Kind of reminds me of those parents who named their kids Aryan and Hitler. Or those people who said they were going to order a confederate flag cake for their babies birthdays.

I can't believe Ewing let his emotions get the better of him in the Strasburg thread. What a shame.

Hitler Quote Slips Into Pennsylvania High School's Yearbook

It is sad when's schools apologize for not censoring speech.

Y'know it would've been better if they had used the quote but put "-Anonymous". I mean, the quote itself isn't bad. Hitler was probably the most evil political leader in modern history but he was a strange person in that he did things that we'd look at and admire such as being a vegetarian and not smoking.

Oh well...The principal or whoever edited the yearbook should've known better.

OWWWW!

It's a big if, but I believe Hitler would be looked at as one of the greatest leaders in the history of the world if he wasn't anti-everything. He was a rhetorical genius.

Oh, it's one of the great joys of OS. Any time I see a new pink name, you bet I'm clicking on that sucker to see the recent posts.

How do I see the recent posts? When I click on a pink name it takes me to a page about activating the account or something.

The only reason he was able to take over Germany was racism, fear, and hatred.

He only managed any turning around of the economy through illegal militarization.

If Hitler "wasn't anti-everything" he wouldn't have been Hitler. He has the highest body count of anyone to ever exist and started the most deadly war of all time.

The only good things about his existence were the creation of nuclear weapons and making it probable that nobody like him will ever take power of a major state again

Re: Off Topic 2010

Been out all day. Had to help my mom take her 130 lb Newfoundland to the vet. He had surgery to repair a luxating patella and a torn tendon last week and had to go get the staples out. He's supposed to be taking it easy for 6 weeks, but he was acting like he hadn't even had surgery 2 days after the operation. Anyways, I had to help with getting him in and out of my moms Duragno. Poor baby is traumatized because every time he gets in the car it's to go to the Dr.s

I hate waiting for packages. This one requires my signature since it's pretty expensive (components for a computer), but it'll be worth it when I can get it set up. I just hate missing work, because I was in the flow when I left.

I know what you mean. I spent Monday waiting for a package from UPS. Tracking info said it went out for delivery at 7:20 AM EDT but it didn't get here until about 6:05 PM.

I'd just take the cash value of anything I won on there (which I believe is an option). You have to pay taxes on the value of prizes anyway, so might as well just get it over with and buy what you want.

Same here, especially since I can't drive and I don't need all that fancy stuff they usually have as prizes.

Is it just me, or do other people like to see the trail up to someone getting banned? I know I shouldn't enjoy this, but I do...

I am also guilty of this

As a final thought, I think the recent line of posts needs to stop as it's treading dangerously close to violating the TOS.

He had a golden tongue........that is about it. He was one of those people that could say hey I think you should jump off the bridge and people would do it.

That's funny. I surprised he didn't get wrote up for that.

Re: Off Topic 2010

There is no Court more worthless for Americans than the 9th Circuit Federal Appellate Court. They have so many bad, mind numbing stupid decisions and now this when there was already precedent from DC, meaning they should have known when this hits SCOTUS it will go the way it went in DC. To me however that was the lesser of the two evils, how can that man be sentenced to 51 months for what he did? (Rhetorical question, I know how and I hate mandatory minimum sentences).

Technically the 9th circuit isn't bound by the DC court's decision. They can use it if they want, but they don't have to follow it.

To me, the only real invasion of privacy is going on to the man's property, but if the car was sitting outside then he can't really reasonably expect a high level of privacy with respect to his car. Anybody could go up to his car and touch it and look inside.

Additionally, the only information that the GPS was gathering was information that could have been gathered by simple surveillance. The policy reasoning behind a situation like this is that a GPS does the job of a police officer trailing a suspect, but at a fraction of the cost and is more effective.

With that said, they probably should have gotten a warrant, but I suppose at the time there wasn't enough probable cause.

I totally I agree with you, but I'm saying if given the same position as a "good guy", he may now be considered among the greatest leaders in history.

Of course, you're right in that Germany wouldn't have been strong enough to be considered a power without him breaking the Treaty of Versailles, militarizing and what not. So my hypothetical would be unlikely even with a "good" Hitler.

I just believe he was wasted potential with his charisma.
