Wow. That's moronic. Still, it is strange that this news is in my neck of the woods and this is the first I have heard of it.

Sounds a bit too twisted

Something tells me that one reason this could have happened is that the kids didn't know who Hitler actually was. And in that case, I sure do fear for the education system

wow.

I'm curious how that managed to get in the yearbook. I worked on our schools yearbook my senior year, everything we wrote was quadruple checked.

Somebody wasn't paying much attention.
Or didn't take their history course...I don't think Hitler is a good role model for success...unless your definition of success is being in a ditch on fire.

"And in the last analysis, success is what matters," -Adolf Hitler, the fool that attacked everybody just because he thought he could.

I don't believe it was a mistake ever.

The student or whoever wrote that identify with the quote which Hitler had spoken.

It's as simple as that.

It is disturbing because when a person much more a young student identifies with that sentence then the sake of achieving goal justifies any method which actually doesn't!

When taken as an intrinsic value that sentence would make people as corrupt as their desires take and make them.

The problem is if everybody adopts the same kind of stance (even to varying degree) then everything will become chaotic, crumble and every mankind civilization and society as we know now will come to end and we all be living like savages.

That quote is A MAJOR FAIL!

Even if Hitler had won WWII and ruled the entire world.

When men regress their civilization will too. That is a guarantee!

I see nothing wrong with the quote.

"The end justifies the means." Machiaveli
That's a whole lot colder than the quote from Hitler, and I learned it in school.
Double standard???

I fail to see a problem with quoting Hitler in a school yearbook. It is not like that quote is espousing genocide or proclaiming superiority of any race over another. The fact that the person quotes was an insane little **** does not make the quote itself any less valid.

Machiaveli....no surprise personally I hate the guy's ideals that has inspired many crook political leaders and tyrants. Those people were or are successful because the others couldn't afford to go as low or lower . . . .It's amazing(or disgusting) how successful you can get when you live a life without moral consideration at all of course if done with proper intelligence or cunning because the truth is most capable men just can't afford reducing themselves to that kind of low point.

The motto which I believe:
Believe in nothing but your own desires, regard nothing but your own desires, do anything to make them happen. Freedom to be an anarchist without being thought one or even admitting to that. There's NO LAW from above or below to ever be heeded AT ALL but your own desires except when it's directly and as long as it is profitable. Befriend those you cannot fight against, avoid and fool those you can't win against and befriend but crush any other perceived threats otherwise, the sooner the better.

Total anarchy.
No form no ideals no principles, only desires and opportunities that come to make them happen. NOTHING IS SACRED.
Live to worship your own desires. Die in satisfaction.

I would have thought whoever put it in there identifies with the quote in the sense that 'success matters', or something like that, not that it matters in any cost. Anyone who quotes Hitler in a yearbook might well be ignorant enough not to understand the meaning of the quote.

It would mean that way had he not put Hitler nor Machiaveli after the sentence

.

For example
Had he written

"And in the last analysis, success is what matters," -Lord Jesus Christ

it would mean entirely different than

"And in the last analysis, success is what matters," -Adolvie Hitler

but we all know Christ never said that

Just another wonderful example of the "clueless" generation America is churning out

08-27-10, 11:57 AM

The fact that the quote was correctly attributed to Adolf Hitler makes me question the faculty oversite. Was there any?

GoldenRivet · 08-27-10, 12:01 PM

serious lack of judgment putting that into the yearbook.

good quote though

just made by an infamous person

and this meant that a newspaper got info, and then gave it one second,under normal circumstances, so things do not happen, then you have tight control on what should be printed and carefully checked several times, it is an example of ignorance.
