It is a pretty outrageous claim. The Nazis' practice of setting up a network of death camps throughout Europe for any given minority is not comparable to Guantanamo Bay.
agreed. But this is the deflection technique I tried addressing earlier...so many people are doing it in this thread.
They don't bother addressing all the other examples. And in my opinion, there ARE quite a few similarities between the comparison of the nazi movement and the US government/military movement

I was going to take it on point-by-point but it's so ridiculous and full of bluster
That's your OPINION. I don't agree, but . I already know what your all about. I don't think you and me will ever agree on anything 
The difference between me and you is, I don't walk away from this post thinking "I'm right, she's wrong". I walk away going, "well, everyone's entitled to their opinions"
But I went off on a tangent there. I think it's clear where I stand. The way I see it, the bottom line is, it doesn't matter the reason or justification for their actions...the U.S. has killed WAY more people than the nazi movement. They have also done horrible war crimes, of ALL sorts. They also control their citizens, spy on them and take away more and more human rights as the years go by. Their agenda is exactly the same in my opinion...POWER. They just use different excuses and reasons in their quest for it.
My original post, concurring with shroomism's post, shows where I clearly stand. And anyone who thinks otherwise has the blinders on in my opinion.
But if they are happy living like that, well who am I to care?

It's cherrypicking. In France they've banned burqas. This goes much further in legally and intentionally repressing an ethnic minority than anything that occurs in the US in this day and age. The statistics on stop-and-frisk are a sign of something very wrong, but it's not comparable even to what France does.

Did I say you weren't entitled to your opinion? I see why you sympathize with OP so much, you clearly have a similar habit of pompous nonsense.

I sympathize with him having to listen to your ignorant, uneducated, sidestepping drivel.
I think it was also clear I said his comparison of the concentration camps was ridiculous.
I think I also said it wasn't cool of him to get so aggressive when stuck up little children like yourself kept blasting him for the said ridiculous remark 
You didn't say I wasn't entitled to my opinion. I just asserted this for you. By your defensive stance, it's quite clear that I asserted correctly.
Again, I've run into you on the boards before. We won't agree on anything, I'm sure of it. I think we both know you need to grow up though

Sorry if I didn't read the entire thread, I'm far too old and thus busy to deal with so much pompous nonsense!

Oh I've been around here much longer than her. I can confidently say that. She's definitely far from an "idol", and the furthest thing from a beacon of knowledge and wisdom 
that's going a little far, even for me. There's SO much worse on this board. But yeah, she's/he is pretty shmeh to me

Nice how you added a whole three paragraphs to your post after I called it out on being pompous nonsense, making it look like I intentionally obscured your illustrious Rebuttal. 
g00ru already said it best, why don't you put your epic reading comprehension skills to the test and go find the post I'm talking about.

So much so that you couldn't even bring yourself to respond to both of my paragraphs in a single post?

mellowparty said: Yeah cause everyone the US killed was carrying an RPG And its not like you get these insurgents on US soil actively invading your bullshit country. Hell if I had GI Joe trying to invade me I'd rush em with an RPG.
It really is a tragedy for the innocent. Truly.
You seriously are fucking ignorant if this is what you believe. You don't understand what american soldiers have to go through over there.
They go so far as to send LITTLE CHILDREN to kill american soldiers with bombs strapped to them. So don't go and fucking say shit you don't know about. Go watch some real documentaries about what is going on over there before you run your trap like an ignorant teenager.
When you have a little kid running up to you they have SECONDS to determine whether they are a threat or scared at the situation, you start to realize how dangerous it really is over there.
He doesn't understand what's going on over there, but you do because you watched some documentaries? I don't agree with the assessment of the OP, but you have to be pretty dense to not acknowledge that we have killed a huge number of civilians in the Iraq/Afghanistan conflicts.
http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2011/06/afghanistan-iraq-wars-killed-132000-civilians-report-says
http://costsofwar.org/article/civilians-killed-and-wounded
Estimates are far above one hundred thousand. It's not really comparable to concentration camps, and it wasn't necessarily intentional, but that's still a large amount of collateral damage that can't be dismissed simply by saying "it's dangerous over there".
In any case, this thread is pretty ridiculous.
