I remember having a conversation with a coworker about the Holocost in the 90's.
We were walking to my truck. He said, "What do you think about the event."
I said something along the lines of, "Well--others have had it worse?".
I blame it on stupidity, a bad American education, and an angry 20 something that was completely lost in every aspect of my life.
I so regret how flipped my response was. I don't think I have ever said anything so stupid. I bet the guy I said it to remembers it too. He went into programming after our stint in the snack bar, and I imagine he's on hn.
