That was awesome. As much as I agree with that, him getting into art school I can imagine would've done at least some good. And if not, well piss on me, then. :P It's not like we'll ever know, anyway. Because apparently it is impossible to go back in time:www.livescience.com/technology/070307_time_travel.html

Not impossiple, using the 5th dimension its possible to fold in on the 4th dimension (time) and travel backwards and forwards. Atoms and other subatomic particles are capable of doing this, but we haven't been able to figure out how to do it with ourselves yet. Yet.

"Imagining the Tenth Dimension" is an interesting read from a philosophy standpoint, but it doesn't have very much to do with the actual dimensions of space and time. Atoms aren't subatomic, and anyway subatomic particles don't travel in time other than in the same way we do (Unless you want to view antiparticles as time-reversed regular particles, but in which case our interaction with them only takes place on a time-forward basis).

I've heard a lot about his paintings. but I've never actually seen them before. What I find weird is that they've gained a lot of notoriety for being such bad paintings; looking at them now, they don't seem so bad. Maybe the standard of quality just took a steep downward climb since then.

Even if he did do something good like helping the economy what good was it after the war when a lot of Germany was destroyed? Besides he didn't really help the economy i mean sure he gave people jobs but that was because the whole Jewish population was sent to concentration camps, most of the men became soldiers and those who got jobs were in construction and taking care of the city. He didn't do good for anybody. @ fools: You wouldn't be able to write that if Bush was a dictator.

Hitler originally worked for German intelligence, and "went native" investigating the subversive organisation the NSDAP. It's likely admission to art school might have made little or no difference. He was chosen as party leader for his skills as an orator and ruthless desire for power; had a more highly skilled political animal - Hess, for example - been in charge, the results may have actually been a longer war and many more dead.

Not true. Hitler used the depression, and the previously existing Anti-Semitism in Germany (as well as many other countries of the world) to fuel the war. He was, quite litterally, mentally unstable and found great joy in the knowledge that his country was at war. He felt betrayed when the treaty of Versailles was signed, thus ending the first world war (at that point known as the Great war), and wanted to continue. Of course Hitler's war made millions of jobs for all participating countries, including Germany (whos dollar: the mark, was only a millionth of the american dollar at the time) and saved the economy, so if you want to talk of balance, you could say that Hitler balanced out the Great Depression. This is of course, in no way excusing Hitler's actions, who deserved to be destroyed in his own death camps, were he not so much of a coward as to kill himself before being found.

But also you got to take account that the Holocaust was not only a genocide, they used the people's hair for mattress stuffing and skinned them to make wallets and lamp shades. Hitler mass marketed the deaths of the people he was exterminating, and from that made a lot of profit. That was not economic salvation, it was pure insanity.

While historical evidence exists of the economic depression of Germany brought on by the first world war, and Hitler is documented to use that as one of his many platforms, I find it amusing to hear you speaking of his feelings as if you had personal experience of them. Humans find it difficult enough to know what someone else is thinking, let alone feeling, without that person telling us, and even then we have to take into account their intentions. Yet you know the feelings of a man long dead. Congratulations, you will probably end up with a Nobel prize, given your extraordinary discovery.
Sarcasm aside, Hitler made Germany what it is today, and no one will argue the strength of its economy. Same can't be said for the land of the free, ey?
And are you really so naive and immature to say killing oneself is the act of a coward? Have you ever been faced with death? It takes a strong person to come to the logical decision that the ride is over, and there's no point in hanging around anymore. He controlled his destiny from the beginning to the end. He didn't kill himself because he was a whiny American Emo kid, he made a logical decision. But then I suppose that is the American definition of madness, right? Or should we ask Dr Phil?

The primary contribution Adolf Hitler made to German society was that he totally destroyed Germany: in 1945, Germany was literally in ruins. Millions upon millions of people were dead. Millions more were homeless and starving (in Germany, not just in the countries Germany invaded). Germany had no economic, no coherent political system, no communications system, no libraries, no schools, no hospitals. In a sense German society did not exist in 1945 and had to be rebuilt from scratch to become modern Germany.
One might mention things that Hitler did ostensibly to benefit Germans before 1939, but faced with the legacy of the National Socialist dictatorship and what state Germany was in in 1945, such things are laughable at best as "contributions to society."

I happen to have read several Biographies of Adolf Hitler, and do not take credit for everything that was written, but i must say. Yes. I do stand by my previous statement that Hitler did save Germany and the economy of the Americas, despite all of the horrific deaths. rather than everyone mention all the negatives of everything, i thought i should point out the positives however grim that may sound. However unforetunate it is, war always stimulates and skyrockets the economy of countries. More jobs are needed to fill in the spaces of those who left for war. During the second world war, Women went to work. They gained the right to vote, and made their first giant leaps to equality. After the war, Automobiles were sold dirt cheap, and struggling companies changed their main products to war supplies, and were spared from bankrupcy.
And as for the suicide, it may take logic to know when to commit suicide, but it is still a cowardly way out.

Even if it had been someone else besides Hitler, there's at least some chance that over 12 million people would not have been exterminated by the Nazi scum. The mass genocide wasn't critical to German dominance and probably did more to hurt their chances for Pan-European domination than it did to help.

If only GW Bush had gone to art school instead of...

He was rejected from the art school in Austria because he was really only good at art where buildings and landscapes were the subject. He lacked the talent for drawing and painting people. He said the art school was run by the Jews and this is where some people believe came his hatred for this group. Germany was in a very desperate economic situation when Hitler came along He found out what the people wanted and gave it to them. He did help Germany economy at that time. I feel sorry for the innocent that were killed though!

I understand he wanted to be an Artist but was not accepted at University.

Did someone forget that over 6 million jews, disabled people, elderly people and anyone else not suited to the Natzi Nordic race were systematically tortured, performed medical experiments on, and died in gas chambers, shot or abused by any other insane method? If you want to go ahead and admire his art, then you just go ahead and do that....I suppose that you would be the type to defend a serial killer and debase the victims. I for one, have no illusions about Hitler and what he did. I also know that my family fought during World War Two to make sure that you have the right to do so. I know him for a mad man, and I thank God every day that he was never allowed to become a world power. If he had, how many of you would be sitting there talking about the poor soul that was manipulated into becoming THAT mad man. Evil is Evil....you should be more careful about what you think and say.

If there is one thing I could change in History, it would be forcing the freaking art school to let Hitler in. That might not stop Hitler from becoming a Nazi and ruining the lives of millions of people but I'm sure it would've helped the chances of him just living the rest of his life painting cheesy ass paintings of flowers, buildings, dogs, and mildly good looking woman.

The world lines have a way of correcting themselves, or even rebounding. Removing Hitler might put someone even more evil in his place, probably Josef Mengele. Coincidentally, this is the exact same reason nobody will remove Bush from the timeline, either.

Your last part of the comment is not even closely correct, Bush is a dumb ass not a dictator; we want him out of office because he hasn’t done anything for our country except war, less jobs, and two recessions. Hitler killed millions he might be evil, but to the country he did a lot to make the economy of Germany flourish, do not compare an idiot who is screwing our country for someone who was a heartless animal, but did much for his people. Bush doesn’t...

Actually, the German currency became so diluted and worthless that it was cheaper to burn their money for heat. They printed endless amounts of their currency and Inflation skyrocketed. Germany even attempted to drop Counterfeit British currency over Britian to try and dilute the power of their buying power as well.

While Bush does indeed appear to be a dumb ass, let us never fool ourselves that the "leader of the free world" *cough* gets there by his own means alone. There are obviously many concerns behind the throne, and Bush is a perfect puppet: malleable, ineffectual and, as you said, a total dumb ass.
I take exception to your flagrant misuse of the word evil, but this is not the forum for that discussion. However, using the words "heartless animal" is something I have to question. How many animals have you encountered that butchered other sentient beings "just because", or for their own gain, without need for the flesh? How many animals have you encountered that did not respond to a gentle touch and a soft voice? I realise it is an expression, but these small words poison minds and program people subconsciously to regard animals as nothing but vermin.
Please choose your words carefully.

@lettieric:
really? he's not a dictator? why, because he doesn't (directly) attack his own people? he doesn't have to. he sends them to iraq. bush is the quintessential definition of a dictator. he does what he wants, he breaks laws if he feels like it. he holds our troops on tours beyond the limitations of their agreements with the armed forces. blackwater is not held to us law. he forces our imperializm on countries that never attacked us. he breaks international law. and most importantly, we will do nothing to stop him, will we? we are just one person, what can we do? pathetic.

Hitler was an ok artist. you need to be brilliant to stand out on an international landscape. Now he was a brilliant orator, and had a knack for accumulating power. Ever think what would've happened if we just let him go? Germany never attacked the United States directly, Japan did. So we bomb the hell out of Japan, why would we have sent troops to Germany? Sure killing people is bad, but its really none of our business.

1st) Art?.. what art?.. these are just some decorative images. Use the word sparingly and appropriately.
2nd) Animal? Hitler was an animal and evil? Stop this naive and irresponsible stuff. It's not animals and devils that destroy our civilization and bring mass death and horror. It's us = people and our social/political systems in which YOU are part of.
It's really depressing to read many of the comments here..

Of course, as has been pointed out, regardless of whether he became a dictator or not, it would have been *someone*. The socioeconomic forces at work were too strong; someone would have bubbled up out of them. Bad times breed apparatchiks.
All that being said, however, that is one weird lookin' german shepherd, or whatever that's meant to be. S'all crooked and stuff.
