2 IN 1!!! COMPLICATED AND SIMPLE!!!which you will choice to answer?

Hi, friend. Nice discussion. I have noticed most people here at mylot answer to easy discussions rather than the difficult ones even though the discussions are of real life value. I also find myself comfortable in answering easy discussions, but, i try my best to respond to the discussions that are worthy, no matter whether they are easy or difficult. Now, let me answer to your questions. For the first question, i must say that Hitler was not at all smart. Many people would consider that the tactics he used to exercise widespread control and diplomacy showed his smartness. But, you may consider him a clever and tactical reader that shows his shrewd mindedness but the things he was doing fall short of the smartness. a smart person is not only clever and shrewd but also intelligent, as he was not. Secondly, I would say that we can smile when we are sad. It needs some self-control that i think i have. But, the more important thing is that why should we be sad. Whatever is the situation, being sad is never a solution. So, i always try to be happy and i believe whatever may be the situation, God is always with me, if i am on the track of righteousness. So, i try to fix the situation (if i can) in the best way but with a rather free mind. keeping cool and not being sad helps in getting good ideas to mind and resolving the situation much more easily, as well as eliminates the need of having cold blood (if you are happy from within, you don`t need to control your feelings). But, this just my view, different people have different views. Happy Mylotting!!

Hi icesmile, I wil answer the initial question you post but the other two are really two seperate topics in my mind. If I see a simple question and immediately think of a simple one or two word answer, then I simply don't answer it. In my mind I have answered the question and feel no need at all to expand on it. For an example yesterday I saw the question 'How many children do you have'. Without opening the topic my answer was one. To me that was it, I'm not going to go in and expand on it for the sake of it and I don't do one word responses. However if there was an interesting topic posed about Hitler I would go in and answer it as it is a subject which interests me and if the topic is presented in a interesting light I would want to discuss it further. I would not answer your second question though as I do not find it interesting and also I find it too personal.

I have always thought of Adolf Hitler as one of the smartest and most influential leaders of our modern times. The way he was able to arouse an entire nation’s passion and make it forget its collective conscience and be a willing party to one of the largest human genocides, is simply incredible. It certainly requires amazing cunningness, oratory skills, military brains, leadership qualities and oodles of charm to make so many people see his point of view and support him unconditionally, even with pride and hope. Whatever he did was confined not only to his own nation but surrounding nations…going on to an entire continent and from there…God knows where he would have stopped! That requires amazing strength of mind and character and courage. Whatever be his ideology (even if he was Satan incarnate), I would always consider him as one of the greatest motivators of men of modern history.

Was Hitler a smart person? He was certainly charasmitic, he persuaded an entire nation to follow him to hell and still remain (for the most part) loyal. In this respect he can be compared to Napoleon who inspired a similar degree of mindless loyalty even after the disaster of 1812, French support for him was unshaken and even after his final defeat in 1814, they again flocked to support him when he returned from Elba and fought for him again against all the odds. The question of if Hitler was smart or not depends on your view of his tactics. His main objective in waging war was to win control of the rich agricultural and industrial regions of western Russia the "Lebenstraum" of his ideology. In pursuing this he made several fundamental strategic errors. 1/ He failed to secure his rear by not totally defeating Britain, (for which as a Briton I am eternally thankfull) as a result he had to fight a war on two and later three fronts. 2/ He regarded the Russians as subhuman and of no account. Thus making the fundamental error of underestimating the enemy. He also ignored history and what had happened to the two previous invasions of Russia. The Swedish invasion in the 18th century ended in total defeat and the destruction of the Swedish army at the battle of Poltava and then the better known invasion of Napoleon in 1812 which ended in the destruction of his army. He took an army of more than 100,000 men into Russia in June 1812 and barely 20,000 came out again in December 1812. Hitler ignored all this and his arrogance cost the lives of millions of people in Russia and Germany. That was not the actions of a clever man it was the actions of an arrogant dictator who thought that he could run a war singlehanded and ignore the advice of his senior military commanders several of whom (Rommel for one) paid with there lives for opposing him.

icesmile.. you have a good idea here... and of course, for me, I do the simple one as I am not good in commenting on Hitler.. YES, I can hide my sorrows very well.. no matter how unhappy I am, I will still keep my smile.. I do rant about things that I am unhappy to friends, and simply complaining on the stuff.. but I will use a more joyful manners than being in the sad mode.. I am normally in that mode when I am alone..

Hello icesmile, Answer #1 I can't really say a lot about Hitler. All that I can is that he was a role model for all of humanity. Raciosts still live and carry something he had. Answer #2 For everyone in the real world who knows me I am a very cold blooded person. I can lie in almost any situation. But I am trying to change. I think MyLot will help me achieve it. Cheers! Thok

Hitler wasnt so smart as he was shrewd, he came at his people in a time of low wages, and fed them a lot of bull, they so wanted to think he was going to help them recover the econmy that they bought into his crap. I dont think that he was in any way necessary for humanity at all. as for smiling when you are sad its easy as you may not want to tell the whole world why you are sad, it might be your own business and very private.you arent cold blooded you are just protecting your own sanity and freedom.

Well firstly... everything happens for a reason. Hitler did a lot of bad thing, we might not notice the good he did compared to the good he did. Yet destroying millions of lives is not justified but i've never been to question things that happen in the world, because in the long run it brings a lot of meaning.

1)Hitler smart? perhaps but one things for sure Hitler was charasmatic. He inspired many people to do his bidding, and that his actions were neccessary for Germany to rise up again after an economic decline. It's hard for me to decide whether or not I believe Hitler was intelligent. He was to some extent.. after all he wrote a prize winning novel, was a skilled debater and speech writer ect.. Hitler also succeeded in some regards. Under his rule Germany did thrive economically, jobs were created and unemployment decreased, the streets were safer, less crime, the Germans felt proud again about their heritage, fitness was valued, Hitler gave his staff holidays and set up holiday camps. Perhaps Hitler was very wise about how to run a nation but that he wasn't a moral person and rated success of a country above the lives of many individuals. Hitler wasn't neccessary for humanity and the world.. but I still believe sometimes things happen for a reason and the world learnt many harsh lessons, ones we may never forget.. how one nation cannot be allowed to become to powerful, how dictatorship is dangerous, the importance of democracy and international relations ect.. On a very odd note if Hitler did not exist I alongside a great deal of other people would not exist. My grandfathers family who were non jewish but lived under German rule in Holland decided to move after the war to New Zealand to escape all the bad memories and to have a new start. 2)I can smile if im sad but I can't give a genuine smile. A true smile is not held back, is natural and full of joy. Sometimes I smile when im sad for the sake of others, so that they think im alright ect.. Then again I am trained as an actress. So being in control of my emotions is very important to me.
