Most people have natural empathy for other humans. Nazi Germany obviously wasn't full of sociopaths. What is needed for genocide to happen is not some type of "natural evilness", but rather indoctrination that the enemy is less than human. I'm sure Bert is a typical example of someone escaping such indoctrination. When he realized the Jewish man he had gotten to know was not less than human but a fellow human, his attitude towards him changed.

It's sad to me how much we've forgotten the importance of forgiveness, patience and grace when assessing the past acts of certain individuals. This is something every human should find difficult, especially given the circumstances in this video, but should always strive for these ideals even though it may sometimes seem impossible. Though there are somethings that should perhaps not be forgiven. Despite my grandfather's and grandmother's German heritage, My grandfather had an abiding hatred for Germans due to his experiences in WWII. He was with the Army Corps. of Engineers and that meant he was among the first Americans to see what the nature of these concentration camps truly was. He never spoke much, if at all, about the experience and after I grew older an became truly aware of what his job was in the U.S. Army, it breaks my heart every time I think about it. Every single time I have to think about what he went through.

My brother had a very similar thing happen to him while playing rugby in college. He broke it after taking a hit from the front and back at the same time and the coach kept him playing despite his clearly not being okay. After that he suffered another injury after not catching himself after being dropped off 2 other men's shoulders (normally you land on your feet) he buckled at the knees and smashed his head off the ground causing his neck to break way more. He is still alive it's a miracle

Look up Allison Smith. "Allison Smith is one of the most prevalent telephone voices in North America, having voiced platforms for many enterprise telcos and thousands of private companies alike.". She is probably the most recognizable automated voice on the other side of the phone. These are called IVR's, by the way -- Interactive voice responses. But, for example, it could be anyone. At my company, we just use one of our employees. I've hired a well-spoken Englishman to do some for a private IVR voice prompt. But there are a a handful of people that do a HUGE amount of prompts, like Allison, and have put out prompts so it's easy to put together a huge amount of words. (Like recording, "one", "two", "three", .. up to "twelve", the "twenty", "thirty", etc, then "thousand", and "hundred" you can now have the same voice say 0-999,999) edit: Oh geez, I'm going down a rabbit hole.

@mikekuppen62567 жыл бұрын
It´s usually to do with people falling asleep smoking and setting their clothes on fire, if I remember correctly, though sometimes shortcircuiting devices are to blame. Basically the hands and feet tend to remain relatively unscathed because they don´t contain enough fat to serve as fuel and aren´t covered in cloth which otherwise tends to serve as a wick. I´d like to see a proper explanation though!
@darkwinter60287 жыл бұрын
Victor Agata - The "spontaneous" part is an error - something starts the fire. As the other commentator mentioned, what feeds the fire is fats and body oils being thermally rendered and flowing into the fire. In order for this to happen, conditions have to be just right; which is why it's such a rare phenomena.
@radiantcat5407 жыл бұрын
se7en Spontaneous Human Combustion is an actual phenomenon that has documented cases and evidence that differentiates it from just being set on fire, one of the plausible explanations being the one mike kuppen mentioned above. Unless you're some evangelist ghost buster brony... in which case I apologize for suggesting those things aren't real.
@darkwinter60287 жыл бұрын
Victor Agata - the reason (probably obvious if one thinks about it, but...) there's so little good evidence is a: it requires just the right circumstances to occur, so it's rare; b: much evidence goes up in smoke, literally; and c: any witnesses probably wouldn't stand around watching, they'd put the fire out! And as for that last point; little ponies are too real; you can find them in the kids isle at your local Walmart, Target, etc... look for the small box with a colorful vinyl figurine in it. 🦄

"Extra" ment an additional printing of the newspaper for a highly important story that happened after the original printing.

After evading his captors, he jumped over a fence, only to land at the feet of a British soldier, who greeted him with the words "Hello Fritz, fancy a cup of tea?".

Garret Ware It's not all British people who do it's a part of received pronunciation which is a south English accent, I can't remember the complete story but I'm fairly sure it had something to do with higher class pronouncing it with the silent r like in bath in the 1800's and it just catching on because of people wanting to be like them , while traditionally in England it was pronounced without it and that's why the northerners never adopted it.

when do we pronounce 'r's where there arent any. we dont ignore it when it though haha its just that after hundreds of years, people start being 'loose' with the language and its easier for the tongue to make the last part of the the R sound. thus the letter became less and less pronounced throughout time. but this is a particular accent nonetheless and although a large amount of people do it, its only like 20% of people near me who omit the R entirely or mostly
