I nearly shouted at a Catholic priest once, during mass. (I occasionally get dragged along to the creepy-god "church" thing.)

He was bemoaning the atrocities in Kosovo. Fine. Then he says (parphrasing) "The world hasn't seen the horrors of genocide on this scale since the Holocaust."

I wanted to shout at him, haven't you ever heard of Rwanda? Of Cambodia? Of the Sudan? Iraq?

Or do Albanians count more, because they're white?

I have never been so offended at ignorance in my life.
