When I said to Fred, "You look very young for your age," I was making a political point that had nothing to do with age or ageism. What was it? | ||

When you said to Fred, "You look very young for your age," did you mean that Fred looks very young for his age? Or were you quoting something/someone? Was your point about language? | ||

Is his actual age relevant? Is he <10? 11-20? 21-30? 31-40? 41-50? 51-60? 61-70? 71-80? 81-90? 90+? (this was because I didn't know if 'LTPF list of ages' would be cheating :P) Did you actually think that Fred looked young for his age? Had you just discovered how old he really was and were surprised? | ||

So we have a yope to him saying something that suggested that he was around for an event that took place before he was born. Did he say something that implied he had knowledge of any type that it would be unusual for a person of age 25 to have? impossible for such a person to have? Idea: He made a statement involving how life was in "the good old days", while you realized what he was saying was incorrect. So you sarcastically implied that he must have been old enough to live back then because that was the only way he could have "known" the information. Am I ORT? | ||

If the puzzle would work for somebody up to about 67 years old, does that mean that the relevant even took place in approximately 1942? If not, in which decade did it take place (00's? 10's? 20's? 30's? 40's? 50's? 60's? 70's? 80's?) Is it related to World War II? Did he refer to a group of people involved in the event as "we"? | ||

Which parts of this statement were part of what he said(if any)? We need to be nice to Jews? Because of what we did to them in the holocaust? Because of what we let happen to them in the holocaust? If none are actually part of what he said, which parts are ORT? | ||

To check from my earlier question, Fred did not refer to a group of people involved in the holocaust as "we," correct? Did he refer to "us"? "our"? "ourselves"? any other form of a first-person plural pronoun that I can't think of right now? | ||

Is Fred German? Jewish? British? French? Japanese? Is Fred Conservative? Liberal? If he is one of those, is he in the "extreme" right (or left) wing? Is abortion relevant? Capital punishment? Internmet (like was done to Japanese Americans)? (Not sure why I'm asking about these, but you mentioned politics & moral character, I'm fishing...) | ||

Something about interfaith relationships? or interethnic relationships? Did he think that non-Jewish Germans should date Jews (and hence reproduce) to help replenish the numbers that Jews lost during the holocaust? | ||

Interethnic dating was all I could come up with for the liberal slant, and that was the only way I could think to tie it to the holocaust | ||

Is any identifying feature about you (the person fred is talking to) relevant? For example, does it matter that you are female? Are you Jewish? If so, does it matter? Would he have said the same thing if talking to someone else? Would someone else have reacted the same way as you? | ||

No, I have no religion & no ethnicity. But my parents are Jewish, I look Jewish, & Fred probably assumed I was Jewish.If so, does it matter? yesish. His belief that I was Jewish probably strengthened Fred's tendency to say what he did to me, but he might have said it even if he had been sure I was not Jewish (e.g., named O'Malley & wearing a crucifix). Would he have said the same thing if talking to someone else? see previous answer Would someone else have reacted the same way as you? Some would, some wouldn't. | ||

did he apologise for what the nazis did during the war? or apologise in some way that made it seem as though he was complicit, even though he couldn't have been because of his age? | ||

Did he say that he felt bad for what Germans had done to the Jews? Not felt bad in the sense of apologizing, but felt bad in the sense that it kind of tore him up inside to be a German and know what Germans had done? | ||

This is close enough fort me to declare a ************** SPOILER ***************** A few years ago, a German who looked about 25 said to me, "I feel guilty about the holocaust," I replied, "You look very young for your age," to make the obvious point that it made no sense for him to feel guilty. This puzzle once again illustrates how bad I am at predicting puzzle difficulty: I thought it would be a snap. Will be new one be? I hope not, but check it out! |
