Remembering Hitler ...

“For those that believe that we should not speak ill of the dead, I present to you ...

"Remembering Hitler ..."




Have at it!”

“your hero?”

“LOL, Ewker!!!”

“"Darkness, no matter how ominous and intimidating, is not a thing or force: it is merely the absence of light.

So light need not combat and overpower darkness in order to displace it. Where light is, darkness is not. A thimbleful of light will therefore banish a roomful of darkness.

The same is true of good and evil: evil is not a thing or force, but merely the absence or concealment of good. One need not "defeat" the evil in the world; one need only bring to light its inherent goodness."

-The Rebbe”

“Is there some lost connection between Peter Jennings and Hitler that I missed?”

“Since I'm not against speaking ill of the dead, I will just say "no" out of respect for others.

“Nice, nigal. I like that.”

“So, Frodo went about it all the wrong way then. Hmmm.

Thanks chili. You're a good man.

“Who the hell is Fordo?”

“so you equate someone who's opinions you disagree with to hitler, nice comparison.”

“I didn't equate anything y2. Be specific. This thread is for people that believe you should not speak ill of the dead. Is that you? Then feel free to say nice things about Hitler.”

“Isnt this Hitler the guy who imitated Bugs Bunny in some of his cartoons they no longer show?”

“Let's see, Sarge can't talk nice about someone dead, so he starts a thread about someone that no one can possibly talk nice about. Your logic is astounding.”

“techntrek - If you can't possibly say something nice about him, don't complain when others don't say anything nice about someone else.”

“Your timing is off by a few decades. And your evil-meter context-reader might be tweaked a bit.”

“Well Hitler did design a sharp looking uniform”

“You're changing the goal posts.

Please tell me what descriptive requirements of people we are allowed to bash when they die.”

“Like I said, your logic is astounding. There is no connection between the two. Nigal's quote says it all. There is some darkness when in the light, but no light within complete darkness. No ying-yang thing going on.

But just because there were flaws in Peter Jennings (we all have them!), there was no reason to spout them in that other thread. It was uncalled for. You should have started another thread - under fuego - to spout your personal negative views.

“He tried to destroy America, just like Osama bin Laden. It was called for. Oh, and he lied to Americans almost nightly. He should have been slapped.”

“if nothing nice can be said about a person when he is alive ,how can you speak nice about a person that has died-the nicest thing that can be said about hitler is that he is dead-”

“Let's all band together here now, and send Sarge a box of chocolates. Read his profile. Unless he deletes it.”

“Since I'm the one who gets to define the rules around here (thanks again, Matt!), here's what I previously stated on the subject:

Personally I think all people should be honored in death (excepting really icky people like murderers, etc.).

“Sarge's Freudan slip is showing.”

“fingerlakeshiker - Good point.”

“Buck - Are murderers bigger sinners than liars? Why you be hate'n?”

“I will admit, I am thankful the CIA thwarted Jenning's attempt to smuggle a suitcase nuke into Seattle in an attempt to kill meeellions of Americans. But he apologized for it so it's all good now.”

“Me too, Buck. Whew, that was a close one, too.”

“Yes, Sarge, murderers are bigger sinners than liars. If you view it differently, that's okay with me. Shirley you have lied too... when you pass on shall we bury you next to Hitler like two peas in a pod? Shirley, no.”

“Hitler did have an awesome mind for politics and public office. He could have truly been a great world leader. He carried no greater hate in his heart than Martin Luther, or Justin Martyr or countless popes throughout history. He was just more organized and was able to carry through.”

“So some sins aren't too bad then huh?”

“There is a fine line between genius and insane.”

“No answer?”

““He tried to destroy America, just like Osama bin Laden. It was called for. Oh, and he lied to Americans almost nightly. He should have been slapped.”

I didn't know that people in a nut house could get internet access.”

“We went from Sass and Birch to Jennings and Hitler.”

“I was just wondering that myself MarkO. He's a guy who appears to have genuine problems.”

“I have problems with people who come on television pretending to give the news but instead are trying to change America because they hate it. You think that's a genuine problem?”

“Sarge, duuude, are you really like this or do you just do this for fun? Of course all sin will cause separation from God, but there is a difference between a lie telling your wife that her butt doesn't look fat in those jeans, and being a mass murdering pedophile. Shirley you know the difference. There are degrees of sin and degrees of rewards. As a Sargeant, you should know about ranks, unless you're just being a Major ___________.”

“Let him who is without sin cast the first stone

According to the Gospel of John, the Pharisees, in an attempt to discredit Jesus, brought a woman charged with adultery before him. Then they reminded Jesus that adultery was punishable by stoning under Mosaic law and challenged him to judge the woman so that they might then accuse him of disobeying the law. Jesus thought for a moment and then replied, “He that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone at her.” The people crowded around him were so touched by their own consciences that they departed. When Jesus found himself alone with the woman, he asked her who were her accusers. She replied, “No man, lord.” Jesus then said, “Neither do I condemn thee: go and sin no more.””

“So, you don't condemn Hitler, Ewker? You're a good man for it.

Anybody want to condemn Hitler, please take it to another thread. Thanks.”

“isn't murder a mortal sin and lying is just a sin? so that would mean one is worse than the other, right? i don't see how that means that lying isn't that bad, though.
sarge, you seem to be pretty good at putting words into people's mouths. i've been at my computer writing a very long paper for most of the weekend and all of today. I want to thank you, Sarge, for the entertainment when I need a break.”

“"...trying to change America because they hate it."

Don't ya suppose Jennings changed his mind since he lived here?

After all, he said he grew up in a family that hated America.
Did he say that he "hated America"?
Did he say why the family felt that way?”

“sarge, that is for your Christian self. Think about it because your as far from it as possible”

“Sarge, people have different views and if someone's views are different than yours that doesn't mean they are trying to destroy America. They just have a vision that's different than yours. That's why we vote. If someone votes differently than you, that doesn't mean they hate America. Maybe they hate "your" America, but not theirs. You don't get to personally choose the definition of America. That's Republic Democracy 101.”

“I didn't ask you about degrees Bush, I asked you if some sins are ok.”

“ductape - ALL sins are mortal sins.”

“MarkO - Jennings family never became citizens. He only did to shut up cynics.”

“He made it his home. Can't have disliked it that much.”

“Ewker - English please.”

“I think casting disparging remarks toward others is a sin.”
