How far did you have to dig to find that? Because I just googled the same thing and I haven't found anything that is even remotely unfuckable.

Second page on images? You can't find two pictures out of twenty?

When you search for "hottest chick on earth" do you find mostly results of hot chicks? or, do you find mostly pictures of old grandmas and teenage boys? What is your opinion of the consensus?

Okay, I'll use your own argument against you. When you google "hottest chick on earth" do you find the same girl, or do you find hundreds of different women? Obviously they can't all be THE hottest chick on earth.

Right, but when you google holocaust, the overwhelming majority of results are only ever talking about one holocaust.

And you'll also find that almost all the references are to "The Holocaust", "Jewish Holocaust", "Nazi Holocaust", etc.

correct?

True story, I went to a holocaust memorial thinking it was a memorial to cows, goats, and other animals sacrificed in religious ceremonies. Boy was I confused!

Wikipedia:

Holocaust

Now, the word holocaust means "the intentional killing of a large number of people."


For the murders of millions of Jews and other people at the hands of the Nazis in World War II, see The Holocaust.

At least Wikipedia agrees with me.

So because what is popular is what's right? So you're telling me in Nazi Germany when they thought Jews were inferior that was true? Basically what you're saying is popular consensus is always right, therefor you are calling yourself a Nazi. If you're a Nazi you just want the name <Holocaust> to change just so you can selfishly keep it your Nazi self.

Absolutely. That's how language works. There is no "objectivity" in language, a word only ever means what a majority of people think it means.

I can't help but feel that my point is being dulled by arguing with an idiot.

AH HA! So if what's popular is what's right then you agree that <Holocaust> does not need a name change. The majority of people don't see a problem with it so therefor there is no problem with it. You said it yourself. Cheers mate.
