That's a pretty lame argument SD: you're essentially saying "There are more Chinese people so it's not as bad if you kill 3 million of them as killing the last remaining People X who number much less". Come on.
No, my argument is that genocide is the worst crime a human being can perpetrate. I didn't think it was a particularly radical argument either.

No one is arguing against that. If that is all you are saying I don't quite get the reasons for your other posts itt. You seem to be suggesting that the Nazi atrocities of WW2 were somehow worse than those perpetuated by the Japanese. I could be wrong though I get the impression others feel the same.

I don't know whether this is what SD was getting at, but it would seem to me that there is a difference between being willing to kill hundreds of thousands (or indeed millions) of a certain group and making it your goal to wipe out that entire group. Is the latter worse than the former? The question is cynical as well as pointless, although I guess that international courts have to address them. However, I would say that the conscious intention to erase an entire group and the actions taken to achieve this goal are an evil of a different order. They're different in kind, though not in 'badness'.

That was exactly what I was getting at, yes. I know the Japanese aren't fond of the Chinese (the feeling is mutual) but I very much doubt that at any time they ever considered killing every man jack one of them.

Now Im not Jewish only Christian but All that gold 20 billion that was taken from not given by but taken from jews teeth ,watches and ,jewlery and your country only gives back 1 billion. When it should all be given back to the Jews. even if there is no living relatives it should all go a Jewish Relief fund or charity. And your country didnt even want to give back the 1 billion until A boycott started :mad:
