Gandhi condoned the holocaust. That is why he never called anyone a nazi. He said that we should mourn the jews death but not do anything about it. And the tactics Gandhi used would have only worked against a just government. An unjust government would have just shot him. Not to mention that the british wanted out of india anyways

That sounds a lot like me except for the Impulsive Nature, Infidelity, Need for stimulation, Grandiose Sense of Self, and Juvenile Delinquency. I suppose I’m about 50% there or so, not that it matters much to me; I never prided myself on being a sociopath or anything. Although my inner rage seems to manifest its self as a sort of alternate personality that manifests its self when I’m not around others, it’s not a very nice one and it makes me really violent if I’m not careful. My level of self-control allows me to keep my composure under most situations, although there are some specific triggers that can send me overboard. However, I do have real friends, even if I mostly interact with them through false personalities; they seem to be aware of this though.

Ghandi didn’t think the Nazis were smart, or that Hitler was a good man.
He probably would’ve found it atrocious for the massive moral failings of the Nazis, but Hitler was, nonetheless, an intelligent (if completely asinine and inhumane) leader. That doesn’t mean that being a Nazi is a compliment. Guilt by association is the fails.

‘I do not consider Hitler to be as bad as he is depicted. He is showing an ability that is amazing and he seems to be gaining his victories without much bloodshed.’

— Mahatma Gandhi, 1940

Based on this quote, I should think it wouldn’t be an insult for Gandhi to call someone a Nazi. Admittedly this was prior to the true advent of WWII, but knowledge of the camps had already spread. So, I guess I just find this comment a bit funny in light of that.

So where does it stop Max? Do we finally end up getting taxed at 100% and everything is given to us by the government? Punishing success and forcibly spreading the wealth around only leads to mediocrity (sp?). I and most conservative people I know, do not have a problem paying taxes of some sort. The problem is how they are spent. If the government was more efficient on how it spends our money then there would be alot more to go around. Instead they spend it poorly then come back and ask for more. A current example is the money from the stimulus bill that was to be provided to ACORN. You had to be blind to think that there was not something wrong with this organization before all the videos came out. Yet the government pledged to give them billions and pay them to help out with the census. The current administration has appointed/nominated several people who cheated on their taxes. I degress. The truth is most of us are happy to pay some taxes to help out those that truely need it and to help support the necessary services of government. We don’t want to pay money that is thrown away or given to groups to find out how much a cow farts in one day.

“This is because they are hardly religious and aren’t even remotely conservative”

I would say the majority of the people that are typically grouped in the “religious right” catagory are neither fascists and are conservative.

I would disagree – Mr. Burns is Evil, yes, but Lawful? He will break the law at the drop of a hat, for his own benefit. Lawful Evil will do a lot of bad things but only to uphold the Law – not for its own benefit.

The Gloster (note spelling, not as in the place) E28/39 was the first working true turbo-jet aircraft, but it and the Meteor spent so long in development that the Me-262 beat it into service (by about 2 days based on first recorded combat).

The blitzkrieg had never had the kind of success it did when 1938 Germany used it. Before Hitler used it, no one in the world believed that recent improvements in vehicle technology would allow such a speedy and overwhelming attack. Russia didn’t even believe it could happen to them when they were invaded. They spent days insisting the reports they were hearing from the front must be exaggerated. It’s no wonder the French had no idea how to counter it when it took them in their back door.

Also, just as a side note, greed, as it is defined by Websters, is “: a selfish and excessive desire for more of something (as money) than is needed.” Now, in this, it does say that the desire for something in excess, but I would argue that to be selfish is a slightly different thing. Selfish means “1 : concerned excessively or exclusively with oneself : seeking or concentrating on one’s own advantage, pleasure, or well-being without regard for others
2 : arising from concern with one’s own welfare or advantage in disregard of others.” Personally, I see this as being concerned with ones own well being, and not using others as a means to promote it. People commonly equate being selfish with being greedy or thieving, but I don’t see it as such. In reality, to be selfish is to be more introverted or isolated, and your actions are committed outside the concerns of others. It just irritates me when people try to point to selfishness and greed as evil, when really they mean thievery and dishonesty. One can lead to the other, but they are not definitively the same.

DSM-IV-TR (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders)

Glibness and Superficial Charm

Manipulative and Conning
They never recognize the rights of others and see their self-serving behaviors as permissible. They appear to be charming, yet are covertly hostile and domineering, seeing their victim as merely an instrument to be used. They may dominate and humiliate their victims.

Grandiose Sense of Self
Feels entitled to certain things as “their right.”

Pathological Lying
Has no problem lying coolly and easily and it is almost impossible for them to be truthful on a consistent basis. Can create, and get caught up in, a complex belief about their own powers and abilities. Extremely convincing and even able to pass lie detector tests.

Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt
A deep seated rage, which is split off and repressed, is at their core. Does not see others around them as people, but only as targets and opportunities. Instead of friends, they have victims and accomplices who end up as victims. The end always justifies the means and they let nothing stand in their way.

Shallow Emotions
When they show what seems to be warmth, joy, love and compassion it is more feigned than experienced and serves an ulterior motive. Outraged by insignificant matters, yet remaining unmoved and cold by what would upset a normal person. Since they are not genuine, neither are their promises.

Incapacity for Love

Need for Stimulation
Living on the edge. Verbal outbursts and physical punishments are normal. Promiscuity and gambling are common.

Callousness/Lack of Empathy
Unable to empathize with the pain of their victims, having only contempt for others’ feelings of distress and readily taking advantage of them.

Poor Behavioral Controls/Impulsive Nature
Rage and abuse, alternating with small expressions of love and approval produce an addictive cycle for abuser and abused, as well as creating hopelessness in the victim. Believe they are all-powerful, all-knowing, entitled to every wish, no sense of personal boundaries, no concern for their impact on others.

Early Behavior Problems/Juvenile Delinquency
Usually has a history of behavioral and academic difficulties, yet “gets by” by conning others. Problems in making and keeping friends; aberrant behaviors such as cruelty to people or animals, stealing, etc.

Irresponsibility/Unreliability
Not concerned about wrecking others’ lives and dreams. Oblivious or indifferent to the devastation they cause. Does not accept blame themselves, but blames others, even for acts they obviously committed.

Promiscuous Sexual Behavior/Infidelity
Promiscuity, child sexual abuse, rape and sexual acting out of all sorts.

Lack of Realistic Life Plan/Parasitic Lifestyle
Tends to move around a lot or makes all encompassing promises for the future, poor work ethic but exploits others effectively.

Criminal or Entrepreneurial Versatility
Changes their image as needed to avoid prosecution. Changes life story readily.
