I'm doing a school project about the Holocaust, and I chose to research the average diet of a Holocaust victim in a concentration/death camp. Is there any website that you know of that can give me this information?

Over the past year or so I have seen countless blogs and discussions about the existence of God, faith vs. logic, our purpose, our reality, etc. - just about any argument that tries to validate our existence. I have realized that if someone truly believes in something it is as real to them as anything else in this world. All these discussions always end without answer and it has made me think: Isn't reality our own perception? I believe reality exists through our OWN senses and interpretation. Who is to say someone else is wrong or right? Who is to tell a blind man that he is wearing a red shirt? We all have completely different ways of sensing things - the only thing we happen to share are our five senses. The biggest mistake we always make is to believe that these senses are the only senses we have.
So does there exist an universal fact? Is there such a thing as a true reality?

"The Musical Genius"
I was asked by dear mother to go to the store.
This I didn't mind, for my CD player was ready.
I was now JS Bach, and the orchestra was ready,
as well as the choral, who I most worried about.
"Today, we are practicing the 'Sanctus'.
You know well my B minor Mass."
The choral looked worried, and I saw it in their eyes.
I reassured them, or rather warned them,
"If you drop one note from the fugue, you will be out,
on your ***, without your ration of firewood or beer!"
Of course it went perfect, and the chorus applauded me,
for composing a work of pure genius.
I adjusted my wig, took a pinch of snuff,
and bitched out the faggotist (bassoonist) for general purpose.
"Now we will practice Et exsultavit from my Magnificat."
But I arrived home, and gave the musicians the day off,
to study and practice.

Moments

This morning the world don't love me but i don't care
i am happy i found peace, i hope it lasts a day
I fear the next few moments..if i seek it and it is not there
and the world don't love me, most days i go through hell.

Moments to me keeps slipping away like sands
i can bearly hold them within the palms of my bear hands
where they go, i do not know..perhaps in my eyes..
where they are turned into diamonds staind with lies.

I'm talking particularly of cases like the late Klaus Barbie (Butcher of Lyon) who was reportedly used by the CIA. Should Western countries apologise for this sort of behaviour?

we had a 2 day discussion on this. the entire class was with the eye for an eye sorta thing. if you murder a person(s) than you should die. The reasons they stated were pretty good: why should we have to pay tax to feed a killer and keep them alive in jail? the get what they deserve. some were against this but said: we would be teaching the killer that killing is okay in the end. i personally believe that if you have the thought in your head and you go and murder someone, than there is something wrong with you. thats just it. There is something mentally wrong with you. it is not natural for a human to desire killing their own kind. other people said, well maybe they had family issus. lots of people have family issues- they dont go around killing people. i think that it has something to do with the way a person can resond to a situation. the insight in their brains tells them to kill- its not right. they should be kept in a special mental hospital. no one can help being mentally ill.

1. Opinion 2. Fact 3. Truth 4. Reality

How do these things differ in your mind? It seems to me that there is often confusion and misunderstanding between people stemming from a lack of agreement as to what these terms mean. What do you think?
