Oh come on Russ, the context this thread is in is about Jews, not world population. 6 million in itself is a lot of people to have killed, 6 million in a population of 20 million - or whatever the population at the time was (jews not global) is even worse.
By putting the death of 6 million followers of one religion/race/whatever in the context of the world population totally demeans it.
Its like saying to an animal lover, "sod 50 percent of tigers being wiped out, theres millions of animals on this planet"
