I said it on another post, the people of Rotterdam looking at the nazis marching on their city were not responsible for the feelings of the innocent Germans who didn't support hitlers rise to power. These Americans who think they are so special they deserve to be grouped separately by the victims of their country are just like the people who post "thoughts and prayers" when something horrible happens.

I agree with the sentiment, but you left out a few crucial words.

the people of Rotterdam looking at the nazis marching on the rubble of what was left of their city were not responsible for the feelings of the innocent Germans who didn't support hitlers rise to power.

I whole heartedly agree. My mind was going to before the destruction of the city started when the Nazis were still approaching leaving behind a trail of destruction as thats where we are with Greenland now. The war definitely showed the city is truely it's people not the buildings as those were largely ruined. I'm sure even if the Americans end up occupying Greenland it will never be America in the eyes of its people.

Stop asking us to go die as penance and people won't be so upset :)

No one actually did in the original post. It was all about "stop flooding this small community with sorry posts".

Suddenly those us-americans who don't read so good understood it as "you're at fault, please offer yourself up in a violent revolution".
