Originally posted by Theresa Why don't you make up your mind on which quote you want to use...?? List of people who have died from suicide. Look at that list... I dare you to tell me that every single one of those people were stupid.

+1, it's sad to see that kind of attitude towards suicide because of an irrational stigmatisation.

And what's with the hug fest? I want to hug you guys too

((((Group Hug))))

The most intelligent post in this thread.

I find it appaling that people would call Hitler "Great", "Smart", or anything positive for that matter.

Great people to me were Copernicus, Newton, Mozart, Bethoven, Lincoln, Einstein, Ghandi, etc. Those people contributed to this world by existing. They made it somehow better and left a lasting contribution.

What has Hitler done? At the peak of his popularity, this abominable degenerate that you call "smart" was establishing a state that encouraged citizen spying on citizen, totalitarian state very similar to communism in principles and concepts, murder, blackmail, complete elimination of basic freedoms... Heck, he even taught russians a thing or two about totalitarism.

Don't call him "smart" - you may say he was "diabolical", "cunning" or even "shrewed" or "insidious", "deviant" and "zealous" but by no means he can be considered "SMART" by normal, thinking human being.

Smart person does not murder people, evil one does.
Smart person does not destroy the world around him, monstrous one does.

Nor is his name worthy of being next to word "Great", unless it is used in a context of "murderer of countles GREAT PEOPLE", "Destroyer of many great things like books, artworks, historical buildings and sites", etc.

Don't give the attributes to this monster that he does not deserve. To forget what he has done, to allow things like "great" or "smart" slip into same sentence as "Hitler" is an abomination and must not be allowed.

Intelligence brings about great evil sometimes. Nuclear weapons being an example.

Intelligence is the horsepower behind the actions. The motivation is the torque. What you do with those is something else to be judged, but to say that Hitler was stupid because all he did was seize the moment and use it...thats what smart people DO. they recognize these things. I doubt many people in Germany back then had dreams of taking over the world. Yet, they almost got Europe.

He was charismatic, intelligent, and yes, crazy. He went absolutely nuts eventually, but a lot of intelligent people are manic depressives and do amazing things when manic.

Im not saying I like Hitler, AT ALL. but Nazi Germany is one of the most powerful representations in world history of what some motivation, symbolism and demonization can do.

Psychologists and sociologists have learned a lot from the phenomenon and we still use similar tactics in war propaganda.

It was an amazing time for non-jewish Germans. A time of hope, a feeling of crawling out of the garbage pile.

Germany has now made it illegal to bear a swazi because of how ashamed they are about it. Everyone needs a powerful leader to make a nation a NATION not a bunch of dudes hanging out locally.

Imagine if he had turned that tide towards an industrial revolution, exporting merchandise, or education reform.

He did evil things and died. Not a good life or a good man.

Also, hes WAY better than stalin.
