Good Intentions, -i guess about hitler- Options

[sadolakced acid]

a debate spawned in lounge.

hitler's intentions - were they good?

and also

what do good intentions count for.



alright: my post about hitler.

hitler was trying to boost the economy of germany. war is good for economy. of course, taking over europe is good too.

Hitler's intentions were not to wipe out the jews. it was just politically convenient to blame them for gemany's problems. They had no one to really stand up for them. easy targets, minorities.

hitler had good intentions- to restore germany to it's former glory. germany was great before WWI, but when they lost the british and the french and the americans (but mostly the french) taxed the germans soo much their economy was going to bomb.

hitler had good intentions- but he useed bad ways to furfill them. blaming jews, trying to take over europe, etc.

but he still had good intentions.

which brings us to good intentions- good intentions are never enough. good actions are needed.

I fear a lot of you didn't read into context and have misjudged Mr. Acid from your quick assumptions.

And it is true that war IS good for the economy for certain countries, people. Go learn your history and economics. War stimulates the buying and selling of weapons and things needed for war. It's simple. Demand for things go up, supply goes up along with it and our market equilibrium increases.

However, that is not to say that war is good for everyone in the long run. But know that WWII was what helped us out of the Great Depression because it did a lot of good in stimulating our dying economy.

history is written by the victor.

Exactly.

As for intentions... Hitler intended to killed Jews (or use them as an excuse) for the good of the Aryan race. From his perspective, he was doing something good. From our moral perspective, he was a cold blooded killer.
