NYT Magazine asked readers "could you kill a baby Hitler?"

not me, no way in the wide earthly world could I harm a baby!

DrumSteve · 23-10-2015 08:47PM

Well not now I couldn't.

I don't think I'd kill him, I'd probably rape him instead.

Is that better or worse?

Well, the baby hasn't done anyone any harm, so isn't the question a bit playschool-ish

AgileMyth · 23-10-2015 08:50PM

No. If I kill another baby people will think I'm weird.

Ally Dick · 23-10-2015 08:50PM

Nein

tomwaterford · 23-10-2015 08:51PM

In a heartbeat

mad muffin · 23-10-2015 08:52PM

No because WWII brought us so many technological and medical advances. It also reduced the population by a significant amount.

I couldn't kill him as he's a baby but I would ask him if suffers from gas.

LDN_Irish · 23-10-2015 08:53PM

Then you'd have to tell people you had sex with Hitler though.

What is the point of killing a baby? Why wouldn't you just take it away and try to bring it up to be a decent person that would grow up without some insane hatred of the world?

Is rape worse than murder?

Nichard Dixon · 23-10-2015 08:58PM

it might be interesting to circumcise him though.

Maybe just make sure he gets plenty of art lessons and he should be fine

This is just like that bit from Babylon5: The Lost Tales where Sheridan is pushed to kill a boy who he has a vision of attacking Earth when he's older. Instead of the easy choice, he instead kinda adopts him or something like that and raise him to be a good'un.

Where my B5 fans at?!

NYT poll result:

42% - yes
30% - no
28% - not sure

I would name him Barry and ship him to Australia. Hopefully he would start a reign of terror over there instead.

Wow. Whenever I shall see your username from now on I will think of that comment.

Stay classy, or whatever it is you think you are.

Of course you could. Would you though ?

It would be somewhat futile as it was Mussolini who developed fascism and Himmler was probably even more an evil nutter than Adolf.

If a "baby Hitler" was born today, he wouldn't have the same experiences as the real Hitler did. His life was shaped by World War I and its aftermath: he was injured, and thought there was a conspiracy in German civilian circles ("Jews and Communists") to lose the war.

After the war he was assigned to military intelligence to spy on the German Workers' Party, but found himself in agreement with much of what founder Anton Drexler believed; he basically ignored his spying task and fully joined the party as soon as he was discharged from the Army. Without the war, he wouldn't have been in the Army, and wouldn't have been exposed to the ideas he later co-opted.

as an alternative , kill his dad , apparently he was part of the reason he was messed up

Surely on the week that we saw Back to the Future day, we should know that disrupting the Time continuum creates a time paradox and a new temporal event sequence resulting in an alternate reality creating an alternate 2015

Doc would say....don't foooook with the time continuum.

So no!

I blame the parents.

Social services should have taken him into care.

However moronic you think people might be, you always underestimate them.

Could YOU kill baby Hitler?
