Anyone ever read Mein Kampf?

[Br0nc0Buster]

I am just curious if it is worth a looksy

Thanks

[alkemical]

I read parts of it - i think it's important to always read these things. If you don't you just rely on "what you are told".

I read das kapital by marx and it left a mark. In a good way.

[Rohirrim]

I read it back in high school. Don't really remember it much.

[barryr]

I bet George Soros jacks off to it while reading it every night.

[ak1971]

I read it everyday, as I drive my bentley crushing the working man.ROFL!

[gyldenlove]

I read part of it, from a literary stand point it is only a small step up from the back of a corn flakes box.

[BABronco]

I read it. It's worth a look definitely. It is not the greatest read ever or even that good. However, it is a look inside of one of the greatest leaders the world has ever seen.

I think Hitler was a great leader as far as getting Germany out debt and the people working again. However, by starting WWII over bogus claims and plunging the world into darkness from 39-45 costing the lives of over 30 million people---all but negates anything good Hitler did.

He still lives on in less evil means through the Volkswagen "Peoples Car" which he's responsible for starting as well as the Autobahn system.

But yes... the man was a certified nutcase.

I'm not advocating him as being a decent guy. However, Id say he id say he is one of the greatest leaders of all time.

the Germans certainly think so

[watermock]

He would of loved Bernie Madoff.

Yes, I'm sure that the son of a Hungarian Jew that changed the family
name from Schwartz to Soros in response to growing anti-semitism and
the rise of fascism in Europe goes orgasmic to the writing of a madman
who gassed 6 million of Soro's fellow Jews.

Can't believe you are really this stupid. This has got to be an act.

Now you know why I put that idiot on ignore. He's actually that stupid.

Agreed. In many ways, the nazi's didn't lose the war...germany did though.

George Soros (pronounced /ˈsɔroʊs/ or /ˈsɔrəs/,[2] Hungarian IPA: [ˈʃoroʃ]) (born August 12, 1930, in Budapest, Hungary, as György Schwartz) is an American currency speculator, stock investor, businessman, philanthropist, and political activist.[3]

Forbes lists Soros as the 29th-richest person in the world, with a net worth estimated at $11.0 billion. Soros has given $6 billion to various causes since 1979.[1]

Soros is chairman of Soros Fund Management and the Open Society Institute and is also a former member of the Board of Directors of the Council on Foreign Relations. He is also one of three initial funders of Center for American Progress, and is represented on the board.[4] His funding and organization of Georgia's Rose Revolution was considered by Russian and Western observers to have been crucial to its success, although Soros said his role has been greatly exaggerated. In the United States, he is known for having donated large sums of money in a failed effort to defeat President George W. Bush's bid for re-election in 2004.

Former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker wrote in 2003 in the foreword of Soros' book The Alchemy of Finance:

George Soros has made his mark as an enormously successful speculator, wise enough to largely withdraw when still way ahead of the game. The bulk of his enormous winnings is now devoted to encouraging transitional and emerging nations to become 'open societies,' open not only in the sense of freedom of commerce but—more important—tolerant of new ideas and different modes of thinking and behavior.



He's a real piece of sh!t.

[BroncoInferno]

I bet George Soros jacks off to it while reading it every night.

Soros is a Jew whose family changed the name to avoid racist **** like what you just spewed, you fascist. **** you.

[watermock]

Wise enough to walk away from the game while ahead.

BTW, what did he add to the economy, besides speculating his way to riches?

He makes the railroad barons and Hearst look like angels.

Ya think?

[watermock]

30 million is grossly inadequate.

Total:
It's the most intensively studied event of the 20th Century, so the margin of error is not quite a wide here as for most of the other wars and oppressions on this page.

No kidding barry, that was a horribly offensive thing to say.

[snowspot66]

If your read it make sure you find a few supplemental readings to go along with it. If you know the history of the goings on in that time period it gives context for the entire book and can add a lot of meaning.

[TheReverend]

I love Jews, FYI. They're hilarious on the whole, and even grow some hot women.

Another thing I love? Stereotyping.

[Hogan11]

I had to read it in college (Took Nazi Germany as a history elective) and found it to be just like any other political manifesto I ever read....or, in other words, a total snore.

[Jens1893]

Urban legend.

They accelerated the whole process, yes, but the plans were in place and they were being built well before Hitler gained political prominence.

[Jens1893]

the Germans certainly think so

I highly doubt you´re going to find many people who share that view here.

[dreasher54]

I have read parts. book actually sucks, but i agree with the fact I like looking into a great leader horrible person but a great leader. Only one for a fact that was better is Napolean.

[rastaman]

I think we can all agree that Hitler had the vision for his goals but would not have been able to meet his financial goals w/o the help of investment bankers in Europe and in the United States were sympathetic to the Nazi cause and Hitlers charisma!

Oh don't forget, he also stole the property and fortunes of millions of people.

[Hogan11]

The final soluition was stepped up because Hitler had Parkinson's.

[SoCalBronco]

I'm sure Gaff has read it many times over.
