Fellows, I am a moderator and try to give a great deal of liberty, even participate in the fun, especially here on the high school forum. All of that being said I believe you could have made this post and at the same time shown more respect to an appreciation of Jewish history and events. Frankly, there are many who will read this thread and be offended at the lack of sensitivity for the thousands of Jews who were murdered at places like Auschwitz. As Prince Harry recently found out, there are some things that are beyond joking about, making inappropriate comparisons to Hitler and a lack of understanding of Jewish history is one of them. To be honest, while I appreciate the topic of discussion (at least the intent of the moderators role), I for one am offended by the comparisons being used and would have deleted this post as soon as I saw it with some level of education about communism and Jewish History to the one making the original post.

By the way, Hitler was not a communist so the comparison of Hitler and communism is inappropriate.

Last note, Prant, great post and respected. Your comparison would have been fine.
