The Post Your Thoughts of the Moment Thread 2

I agree, there were many worse people then Hitler, both before and after WWII.

But that doesn't mean Hitler wasn't a terrible person. Ordering a mass extermination of Jews, gypsies, and the handicapped sounds pretty fucked up to me.

Just like the Rwandan Genocide is. But for some reason people tend to forget about that.

What's that?

No seriously. What is it?

Saying you can't/shouldn't/whatever 4-20 cuz it's the anniversary of Columbine and Hitler's birthday is essentially saying you can't celebrate or observe any day of the year. I can guarantee you that throughout the millenia a million atrocities have come to pass on your own birthday.

Anyway, I agree with Mashi. I wouldn't in any way want to diminish how vile I find WWII to be, but there have historically been more people with an evil bone in their body. Hitler just happens to be the most recent and notorious as he is the most fresh in our collective memories. Also, it's shocking to us that something so terrible could happen so recently that our great-grandparents were all alive and kicking when it happened.
Not to mention, the amount of literature and coverage WWII, Hitler, and the Holocaust have received have propelled the entire period of 1939-1945 forever into the history books and public sentiment.

And to end on a related note, NOT TO SOUND LIKE A STONER, but I'm pretty sure many of these things could have been avoided if all the involved parties had just blazed and relaxed every now and then, ahaha.

@Dude: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rwandan_Genocide :

"The Rwandan Genocide was the 1994 mass murder of an estimated 800,000 people in the small East African nation of Rwanda. Over the course of approximately 100 days from the assassination of Juvénal Habyarimana on April 6 through mid-July, at least 800,000 people were killed, according to a Human Rights Watch estimate.[1] Other estimates of the death toll have ranged between 500,000 and 1,000,000,[2] or as much as 20% of the country's total population. It was the culmination of longstanding ethnic competition and tensions between the minority Tutsi, who had controlled power for centuries, and the majority Hutu peoples, who had come to power in the rebellion of 1959â€"1962 and overthrown the Tutsi monarchy."

Got my driver's license finally. Not that I have any real use for it. But still nice to have it anyway just in case.

Well, Congrats! My best friend had to do that... just in case, you know?

I live in an area where walking around isn't necessarily the best mode of transport. It's kinda strange, we're urban/suburban.
