    no i wouldn't. i don't believe in the death penalty under any circumstance. but i would certainly relieve him of any freedoms he thought he was entitled to.

    i dunnoo... you'd torture him cause he's a prick and you're the one making the calls now... i don't know... the same reasons that anybody else would torture anybody else for i guess... cause you're a devil inside, and you know it! j/k

    but wouldn't you think that your opinion would completely change if the opportunity was there and there were emotions involved? like say, you really got really really pissed off beyond any reigns of reason so you were totally disgusted and angry that you wanted to kill him/torture him? i think mine would... and would i be justified for feeling that?

    i dunno... i'm just asking cause, well, it's in my head right now. :D

    no, my answer wouldn't change. and there are emotions involved. and yes im sure i would want to inflict grievous harm upon him for what he did, but my resolve is greater than that and i will not stoop to the level of an eye for an eye just to satiate my anguish. it will not bring back those who perished. as humans i believe we need to be better than that. otherwise what do we have?

    can i ask what you felt when you saw the photos or whatever of saddam hussein's execution?

    ps. stuff to do. be back later. :)

    i know what you mean... it's crazy feeling... even when i see two people fighting the look on their faces like they've gone insane. but it's different when you're the one fighting... it's inevitable when you want to make a point across.... on the other person's face, that is.

    i know exactly what you mean by it. but would you justify someone else if they paid a person back?

    The death penalty negates the point you are trying to make - that life is sacred. I don't believe anyone has the right to take a life, unless it's in self-defense.

    as ive said before i feel we, as humans, should be above an eye for an eye retribution. but as for how i would judge someone else for their actions in wanting payback, it is not my place to judge them. one has to live with oneself before all else.

    As we can see before then and since. Things happen in war and the world has to live with it. There are more then just Hitler who should be put to death for crimes against humanity. A lot more! Just because you are on the winning team dosen't mean you did right the whole time.

    yep, he definitely deserved the death penalty for what he did.

    that's true, but we're not talking about everyone else...the question is about Hitler.

    So I will go on about Hitler. He kept the population down. Good thing. His scientists came up with revolutionary stuff. Good thing. He went a little too far to control the world. Bad thing. He wanted to keep Germany, German. Good thing. No I don't think he should have been put to death if he was caught. Life in prison would be good enough.

    My personal view is that I would have no problem sentencing Hitler to the death penalty if he were caught. Most of the time I support life in prison as the punishment, but for true monsters like Hitler, that punishment seems too light.

    a little too far? I'd hate to hear what you think is extremely excessive.

    Yes, I would have had him executed following a war crimes (crimes against humanity) trial. He would have remained a threat and a rallying point for the Nazi movement if he had been allowed to live out his life in prison.

    WHAAAATTT???!!!! Are you lucid? Kept the population down? The population of whom? Why would that even be necessary...the earth is a huge place...plenty of room for everyone! But wait, China is very overpopulated, maybe someone should go in there and start bumping people off to make room.

    "He wanted to keep Germany, German"...so if someone wants to keep America, white...thats ok too? Imagine if the natives of this country, the Indians...remember them?....decided to kill off the rest of the non Indians because they wanted to keep their land Indian....would that be ok?

    His scientists came up with "revolutionary stuff". Oh sure...by deforming, mutilating and heinously painful experimentation. Ever hear about that? Today we have laws so that they cannot test medicines or cosmetics on animals, but it was ok to torture humans for the same cause??????? This was a good thing??!!

    It's people who think like you who destroy humanity. Ignorance at large.
    Makes much more sense, to live in the present tense.

    so stupidity ruins society, I think you should be exterminated. Good thing.

    great point....

    he remained a rallying point for the Nazi movement after his death because of the claims that he didn't commit suicide, escaped from the Allied forces, and fled to countries that were sympathetic to the Nazi regime

    just think of how much more it would be had he been imprisoned....

    Yes, I would.

    I am usually against the death penalty, not for humanitarian reasons, but the fact that we continue to convict innocent people. In cases where someone is caught in the act, or there is ABSOLUTE, indisputable evidence, I am ok with it for the most heinous of crimes (like Hitler).

    Thanks for proving a point on how fast one can slip into the same mentality as Hitler. ;)

    I would tie him to a cactus in the middle of the Arizona desert and do test launches for nuclear missles right at his feet

    And I think he'd be getting off easy

    I'll never understand the reasoning in his theory that he was gonna make a master race of whites and get rid of all the sub-par peoples.

    He was a sawed-off idiot who got owned by his own scummy morals and caught the syphillis. His half-witted assumptions about war completely tanked the whole thing for Germany and the guy he has running the military was completely perverted and weird. Those idiots still subscribed to the simplistic pagan myths about the seasons and the moon & the sun. How in the fuck did they consider themselves advanced enough to take on the world when they were completely delusional about all sides of life?

    Nothing about him and his cronies was anything close to being the master of any race. There's something fishy about the whole scenario, way too over-the-top.

    Discard their personal beliefs about race and religion if you'd like, but Hitler military ideas were actually pretty brilliant.

    If the Japanese hadn't gotten the U.S. involved, Hitler would have certainly taken all of Europe. Then it would've come down to the U.S. as the last defense. I daresay we'd be speaking German today if the U.S. hadn't gotten involved when it did.

    But I'll leave that for the war buffs.
