Well I said that everyone should be held accountable and I stand by that. However there are mitigating circumstances. For instance, if Parker sells one of his knives to someone and the person he sells it to stabs and kill someone with it is Parker to be held responsible? Is it his fault that the person who bought it usd it for purposes that Parker himself didn't have in mind for it, (I assume)?FatherTed wrote:
What's your views on the leniency afforded to the companies who made things like the Zyklon gas?Ty wrote:
Has anyone heard of the Milgram Experiments? Very interesting. We'd all like to think that if we were ordered to exterminate thousands of people we'd do the honourable thing and refuse, the Milgram Exeriments painted a different picture.
That being said all those who aided in causing the Holocaust should be held accountable, even if punishment is no longer really an option.
Zyklon-B is a pesticide, it's not produced to kill people, or at least it wasn't originally meant for this pupose. However I think that someone at the company had to be wise to what was the planned use of the gas by the Nazis and even if not somone had to know that something was up. You can't claim ignorance for something as huge as the Holocaust. There should be no leniency for things like that even though companies do tend to not want to know for the very reason so that they can't be held accountable. Questioning leads to less profits and no company will do that. It's always better to risk being uncovered later than risk loosing all that potential profit. As unfair as that is, for the producers of Zyklon-B it seemed to pay off.
