Okay... someone explain to me how people think it's appropriate, some even seem to think necessary, to start calling people Hitler? What on earth could ANYONE in SL be doing that would equate to mass genocide?

Get some historical perspective here. Unless you're talking about abortion, where there's at least some semblance of an arguement about mass murder, or war of some kind, you need to gain some historical perspective before opening your mouth again.

And don't give me that "Oh, I'm not comparing -them- to Hitler, just their speech to Hitler"... yeah, right... and I'm not comparing -your mother- to a syphilitic whore, I'm just comparing her appearance to one.

It's more a bit of a rant against Godwins. I hate them even in more blood thirsty topics, but when you're talking about people's pixilated worlds, it's just stupid. Even Godwin himself made allowances for hitler comparisons when it could be logically argued as valid... it's why he opposed hyperbole.

Don't worry Phedre, I've only trapped a jew in an oven once... though if Saul keeps stealing my cookies out of it I might close the oven door on his hand again.

*mutters* Maybe I should sprinkle my cookies with ham....

"Hitleresque" is the new Stalinesque.

.... because "Pol Potesque" and "Saddamesque" just don't roll off the tongue right.

Okay... someone explain to me how people think it's appropriate, some even seem to think necessary, to start calling people Hitler? What on earth could ANYONE in SL be doing that would equate to mass genocide?

Get some historical perspective here. Unless you're talking about abortion, where there's at least some semblance of an arguement about mass murder, or war of some kind, you need to gain some historical perspective before opening your mouth again.

And don't give me that "Oh, I'm not comparing -them- to Hitler, just their speech to Hitler"... yeah, right... and I'm not comparing -your mother- to a syphilitic whore, I'm just comparing her appearance to one.

:mad:


I really really REALLY like your hat.

I sure hope not! Hell, I'll remove it before the thread gets closed... I've seen this image about a million times (give or take ten thousand) in these forums already.

Its certainly not meant to offend.... just y'all talking about Hitler brought that directly to mind.

Oh you must not be from the USA, Americans refer to anything and anyone they do not politically agree with as Hitler. It's nothing... just ignore it. They dont know better. :-)
