Bush calls for Gay Wedding ban...

religion.

true but my parents and most of my family come from a completely different generation than me as they are quite old and although they have tried to impress a lot of their views on me ive still ultimately made my own decisions and opinions.....so although it can be bred into you, i think a lot of people sway away from this, particualry when u get older. partly as a result of teenage rebellion and partly changing attitudes over time.

the media plays a large part in this - correct?

true.

Hitlers speeches are fascinating and disturbing to say the least, I think he could comand almost anyones attention. In Nazi Germany there were also anti-semitic posters on every street corner... wherever you would look there would be racist propoganda, papers, radio etc...

Hitler was very clever because he knew Jews were not popular in Germany (or anywhere, including Britain for that matter) especially after the collapse of the German economy. The fact that a couple of the people who signed the Treaty of Versailles were Jews just gave Hitler more and more ammunition... he knew how to get people to listen, the rest was easy because of the already present mistrust.

I couldn't agree more, which is why however liberal tv gets - there are still thousands of fascists kicking about.

The power of the media is extremely underestimated...
