Figures - someone finally says something sensible and gets jumped on. If there was one very important lesson to learn from WW2, this was it. Hitler ultimately killed jews because deep down, he believed it would make the world a better place. You can agree or disagree with his ideology, but it's just a question of perspectives. If no one understands that, then what's to prevent it from happening all over again? Labeling people with childish and idiotic terms like "evil" only contributes to the problem - which is, ultimately, that it's easier to hate someone than bother understanding them.

Will Smith, of course, being the first person to ever say something sensible regarding Hitler and WWII.

Then Swamper and his entourage of 30, who were all wearing TA monogramed Rolexes, left the room and flew to Hawaii for a few hours because Del wanted fresh coconut. To his defense, Trump didn't even really look like a bum.

Nothing at all. But for some reason I always always get the two of you confused. No idea why. I think you had similar avatars at one point.

Could be that you're both equally annoying though

You are a massive idiot.

Looks like some bitter journalist wanted to twist his words into something much more inflammatory. He said that Hitler's logic was twisted and he probably believed that he was doing 'good' even when he was doing evil. Nobody would find that offensive, or disagreeable. But WENN (who the fuck are they anyway?) just had to spin into something that will definitely push a few buttons:

quote:

Will Smith has stunned the world by declaring that even Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler was essentially a "good" person.

I'm not really defending Smith, because celebrities should know better than to speak about sensitive issues with the media. What I hate is how they twist people's words into something completely different to manipulate others. That's not fair.

They do this so much with more important issues and it angers me. What's stopping them from doing this with politicians and swaying people's opinions and votes? You just know that some people are going to read this and eat it up like they always do, even though the article is contradictory and full of shit.

Will Smith has stunned the world by declaring that even Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler was essentially a "good" person. (Advertisement) The Men In Black star, 39, is determined to see the best in people, and is convinced the former German leader did not fully understand the extent of the pain and suffering his actions would cause during his time in power in the 1930s and '40s. He says, "Even Hitler didn't wake up going, 'Let me do the most evil thing I can do today'. "I think he woke up in the morning and using a twisted, backwards logic, he set out to do what he thought was 'good'. Stuff like that just needs reprogramming." Hitler's totalitarian leadership as Fuhrer during 1934 until his eventual suicide in 1945 resulted in the persecution of an estimated six million Jews in the Holocaust, and his invasion of Poland in 1939 led to the start of the Second World War.

Nowhere did Will Smith say Hitler was a good person. Great "spin" by the reporter..

No, he'd be making exactly the same point, just in a manner easier for people to misinterpret.

I don't think Will Smith should be commenting on such a topic to the media (look what they did..), but what he said in this article, he said nothing inflammatory at all. And the Zionists are going apeshits over this!!

Now, the Jewish Defense League is calling for a boycott of Smith's movies. "If people do not understand how idiotic and insensitive it was to make such a comment, it is like a Jew saying that James Earl Ray, the assassin of Rev. Martin Luther King, was basically a good person who did a "bad thing," the group said in a statement on its Web site.
