It wasn't just the hyper inflation. Political instability and the using of scape goats on Jews, Communists, Socialists and others allowed the Right to govern how they saw fit. They even thought they could control Hitler (which, as we all know, didn't work according to plan). Hell, in the Schliemann era, hyper inflation was actually down (though this was because of the constant loans from the USA) and only cause of the Wall Street Crash of '29 which made USA call back all loan repayments caused massive hyper inflation and a rise in the Nazi support/other right support. However, if the WSC didn't happen, then the Dawes and Young Plan probably would of worked out, but there was going to be a time before 1988 (I think that is the approximate year) that would of screwed up those plans. Enter Nationalist Socialist Workers Party.Phatscotty wrote:yes, after all, it was "do what the gov't says, or else....." wasn't it? they were just following the "law of the land", as misguided as it was. Which is why people must learn from the effects of hyper-inflation, and we must stop the insanity of "deficits don't matter"

I'm not one to leap to S0S's defence, and have often told him off - but if what you get from his post is that he's a racist, you probably think I'm (hunts for suitably unlikley possibility...) a car mechanic.2dimes wrote:Well... I supose you could, but that makes you one of them. You're just another simple minded racist who can't see that the nazis were scum, if you lump all the Germans in with the nazis, just because most of the actual nazis were German and Austrian. So yeah I have no idea why anyone would.SultanOfSurreal wrote:it's easy to tell yourself that every single german living in germany between 1930 and 1945 happened to be magical subhuman supervillains.
Well.. They did attach them.. Just didn't attach the nerve endings. Nevertheless, those numerous twins probably got gassed as well.john9blue wrote:Well... did it work?Skittles! wrote:Awful stuff, and the stories of how they got dwarves and twins and did surgery on them, cutting off each of their arms and putting it on the other twin to see if it would work.

Hitler wasn't an idiot, he was just mentally unstable and an avid drug user.hahaha3hahaha wrote:I don't think you understand my point of view at all buddy.

Of course I don't mean everyone that was in the area, of a particular nationality or colour, or even everyone in the uniform. I mean the guys that liked what they were doing. I've met a few people that still think that way. Watching the films make me realise how nasty it really is.

Fair enough. Actually there were several members making that sort of statement. Like I said, if he was missleading his staff that supposedly knew what they were doing and could have won if he had not prevented them. I think they would have revolted.hahaha3hahaha wrote:I don't think you understand my point of view at all buddy.

No, he was mentally unstable, as he was making irrational tactics and ideas near the end of the war (such as not giving into a ceasefire, when many of his generals believed they should seeming it was known Germany was going to lose). It has nothing to do with having a different opinion to mine (in fact, I am always in awe in the speed he conquered almost the whole of Europe in such a short time, but of course that means nothing).hahaha3hahaha wrote:So a person is labelled as mentally unstable if their opinions differ from yours?

I'm sure he'll leap to his own defence, but he'll probably be swearing and flingin insults around. Which has always been my problem with him. I just wanted to say, he wasn't saying what you thought he said. What I think he meant to say was that thinking only Germans and Austrians are capable of atrocities, or that ordinary people of other places are not, is taking the wrong lesson from history.2dimes wrote:The wonderfull advances in birthcontrol, dive tables and other medical areas are clearly way beyond the capabilities of discussion here. I'll stick with my opinion that "using Juden instead of lab rats/chimps because they share more traits with humans." as being racist, but hey, at least they wern't as bad as Stallin. Eh?

Regardless you have not posted anything that would lead me to think you're a automotive mechanic. I do find it a little odd that you don't think placing "every single German" in any particular catagory other than being born in the same country would be racist. I suppose nationality isn't race so I have miss used the term but I have heard jewish isn't a race either.
Hmmm. Well the intent of my follow up was to agree with the sarcasm as far as... In my opinion anyone thinking Hitler was an idiot can't possibly be thinking this out or must be missing tons of information somehow. I'm tired of the "Stallin" was worse thing. The break was meant to seperate the second part where I was defending myself against the "Stop saying all the Germans were nazis" which I never said. In fact right away in the thread I specifically stated "not all the Germans were."hahaha3hahaha wrote:My first post was sarcastic- your follow-up didn't correspond at all though.
To your other question...I cannot express my true opinions seeing that Xtrata got banned for his opinions on the holocaust. I am not a Nazi or anything, keep in mind, I just think of things differently to other people. All I wanted to say in this thread was that the dumbfucks who posted in this thread and tried to use all sorts of American politics and jargon to impress, are just idiots, they obviously don't understand 2 shits about Hitler, Nazis, the holocaust, or any other associated matter.
The shocks were administered to point of being fatal if real, by 2/3 of the people tested. They had feedback simulating close to fatal and they kept going, many of the women were crying while they kept applying more lethal shocks.neanderpaul14 wrote:john9blue wrote:By "Nazis" do you mean the ranking officials or the average soldier?

The Milgram experiments prove nothing, I'd give strangers mild electric shocks just for the hell of it, I've done it to coworkers several times in the past just for fun, and for the "shock value".
Well, he took a portion of my sentence, quoted it, then started his babble with the full sentence I quoted. Even though several times in this thread I had stated my position that "German does not equal nazi." Then he went on to say, "Well you know, they were just like you but ended up taking orders etc.."sic.jonesthecurl wrote:I'm sure he'll leap to his own defence, but he'll probably be swearing and flingin insults around.
