Churchill was a rotten painter. Hitler? Now there was a painter. Two coats, one afternoon.

I think it's, "... one apartment, two coats..."

Aw yes, a funny movie.

"Churchill. He couldn't even say Nazis. It's Nazis, not Naaaaaaazeeeees."

You can read it on line or in PDF form on several websites:

Vudak, a well made point there about the Turks genocide of the Armenians. The seed that sowed the holocaust maybe?

Who said anything about Turks being our enemies Skydancer? They are our stout allies.

Che's book is sold w/o problem in Russia (I mean a book about Cuban Revolution, "Partizan warfare guidebook" and Bolivian diaries in one cover).

I suppose Chechens didn't read "Partizan warfare". Otherwise Federal troops in Chechnya could have much more problems.

Mein Kempf was sold in Russia openly in the 90s. Now it's availible on the Net. You must know the face of your enemy.

Read the communist manifesto for grade 7 Civics class. My friends and I were too immature at that age to take it seriously.

He saw it for what it was, prankish and immature, but our reading the manifesto made his life harder than it needed to be after that for the next three years.

What school did you attend and when?

Manifesto looks quite naive now. But I always liked a part about collectivization of women

I feel sorry for you guys, but it seems that when not studying Quran your stout allies entertain themselves by reading the Book of the Nazi.

I'd like to read it sometime - but I wouldn't like anyone making a profit of me buying it....

There is somethig disturbing about this book becoming a best seller. I'd say it's unlikely that a lot of people suddenly became intellectuals and want to read it for their general education.

Turky is a facinating coutry and at a delicate state right now. A muslim democracy (where the army fills the role of democracy "guard dog"), at the gates of the EU and just might become the 1st non-cristian nation to join, has deep historic, millitary, economic and diplomatic ties with Israel, part westen part 3rd world and a population of 80M...

I consider it Israel's 3rd most important allie after the US and Germany together with the UK (yes, as important as the UK). I really hope this one don't turn up Nazy.

What a nice example of antipiracy laws' winding paths scrupulously followed by Bavaria.

This freaking German land holds Adi Hitler's copyright ?! How come ? Isn't it obvious that all the proceeds from the sales of this book MUST go to the Red Cross & Crescent charitable activities in the war zones ?
Where's the funny U.N. ? If the Allied Powers at the Nurenberg trials missed on this matter (proceeds from copyrights of international war criminals), why nobody raises this question at the U.N. today.
Now we have "Dr" Goebels's diaries, Hitler's "Mein Kampf", [another "Dr"] Alfred Rosenberg's notes for the "arianization" of Ukraine and other Ostland territories. And somebody enjoys the benefits brought in by the
possession of copyrights on these writings ?

This have to be stopped !

To be fair to Bavaria, they don't make any money out of sales of Mein Kampf, and use the copyright to try to prevent publication of the book.

There's a good article on the copyright issues surrounding Mein Kampf at http://www.cabinetmagazine.org/issues/10/mein_royalties.php
