Everyone may think that the Nazis were really evil to do that to the Jews, and i'd agree, but it'd been happening for centuries before that. Anti-semitism was happening throughout europe. If the Nazis hadn't have committed the Holocaust, then someone else would have. It just the way the world was.
But it all changed. Whilst the Holocaust was one of the big tragicities of the 20th century, and probably the biggest and most ruthless extermination of civilians ever, it changed everyone's views about inequality. Everyone knew something had to change. So they tried to change it. Compare the world of the 19th century, with its massive amount of unequality and racism; with the world of today, at the start of the 21st century. I'm not saying the Holocaust was a good thing, it wasn't. It was pointless and an act of pure evil. But without it, racism would be alot worse then it is today, and the world would be a much worse place.
Change often happens in some of the worst ways possibly, and often many, many people will die to cause change. And although change isn't always for the best, things changed after WW2. For the better. We shouldn't forget what happened in the past. But shouldn't live there. The past has happened. Only present has been shaped, for better or for worse, it's your opinion to decide that. But we should look towards the future, and try to use the lessons we have learned from the past to change the future. For the better.

Good comes out of evil, but good can never come from evil.
Good can come from good, but evil is much more in abundance.
Perfect is devoid of evil and rich in good.
Some facts, interpret them as you will.

There will always be evil in the world, just as there will always be good. It's like the idea and Yin and Yang. They are both complete opposites, but they cannot exist without the other. There examples of it everywhere, Life and Death, Good and Evil, Love and Hate.
There's much evil in the world, but there's also good. Just because everyone seems to remember all the evil things that happen and have happened in the world, doesn't mean that there isn't good. Good and evil are everywhere, co-existing. Without good, how could we difine evil, and vice-versa.
And nothing is ever perfect, perfect is a term we use to explain something that's really good, or that really suits the occasion. Perfect is a word. Words can never fully describe what they are intended to. Only feelings can truly explain what you think of something.

Ahem, good can exist without evil. They are already defined, the definitions won't change even if one disappears.

By the way, people, the Holocaust is not the largest slaughter of people in the world. In fact, during Stalin's rule, more Russians died than Jews ever did in concentration camps.

As head mod, I am rulling this matter settled under these terms:
The accused has not violated a single rule of ToS, as he/she has not promoted what the Nazis' did, nor does he support what they did in any way shape or form. Therefore, he/she is in every right to use that picture and cannot be punished.
As for the good and evil thing, They do not exist at all, because we define them, and definitions can be changed. What does exist are actions and consequences. The action may do something horrrible, or helpful, but it is not good nor bad. Someone doing what is deemed bad may think he is doing good, because he is feeding his family, or following his religion. Therefore, good and bad cannot truely exist, nor can right or wrong. All they are are definitions that we made up. nothing more or less. And Yin and Yang is about the spirit for one, and it means the harmony within, you cannot have happiness without feeling sorrow, ect.

Does that mean if you're born you gotta kill someone?  |

As far as that Egale Globe and Anchor is concerned I earned the right to Wear and display it. and I will Up hold the Honor of it and not allow those without Honor to tarnish it. IF you feel any that are flying that emblem are being dishonorable message me and I will make sure they do not have that avatar if they are being anything other than honorable.
