Why is it that so much disdain has been placed upon the legacy of National Socialism and Adolf Hitler when most cultures that harbor that disdain hold such an appreciation to its roots and product?
Hitler was not the first leader of a people to attempt annihiliation upon his enemy. Consider most wars and empires throughout history (including Roman, Holy Roman, Soviet. etc.)
And as most of Europe and America has adopted many new methodes, machines, and tactics created and perfected by the Nazis, why should they belittle the source of their adaptions when they are enjoying the product and result of them?

Hitler's agenda included the annihilation of his enemy. Why should that be held in low regards when so many other cultures in history -that are praised and admired- did exactly the same? (Except that due to the lesser population of the earth in those times, such slaughters are not regarded with horror in comparison with the number figure of 6 million.)

Is it to late for humans? How many more years can we last before it is too late to save ourselves? Do we humans deserve to survive?

I've encountered many black guys with saggy/baggy pants and it seems to me that most of the time these guys are on the dumb side. The more productive blacks seem to dress in a more common form. Not racist at all, but I am curious.

Hey, I was wondering, I've always noticed that there seems to be some hostility from the britist directed towards the French. I was wondering why this is? And before you answer, please note that i am infact looking for a reason, or a site were i can find out about this. Weather it has historical significance or otherwise. And please, no racial bashing (eg, 'their snobby', etc.). And I'm not French, in case you're wondering.

Here where I live in the U.S. we say "Top of the mornin' to you!" on St. Patrick's Day.

First of all, is that really an Irish expression?
Second, is it man to man, or may ladies say it also?
Third, if it is a legitimate greeting, is it used all year around?

Thank you

Your answer should be something meaningful to you. What would be your perfect day? It can be simple or complex. You can picture yourself as you are now or as the richest person in the world. If there were no limitations what would you do? If you only had one day to live how would you live it? Think about these things when answering the question.

Ignorance of science often seems to turn people against science in a knee-jerk sort of manner. Technology, the application of science, benefits everyone on a daily basis in ways ranging from medicine, to eyewear, to information to defend individual rights, and more. Yet, technology, and the science behind it is often villified. This seems akin to situations wherein a celebrity is exhalted for their humanitarian efforts, but people pounce on the celebrity like vultures when one mis-statement is posted in the media. So, what do you think: is science "evil" incarnate and the cause for great trepidation about the next dawn?

Hi! I am a very passive person. I am a total pushover as well. I sacrifice alot of who I am because I am afraid of hurting someone elses feelings and I am just afraid to show who I am completely. I know deep down inside I am tough, lively, and I got bounds. But, how do I show this side of me? I though being the "nice" girl would win me friends, but it doesn't work! I am tired of feeling stressed and full of low self-esteem. HELP!
