"Adolf Hitler was a great man who did what he needed to for our future."

That is what history would tell us if WW2 had gone the other way, with Germany and the Nazi's winning the war.

For proof of this we need only look at (in this timeline) the US President that ordered the dropping of the nuclear bombs on populated semi-unprepaired Japanese cities, is he not regarded as having done what he needed to for our benefit.

Therefore my question is, is it not true that those who we regard as "evil dictators" and those who we regard as "great leaders in difficult times" are tard of the same brush, the only difference being history has gone with or against them?

What does this say for our present and future?

SERIOUS ANSWERS ONLY.
Please explain your answers.

I thank you in advance for your insight.

Yes, I'm making a video of myself dancing in different libraries in my area with a boom box and loud techno music.

What kind of garb meshes with this sort of craziness?

Mines would have to be [other than ''Picture of Dorian Gray''] would be either ''The Ballad of Reading Gaol'' or ''The Importance of being Earnest'' [play].The ending for ..Gray was horrible but fascinating and it was drilled in my mind for days.The ballad of readin gaol made me feel pitiful for the author and had a sense of hopless tragedy,but very poetical,and i love he compares things![ex:''..poison weeds bloom well in prison air, it is only what is good in man, that wastes and withers there.''].The Importance of being Earnest was really witty and had Wilde's famous blunt sarcasm.Loved it,very amusing.

Jobs that people with masculinized brains are good at are almost paid more than jobs which use the abilities of a feminized brain.
Why should this be the case?
Shouldn't primary teachers be paid the same as secondary school teachers?
Shouldn't nurses be paid the same as doctors?
Shouldn't counsellors be paid the same as engineers?
After all, most engineers I've known couldn't counsel someone to save their lives, or someone else's!
And most secondary school teachers could not surivive teaching primary school. They wouldn't want to.
How many doctors could work as a nurse for a year, and not given up from frustration and stress?
Jobs that women tend to be good at, involving patience, social skills, communication, care for health and well-being, multi-tasking and a holistic perspective, are almost always underpaid.
Shouldn't different skills be recognised as equally valid and renumerated accordingly? Why is Maths more valuable than English?

I wish to learn Ballet professionally but what is the difference between learning professionally and learning Ballet? I am 13 and interested in Ballet,but school is too busy and my parents reject me for Ballet lessons as it is expensive and they think I am too old and cannot dance as good, but surely someone, not a child invented Ballet, right? And she/he is an adult who invented Ballet and must have start Ballet rather old. But I do not understand why adult cannot take Ballet professionally?
] So, I wish to take Ballet when working, about 25+. Is it an good idea. I wish to perform but too late? And why dance? But that just passion. And how can I urged my parents to let me learn Ballet.
Well, actually I am sort of greedy... I want to learn Latin Dance and so many... But I like Ballet Best! And now what is the difference in Classical and Modern Ballet.

Pls help me...from another Ballet-lover in the world!
