I guess i'm in a state of shock still... last Sunday, I was at a great friend's birthday party, and the majority of my friends are the people i was friends with back to, i'd say, about 10th grade at the least... We have ALL stayed pretty close, but some people have drifetd out of the old circle we used to have... this particular girl im referring to, ive known since 4th grade, have been good friends with since 7th grade up until about 11th.. We drifted apart because of some personality and trust issues (shes always been the person to be anti-mainstream, at all costs), but i still have always given a sh*t about her, because she is old roots to me, even though we drifted i still did care about her.. call me loyal... Anyways, so this sunday, we all are kicking it, having a few drinks, and she brings up how she is now a Nazi... like totally in your face all about it, how great hitler was, how jewish people deserved what they got, ect.... I, needless to say, was not only quite intoxicated, but had been awake since 6 AM for work, and it was then 1 AM, so I fell asleep for about 30 min of the straight out fight, and woke up to one of my friends ready to punch her teeth out, literally... after that broke up, I talked to her about why she all of a sudden felt this way, and she went into about 10 min. worth of crazy "Hitler was a genius, homogonized society is perfection" bullSH!T... diddent really give it much thought because I Know she is a very intelligent person (sadly) and that she prolly is in a bad phase of life, until tonight i watched the movie "Bent" (in a nutshell, its about how the nazis in the early 40's persecuted everyone under the sun, and how the main characher in the movie had to watch the 2 people he cared about most, one his husband, beaten to death, the other his best friend, shot in the neck because he cared about him, because of his refusal to admit his affection for the both of them... in the end he decides to die with his best friend/partner because nothing is worth selling your soul)... I cant handle her sh!t whatsoever now... im torn between the girl I knew, a pure heart, and now the poluted soul of a person i once knew, capable of soo much more... right now the movie has me in a very emotional state, but all I can think of is her right now, because she BELIVES IN THAT STUFF.... funny, but she made it a point that night ot say to me that I was "smarter than them", and that i "am an intelligent person worthy of intelliget conversation"... i honesly dont know what to think... Right now I really think saying a big old F U is best, but i also have feelings to try and change her twisted sense of reality... i guess my big question is what would you all do? its a messed up situation, to say the least....

Hitler was a smart man, he built up their economy and made a good army, and then he F***ed up.. If the Jews would have known they out-numbered the Nazi's by so much they could have rebelled, but in no way shape or form is it right to say that the Jews deserved that.. no one deserves attempted Genocide..

To be honest with you, I would smack that girl upside the head and make her watch ever single documentary on the Holocaust..

Hitler was NOT a smart man. He didn't really do much to build up their economy. That's quite a misconception. The concentration camps were basically slave labor. He was a fascist. The economy would've eventually fallen into ruin if he had kept it up because Germany is a small country with very limited resources and they had no economic trading partners. During the 50's and 60's everyone thought the Soviet Union was an economic powerhouse, but it was really because Stalin used about 50 million people in concentration camps known as 'Gulags' to put people to work. It turned out all the Soviets could manufacture was junk, and their economy went to sh*t. Yeah, they accomplished a lot technologically, but they paid a HUGE price for it. Same thing with the Nazis.

As for this stupid chick, someone should call her out and bust on her for doing something that was cool back in the 80's. That stuff was stupid when I was a kid. She's obviously a loser who needs to associate with something. A lot of my friends and I went through a stupid redneck phase in high school, but it was all a bunch of confused teenagers trying to identify with something. Hopefully she'll grow out of it like we did.
