Whether you think he used the word holocaust correctly or not (and no, he didn't), it basically gave anyone who might disagree with his statement an easy way to dismiss it. It's a strategical error, if nothing else.

Leaving The Holocaust out of this for the moment, why is the word incorrect? Because there's no great destruction causing the widespread loss of life and there's definitely no fire. The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah was a holocaust. 9/11 could be considered a holocaust. The siege of Waco could be considered a holocaust. The battle of Mabila, the Mystic massacre and the sleeping village massacre were holocausts. This is people dying because they have inadequate health care.

Calling it a holocaust is just dramatization.

These are the people who, when Finland elected the current (female) President, Tarja Halonen, said they would come to Helsinki and protest by burning the Finnish flag as a metaphor for how nations that embrace sin, like Sodom and Gomorrah did, will burn in flames. Presumably this was because Halonen had previously served as the president of SETA, the largest gay, lesbian and trans- rights group in Finland. (A fact, by the way, I don't recall anyone making an issue of in Finland itself.) They never showed up though.

Yeah, the double cherry on top incest finale is sorely missing from this epic tale of morality!

Yeah, I mean wtf is he going to do with a pile of salt for a wife?!!!11 Good thing he had daughters, I guess? But really, he's the only guy in town who's not gay and god can't even give him a son. What's is up with that?

To the LDS church, Prop 8 is a moral issue. Which is why they are so against it. Just read the story of Sodom and Gomorrah.

I hear they're hiring in the cities, Sodom and Gomorrah.

Ah, right. I think that is because Spike is not one of the accepted standard hosts on VS. Goldies and above can submit from any source though, so once it hits the deadpool it should be fixed by someone in no time.

If its not fixed right away once it hits the deadpool just drop me a line and I´ll help out.

I was told it was a dupe, someone else did appear to have it in their personal queue for much longer than I. They would probably greatly appreciate the promote, though, DFT!
