My daughter and one of her friends, both 25-30 year old females, have been following the rabbit holes, and have been asking me questions, especially about the jews. I have attempted to provide them with what I believe, and with sources, encouraging them to do their own research and make their own decisions. Horse water type of thing.

The friend shared with the daughter this morning, "I don't think the holocaust happened" lol. I sensed she was a little bit afraid to say it out loud.

They have both asked about the forum I frequent. I haven't shared Poal with them yet, but think it wouldn't be a bad idea. I'm not that prolific here, but do hesitate for a number of reasons. One, it's brutal these days to get started here, although I think they could manage just fine, and two, not sure about sharing the same space with them.

Anyone have any thoughts?

P.S. I'm the mom, not the dad, for those here that don't know that already.

I've only shared Poal with one friend, and that was a long time ago. It "wasn't for him." He's not much of a computer person and has almost no online presence. I try to keep my online world separate from my IRL friends. If your relationship with your daughter can survive the content here, I'd say go for it. You could probably introduce her to us so we don't completely crush her when she arrives...

Sage advice from a professor. I do believe she can survive the content here. Thank you for the reply, appreciate it

LOL, thanks. I'm not a professor. I just pretend online.

Shock! Shock!

For the record, I'm really part of the vast right wing conspiracy.

No, wait! I am the vast right wing conspiracy.

Life is brutal. Poal is life.

Ergo Poal is brutal, no doubt. I'm okay with that.

what are you afraid of?

why are you a coward?

Yay mom. Good job. This place might be something you introduce after they get more research under their belt. It's an acquired taste...

Thank you, good advice.

If they are in their late 20's to 30's and can't handle us they probably never could.

Good for them for exploring and doing research though. Assuming they have a head on their shoulders and don't go glowie I doubt they would have any issues here. Ask my wife, who is still stuck in the lobby.

You have to earn a place here, that makes a difference.

Yes, I remember your wife coming on here. I do believe they can both handle it, and they are both not particularly main stream. I agree you have to earn a place here, and I've expressed as much to my daughter. She has had many challenges lately and is extremely resilient and very bull dog like lol. Thank you, level.

The truth can be harsh, and many cannot cross the emotional/ intellectual bridge. Once seen and understood, there's no going back

is my wife. I have no idea why she chose that name, you would have to ask her. It is funny though.

...and then when you call a member out for something here and it turns out they're a mod, they label you a fed. :/
