What OTHER Great Ideas can we borrow from the Nazis?
Edited on Mon Jun-05-06 08:29 AM by Philosoraptor
We've had great success with a few of Hitler's ideas and agendas, invasions, mass murder, banning homosexuality, mass mind control, etc., what other neato keeno Nazi notions and practices can we adapt to our modern democracy?

(Disclaimer): Not calling anyone a Nazi.

5. That's right! At one point there was the rumour running around that Hitler
had thought he had found the Lance of Longinus, as an attempt to explain why he attacked everyone at once. And there was I thinking he was just a run-of-the-mill megalomaniac.

Yeah, the expedition they funded to prove it too. I remember now.
But the Lance was a bit more wierd than even that.

Wow, it is really late and I am tired; it is almost Tuesday. Goodnight!

10. He also wanted his seat of power to be within view
of Emporer Charlemagne's resting place, hence the Berghof:

"Across the valley from the Berghof was the Untersberg, a mountain said to contain the immortal soul of the emperor Charlemagne, who had conquered most of Christian Europe in the ninth century—a role model of Hitler's and one for whom he felt a mystical attachment."

2. Obsession with racial purity and superiority. Not that anyone was saying
"The US has a deeper seat of morals than other countries. No other countries improved the world like the US." Aw heck no, no-one would EVER say that! :sarcasm:

(I know most are not like that, but I just saw a real-bona-fide America is Wonderful Always Was person)

3. Well building cheap durable cars that don't
cost an arm and a leg to fix.

But that's a pipe dream, I know.

16. Here ya go...
"Shortly after the purge in 1934, a special division of the Gestapo was instituted to compile lists of gay individuals. In 1936, Heinrich Himmler, Chief of the SS, created the "Reich Central Office for the Combating of Homosexuality and Abortion."
