'OH HOLY FUCK! DOCTOR DEATH!' Way to keep your composure there Jordan. And in front of the guests.

Well, really, how often does one actually get an opportunity to yell out 'OH HOLY FUCK! DOCTOR DEATH!'?lyze wrote:'OH HOLY FUCK! DOCTOR DEATH!' Way to keep your composure there Jordan. And in front of the guests.

Nitpick: technically, May's ancestors could not have been put on trial for crimes against humanity in World War One, since the concept did not officially exist until the Nuremberg trials.
Not that I in any way doubt that they did things deserving of the term. I'm sure that it's a point of grievance in the family that those jonny-come-latey Nazis got credit for something that the Heims invented twenty years earlier. There is no justice in the world!

But Jordan, your helmet is clearly making a horrified facial expression.Wait... I'm wearing a helmet, how could you even see what face I'm making?
Is that like a built in LCD? Can Jordan display anything she wants on the exterior of her helmet, like a question mark or something?

Double nitpick: The concept of crimes against humanity has rarely been applied in a consistent manner and as such so long as this Doctor obeyed the USA then they could never be charged with them.Baeraad wrote: Nitpick: technically, May's ancestors could not have been put on trial for crimes against humanity in World War One, since the concept did not officially exist until the Nuremberg trials.
But on a more serious note. There seems to be some manner of correlation between the presence of Germans and things that just make the rest of the civilised world go "ohgodwhatthefuckwholetthegermansin?"

Er, I don't actually see the term used there...? War crimes, sure, those have been a thing for longer. Crimes against humanity are supposed to be a level above those.taltamir wrote:That is untrueBaeraad wrote: Nitpick: technically, May's ancestors could not have been put on trial for crimes against humanity in World War One, since the concept did not officially exist until the Nuremberg trials.

The name might be different but its the same concept
Even the link I gave is inadequate because its missing ancient examples that didn't use either term
also, the link you did provide also shows that the exact specific term "crimes against humanity" dates to the early 1800s and was used to denounce slave trading initially
