The numbers in N.Korea are those who have died in death camps, they dont include the famines that have ravaged the country, there are an estimated 300,000 living at the moment in NK death camps.

Saying that I exhibit stupidity implies that I am expressing the quality of stupidity. I am sorry that I don't want to pick up what he laid down as it is. That is what discussion and finding a consensus is for. Saying that I express stupidity by being "wrong" through defying your preconceptions gets in the way of productive discussion.

They are not comaparable, you get fed in US jails. Life expectancy in NK death capms is -5 years, and reports from escapees say that cannibalism is rampant.edit on 27-5-2012 by auraelium because: (no reason given)

US congress has an all time low approval rating because all they do is argue with each other.
Our 'senators' of the West have failed us all. It is a state of emergency. Western nations should all consider doing as the Romans would and calling for a Dictator.
We must stop going along with the charade that is the capitalist democracy that they give us.

A dictatorship is like an old fashioned monarchy in some ways. One can see how a dictatorship could evolve into a monarchy. Napoleon is an example. Any dictatorship that depends heavily on a cult of personality, as the Hitler dictatorship did, could easily evolve into a monarchy. I know that Hitler had no (acknowledged) children, so in his case that wouldn't have happened, necessarily, but it is one of the risks of dictatorship.
I have been in one other thread like this with you, disputing claims made about the influence of the Nazis on the economic recovery of Germany after WW1, but I don't want to argue the case all over again, except to urge people to read deeper into the subject and try to get exposed to some non-nazi sources for information.
The question I would like to ask is, what year do you think that it would have been appropriate for the Germans to assassinate Hitler? Numerous attempts were made on his life, and people were thinking about knocking him off very early in WW2.
When would you have done it?
When most people hear the word 'Dictator' they immediately think of Hitler. Then they think of meglomania and genocide. People forget that Hitler ruled Germany for 5 years before WW2. In that time he took a country that was an economic basketcase due to the crushing Treaty of Versaillis and turned it into the strongest economy in Europe within 4 years.

A dictator is never a soilution especially in a constitutional republic,.

At the same time Hitler was doing all the "good things" for Germany he was also incarcerating dissidents, the infirm, gypsies, artists and gays as well as openly persecuting Jews. Before the war started he marched in to parts of Austria, Czechoslovakia and France before the fighting actually started. He did it all on loans financed by the American and English bankers.
Keep looking for a good example of a dictator -
Maybe Kim Jong Il?
Saddam?
Stalin?
Pol Pot?
Sukarno?
Napoleon?
Constantine?
I think there's merit in challenging established norms.
But not about everything.
