What atrocities should we remember and how often and with what intensity should we remember them?

[Elok]

How much work would it be to find the culprit through IP checking or whatever and give them a suitable punishment, e.g. a post count reduction (I don't think we've had one of those handed out in, what, five years? I think we're due for one)

That just gives Mobius a perverse incentive to create one.

The main reason to forget about atrocities: not having to do anything about them

[Sava]

perhaps it is the capital of south carolina?

though the mourning multiplier (i almost typed "morning" in protest of unnecessary u's) would be high for white victims

x10 if blonde hair
x20 if blue eyes
x100 if named "Hailey", "Taylor" or "Payton"

Is this British Columbia in Canada, or the District of Columbia?

with a factor of 50, more likely to be for First Nations in Canada.

Taylor and Payton are gender neutral enough

but throw in... i dunno, Preston and Bradley?

[Sir Og]

If we assume that the goal of remembering atrocities is to never repeat them then we would only need to remember the first one. (most atrocities are virtually identical in their core.)

If the goal of remembering is not to forget to kill at least as many as the "others" killed that one time then we should remember as many as possible.

[Sir Og]

Wohooo JM!

I think that's my first.

[loinburger]

I guess the first atrocity would symbolically be Cain killing Abel (or more likely Thog killing Ugg)

"Thog and Ugg? You're racist against cavemen." Oh yeah? Well calling them cavemen is racist against the paleolithic people who didn't live in caves, so **** you!!!

[loinburger]

Speaking of paleolithic racism, why were't there any black characters on The Flintstones??? "Well we wouldn't really expect a lot of paleolithic communities to have mixed ethnicities given the difficulty of travel..." Nope, racism!!!

Also, the Flintstones didn't really live in caves, they lived in houses made out of solid rock - it's like they found a big ass mountain and chiseled away 99.9% of it and wound up with a bunch of rock homes.

Also, they used animals as appliances.

I am not talking about the names.
