My father takes pleasure in copying me in to his stupid fascist emails about all sorts of DM type topics

Today he sent to me and a lot of others the stupid one about the holocaust not being taught in schools

Subject: FW: In Memoriam

Recently this week, UK removed The Holocaust from its school curriculum because it "offended" the Moslem population which claims it never occurred. This is a frightening portent of the fear that is gripping the world and how easily each country is giving into it.

It is now more than 60 years after the Second World War in Europe ended. This e-mail is being sent as a memorial chain, in memory of the six million Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians and 1,900 Catholic priests who were murdered, massacred, raped, burned, starved and humiliated with the German and Russia peoples looking the other way!

Now, more than ever, with Iran, among others, claiming the Holocaust to be "a myth," it is imperative to make sure the world never forgets

This e-mail is intended to reach 40 million people worldwide!

Join us and be a link in the memorial chain and help us distribute it around the world.

Please send this e-mail to 10 people you know and ask them to continue the memorial chain.

Please don't just delete it. It will only take you a minute to pass this

SO

I replied copying all of them in with a link to sophos and hoax-buster informing him that it was sensible to check such obvious drivel before forwarding en masse

Stupid twat he is

By ignoring it, you are turning a blind eye to scammers.
Thereby allowing other innocent people to get conned out of money.

Nope, everyone needs to be made aware.

Personally I would make buying products from spam emails a capital offence.

forwarding chain spam could be punishable merely by a long spell in jail.

Liking your style NBN.

Personally I would just make them write out "I must not inflict rubbishy crap on my friends and relatives without googling it first" a thousand times, but I can see that making it a capital offence would certainly cut down the number of people taken in, if only by Darwinian evolution.
