Fixed that for you.

Faith is right in that a history book would be best, but until then, Wikipedia will suffice:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_holo...

Also, there are lots of good fiction books about it- you should search around and read some.

Once other people have commented on a discussion, it can not be deleted.


Lisa This is a horrible comparison........
And they shouldn't be compared; nor the holocaust trivialized.

Oh, I know what you mean, sorry . I thought u meant there was another dystopian sci fi series about it out there and the question was about surviving the HG or that....

Thats okay (:

OMG, I KNOW WHAT IT IS. EVERYBODY JUST CALM THE FUCK DOWN.


Sophiej I would rather be in the Hunger Games. At least somebody won and I don't know, it sounds a bit more, fun, if you can use that word to describe either.

Anyway I have a great strategy for the HG.


Nichola No really? Did you just compare a real life genocide to a young adult fiction? Hundreds of people at a time placed into gas chambers based on their religion, sexuality, outward appearance, genetic traits (among other things) and slaughtered. First of all, apples and oranges and secondly it feels like your comparison is bordering on being flippant and hugely downgrading the horror of the holocaust.

Vee Gretzinger yeah, i'm kinda confused... there isn't really a comparison and who the FUCK would want to be apart of either?

Hush now child, no one wants your opinion.

user 1999999 ^^ are you kidding me! The Hunger Games was not worst. Plus why are we comparing something tragic that did happen and something that did not nor will ever happen.

You. Disgust. Me.


message 21: by Vee (new) - rated it 2 stars

Vee Gretzinger it would not be worse... what do you think is worse? 11 million people dying or 23 stupid teenagers?! huh?!

NO I WILL NOT CHILL OUT.

You disgust me.


message 23: by Vee (new) - rated it 2 stars

Vee Gretzinger can you imagine watching your children be tortured and killed... and then being tortured and killed yourself after that? Because thats what happened in the Holocaust!!! which is wayyyyyy worse than HG (even if HG were a real thing) oh and another thing is: you get to train for the HG... the holocuast people didn't know when the hell they would be taken away. they were forced to live secret lives in annexes (can you imagine hiding out your entire life)????? yeah, didn't think so

11 million, yes."


really true. this isn't an appropriate conversation, especially because the Holocaust was a real-life nightmare. I find this very disrespectful guys :(

i can't explain the un-explanatory. you can't even begin to explain which one is better. because they are both terrible. but the Holocaust is a real thing, and it should never be compared to a fictional game. that is just SO WRONG.

I think you should stop posting things because you are VERY wrong and being very disrespectful.

of course. you are very right

Got asked an opinion, gave it, sorry it bothered so many people, I deleted the posts

user 1999999 Wow even your ashamed of your cruel words you deleted you post. You disgust me


message 31: by ARTPOP (new) - added it

ARTPOP I would say, the hunger games because the people who die there are only a tiny fraction of the people who died in the Holocaust. I hate wars, useless and pointless.


Cheryl Hall This really is a disgusting topic.

You want to compare the Hunger Games and the Program from Battle Royale? Go for it.

You want to compare 24 dead teenagers to another work of fiction? Fine.

I don't see how you can discuss a popular YA trilogy in the same breath as one of the worst periods in the entire human history.


message 33: by Vee (new) - rated it 2 stars

Vee Gretzinger Thank you^^^ I agree this is sooo beyond wrong.


message 34: by [deleted user] (new)

I'm just going to settle this and say I'd rather be in the Glade.


Mockingjay4421ncis YES!!! Go Gladers! Or I could be in New Pretty Town... or in the Dauntless faction, or in Everlost... (I could go on.) What about you guys?


message 36: by Vee (new) - rated it 2 stars

Vee Gretzinger ^^^^ I could go into any of those too!
