Hitler killed himself actually because of the pains he had from a life long sickness.

Yes, I read Mein Kampf

Couldn't agree more. It perpetuates "it could never happen here" sentiment. Hitler was a madman, whereas FOX news anchors, for example, are regular Americans simply telling the plain truth for once.
Haha you made a funny!

German Moviegoers Hail Hitler Pic

(Reuters/Hollywood Reporter )"Downfall," a controversial depiction of Adolf Hitler's final days, has won the Bavarian Film Prize's audience award, one of Germany's top film honors, organizer Bayerische Fernsehen said Wednesday.

The epic drama has been a major box office success in Germany, taking in about EUR30 million ($39.8 million), but many critics have condemned "Downfall" for giving the Nazi leader a too-human face.

The audience award was chosen by viewers of Bayerische film magazine Kino Kino, listeners of radio station Bayern 3 and readers of regional newspaper the Abendzeitung.

The film's director, Oliver Hirschbiegel, will receive the award Jan. 14 at a gala ceremony in Munich, coincidentally the birth place of the Nazi Party.

"Downfall" is Germany's official submission for foreign-language Oscar consideration. Newmarket is releasing the film in the United States, with a Feb. 18 bow in New York and Feb. 25 in Los Angeles.

Preechr F-ing creepy.

"Before amassing his fortune with the enormous royalties from the publication of his hugely popular Mein Kampf, Hitler earned a living by using his artistic skills to produce paintings that were sold to the public or used for postcards. Hitler was a great student of the fine arts and studied music, opera, painting, sculpture, and architecture. While living in Vienna under conditions of poverty, he read voraciously and still managed to spend whatever meager income he had to attend lectures, concerts, opera, and the theater. Even when he barely had enough money to survive he refused to compromise and always purchased the best paints, brushes, paper, and canvas. As a remarkably prolific artist, he is estimated to have created between 2000 and 3000 drawings, watercolors, and oil paintings. His artistic talent revealed itself at an early age and continued painting and drawing throughout his life. Even while behind the front lines in World War 1, he continued to paint in his spare time and contributed instructional drawings and cartoons to the military newspaper..."

Emu Since this thread is now about shirts, you can get 3 shirts for 18 dollars from Family Dollar that are more comfortable than any shit you could get from Wal-Mart.

EisigerBiskuit I buy my shirts anywhere but a Wal-mart, so $18 isn't so bad

Preechr Well, I wasn't so much arguing with your "some people suck" theory as much as I was attempting to build upon it... expand it to an "everybody sucks" theory. I'll give you credit when we win the Nobbel Prize. I heard they were going to take that Pelstinian guy's back... Maybe we'll get that one.

But that's not quite the same thing. What I meant was that Republicans, in 1980, 1988, and during the more recent Newt Gingrich "revolution," were able to play on the fears, ignorance and prejudices of the predominantly white middle class, convicing them that their hard-earned money was being thrown away-- given to lazy welfare cheats. Unspoken, of course, was the incorrect notion that most welfare recipients were non-white or of foreign extraction. Nor did it matter that in reality very little of their money went toward welfare. Nevertheless, in much the way it was done in 1930's Germany, they effectively created scapegoats.

Preechr The "left" is just as bad as the "right" at that, just in a different way. For every Republican racist there's a Democrat that can only identify people by their classification, ie: African-American-Lesbian, Handicapable-Native-American or Mentally-Challenged-Urban-Outdoorsperson. For each class of American, there is an anti-that-class oppressor, even though usually it's just the same fat, evil, white guy with a sicko laugh. ...and a cigar. ...and a top-hat. ...that doesn't pay his fair share of taxes.

To the left, we are each nothing without some sort of group identity, and there's so many of those we each are members of a minority. Add to that each minority has some sort of oppressor, and thus an excuse for everything that we do wrong... To live outside a neatly labeled box is impossible to the left, just as those on the right... the top-hat wearing evil landlords... can't help but see the world in the simplest black and white terms. ...Sometimes literally.

Both sides define most other people primarily by their perceived deficiencies. In the end, most of us are all the same.
