Thats probably becaue the current staff had no relations with the Nazis, therefore they dont feel their lives should be ruined because of it.  That would be like blaming me for Slavery.  Sure maybe my Great Great Great ect grandaddy was cracking the whip.  But that doesn't mean I had anything to do with it.  And it doesn't mean I am going to appologize for it either. 

sometimes peoples expectations are just so unrealistic

to deny the past and not face it is just as bad as what happend and lessens the impact of the tragedy. this is why jews have worked so hard to make sure no one ever forgets. and, like the article said, some of these companies have been sued for their involvement and lost. i was going to make the slavery analogy, but you beat me to it. as you know, just because we didnt have anything to do with it, it still affects all of us today. there are some things that should never be forgotten or marginilized. im not saying we have to apologize for the mistakes of the past, but we do have to acknowledge them and make every effort to not repeat them. by saying we had nothing to do with it and denying it happend, it only perpetuates the mindset of ignorance

Those companies would probably be more than happy to acknowledge their involvment with the nazi party if they thought an appology is all that was being asked of them.  But they know that if they apologize that it will be an admitance of guilt and the families of holocaust victoms will sue the shit out of them.....yeah thats justice ::) lets just risk out company and have to lay off thousands of people so that we can acknowledge one of the most well known events in history......hmmmmm

plus one thing that most people forget is that the holocaust was not know about until the very end of the war.  Hitler was just seen as.....violently ambitious.  But no one knew he was attempting genocide.  If the Governments of the allies had no clue to the holocaust.  I doubt bayer did.  Therefore it would be ridiculous to ask them to put their companies and employees jobs at risk for something that not only they had nothing to do with, but their predecessors probably had no clue they were involved with. 
  Plus wars are expensive.  and some of those companies were bringing money INTO the american economy FROM the german.  Money that helped us fight a war ( I guarentee you their profits were taxed)  So if you want to spin that they helped the Nazi party, you aslo have to spin it that they helped America defeat Hitler......or, we could just all be reasonable and not point the finger for once.

Im just saying that they probably did not know how dirty their business was.  No one did till after the war. 

And yeah, a strong economy is important and I have a lot of respect for people willing to "do whatever it takes" to accomplish.  That is why the US is where it is.  But people have a conscience now, so now our society will collapse because of everyones bleeding hearts.  We will see how evil everyone thinks those corporations are when they cant even heat their homes.

A Story Of A Girl

She told me we couldn't afford beer anymore...
I would have to give it up
Then I caught her spending $65 for make-up
I asked her how I had to give things up when she didn't
She said she needed the make-up to look pretty for me
I told her that's what beer is for
...
I don't think she's coming back

I thought that was an Aghanistan Reference for a second.

But yeah, that is the right attitude, unless you are one of the dead.

QuoteIn reality, most adults make a living by selling off little pieces of their dignity to an asshole in a tie until they finally go home one night and "forget" to turn the car exhaust off in the garage.

Thats why fighting wars is the way to go.  You just take other peoples dignity until the one day you forget to duck.
