Nazism: No Apology Required
by Dolly Cincinnatus CVD editorial

Sixty eight years after the end of World War II, the German medical association has apologised for crimes committed by German doctors during the Nazi era.

Why?

Germany’s current doctors were not involved in any of the Nazis experiments and I presume that the association that has made the apology does not have a concept of being joined to its past members in, say, the way that Christian churches do. Unless they do they are in essence a different body to the one that existed in the Nazi period and therefore not liable for its crimes.

In light of the above, the apology is well meant but meaningless and unrequired.

Before continuing, I note that in this report, the association states that the doctors’,

crimes were not the actions of individual doctors but involved leading members of the medical community” and should be taken as a warning for the future.

If the crimes were not the actions of individual doctors then presumably they were corporate actions, i.e. actions done in the name of the association. If that was the case, the German medical association would have good reason to apologise. However, the statement only says that they were the actions of ‘leading members of the medical community’. Note the use of the word ‘community’. In this context it can only refer to doctors generally rather than as a corporate body. I take from this that the actions were not done, therefore, in the name of the association. In light of this, no apology is required.

What should the German medical association have said? Rather than issue apologies for crimes that were not its fault, it would have been better off simply expressing its deepest regret for what happened and confirming its commitment to the Hippocratic oath.

PARIS. The Société des Discours Ironie, Le Sarcasme et Laconique confirmed today that it was looking into the German medical association’s apology for helping the Nazis kill those deemed ‘unworthy of life’ while still maintaining a pro-abortion policy.

Israel: Apologise for Eichmann
by Lewis Day-Lewis

It is unlikely that many people shed tears for Adolf Eichmann on the day he was hanged by the Israeli government for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and against the Jewish people during World War II. This does not excuse the fact, however, that in kidnapping him from Argentina, that same government acted illegally.

When any government acts against the law it loses the moral right to govern. The government that captured Eichmann has long since ended so there is no use calling for its dismissal but its actions – all the more terrible because its cause was just – have left a stain on the Israeli body politic.

The Contrary View calls upon the Israeli government to apologise for kidnapping Adolf Eichmann and renew its commitment to acting within the law in future. This also goes for the Israeli judiciary which put aside the matter of the kidnap in its deliberations and the Argentinian government which put aside its own sovereignty to let Israel get away with what it did.

No To Owning
by Edith Aghast guest editorial

We all know that language evolves. Sometimes it evolves well, other times less so. An example of the former would be the evolution of English from Middle to early Modern, i.e. the type of English that we see in the King James Bible and Shakespeare’s plays. An example of the latter is the modern habit of people to say ‘I own X’.

X in this case is not ‘a house’, ‘a car’ or ‘a book’. It is ‘this defeat’, ‘that failure’, ‘this mistake’. Own has become a new way of saying “mea culpa”.

I do not know why we are now expected to ‘own’ our failures – I imagine therapists of one type or another may be found at the scene of the crime – but I do think that anyone who supports the idea that we do so is, as my great aunt used to say, a silly ninny.

My dears, this is the view of a 96 year old lady in Cheltenham who has seen it all: one does not, and more to the point, should not be made to, own a failure. A failure happens at a single point in time. If I tell a chap to own his failure, I saddle him with it. People refer to Catholic guilt in a derogatory fashion, but at least Catholics may go to confession to be absolved of their sins. To whom can the person who has been told to own his failures go? No one. They must proceed through life weighed down by their mistakes.

I am not arguing that when we make mistakes we move on as if they never happened. We cannot do this because mistakes have the potential to unmake, as it were, the person we really are (I take the view that ALL of us are in essence good people). We restore our true beings not by owning our mistakes but by correcting them in whatever fashion we can before moving on and leaving it – the mistake – in the past where it belongs. Even if the mistake cannot be undone, a simple commitment to not make it again will allow us to move on and be our true selves.

What will not help is lugging around the horrible weight of something that happened years ago because we have been told that we own it. We don’t and we must shout the truth from the top of the roof tops so that people know it!

Thank you for reading my guest editorial, and as the Jubilee approaches, may I say God Save the Queen!

“Give Nazism A Second Chance” Says Left Winger After Being Tortured By His Own Logic
Emerging battered and bruised from the police station, student and Labour Party activist, Tom ‘Longshanks’ Hartley wept until his face went wrinkly. “The rumours are true,” he eventually told this reporter, “The police confronted me with the placard that I held up at the anti-cuts march, the one that said, ‘Tories are Fascists’. The interrogating officer then looked at it and said, “So, the Tories are fascists. Does this mean they do not deserve to be in government?”
“No,” I admitted, “They won the election, they deserve to be there.”
“I see. So as you now support the right of fascism to be given a second chance, I presume you wouldn’t mind if the Nazi Party was allowed back into power in Germany.”
“No! Yes! I don’t know!” My life is ruined. The police had me. By my placard and failure to use measured language I had implicitly supported the return of National Socialism. How will I ever be taken seriously again?” Mr. Hartley’s father later confirmed to The Contrary View that since his son had embraced socialism, he hadn’t been.

“Republicans Have A Right To Discuss My Reproductive Rights” Says Yonkers Woman
The liberal élite in New York were in shock today after a non-politically affiliated woman said that she believed Republicans did have the right to discuss issues relating to women’s reproductive systems.
“I don’t understand the problem,” said Denise Seashore, 34, “First of all, neither men or women have an absolute right to do what they want with their bodies, anyway. For example, neither sex is allowed to use their fists to murder someone. In regards sexual matters, a man is not allowed to use his penis to rape me. Why, therefore, should I automatically be allowed to terminate the life of the foetus in my womb just because it is my womb? If we are going to decide that this is an acceptable practice, it is quite right that it should be discussed first so that a consensus can be reached.”
In the absence of an argument to the contrary, various pro-choice groups announced that they would be referring to Denise as the woman from Bonkers, New York from now on. Democracy was too ill to comment.

“I Want An Atheist State” Says Bishop
Bishop Hilary Andes of Perth, Australia went on TV today to say what he believes all Christians are thinking, “I want a state founded on atheist principles so, so bad.” he told Channel Oz, “I am fed up of getting into arguments with atheists about whether Christianity or atheism has killed more people and being told – when I cite the examples of Nazi Germany or Soviet Russia – that they don’t count because they were not specifically atheist states. What I want is for a country – any country, it doesn’t matter – to come out and say, ‘We are now an atheist paradise’, and then kill millions of people. The smart arse atheists I talk to will then have no come back to my retort.”

FOUND The Only Man In Britain Who Is Unironically Looking Forward To The Olympics
Alfred Minger of Little Bastard, Hampshire (pop. 28) is a retired postman. He spends his days in his garden tending to his King Albert Potatoes (Confirmed as the lesser known relative of the more popular King Edwards by Mavis Pew of the National Potato Growers Association). As for the evenings, well, sadly, Alfred must spend them indoors after being banned from his local because of his insistence that he is genuinely looking forward to the 2012 London Olympics.
“I visited London in 1948 when the Games were last held there,” he told this reporter, “and I must say that in very trying times, London came good. I look forward to seeing her do well again during these difficult days.”
The landlord of Alf’s local, Mike Hustle, today issued this statement through his lawyers, “Alfred is – was – a good man, what with his record of killing 30 Argies in the Falklands, but I don’t bide by his antediluvian views. Until he learns that cynicism and a smug sense of loathing for people who have spent their lives training for this one race are the only acceptable views he will not be welcome here.”

EXPOSED The Internet Warrior Who Knows How To Debate
It took a joint operation by the CIA, Mossad and the Illuminati to find him, but find Danny Smoke they did – in Oklahama City Library, with a book in his hand.
“We thought we had prepared for every scenario,” said Agent X of the CIA, “but nothing prepared us for what we saw in that library. Intelligence told us that Smoke was in the middle of a debate over salmon stock levels in Alaska. When we entered the library, we found Smoke was sitting at his desk with Twitter open on his laptop. He even had the new tweet box open ready to write in. But not only was he not writing, Smoke was actually reading a book to check his facts first. We had the bullets, but it was us who were stunned. The CIA, Mossad and Illuminati are all in crisis now, and we are all asking the same question, “Could there be others who check their facts when debating on line?”"

CONFIRMED No Sane Person Gives A F*** When Someone Says There Instead of Their on Facebook/Twitter, etc
A poll carried out by The Contrary View reveals that 8 out of 10 people don’t care when a friend or acquaintance misspells a word on their Facebook/Twitter/who cares status update.
“It’s not like they are writing f****ing Dostoyevsky,” said Billy Heartbreak of Aberdeen, “As long as I can tell what they are saying, it’s all cool.”
According to our poll, the 2 people who did care were sectioned in 1968, though they have since gone on to become politicians. Their names are being withheld to protect the reputation of the hospitals where they were treated.
