dear, i think you should spend a little more time reading into the continuity of genocides throughout the last and into this century before you question whether hitler would still have been successful in his campaign.

Re: Things change
Someone is trying to to punish innocent people because a child may (or may not) jump in front of a moving car; because it makes them sleep better at night knowing that they've done 'the right thing' and screw the hundreds who suffer. That, to me, is a classic self-righteous attitude.
dude. it's a speed bump, not the blood of virgins.

Re: Things change
Hitler was a nut
see, this is the problem with common thought.
hitler was not a nut. he was not a monster. he was a brilliant leader and a very sane strategist. it just so happened that his goal was the destruction of non-germanic peoples as the scapegoat for german poverty post-wwi.
sure he got a little flustery into the war, but he never lost his mind.

Re: Things change
no. look. just because you have to slow down to a measly torturous 30 miles per hour does not mean you have been wronged. traffic laws change. get over it. really, i'm offended this topic even exists. and how dare you say such things to someone you know nothing about.

Re: loss of freedom
But freedom to travel from A to B at a reasonable speed at no risk to anyone, without being watched, impeded or punished, certainly is.
i don't think you have any kind of right to unimpeded travel. our constitution certainly doesn't. and since when is 35 an unreasonable speed?

Re: Controlling the masses
Noone's saying that it should be. Let's leave aside the official mantra for a minute and apply some common sense. "Safe speed for the conditions" should be a speed where you are in control of your car at all times and can respond to foreseeable danger in a timely manner. Put another way, a speed in which you pose little risk to yourself and other road-users. Do you agree with that?
actually, i think it's the speed at which the average driver will be able to appropriately control the vehicle and be able to stop sufficiently quickly to avoid an accident.
That's what I mean by the slippery slope of self-righteous justification. The difference between our society and Nazi Germany is that we are (for now) two steps removed from that 'final solution'.
for the last fucking time. controlling driver speeds has nothing to do with killing people based on ethnic or religious differences. in fact, it has nothing to do with killing people at all. stop comparing your whiny problem to genocide, you putz.
