I still think my idea rocks. ^_^

Edit: Actually wait, better yet... email the ENTIRE COMPANY with that link and point out how the new pope is a nazi! LOL.


Do you even know what a Nazi is?

Do you know what a hitler youth was????????????????????????????

Hitler youths were junior members of the National Socialist Party.


Wrong. The Hitler youth was a club for children used by the Nazi's to Indoctrinate children in National Socialist idelogy of the NAZI Party.

They were not anymore a Nazi than a conscript draftee serving in the Bundeswehr. Hell most of the German officers were not Nazi's. The SS is a different story.

Wrong.

The Hitler Youth (named Hitlerjugend in German, abbreviated HJ), was a paramilitary organization of the Nazi Party that existed from 1922 to 1945. The Hitler Youth was the second oldest paramilitary Nazi group, founded one year after the Sturmabteilung (SA) Stormtroopers.

Hitler Youths=Nazis. The fact, though, that he deserted contravenes any charges against him, imho (yes I should have read further before originally posting).

 
He did motivate a lot of people. He also scared the sh!t out of people into shutting the fvck up. It's easy to get caught up in the propoganda and think that he was a better leader than he actually was. Stalin had huge parades, but no one ever calles him a great leader. Many of the those huge nazi rallies were actually poorly attended, but were shot in a certain way to show that they were much larger than they really were. This is my main point of reference.

As for the article, I think calling the new pope a nazi is no accurate, though the hitler youths were nazis:
I agree with you. Though my focus wasn't on thoes staged rallies.

That book you referenced is amazingly similar to the american culture we currently live in.

we will just have to agree to disagree. I have a hard time calling a 12 year old a Nazi. especially when it was compulsory to join and get brain washed on how wonderful Hitler was.

Dude, I'm going to hell 😱
Brush up on your history. It was Mussolini who made the trains run on time in Italy. Not Hitler in Germany.
Don't tell me to brush up on sh!t. You didn't get the joke.
I'm talking about different trains (think Eichmann).
Well... I didn't get that joke because I don't see it as humorous.

But (as I think you are discovering) the new Pope was not willing put into the Hitler Youth. That makes condemning him for it about the same as condemning a rape victim for being raped, don't ya think?

my friend at work received this email from her boss (big company, she works in a totally different department)--

SUBJ: Catholic Church Breaking News!
BODY: The smoke is white, a new pope was elected!

My friend and I agree that this kind of message is completely inappropriate. It's bad enough to send it at all, but to send it to all your subordinates is quite tacky imo.

Wouldn't bother me at all.
