Could not find anything that forbids discussion of past historical events like Holocaust, its survivors, World War II etc. or its aftermath.

How have I offended, and how can it be avoided in future? Thanks very much.

Posting a sarcastic message like this probably isn't the way to make amends...lol I'm sure there are many boards online where you can disculls all those things...find one.

@chrystaltree My take on the OP is not sarcasm, but only real concern.

Hey, on a lighter note: Anyone here sometimes think about the similarities of, say, the Roman times and our present days? I often think about their obscession with food (vomitariams), baths/spas, (thousands of them way back then), sports (coliseums), aspects of violence (gladiators, wild animals in arenas), etc., etc. It often crosses my mind, and just wondering if anyone else sees a few similarities (all of these years later). Just in general, and definitely not p*litical.

Ahhh, I love history and I really don't think times have changed that much. People are still willing to enslave others, those that have are gonna keep mentality, bulling in schools people that stand by and watch, people in war situations not just men, but, women too become animals.

S^x traffic, all about money and willing to sell fellow humans for their own greed not any different then the 1800's.

People that hire immigrants and take advantage of them because they know they can't complain/report.

I don't think it's changed that much.

sarcasm

1. harsh or bitter derision or irony.

2. a sharply ironical taunt; sneering or cutting remark

There was nothing sarcastic about the OP.

What is good for the goose today will also be good for the gander tomorrow.

In general, I've found that many people don't want to hear about world history possibly repeating itself. Roman Empire, etc., etc. There is a benefit from learining about what worked and what didn't. Oh, well. Enough said. It can become controversial now-a-days. However, not at all during my early school years. Times have changed.

Yes, we're mostly into more important issues like what they're wearing in Paris (interesting but not revelant) this season.

Generally speaking, a discussion of a historical event is within guidelines. The problem comes about if the discussion becomes graphic, heated and/or controversial. I believe that the removal of your post had to do with the live link you posted but I think a simple edit would have done the trick.

I apologize for any misunderstanding we might have caused and appreciate your questions regarding the removal.

I didn't find anything whatsoever sarcastic about her question. I think it's worthy of being asked. I've seen so many deleted, including some of mine, that made no sense why. I don't like the heavy-handed, random deletions.

@Teddie. I found out if you use the reply button on someone else's post and theirs gets deleted, so does yours. Always use the reply button on the top of the page. I have had mine deleted for that reason, it was attached to someone else's.

I knew that has been an issue before.

But after the election, I started a thread about the transition of one family to the next in the WH. I was fascinated with how fast they cleaned and painted and changed out the carpeting in such a quick amount of time. It seemed timely, considering what was going on. I mentioned no names, no political party but was interested in the history of the transition. There were some nice replies but it was quickly deleted. Just one example.

There are many examples of things that are deleted that really make no sense. Sometimes they're innocent enough but are taken down because they *might* turn bad. Just depends on the day.
