Christianity. The Torah is very clear on when one is to forgive, and equally as clear as when one need NOT forgive or even cannot forgive. Especially if the person has not asked for forgiveness or tried to earn a person's forgiveness. Within Judaism, the construct of forgiveness, most especially towards the Nazis, is not even a debate. Even on Yom Kippur God does not ask it of us as without their attempt in even receiving it, we do not have the ability to grant it. The wrong they have done unto the Jewish people, without any remorse, is too great. By Jewish law and by International law, which is why we still have Nazi hunters who attempt to seek out those last living animals that may roam the earth, hiding, likely in plain sight. So they may be brought to justice and to their death. Every last one.
There are plenty of live testimonials from the Wiesenthal center that you can view on YouTube. I suggest viewing some to understand the difference between hearing a story from an actual survivor rather than an account reenacted in a movie.
1
-
@Pinkheartbwell And again, I hope you understand that your statements (reread them from the beginning) have been a deep, painful betrayal to those who not only perished in the Holocaust, but to those who survived the horrors of the Holocaust. As well as their trials and tribulations in the DP camps and thereafter. Including the impact it had on their children and grandchildren. It will take many generations for us to not be reliving daily the reminders of the atrocities that occurred, and the affect it had, and still has, on our lives. I don't know what year your father came to the US, or where he came from, but even if he didn't tell you stories about it, just his behavior throughout, how he carried on with life, was likely marred by what he had experienced and seen. And someone like that, who carries that burden, passes it on. Just as I want you to understand that your mindless, thoughtless, insincere commentary--completely anonymous on YT of course--is deeply hurtful and painful. And yet you keep going. I am glad that you are ok with forgiving nazis, letting SS officers roam free, although illegal, and saving little animals because you are a vegetarian. But I want you to understand that what you did was not only wrong, it was vindictive and mean. People may comments on YT all the time and others sling insults, call people names and liars, all from the safety of their screen name. I did none of that--I simply asked you to take it down. And you won't, and yet still keep posting. I don't know what your point even is anymore. It certainly can't be forgiveness as I have told you how offended, horrified and saddened I am by your actions and, perhaps bc I am a stranger online, you don't care. And while I did start out by saying I had a hard time believing your story, I did not follow that line of logic, not because I am now convinced--quite the opposite--I was truly just being courteous. I could go through each comment and sentence that only highlights the insincerity of your story, but I don't need to. You know what they are. And yet you still seem to have a point you wish to make. I implore you to find a different way. Doing it at the expense of 6 million dead is truly reprehensible. And just the fact that you don't understand how awful it is, or what your first post represented--or understand and feel the deep shame that you should be experiencing right now, is proof enough of your not even that elaborate, yet nonetheless pathetic, ruse. Just know that again, whatever point you tried to make, all you did was traumatize someone further. And yet, you seem very ok with it. Does that help prove your point? I doubt it.

@Pinkheartbwell Since you brought up Eva Kor--do you even know the whole story? You cut and pasted part of an article on commonlit but in addition to what she said, "Forgiveness does not mean that the perpetrators are absolved of their crimes," what Eva Kor also said, which is just as important as her own personal experiences were, as her ability to forgive was, was that "Each person can forgive only in his or her own name. One cannot forgive in the name of all Holocaust survivors." As I said before, the concept of forgiveness in Judaism is very different than that of Christianity. Many survivors did not, and do not, feel the same way as she did. "It is not our place, or our duty, to forgive. We do not owe anybody forgiveness. The pre-requisite for forgiveness is atonement. Justice we should seek--and forever seek--but forgiveness? It is not our place to forgive." Your point on how you came to forgive could have been made by simply telling Eva Kor's story--a true story. But the fact that you have chosen to leave your comments up, which are not only offensive to those who actually DID survive the Holocaust, or are children and grandchildren of those who are survivors, you do a disservice to Eva Kor and her memory, which is the exact thing you are trying to make a statement about. Make your point another way. Honor Eva Kor and her memory, along with the memory of her sister and family. Or simply make the point by drawing a parallel from the original news clip to Eva Kor's testimonials in documentaries and YT video that you found inspiring. Or use something else. Anything else but the tale you told about treating a Nazi War criminal and then letting him roam free!! The power to forgive that man was not yours! There are laws! People get put in jail for doing what you said happened! And the fact that you were not aware of that, or the impact of your other statements, may exonerate you and your false statements from those you have offended, but they do not make them any less painful to those whose identity you are essentially stealing. They also don't necessarily exonerate you from the law! Have you done anything to rectify the situation? Called the FBI? You claim to be a nice, peaceful person who wants to do good things. Take your statements DOWN! And then, in return, I will gladly delete mine. You are desecrating the memory of those who perished in the Holocaust as well as the survivors, whether dead or alive. You may not have the ability to exonerate anyone on behalf of the survivors or those killed, but apparently you can help them seek justice. In the name of everyone murdered.

@paulinbrooklyn And since you want to be her knight in shining amour... you know her statements are factual how? I certainly did not come in guns blazing, but since you brought it up, aside from the numbers not adding up (yes, even before I has exact numbers, it was clear they were off), there is zero mention of where her father was born, where he was during the war, or when and how he came to the US. And all that aside, Germans who "just served their country during the war" also had to go either left or right. The US or Russia. To be reeducated before reentering society. There was no such thing as a German just innocently serving his country, as 11 million people were massacred and per the Potsdamer Konferenz (amongst others) they had to pay their dues. They were not just set free when the war was over. Naomi may be a liar, whatever you know of her, that much is clear. But you seem to be equally naive. And it is more important to you to try to tell me to leave a stranger alone, than learn the truth about history and actually educate yourself on something important.

snailure Yes and no. You are right, I am explaining myself incorrectly. I was including the veterinary coronaviruses, as well as the human ones, I know they are subdivided into classes, and there are a lot of them. Usually one doesnt pay attention, but I did in January when it was announced. The disease and the virus have different names (as they are, of course, different). I do recall last year when the WHO came out with the name (each year they have a novel one, they put the year on the end, but they seem to come up with a new variation of one in animals annually, and as a vet you get an update). I just double checked on the WHO website and found this:
https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/technical-guidance/naming-the-coronavirus-disease-(covid-2019)-and-the-virus-that-causes-it
(and I am glad we left the WHO!). Did you see that memo on the site??!! Assuming it was a memo (I didn't download it). Pretty odd! But, I know I remember correctly. Not that it matters, but it does raise an eyebrow that they changed the name and won't refer to those docs anymore. Nonetheless, the studies of each one had already been done and they used that info to create the vaccine. That is what I read, and heard from colleagues while the research was being done. What their story is today... I don't know. I will edit my previous comment as I don't need the nastygrams... thanks! Stay well!

We raise children to think if they see something that is wrong in society, don't just complain about it--take action and affect change. And we obviously don't mean with violence. The general perfect example is, if you don't like the policies of X--the school board, your homeowners association, the district you live in, your mayor, senator, etc, etc, you can't just complain about X, you must get involved to create change. Join a committee, volunteer, run for office and help affect change from within. That is the cornerstone of our democracy. And the takeaway from this interview was that she didn't like his choice of words?? If he wants to run, let him run! Everyone who wanted Trump out, voted for Biden and Trump lost. That is the system and the rules apply to everyone.

Also, erstens muss ich fragen ob du Ostdeuscher bist? Und zweitens muss ich erklären dass ein Deutscher nicht sagen darf, daß er so was so schrecklich findet. Dass klingt irgendwie doof an. Daß geht einfach nicht. Ja, du hast den 2. Weltkrieg studiert, aber ob du dass gelernt hast ist eine andere Sache. Bei uns, geht es einfach nicht, dass wir 6 Millionen Juden umbringen könnten, nur weil wir etwas gegen Juden hatten. Das versteht keiner bei uns nicht. Du hättest irgendwas sagen können wenn du nicht mit "Ich bin Deutscher" angefangen hättest. Und zwar auch wenn es leider nicht so lange her ist, dass wir alle keine Erinnerung daran hätten. Besonders für den Juden, die immer noch am leben sind. Unsere Geschichte mit dem Schwarzen ist hunderte Jahre lang her, und wir haben immer noch Probleme damit (wie du gesehen hast). Wie kannst du denn meinen dass die Juden und alle andere die bei dem Deutschen Händen gestorben sind, dass alles schon vorbei ist? Ich sage dass ja alles nur um zu erklären. Du siehst ja schon was die anderen gesagt haben (und zwar auch denken). Bald wird dass alles Geschichte, aber jetzt zur Zeit, ist dass immer noch frisch in der Erinnerung für viele Leute.

@HeiBred I understand that you are seeing it all play out from afar, and in the media, but please don't believe everything you see and hear. The media is out of control and has been for the past 4 years. The reason that the news keeps playing impeachment stories is because they are concerned their ratings will plummet after January 20th when Trump is out. They know that Biden is boring, when they can even get him out of his basement to answer questions. He spoke last night and it was ridiculous. With an impeachment story, the cable news channels will be able to continue to cover Trump and keep their viewership. Even at the expense of keeping the country divided. And Trump closed the borders early. But if you recall, when he did, Biden called him names for doing it, Pelosi did as well, and then pulled that stunt in Chinatown in SF. Then shortly thereafter we had the situation where Fauci admitted to misleading the country regarding face masks. For some reason, of all the international news I watch daily for work, in various languages to understand how the world sees the US, the virus and how it is affecting different countries across the globe, Sky News Australia is always very pro-Trump and reports from a right-wing, Republican perspective. Why? I can never figure out why Australians in particular, have their own equivalent of FOX News. But, if you have been watching that, alongside other, more left leaning news channels, you have likely gotten a well rounded view of what is going on here. Nonetheless, the stories they all run are the few outlier examples that make for interesting news. You can assume the whole country is that way. Just as the few nutjobs who stormed the Capitol don't represent every republican in the US. Or the 74 million who voted for Trump. (Side note--I also really enjoy Australia's 60 minutes! Much better than ours!)

-
@HeiBred I don't know if you are an American living overseas, or just a foreigner interested in American politics, but what happened with Dr. Fauci and the masks was covered by every single news channel. Not just right wing media. You can type it into YouTube or Google and watch the stories. I was only pointing it out because you were Monday morning quarterbacking by saying that Trump should have responded sooner. Those who recall what happened here in the US remember how it played out. However crazy and awful he has been on many occasions, it still does not mean that they way they responded to the virus in the beginning was necessarily wrong, or was the cause of more deaths. And again,, I don't know what perspective you are viewing this all from,, however to state that you don't care for the Republicans or the Democrats, and at the same time say that bc I am trying to show issues that have occurred on both sides of the aisle, making them equally to blame, yet stating that that must make me a Trump supporter/and or a Republican and therefore a bad person is a bit disingenuous. This country is made up of 70+ million people who voted for Trump, or just voted against Biden/Republican, as well as 70+ million who voted against Trump/for Biden or Democrat. Either way, Trump is out, Biden is President and the entire country must find a way to move forward. We have enough issues to work through right now. We don't need to focus on gratuitous comments from the peanut gallery. It isn't helpful.

@HeiBred I unfortunately hate golf (I am terrible at it but my son was captain of the team in HS, lol!)... but I love riding, and used to work with horses when younger (running a hack stable in Upstate NY in the summers during college). I used to compete as a hobby when younger, at camp in Colorado--Rodeo (barrels, poles and flags)--very American! At the dude ranch where I ran the barn, all of our staff came from Camp America and CCUSA, so I had many Aussies and Kiwis come work as wranglers and they produced the best horseman (with the ability to easily switch over to western style). While that was before the internet, when people still felt very isolated coming from Australia, and would save up for their trip abroad when they would then spend 6 months traveling America before they would go back and settle down, there are still some similarities now. Especially during Covid. I have been waiting over a year for a few surgeries so I have not really left my house much this past year. I understand what you mean about trying to manage the pain and get some sleep. And I too have been watching a ton of YouTube, which started for work, and then became quite a nasty habit I think.... 🤔 but nonetheless, it doesn't matter where one comes from, everyone has bias. Unless it is about something that they didn't even know existed--like asking a rural farmer in a fly over state who started working on the family dairy farm right out of HS and has never been out of his town, what he thinks about Maori culture, or other aboriginals (the small a being intentional), such as Torres Straight Islanders and Aboriginals (big A) and the issues they face in Australian society... I am going to take a leap and guess that the farmer will give you a blank stare back. Honestly, so would my husband! Maybe he might break into a Haka, but it would still take him a few minutes to put it together. Other than those isolated incidents, it is impossible for people to escape forming a biased opinion one way or the other. It is human nature. And it starts with the way one first encountered the person or subject matter and how it was presented to them. I am personally a little sensitive to the way the media covers Jared and Ivanka for example, as I know one of them and share common friends with the other (and I don't typically even write this much about it in the comments section online). The coverage was ridiculous from the start. At this point, it is pure conjecture and people hear stories about them which may as well be fairy tales. Yet everyone feels that they know them, what they are thinking, what they say and do--it is absurd! Having heard that go on these past 4 years, knowing that the media is simply making news up, how can I now believe anything they say or write? Unless it is sourced properly and confirmed. So when you say that Trump is anti-science or science illiterate, or would not listen to his scientific advisors (I don't recall if you said would not or did not), think back on where and how you heard this. And of course you would have formed a bias upon hearing it. The person reporting it probably influenced that bias as well. And that is the problem right now in America. On both sides. And what makes it worse is when people are stuck at home watching the news and that is their only source of news and opinion. There is no more water cooler talk at the office where you can hear other opinions or stories of other people's experiences. Or me saying Trump is NOT an anti-semite, they have it all wrong. Jared's father may be the worst person and criminal to walk the earth, but his mother is lovely and his father-in-law is not an anti-semite. All we hear, we hear solely from the media and the extreme outlier stories they cover to make a point, and make news. It is very misleading and we all fall victim to it. It is a big problem!

Just because you are allergic to penicillin, opioids and NSAIDS, doesn't mean you can't get vaccinated. You have likely been vaccinated already as babies are started at a very early age. You can get your blood drawn and get your titers taken to follow up, if concerned. As you probably already know, the mycin family of antibiotics are a good substitute for the penicillin family. Just as there are subs for NSAIDs and opioids--the chemical make up of pain killers vary greatly and there are other COX-2 inhibitors that you can take with good results. And yes, those are meds, but they are also different from vaccines (which gives you the actual virus). Different chemical make-up, function, and goal. Vaccines save lives! Your GP can go over it with you, but regarding your other allergies, should you ever need anything due to pain, aside from wearing a bracelet and having it in your medical file, you should know what you can tolerate without consequence, so a doctor can treat you in an emergency. I would not suggest Tramadol for childbirth for example, but that is why it is good to know ahead of time. And your food allergies often have a lot to do with your med allergies.
