Today, I watched my mother tell a man that the holocaust was "a good thing" and "necessary for population control". That man was my girlfriend's father. Who is Jewish. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boyfriend came over to my parents' house for dinner. My dad made Holocaust jokes the entire time. My boyfriend is Jewish. FML
Today, my girlfriend and I were being driven home from our date by her mother. She's Jewish and I'm Catholic. Her mother was talking about how my girlfriend was going on a trip to Jerusalem that summer. She finished with "And you can find a nice Jewish boy while you're there." FML
Today, my daughter is so out of touch with anything not related to her phone and her social popularity that she doesn't know who Hitler was. I had to show her on YouTube, and while we aren't religious anymore, we are a Jewish family so this is an extra level of parental shame for me. FML
Today, my grandmother tried to lecture me about discrimination. This is the same woman who lies about her grandchildren's race, and tried to convince a Jewish person that the Jews were responsible for the Holocaust. FML
Today, my mother told me she wanted me to get an exorcism. Yes, she was serious. I'm Jewish. FML
Today, I was discussing my family heritage with my girlfriend's parents. The moment I told them that I came from a German background, her seven-year-old brother pointed at me and yelled, "HITLER!" FML
Today, a parent of one of the students I teach called me to complain that I was teaching her child "lies" and "fairytales". I was teaching them about the Holocaust. FML
Today, my Jewish boyfriend came over for my extended family's Easter party. My grandmother made fun of him for being Jewish so badly, that he left, crying. She doesn't see what she did wrong. FML
Today, my dad spent a full half hour trying to convince me that Judaism is a race. FML
Today, I watched The Passion of the Christ with my girlfriend. She kept scoffing at what she called the "historical inaccuracies", and actually tried to convince me that Hitler killed Jesus. When I corrected her, she looked at me, mouth agape, as if I was insane. FML

So, torturing and murder is population control? Inconsoderate.

What is your solution then? You can't temper people into population control, most countries wouldn't follow suit. Brazil, India, and much of Africa is unfettered in that regard. Even the Chinese tried. That "1-child act" was good on paper, until it turned out most parents were choosing boys. Now China gets to have a male to female ratio crisis in the next decade. Unless people lose their empathy, fall into a global war, or are willing to live under strict lifestyle rules, population control will never occur.

Well.... I can't say I agree, but population control really should exist. We're growing too much too fast.

Combine-esque suppression field? :P #24 - I can't say I agree the holocaust was a good thing.

How would you do that? Just start killing off random people? Granted, there is an overpopulation problem, especially in places like China. But, there is no good way to go about doing that unless we discover a planet that can support life, and then find a way to send people there.

Yeah, we could colonize Jew-puter

How would that help? We landed on the moon over 50 years ago, yet are prepping for a Mars landing in 2030. Even then, it would only be a few people here or there. A potential, humane solution to the population control aspect would take centuries. but that's not to mention the social aspect. How would you justify sending people to a different planet? It would be up to their choosing, unless you want to force them... For some people, there are many countries in the world, that doesn't mean they want to leave their home for them...

why would she even say something like that? thats really insensitive..
HowieDoIt 21
This makes her sound very insensitive, but something tells me these statements were at least a little out pf context. Who brought it up? Did the father say something first?

Control the population by letting him kill your mother. That is an awful thing to say
