HI. I've asked questions here (under another name) that has evoked many hate-respones. Questions (and opinions) about SSRIs, regilion, disasbility, etc.
I don't particularly see myself as a "bad, evil" guy- but then again I guess neither did Hilter.
I guess I have extremely different and controversial opinions about things. How can I express these without making others feel like I am attacking or hurting?
This worries me very very much. So much that I wonder if I should just shut-up - and never express my opinion again.

Back your views up with facts. If somebody disagrees with you, honestly consider their argument. You are never right 100% of the time. Modify your views based upon facts given to you by others. It is called having an open mind.

First of all, I'm so sorry that people are being rude to you about your question. I know what it's like when you're honestly just trying to get help and people take it as an attact or a threat. It's wrong. How can anyone get help and the world get better at that rate?
There are alot of good treatment movies out there for people who are prejudice. There's one that I believe might be called Generation X. It's about a white man in a racist gang that kills a black man. He goes to prison for 5 years. While he's in there he befriends a black man who teaches him to like black people. Then when he gets out of prison he tries reaching his little brother by telling him that prejudicy is bad. But it's too late and his little brother has already joined a racist gang to be like his big brother even though his big brother insisted that he was wrong. It's reallly sad. And there's so many other movies out there that are along the same lines. And it just might be good for you to have a movie night of renting and watching the best anti-racist movies out there. Also, if you think it might be an anger problem, you might want to try acupuncture. It really helped me to not be intensely angery anymore. I use to have arsonistic fantacies and a couple of violent offenses before I tried acupuncture and got better. It takes alot of acupuncture though and you need the funding. Here where I live it's $60 per session and I had it done 10 times. Good Luck My Friend! May God bless you and help you with your problem.

Your extreme and controversial opinions are harmless unless you plan to implement them. If you impose your beliefs on anyone else, and you force those beliefs with threats and crimes against humanity, then you should be locked away in a very cold, dark and lonely place for the rest of your natural life.
Hitler was not in his right mind. If you feel you may have a psychological problem, please seek help.

People here get easily offended if you are not politically correct. I doubt you will become the next Hitler, but I am sure you can find other sites where your views would be more readily accepted.

First of all, as your mother told you, "if you dont have anything nice to say, dont say anything".
If your questioning your reactions and feelings about certain things in this world, why not talk to someone who is an expert, they may help to get over your feelings.
And seeing a therapist might also help.

I suspect the best way to answer your own question is to question yourself as to why you have difficulty accepting or tolerating people based on their religion, race, physical or mental challenges, ect. If you fantasize about eliminating or doing harm to any individual, you are the ultimate HATER- not the angry, offended responders. Common sense would lead any sensible person to believe that you are posing as a hate-filled person just to evoke angry responses for your mere entertainment.

people are so easily offended if you want to walk on egg shells go ahead . but if you want to be happy and feel like your equal then dont worry about it and another thing Hitler was a mad man like Saddam and bin laden i wouldn't think that offending somebody compares to what they dished out . do run for office and do express yourself freely .

If you feel strongly about something, don't be afraid to say it aloud. But be careful, and say what you think politely. Don't yell, "F*** YOU!" or something, but, rather, laugh and talk rationally. If you are polite and a good person, you will never be the next Hitler.

Well, don't blame entire ethnic or cultural groups for your troubles, and try to make others feel same. Don't run for office. Don't sign non-agression pacts and break them....don't invade other nations. Oh, and skip the little moustache too while you're at it.
Good luck!
