[QUOTE="Evan Saltis, post: 24554058, member: 103066"]The implications of these repeated statements are where I find the problem. I think it is clear, that after five statements echoing the same sentiment, you feel as if many Americans have sympathetic feeling towards the Third Reich, and the Nazi movement more generally. Of course, that is nonsense. This post in particular begins with two sentences which are absolutely correct, but then falls into some weird (many) 'Americans support Nazism' line.. In the politically divided era we live in, where all sides of the political spectrum call the other side Nazis, fascists, etc., I think it should have been relatively obvious that this post could stir up some negative feelings. I suppose my question is that 'what makes you think that this is a uniquely American problem?' I think it falls more in line with the fact of human psychology that humans tend to take to extremes - having all or nothing responses. This includes an interest in the evil, and macabre. I am not trying to stir up hate here - instead, trying to share where my problem lies with your statements. Glad to see that there was a positive resolution! Cheers, Evan :)[/QUOTE]
