Quote:
Godwin's law (also Godwin's rule of Nazi analogies) is an adage in Internet culture that was originated by Mike Godwin in 1990. The law states that:
As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1.
Anyone who doesn't post in this thread is officially a damn dirty Nazi.

Hitler left quite a significant mark on society. Using his name as an analogy is becoming a little bit played out though.

i have a friend who is from kingston, jamaica. she went to one of the best private high-schools in kingston, and is very bright (she is currently studying at stanford) - but she had no idea who hitler was, what the holocaust was, or really what WWII was about. they just never taught it to them in school. crazy.

Nothing even remotely that serious. It's actually just to play around with the idea of making as many comparisons to Nazis as we can. Hopefully it won't get Nazi-moderated.

I can't believe you Gestapo-ass motherfuckers let this thread get buried in the second page. Time to bump this like a Jew bumping into an oven.

Lots of politicians are comparable to Hitler. That doesn't mean they're exactly alike or that they're just as bad. It just means there are certain similarities. Hell, I could compare Dennis Kucinich to Hitler(they're both vegetarians).

comparison:
1. examining resemblances or differences 2. relation based on similarities and differences 3. qualities that are comparable; "no comparison between the two books"; "beyond compare"

OK. I mean Bush didn't start concentration camps (locally, anyways,) and start killing off everyone he thought was unpure.
