Within six months of having Rommel commit suicide or face having his family slaughtered and then be killed, Hitler committed suicide.
Hitler's actions were directed, purposeful and prosecuted with knowledge of intent.
Hitler wrote Mein Kampf and proceeded to write the book large.
Will Smith, saying "Even Hitler didn't wake up going, 'Let me do the most evil thing I can do today,"
"I think he woke up in the morning and using a twisted, backwards logic, he set out to do what he thought was 'good'.

You are wrong, Will. Hitler knew what was happening, yet did it anyway. probably because he felt it would help him achieve his end of maintaining control of the lives around him.
Pol Pot knew what he was doing. Mao Tse Tung and Stalin knew what they were doing. Che Guevarra and Castro knew what they were doing. It was evil.

US actor Will Smith has stunned fans by reportedly declaring that Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler was essentially a "good" person.
In an interview with Scottish newspaper The Daily Record, the 39-year-old Men In Black star said he did not believe Hitler fully understood what effect his policies would have.
"Even Hitler didn't wake up going, 'Let me do the most evil thing I can do today," Smith told the newspaper in a wide-ranging interview.
"I think he woke up in the morning and using a twisted, backwards logic, he set out to do what he thought was 'good'.
"Stuff like that just needs reprogramming," Smith said in the interview reported on by World Entertainment News.
Hitler's totalitarian leadership as Germany's leader from 1934 until 1945 resulted in the deaths of an estimated six million Jews in the Holocaust and his invasion of Poland in 1939 led to the start of World War II.
Learn to read; Will Smith doesn't say that Hitler wasn't evil. He says that Hitler didn't consider himself or his deeds to be evil.
ReplyDeletePat, ya gotta learn style if you are going to pretend you are someone else.
ReplyDeleteSemantic debate can be endless. All it takes is one person to say that the meaning is different to what is understood.
The example I gave, I believe, shows Hitler knew what he was doing. Knew the consequences, yet did them for no other reason than form.
Will Smith is suggesting that Hitler was deluded, his reasoning clouded, that he did not know what he was doing. Yet I put it to you that Hitler not only knew what he was doing, but knew he had no reason to continue with it, yet did it anyway. The only innocents were his victims, and some who carried out his orders.
ADL Says Will Smith Didn't Praise Hitler
ReplyDeleteTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES -- A Jewish group said Wednesday that it accepts Will Smith's explanation that he never praised Adolf Hitler in remarks the star says were misinterpreted.
"We welcome and accept Will Smith's statement that Hitler was a `vicious killer' and that he did not mean for his remarks about the Nazi leader to be mistaken as praise," Abraham H. Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League, said in a statement.
Smith "took immediate steps to clarify his words" and condemn Hitler, Foxman said.
Foxman said words "can be twisted by those with hate and bigotry in their hearts."
"This is why all celebrities bear a special responsibility to weigh their words carefully, and an obligation to speak out against racism and bigotry whenever even a whiff of it appears, as Will Smith has done in this instance," he said.
The Daily Record, a Scottish newspaper, recently quoted Smith as saying: "Even Hitler didn't wake up going, `let me do the most evil thing I can do today.' I think he woke up in the morning and using a twisted, backwards logic, he set out to do what he thought was `good.'"
The quote was preceded by the writer's observation: "Remarkably, Will believes everyone is basically good."
Many celebrity gossip Web sites posted articles alleging that the 39-year-old actor believed Hitler was a good person.
In a statement Monday, Smith called that "an awful and disgusting lie," and said he was furious about his remarks being misinterpreted.
"Adolf Hitler was a vile, heinous vicious killer responsible for one of the greatest acts of evil committed on this planet," the statement said.
Wow, did I get it wrong? Did Will Smith actually tell me that I couldn't read? Or was that really Pat? I don't think the Pope is posting anonymously ..
