The statement was ignorant because the NSDAP was not an atheist organization in any sense of the word.
Their first treaty was with the Vatican.
The SS had "God with us" imprinted on their belts and daggers
In Mien Kampf, Hitler went on some length about being chosen by God, etc.
There's much more.
Do some studying.
. Given the average Slashdotter's propensity to spout off everything mainstream media tells them to, I have absolutely no faith.
So, tell me, who is the "main stream media?"
Do you mean Fox News, which commands more of an audience than all other news programs? Do you mean the Wallstreet Journal?
You do realize that the vast majority of "main stream media" is owned by massive corporations and/or rightest thugs?
So when Hitler called himself a Fascist, praised his fascist ideology, and allied himself with the founder of fascism, Mussolini, he was just... joking?
National Socialism is fascism. Fascism is corporatism, or the merge of corporate and governmental power. Note that "merge" is NOT the same as "takeover." It is open cooperation with corporate interests.
You've effectively made the definition so broad as to render it meaningless.
Have you actually read Marx? Socialism is controlling the means of production. the NSDAP did NOT own the means of production. Krupp, banks, etc. were NOT nationalized under Hitler. Private property was not eliminated.
On the contrary, Hitler killed thousands of Socialists and Leftists. He was a big supporter of business and the military industrial complex. See The Arms of Krupp and the Rise and Fall of the Third Reich.
That's EXACTLY what Hitler did. William Shirer said it best in the Rise and Fall of the Third Reich: Hitler used populist catchphrases to gain more members. However, Hitler and his ilk were openly opposed to Socialism. He worked directly with Krupp and other companies to give them slave labor and insure they had a complete free hand (See Arms of Krupp).
A true fascist government.
Stop watching Glenn Beck.
And blanketed statements never represent reality.
Seriously? NEVER a net good?
I like my roads, libraries, police departments, fire departments, and various environmental regulations, thank you.
Libertarians need a firmer grasp on reality.
Wow, I think you both missed the point here.
The very fact that no tests can be performed ipso facto demonstrates the inability for God to exist. Even theists realize this, and posit that an atheist must prove a negative. i.e. "prove that God does NOT exist."
An invisible, infinite being with no tangible physical attributes cannot exist. Period.
By the way, I'd love to introduce you to this Teapot in space I discovered!
> I have autistic disorder.
I admit, I'm not terribly familiar with this disorder... but is there a reason you can't even work a basic job like McDonald's, or some form of menial labor? Since you're able to do "jobs" on the side and write coherently on Slashdot, it sounds like you're just... lazy.
>>>An OS 9 Macbook?
My PowerBook G3 (Pismo) would like to have a word with you.
My wife is using it now, upgraded to a G4, maxed memory, and dual batts. running an older version of OS X.
With respect, I think you missed his point.
Specifically, Job's contention is that it's the nature of the beast; there is no real way to stop it.
Though I have an iPhone 4 and can't replicate the issue for the life of me, it's still a bullshit argument.
Slashdot Mirror
Sweden wasn't invaded... they provided ore for Germany, but were still technically neutral. Norway was invaded.

Love the steady influx of Rand bullshit. Yes, our "producers" are struggling. You know, with their record high profits.
Such a false dichotomy. Nothing seems to be a middle ground for you. There is a better way than our oligarchy vs. communism.
The evolutionists have changed their minds again..
This isn't a flaw... this is a feature.
Why would Russians visit Alaska? It looks exactly the same as Siberia.
The difference is that this teacher was stating an opinion, religious types tend to claim they are telling the truth.
That's because religion cannot distinguish between opinion and fact.
You are confusing assertions with "proof."
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

I don't believe in karma, but prove it.
What is presented without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
Not so. Who Framed Roger Rabbit? worked very well, because the directors made sure to include eye contact, etc.
I'm not a Republican, but I don't think Palin is as stupid as she's portrayed.
Then you haven't been paying attention. Don't listen to what the "media" say. Just listen directly to HER.

You have it backwards.
National Socialism is fascism. Fascism is corporatism, or the merge of corporate and governmental power. Note that "merge" is NOT the same as "takeover." It is open cooperation with corporate interests.
Perhaps you should read Mussolini's works.
Socialism simply means the state owns property

Really, what tests were performed.

Not likely, we have a special image of the universe 400,000 years after it formed.
Could you provide a link? That's fascinating.

Ha! That's what you think! It's just proof there was a world wide flood!
They also take debit/check cards as well. This has nothing to do with a credit card only purchase.
