You know what doesn't sit well with me - is labeling those believe there are evil people in this world. I'm sure Pachy didn't plan on this thread becoming a discussion about Hitler so I don't blame him. I'm not even of that particular religion and I'm offended - I can't imagine how members who are this religion feel(trying to stay in the guidelines). Poor little Hitler was abused as a child and painted pictures - it makes his crimes easy to swallow. Shame on us for labeling him evil - I wonder how the people lined up waiting for the gas chambers felt. Did you think how descendants of these victims feel, reading this thread?

I don't consider myself a judgmental person, but sometimes you just have to say it like it is. Hmmmm -so lets do away with a labels and let society run wild and if anyone takes a stand, we'll just label them judgemental and not philosophically evolved. Go and tell a mother who buried her child because of a predator, he wasn't evil. Tell the mother in Nigeria, who husband sold her son -to be sacrificed and buried into the foundation of a building for good luck - that they weren't evil. How about William Dinkel - who surfed the net on mental health sites looking for vulnerable people - he be- friended them and talked to them for months, convincing and coaching them how to kill themselves(BTW he's been formally charged -2 victims formally). There are prisoners in jail who are incurably evil - they will re-offend and they don't care what you think - no amount of blind kindness and understanding will fix them. So somethings wrong with me because I chose to call people like this evil.

I think if this thread continues and it's a good thread - Hitler should be taken out of the discussion, because the title isn't 'Was Hitler Evil?'
