I respect the Austrian cellar dad guy. I mean to keep people locked up for 24 years is a fine achievement regardless of the incest that went down.

I can respect people I disagree with, yes. I do not respect Hitler though. Hitler is not my enemy, so hating him for so many people he killed is unrelated to the quote you gave.

I come back to your earlier post. You ask me to respect him because of his 'achievements' of becoming whatever from a hobo. So if some one achieves some thing in life, then rapes your entire family, will you still respect the person? The achievements of Hitler, whatever they were, fade in comparison to the heinous acts he performed.
Firstly the quote was just from Godfather 3 I didn't really mean nothing by it it was just a joke. Secondly I'm not telling you to respect Hitler I'm trying to put across why I respect him. Thirdly yes I would of course I would not be fond of what he did there but if he did achieve something incredible in his life I would still respect that.

Would you not look negatively a person for the heinous acts a person performs. If the heinous acts far outshine the so called respectful acts, would you not then be forced to look negatively rather than positively at a person? You are saying you respect Hitler. A person is a sum total of all parts and you can't just separate various parts and start respecting a person because one part. That is the way I look at it any way. Your approach is stupid and illogical IMO. You are of course completely withing your rights to approach it any way you deem fit.

Cheers.

Basically, teenage drinking is a problem for the ****s who can't drink sensibly.

Likewise, 20-something (and 30-something, to a lesser extent) drinking is a problem for the ****s who can't drink sensibly.

Unfortunately, as there's no way to isolate who is a **** who can't drink sensibly and a sensible person who can drink sensibly, the only definition that can be made is age. So sadly, those 13-17-year-olds who can drink sensibly have to break the law to do so.

Look, cdm, put it this way - there were a few things about Hitler that were certainly admirable. However, that doesn't make Hitler an admirable person, in any way shape or form. There was much about Hitler that was deplorable, and the deplorable was far, far more deplorable (and also outnumbered) the admirable was admirable.

Admire certain traits in Hitler, yes - but do not admire the man as a whole. He should be despised and despised only by decent humans.

Thought you were showing-off the Katich avatar there rather than the lack-of-10,000 for a second there TBH.

Never had that and probably never will do myself TBH. Even now after nearly six months of unemployment I can still afford to do the thing properly.

Way to make a really simple point really complicated..

Boredom = lots of kids turning to drink

Simple..

Way to over-simplify a complex problem.

Sure, boredom = loads of kids (and 18+-yr-olds too) turning to drink. But that isn't the only thing that presents a problem.
