That's great?

I oppose capital punishment, but at least they were punished.

Ha, some people in my school believe the 'I was only following orders' excuse should have been enough. Talk about moral relativism.

The Nuremburg trials were a relief to all of humanity.  They were the greatest thing to ever happen in the course of this world's history. You have severely underestimated them with your simple definition, but it works, I suppose.

Nazis did some evil shit. But on the real, I think the biggest mistake the world made in response to their actions was dehumanizing them in their minds. Like, how does that make you any better. Nazis are people just like you are.  

The questions should be "how did so many people get sucked into such a destructive campaign?" and "what can we do to prevent things like that from happening again, without just using the media to shock people into hating hitler and all things related?" Ignorance is a dangerous thing, even when employed with good intentions in mind, you never know when it might flip on you. Or atleast become really irritating.

Agreed x100. Often when asked why the Nazis did what they did, people will simply reply "they're evil... duh!" Such views completely ignore the reality of it all - how Nazi policies made complete sense given what they believed, how what they believed wasn't anything beyond comprehension, and what the Nazis would have looked like to a contemporary of the time.   This is dangerous for it makes people naive, and setting them up to fall for yet another "Nazi regime." "Good" and "evil" are horrible social constructs which overly simplifies a situation, depending on the way an individual perceives it. Such "evil" is not out of the realm of possibilities today, and nor will it look "evil" in the way we think of it.

Moreover, designating the Nazis as evil allows one to cast off whoever sympathizes with the Nazis and / or is critical of just how evil they really were as "evil" as well. This is convenient, for it allows such things that resulted from things such as the holocaust (Israel in particular is believed to be legitimized by the holocaust, but also the Nuremberg Trials) to go unquestioned, and if questioned, that person is easily discredited.

Yeah, I mean, as hilarious as the Nuremberg trials go in my head (especially with katt Williams as the judge) there were without doubt some SERIOUS and numerous miscarriages of justice.

Miscarriage of justice doesn't matter when you equate Nazism with evil.  So long as you capture the leaders of Nazi Germany, getting them condemned for crimes against humanity shouldn't be too difficult both in the courtroom and in public media.  And anybody who does think there's a miscarriage of justice that these men didn't deserve = Nazi sympathizer.

They did these back when they thought that they made soap and lampshades out of Jews. These claims have long since been thrown out due to complete retardation on the Jews side.

If you're going to make a lie, at least make it SOMEWHAT believable and not so easily disprovable.

WHO THE HELL WOULD USE JEW SOAP ANYWAY?


-- Posted by Keltic Fighter at 9:32 pm on Aug. 26, 2008

The Nuremberg trials was just victors justice. Really it wasn't even justice.


-- Posted by Vordhosbn at 2:40 am on Aug. 28, 2008

Totally agree with artfuldodger and bud2400.
Something caused these men to commit the atrocities they did, and killing them is not going to solve it. These guys need to be analysed by psychologists and the like to avoid making these mistakes again.

If you haven't already, have a look at the Milgram experiments. Wikipedia gives a good enough overview. The results definitely surprised me.

I do find it somewhat ironic that the punishment for "crimes against humanity" is murder. Oops... I mean capital punishment.

Not one of them should have been killed in the first place.

Only after they were properly tried and convicted by an impartial jury.
