I was trying to prove how many lives, had been lost, and that 6 Million is not a small number of people, and thank you for pointing out my spelling mistake, I'll go and fix that. Thank you both for your input on this.

I'm not sure what to make of this. On the one hand, it's so far-fetched that it's hilarious, but on the other hand, it's so far-fetched that it makes absolutely no sense.

Oh well. It amused me, the first half in particular. The Tarot and Rape of Nanking connection though was not very clear, especially since you've apparently misspelled "Nanking".

Hi there! I see you're new to YWS; welcome! I'm sure you'll get some good reviews here, and hopefully you'll do a bit of reviewing yourself.

Now, onto the review:

I'm not sure I understand this very much. I'm rather fond of using mathematics to prove points; I've done it several times myself. I applaud you for sitting down and taking the time to work out all these calculations, but I'm not sure what point you're trying to get across here. So, there are 7.3 million vegetarians in America, which is more than the people killed in the Holocaust. Are you saying that you'd like to wipe out all the vegetarians in America, or are you trying to preserve vegetarianism? I just think your point has to be clearer. Frankly, I don't think vegetarians can be compared to the Holocaust. The Holocaust was a tragic event caused by one CRAZY, INSANE man, whereas vegetarians are just normal people who choose not to eat meat. I don't see the connection. But then again, that's just me.

As for the Rape of Nanking equation, I'm not sure I follow the math. Then again, that's just me.

I hope this helps!
