Hey sport, if it's not anything to do with Hitler (the object of this thread), what place does it have here?Originally posted by chronicles:and pray tell me what your actions were so as to change the mindset of people and preach about democracy, i was talking about democracy in the sense that no one has a right to control over your thought, it was not even pertained to Mr.Hitler at all
"At least"? "AT LEAST"?!Originally posted by chronicles:At least i do not Misread people's articles and try to make it sound like they have a different opinion
you are contridicting yourself....Originally posted by chronicles:If people have their own beliefs they like who are you to change that, you also would not want people going to the streets insulting your religon or beliefs and trying to convert you.This is a DEMOCRATIC country afterall, we can only advise not change them so long as they do not start a genocide or anything!and you dare to talk about freedom when you obviously are trying to control over thought
I don't see hitler fit any... maybe except for number 3... after all, he is the 'hero' of genocidal maniacs.

Hey, would you guys believe this?Originally posted by chronicles:I am even suprised you can get a job or at the most go to a school due to your horrible linguistic skills, i said everyone has a right to worship/idolise who they want to as this is a DEMOCRATIC country as long as they do not MURDER anybody but did i ever say hitler's actions were not wrong?, at my previous arguments as well i was also implying what we do to some people now is almost comparable to what Hitler does as well.
When i say anyone has a right to idolise who they like either you or someone else said hitler was my hero
Good! Good! PLEASE give up hope! You're obviously thinking off-tangent and with a skewed (ir)rationality and as far as you're concerned, Silence is Golden and Good Riddance!Originally posted by chronicles:Tsk tsk seeing how you misinterpret my text i give up hope..maybe you should carefully read along the lines

So damn angry while reading it...
Do these kids even know what they are doing?
have these KIDS watched movies like
schindler's list
pianist
Diary of Anne Frank???
Of coz there can be good sides of those evil people. But this is one guy who made a decision that took millions of life... broke away families... How good can a guy like this be? And all these for his own benefit. To get rid of the smart n rich jews and to create the so call Perfect human race. I bet he did not regret on his doings when he took his own life to save himself from humiliations.
and these singaporean kids... its not as if they are Germans!!!
Don't they know that according to their Idol Hitler, they are just Yellow Trash?
No need to think about that at all. There's no lack of freedom here.Originally posted by chronicles:Look mr gednakan you talked about freedom yet want to control over thought maybe you would like to think about that first
Disagree. Please read through this thread and you will see more than a few cited examples of how Hitler exercised poor leadership, regardless of morality.Originally posted by earthlings73:Ah.. another attempt for TNP to sentionalise the story..
Remember, this is a combined band camp.. and they selected Hitler as a LEADERSHIP model.. in the way to he LEAD.. Hitler indeed has the kind of charissma that others do not have..
And remember, they also recognised the evil deeds Hitler did. But I don't think they approve of these deeds themselves..
Hence, I would not see anything wrong with such a selection..
There's a difference between "LEADERSHIP QUALITIES" and "MORALITY"..
Hitler has abundance of this first but lack of the second (even so, it depends on which side of the looking glass are you watching from)..
gays were targeted too during the cleansing..Originally posted by elindra:Your comparison would be relevant if gays are being murdered or tortured and put into concentration camps.
Your argument seems to be swinging out of tangent here and I really cannot comprehend what are you trying to get at. As well, kindly enlighten us on what that PhD historian or those decorated learned people have to say and laugh at what some of us said. I believe that alot of us would be interested to know the exact details instead of sweeping statements. It would be a good learning experience as well.
i have read.. but there are more personal attacks/flaming than solid evidences from either camps..Originally posted by Gedanken:Disagree. Please read through this thread and you will see more than a few cited examples of how Hitler exercised poor leadership, regardless of morality.
Ok, but I was talking more in terms of how he is comparing on the current social problems or biasness against gays and how the Germans targeted the Jews.Originally posted by earthlings73:gays were targeted too during the cleansing..
http://gaylife.about.com/cs/gay101/a/gayhitler.htm
they were identified by PINK TRIANGLES in the concentration camps..
Jewish gays are the worst lot though..
That's odd... I saw quite a few posts with solid evidences. Start at Page 1 and you'll see.Originally posted by earthlings73:i have read.. but there are more personal attacks/flaming than solid evidences from either camps..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_ShepardOriginally posted by elindra:Ok, but I was talking more in terms of how he is comparing on the current social problems or biasness against gays and how the Germans targeted the Jews.
What I meant was, if we did treat gays as how the Germans than, treated the Jews, we would have concentration camps filled with tortured gays right now.
I was taking current contex and not history
Actually, all right wingers should be hated. They are the ones who ride roughshod over the needs of minorities and seek to put them down at whatever cost. Just look at President Bush, for example, and you get my drift.Originally posted by earthlings73:anyway, i hate Hitler as a person.. i hate gay bashers..
but then it's out of topic..
we have to first define "leadership"..Originally posted by Rhonda:That's odd... I saw quite a few posts with solid evidences. Start at Page 1 and you'll see.
In comparing various leadership styles in many cultures, academic studies have examined the patterns in which leadership emerges and then fades, sometimes by natural succession according to established rules and sometimes by the imposition of brute force. Some scholars choose to judge the effectiveness of leadership by the size of the following that the "leader" can muster. By this standard, Adolf Hitler became a very effective leader even if through delusional promises and coercive troops.
you know what.. when i saw george bush on the TV screen just now.. i felt like smashing his face.. then i realise that the only thing that will get hurt is my fist.. that's where i stop..Originally posted by iveco:Actually, all right wingers should be hated.
