that kind of simplistic, child-like thinking sends a chill down my spine
when people just shut down at the mention of certain word(s) as if they are imbued with some kind of evil power that is unleashed by speaking/writing them... wth???
this kind of thinking/living leads to a state where those things that scare people are just never mentioned... they pretend the scary parts don't exist - which allows them to grow unchecked and unchallenged in any way
just the VERY NOTION that one can't bring up the Nazi party without noting obviously that they were the eminent global evil force of their day, REINFORCES the very techniques that are touched upon in OP's new sig
By treating another person AS a Nazi.. for DISCUSSING Nazis in an open and honest way (i.e. that we benefit from SS derived technology every day) is actually (drumroll please) ACTING LIKE NAZI
things that make you go 'hmmmmmm'

yeah, well, Jewish people don't always think rationally when it comes to the Nazi regime. I still get lectures from my Dad a couple times a year about the Holocaust and I'm 24-- he still doesn't think I get it

If I were to ever use a nazi quote as support for an argument about the bush administration, I'd probably get smacked up a lot, despite any logical value the statement may have.
I agree it's frustrating, but try not to let it get to you, I doubt you'll convince 3 Dollar Hooker to get the core idea of what you're saying (or what evanft is saying) just out of principle...as simple of a concept it may be.
on a similar note: I was flipping through Quotations From Chairman Mao this weekend-- there's a lot of good stuff in it! Too bad he didn't put any of it to practice in any logical way and ended up

ing that place horribly :lol:
