This post sums up my view of the poll quite well. I don't like the question, and I don't like the type of people who would ask it. Intellectual filth. | ||

I wouldn't mind being hated forever, but it would really screw things up for your family generations down the road. Also the comparison to Hitler is pretty bad, seeing as he has only been hated for less than 100 years which is hardly a long time. We'll forget about him in the future. On that note you would have to destroy like half of the world or something in order to accomplish this.

Also, from a historical standpoint I personally find it interesting how a man could disguise such an evil and disgusting scheme behind loud speeches and blind nationalism. It's all about opportunity. Germany was at a major low in morale after the first world war, and Hitler promised many great things for them. Given that Germany had previously been a very proud nation, they jumped at the chance to be considered equals or even superior to the rest of the world. Had Germany not been in the state it was in, Hitler never would have came into power. | ||

I share a similar view to this guy. I think it shows you have some issues if you would rather be hated than forgotten. Being forgotten isn't a big deal at all. The vast majority of people who have ever lived have already been forgotten. | ||

Accepting that you'll be forgotten is something that pretty much everyone has to learn to live with. Wanting to be a fame monger at the expense of the suffering of tons of people just so someone will remember your name is a pretty clear sign that something isn't right in your head. | ||

Wanting to be a fame monger at the expense of the suffering of tons of people just so someone will remember your name is a pretty clear sign that something isn't right in your head. Exactly. It's a logical thought (not one of opinion) that presents the statement: "Someone who would rather be hated than forgotten has something not right in their head." What are some of people's reasons for preferring to be hated, or more specifically; Why is it so important to you after you are dead that people remember you, even at the expense of the well-being of other human beings? I'd much rather do positive things while I am alive because when I'm dead I will have no concept of the thought that "no one knows who I am!" "I" will cease to exist and it will simply be a body left. So weird how when people think about death, there's so many illogical ideas that people will stick to. Must be one of the bigger draws of religions, the comfort that there's something after what's now. | ||
