It is my stance that history cannot be changed, and that if by some chace Hitler were to be prevented from rising to power, we would undoubtablely get someone as bad or worse! After all Stalin was waiting in the wings... :eek2:

Hitler himslef didin't kill millions, he convinced one half of the world that they had a right to kill the rest. It takes a very strong man to have that kind of control - to turn a whole nation into mass murderers. I'd like to have studied him, after he has fallen from power I'd like to understand him instead of kill him.
Pass the question :)
Sounds like the plot of 'crime & punishment' (though Raskolnikov had modest-er ambitions).
I agree with Pendragon that history can't be changed. If it wasn't Hitler, there might have been other dictators, given the political situation.
Same question...
Yes for sure, Pendragon's ansewr is very wise. What is done is already done and no one can change it.
To the PBM: what is the thing you'r afraid of?
Being alone without someone to share my life with but if that is meant to then I have no choice but to accept it.
Do you feel we should use violence to stop violence or is there another way to stop violence?
It is like asking if we should use fire to stop fire or something else. Vilence brings only violence. There are other means to stop violence, but we are deaf and won't use them. Violence is a human nature. So why there is peace then if there is no violence.
Same Q.
I agree with adilyoussef the wise. Has the current situation in Iraq stopped the violence and senseless killings there? NO. "For violence born of violence can but breed new violence until all is destroyed." The Silver Surfer, Marvel Comics.
Pass the question.
hmmm good question. I would like to think there are other ways to stop violence, but I can't think of any...
Same question:

Not to sound cliche, but "All we need is love."
Is hell really as bad as it is made out to seem?
No pizza delivery, no dsl or broadband, no cell phones, no rush hour, no inflation, Yanni music blaring 24/7....its a toss up.
Same Q?
That depends, according to Pratchett it at least has all the good musicians!
What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?
Twice that of one who must bear a burden....http://www.websmileys.com/sm/happy/045.gif
The world being an ever-changing place, do you feel you are better or worse off than you were say two years ago?
In a way, I feel better than 2 years ago. To explain that, I find no means to.
Same Q
i feel better off because i have done alot of travel and seen the world through so many eyes, and the world has also seen me through so many pairs of eyes.
italian or chinese food?
Chinese food, of course, for I am a Chinese.
like harry porter?
