Are Nazis bad people?

I'm just wondering, i know the things they did were very wrong but do you think they were bad people?

If you say yes to this question, doesn't it mean your a racist? If you said yes your also saying there are different kinds of people in the world...

Yet we are learning every day that all people are equal. Same brain mass, same intelligence etc etc, so what makes Nazis different from you and me?

Are we not all capable of horrible acts like these? Isn't this pure manipulation of the human kind? And are we all able of getting evil after simple manipulation? Of evil what the Nazis did... Or do you honestly believe that it was a coinfidence that a view million psychopaths were born in the same region on this planet?

Do you think you could be a Nazi if the people around you convinced you of such hatred? Aren't we all animals like the Nazis? Isn't this a clear case of nature vs nurture?

Please comment and excuse me for my bad english

That is a serious question that I feel a few people weren't mature enough to answer you seriously!
I personally don't beleive all "nazi's" were bad people. The ones who were doing what they had to to protect their own families, or those brainwashed from a young age cannot be compared to those like Hitler & the Dr doing all the testing/experimenting. You are comparing human vs psychopaths, that's not quite the same.
If you want to know if a person is willing to kill someone, wait until they have a child! They would be willing to do ANYTHING to protect their child! I know I would! Even the most devout Christian would most likely kill to protect their children!

I am not personally from Germany, but I have a very strong German background. If you wonder if people feel bad about what their ancestors did, ask any American if they feel guilty about slavery.

We need to learn from our ancestors, not dwell on the past! If we do we will never get on with our lives!
