As I said in a previous post. I am playing the part of Devils advocate. The reason that these ads about Pearl Harbour may work on some of the population is because of what I described.
And Mitlov I know plently of Jewish people who will not drive German cars (ie Nazi sleds in their words) so good on you for forgiving and forgetting.

I haven't "forgotten" the Holocaust, and I don't appreciate your suggestion that I have. Nor have I "forgiven" the bastards who perpetrated it.
The difference is, I don't blame the son for the sins of the father. Here's a reality check for you and your friends:
it's 2008. World War II and the Holocaust ended
sixty-three years ago. The bastards who perpetrated it have died of old age, or are about to do so. They're not the people running Germany or German car companies.
I've got no problem boycotting a country when bad s--- is going down in that country. But boycotting German products today for something that happened in Germany 2/3s of a century ago is not punishing the perpetrators of the Holocaust. This far down the line, all you're doing is boycotting people because of their ancestry. And that's about the most ironic way I could think of to "remember" the Holocaust.
