It's pure stupidity to keep trying the same thing over and over again even though it didn't work the first 30 times.

People do not deny the WW2 holocaust or the Armenian genocide because they are stupid. They know damn well that those genocides occured. They deny them because they support them. And it's a good idea to lock up people who support genocide against innocent people. Neither the Jews, gypsies, Slavs, homosexuals or Armenians deserved what happened to them.
