when "it's a way of life" (government or social science or whatever makes no difference) As Machievelli said "Might makes right" and "Power means never having to say your sorry"

Er, the killing of something like 6 million people is clearly wrong. If you've got a problem seeing that, you need to examine your morals.
If you think nature has anything to do with it, you also need to examine your basic sense. This is just ridiculous.

First, Machiavelli (you misspelled his name) neither said nor believed those things, as is evident from even a casual study of his life. Second, a hurricane or earthquake are acts of nature, the Holocaust was the act of people. As to whether it was right or wrong, I take the same view of the Holocaust that Lincoln did of slavery, anyone who doesn't think it's wrong should be subjected to it. Evil people never think they're evil, it is their actions that proclaim it.

There is a difference between "survival of the fittest" and "genocide". In the former case, species HAVE to kill one another in order to survive; in the latter - they do not have to kill... In fact, not only humans are the only biological species that kill its own, but humans also invented genocide - something animals would never do in free will. Predators kill because they are hungry, humans kill because their social development is not high enough to comprehend value of human life. Social development of Nazis was in fact so low (of course it did not seem that way at first glance) that they could brainwash themselves into a killing frenzy and never FEEL anything about it. You can't just say "oh it's nature" on everything, because humans are social creatures as much as they are biological.

The only people saying that such an awful act is "nature" must be pretty evil. Just because some famous person said a nice little quote once doesn't make it truth.

You have reduced the tragedy and horror of the Holocaust to Darwin's Theory on Evolution.
Survival of the fittest.
Man's cruelty to man is revulsive.
So, how's that subscription to National Geographic?

your question is ignorant, arrogant, and offensive.
First, it's not "nature" and fck you for trying to say that science in any way condones the holocaust.
SECOND: (and worse) it was religion, specifically christianity, which was used to justify the holocaust. Hitler was an outspoken christian
so take your lies and shove them where the sun doesn't shine, son.

Because people are above nature. people have souls and can control what they do. And it's known that Hitler didn't really believe in the "Only the strong ones survive" thingy, he only needed an excuse. What he did wasn't natural. Only human beings can stoop so low, because they are intelegent.

The Holocaust was not nature. It was mass murder by the millions. You are sick and demented and need to be loosed from the demon spirit that has a hold on you.

Since when is the systemized murder of 6 million people by racist bigoted pscho Nazi lunatics "nature"? Volcanos killing people is "nature", hurricanes killing people is "nature", tornados killing people is "nature", disease killing people is "nature", old age killing people is "nature", human beings killing other human beings on an industrial assembly-line scale is GENOCIDE. Nature has NEVER selectively attempted to anihilate a single race - it kills all races on an equal opportunity basis - that is NATURE, but what you are talking about is MASS MURDER. Only MANKIND can commit MURDER - nature kills, but it is not murder. The reason "almost everyone" says that its wrong is because ITS MURDER AND MURDER IS WRONG. Got it?
