"Even Hitler didn't wake up going, 'let me do the most evil thing I can do today'," said Smith. "I think he woke up in the morning and using a twisted, backwards logic, he set out to do what he thought was 'good'.Stuff like that just needs reprogramming."

Im not seeing the problem here. I have no doubt Hitler did think he was doing what was best for the world. But thats what happens when people think good is evil and evil is good.

even those evil islamic extremists think they are doing whats best for the world.

Its a question of (in my opinion) who wins, not who thinks who is right.

[actsnoblemartin]

the problem is were more offended by words then actions.

we'll lynch someone for what they say, but make excuses for what they do

(obviously, im making a generalization)

I agree, I think (I don't know what 'bang on' means!).

However, I disagree that all Hitler needed was 'reprogramming'. Some people are beyond that, him being near the top of that list.

However, I do vehemently disagree with Will Smith's stance on parents and their lack of understanding. That's what's ruining this country.

I agree. It is those who are looking for any reason to jump on and discredit someone when they take what he said and instead of looking at what he actually said, they chop out half of the words and combine their own sentences for headlines instigating the opposite of what was said.

That article said many presses were churning out headlines that said "Will Smith says Hitler was a good person", when what he said was not remotely close. They all look like idiots though, when people read the whole quote, they realize what he said was not newsworthy afterall.

Sorry bout that,

1. But anyone who thinks everyone is basically good, and trying to do good, when in fact they are doing evil, is to dumb and without a clear thought to discern when they are being dumb.
2. Basically he views are the ramblings of a *Madman*.
3. I didn't know Will Smith was so dumb as hell.
4. Learn new stuff all the time I guess.:coffee:

I figured as much. We say 'right on' here in the states.

[nevadamedic]

I disagree with Will Smith's support of Obama Bin Laden just because he is black.

[actsnoblemartin]

I dont think will smith is racist, but he is a typical liberal.

Nobody is bad, everyone is good...

well no, some people are just assholes.

some 1% of the time some 100% of the time, and hitler was the 100%.

some people are just born evil, and cant be reprogrammed, criticism that will said something stupid, is fair

criticism that will is racist against jews is completely unfair

any questions

:laugh2:
