I was simply stating that Nazi Germany didn't invent itself around antisemitism (and antislavism to a certain extent) without a reason.

It's different when you don't have a lynch mob or armed guards and a gas chamber... to think your race is 'superior' when your getting your ass kicked by a black jew one on one, or a thieving gypsy, or an englishman with dark skin, or etc etc. Aryans are the biggest pussies of all when push comes to shove, unless they have more mob number going for them. The KKK are cowards hiding behind hoods for christ sake! (literally... supposedly for 'christ's sake'). Hitler spawned that brand of ignorant violent lethal hate. He didn't seed it, the klan had to do with slavery and dumb southerners who didn't understand what 'all men are created equal' meant and were pissed that they had to surrendur to the northerners (i wish we would have just let them leave, personally i hate the country and country music and hicks and klans and lynchins and skinheads and football teams out of tennesse and nashville and knoxville and dollywood... why didn't we just let them seceed? Then Mexican illegal immigration could be their problem and the Confedaracy could be our buffer zone. But I digress... gosh i could go on for a while).

But Hitler took it to a pinnacle That pinnacle of gas chambers and racial issues is far different than adopting your enemies orphans like Timujin did.

Damn, you've got a lot of hate for southerners. Would you say all that you just wrote face to face with one, or would you not, figuring you'd end up like the skinheads you challenge to go to the inner city?

Not only a lot of hate, but doesn't really have a clue about what he's ranting about.

All that needs doing with this rant is to replace the word "Southerner" with Jew and the word "Mexican" with Gypsy and we have a fine idea of how Hitler was able to gain power in Germany. It seems the idea is that it's okay to hate a group of people and elevate another group as long asit's the right group.

My wife's family is from East Texas. Farmers, truckers and construction workers they are, to a man. I know how his rant would play out if he delivered it in person to them.

THANK YOU FOR GETTING THE POINT!! sorry if it seemed offensive it was intended to resemble nazi thinking, not to offend you guys. For the record before everybody hates me soon... I live in the country.

Yeah, I think you don't tend to read my posts anymore, which is a shame because I explained what was wrong with his post earlier;

"That said, there is certainly a huge problem with anti-semitism in many parts of the Muslim world. In many places it's getting worse. But the difference between acknowledging that and predicting the muslims will side with the Nazis again is the difference between a considered opinion and a bigoted one."

dogma wrote:Its a bit different though, as Hindus outnumber Muslims in the proximity of the subcontinent. Its almost a weird sort of inversion of what exists in the Middle East.

That said, the primary conflict between Hindus and Muslims (India v. Pakistan) has less to do with religion than it does with a 60 year old territorial dispute.

Well, the conflict between the Hindus and the Muslims is a whole lot older than a 60 year territorial dispute.

And the Hindu opinion of the Muslims is rarely kind*. Which just fits with the tendency of every group to dislike other groups. The Western idea of racial and ethnic tolerance is not the default state, which is exactly why we have to be so careful in protecting it.

*Although, interestingly enough, the opinions of Muslims I met in India was to identify primarily with India, and complain about Pakistanis.

That depends on the degree to which your particular Hindu is focused on the subcontinent.

No, I didn't catch your sarcasm in that post, nor do I believe it in light of other posts you've made.

With the last sentence I get it now, you're just being passive aggressive.

**Guitardian**

Sarcasm is hard to sense in type I suppose and I get in this kind of verbal fisticuffs frequently when I forget that.

Unfortunately, once I go down in history for build-a-better-gas chamber and eliminate the culture that is different from my own, I will have to start getting rid of the dissenters who don't agree that I am right... So i guess you're next on the list Grignard. I hope at least now you can see the smirk, because if not, the city folk with all their financial and industrial might will be down there looking for you in tennessee and enforcing their right and responsibility to eliminate you for the sake of the human race. No hard feelings of course, I'm just trying to save humanity here. Maybe that's how Hitler will be remembered... Martyring himself trying to save us all, with the best of intentions (well depending which side of 'us' you fall on). Somehow I doubt it though.

**reds8n**

..hmmm

..

Well this thread appears to be about done now and, amazingly enough, Hitler is still a massive douche at the end of it ! Who'd have figured.

We've laughed, we've cried, some of us have perhaps died a little inside at times. And Hitler, once again, asserts his unique dominace on the OT board of Dakka. For shame.. can't we all just be about love and stuff ? We can't bring Hitler into that now can we !

.... oh
