I would have been in this bunch were i alive back then.
BERLIN (AP) — Germany has inaugurated a memorial to more than 200,000 people with physical and mental disabilities who were killed by the Nazis after their lives were deemed "worthless."
The Obamacare "death panels" will acccomplish the same thing when people are deemed not worthy of medical care that they have paid for.
Death panels is a blatant lie.
While private health insurance companies routinely deny expensive life saving treatments that affect their bottom line. Not even a panel of doctors there from the death panel fantasy. Just some accountants.
One of the reasons modern Germany enjoys respect in the community of nations is their absolute refusal to let the criminal behavior of their forefathers go unacknowledged.
What criminal behavior? The people in Germany at the time were merely following the law. The US is absolutely NO BETTER. Oh and as far as "criminal behavior" going unacknowledged that's enforced every day with Germany and pretty much every other European nations refusal to allow discussion on "facts" and free speech. You can be imprisoned for that there.

Will do. Seeing how we aren't talking about cemetery to begin with,either way I want a viking funeral.

Ah, the Nuremberg defense. "Befehl ist Befehl". Like it or loathe it, Nuremberg established that there are lines you are not allowed to cross, even if a superior tells you so. The Germans learned a very harsh lesson on that. One would hope other nations could benefit from it, although I am not overly optimistic.

Than Nazi Germany? I beg to differ.

They don't get respect from me. Wallowing in the sins of the father is not an admirable quality. Move on. Be strong.

Well I don't beg to differ. The US has committed war crimes in every way its ever been in especially the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of civilians when they dropped Nukes on Japan.

Germany isn't strong? By what metric? This should be interesting.
