Mein Kampf
Anyone read the book? Just got it today and looking forward to it just wondered if anyone one else had read it. If so what did you think?

Re: Mein Kampf
A must read for every open thinking person, gives you a pointer to Hitlers hatred of the Jews Gipsies and mentally defective. The Houlocast was spawned in this book. The results were a tragedy of his twisted thinking, but read Alex nothing like education for broadening your mind. :D

Re: Mein Kampf
Researching a bit, it was actually Hitler's brother who moved to Liverpool for work, and not his father.
'Alois Hitler, Jr. the half-brother of Adolf Hitler lived in the city, was married, and had a child. There is a rumour that Adolf visited Liverpool in 1911 before the outbreak of World War I, and that he drank in the Poste House pub on Cumberland Street.' Facts Photos and Places Liverpool England |
Re: Mein Kampf
This book was, mostly, written by Adolph Hitler while he was in prison for treason. If you get through the whole of it you'll have done well. I've read extracts from it and it was tedious.
The section about the Jewish race was interesting, in as much as it showed how warped and deranged the man's mind was. The whole book, in fact, is written in much the same vein with half-truths and lies manipulated to prove his points. |
Re: Mein Kampf
I've read it, it took forever and it put me to sleep a lot of the time. He used a lot of long intelligent sounding words in the wrong context, so its difficult to understand what he's trying to mean sometimes, but overall I think its brilliant.
I'm guessing your are quite young from the way your post sounds, but correct me if i'm wrong, but I advise that you have a dictionary at hand if u want to make sure you understand it all completely correctly. Not all of the words are commonly used today really and if your young, like myself, you will have a more difficult job than most people who attempt to read it. I think Hitler was a great leader, but powermad and unfortunatly killed alot of people, but he taught the world a lesson and the nazi period of germany has affected law all over the world today to ensure the same thing is less likely to happen again, and its a very important area of history. Also Garinda, I came across a website selling his paintings for quite a few grand, so well done for doing better than that. I quite like a few of his paintings. Do you ever have exhibitions? I dont think i've ever seen your work on here and I dont know your name to know whether u have done well in galleries. |

Re: Mein Kampf
Of course to really understand it you'd have to rad it in the original German - I tried that with 'Der Rote Kampflieger' but gave up and read the English translation instead.

I have to read plenty of books that are just as tedious and some even more boring than that to read, so I am used to reading things of the sort, plus german history is my favourite part of history, thanks to a very interesting tutor at college.

And the one about the man going to the fancy dress party with the woman on my back, and saying 'i'm a tortoise and thats 'michelle' It amazes me how people never get tired of saying the tortoise joke. |

Re: Mein Kampf
What surprises me is that some seem to be taking Mein Kampf seriously rather than as a historical artifact ... the brain farts of a madman, nothing more. It makes political and social sense only to the intellectually challenged. It should have been read in the thirties by those who held power in the western democracies. No one in the England and France (well maybe Mosely, Halifax, and Edward Vlll) took it seriously. Millions of deaths later, most realized that the book was Nazi Germany's grand strategy, out there in the open for all to read.

Re: Mein Kampf
Well it depends what area of law the lawyer is involved in really doesnt it? And it depends how you are defining the word lawyer. If you are referring to a lawyer as just solicitors and barristers and in general criminal/civil lawyers then obviously at least 50% of every case must be telling some form of lie, though most acamedic lawyers have no need to lie about anything.
So no, i'm not being naive, and I think its quite reasonable to say that there are many lawyers that dont just lie. And whats so bad about lawyers being paid so much money for studying long and hard and gaining the privilege of standing in court to defend/prosecute for someone when sportsmen for example get much more than anyone could really justify. |

I'm sure that although you have paid hefty fee's to your legal advisers that you have been advised mostly well in the past rather than bad advice? If a solicitor or barrister doesnt do as good a job as possible for you then you can bring claims against him or her through the right governing body, so surely you could not have had bad services? There are plenty of people that overcharge for their profession, dentists for example, but more often than not you are satisfied with the work they've done rather than dissatisfied. |

Re: Mein Kampf
I don't plan into going into conveyancing thankfully, as I dont intend on becoming a solicitor, though perhaps I may one day be a barrister, but not for a long time as I hope to do a PhD after my LLB, and hopefully specialise in medical law. So not too may people on here would have much use of me hopefully, unless the nurses and perhaps doctors (any docs on accy web?) start practicing euthanasia illegally or something else corrupt lol.

It may be of interest but Hitler did his training as a painter and decorator in Warsaw before the war.......I only know this as he trained with my father who was from a little town outside Warsaw............he was never a " painter".

Re: Mein Kampf
No books will ever express the true feelings of living under Hitler and his regime.
On one hand, he only tried to do (in a very drastic manner obviously) what some of todays politicians are trying to do, how many religios and race related wars have we had since WW2? Just because they do not hit us as hard doesnt mean that they dont exist. Have a look at the cival wars going on, and in fact 'good old Saddam'. On the other, you have people that live and work for the place that is called home, under a leader that you do not necessarily agree with but are powerless to do anything about. Talk to the 'normal' Germans about WW2 and they will give you a better idea of what was going on and the immense guilt that is still felt about the behaviour in those times. Books are all well and good, but they are individuals take on things, and as we all know, we can see the same event differently and have a different opinion about it |

These are a few of Hitler's paintings. I've heard he was supposed to be a painter and decorator. It may be true but, if he was, that must have been before 1914 as he was heavily involved in politics between the 2 world wars. Whether or not he went to Art School in Liverpool is debateable but his brother certainly lived there in the early 1900s. |
