“Whether we consider Nazi Germany or Abu Ghraib prison, there were many people who observed what was happening and said nothing. At Abu Ghraib, one photo shows two soldiers smiling before a pyramid of naked prisoners while a dozen other soldiers stand around watching passively. If you observe such abuses and don't say, "This is wrong! Stop it!" you give tacit approval to continue. You are part of the silent majority that makes evil deeds more acceptable.” PeopleIfsGivingSaidTwoShowsEvilHappeningsAbuseMajorityPrisonSilentSoldierDeedsNakedGermanyPrisonerDozenAcceptableApprovalNaziPyramidsNazi GermanyTacitAbu GhraibSilent Majority Author:Philip Zimbardo
“Christians would show sense if they dispatched these argumentative Scotists and pigheaded Ockhamists and undefeated Albertists along with the whole regiment of Sophists to fight the Turks and Saracens instead of sending those armies of dull-witted soldiers with whom they've long been carrying on war with no result.” IfsLongWarWholeShowsChristianFightingResultsAtheismArmySoldierPositive AtheismDullCarrying OnUndefeated Book:The Erasmus Reader Source: The Erasmus Reader
