Godwin's Law

[nemafakei]

I think the distintion must be made between the statements such as "Hitler did X, so anyone who does X is evil" and "we condemn Hitler for doing X, so too should we condemn anyone else who did X".

[Caid Ivik]

We should remember one thing: he was a human.

[nemafakei]

So are we all: we don't condemn anyone else for being human, as Hitler was, but rather for being inhumane.

We should remember one thing: he was a human.

If he had been a beast then we would not have blamed him at all and history would have forgotten him.

[Caid Ivik]

Well, there are cases when a bear or similar thing attacks... But that's not the point. It was ment against this whole thread, but whatever. He wasn't inhumane, his acts were rational and strictly planned. It wasn't a madness, nor a "bad joke", but a direct provocation of certain human feelings towards a special target. Don't forget, that this guy won regular elections...

"He wasn't inhumane"

How is a planned, calculated masscre humane?!

[Dante]

Humanity is a relative term. In Hitler's own personal philosophy his actions weren't humane, and what right do we have to judge him by ours? So he should be judged by something that isn't relative...

[Acriku]

When the lives of other's are involved, we have all the right.

"He wasn't inhumane"

How is a planned, calculated masscre humane?!

It retains main characteristic of humanity - rationalism. Immoraly used, surely. Human can be evil, and still remain a human. Is it so hard to understand that somebody commits a sin? Evil isn't some kind of disease, as I mean true evil.

"Human can be evil, and still remain a human."

Yes, but that doesn't mean he's humane.
