That was so fast, you make me rub my temples in pain, my guy.

Good

People are born into environments they have no control over

Nobody is born a Nazi. That is a choice someone makes. And it’s a choice that has consequences.

If a person is sitting peacefully

Being a Nazi isn’t “peaceful.” There is no “peaceful” state of being a Nazi. Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain of the United Kingdom taught the world that 1936 when he tried to leave Nazi Germany sitting peacefully alone.

The difference between us is, I want Nazis to renounce their Nazi-ism. You don't.

I don't believe you'll always be this way. I believe you can change. Godspeed.

you've made another mistake: assuming you can read my mind. you can't, of course. and, in making that assumption, not only were you wrong, you came to the wrong conclusion-- it'd be thrilled if Nazis renounced their beliefs.

However, in the meantime, neither they nor their beliefs should be tolerated, and you haven't made any argument that compels me to believe otherwise.

and attacking me personally rather than my argument is a pretty weak ad hominem fallacy, as i've demonstrated. so is using the straw man argument about "changing their beliefs" rather than what we were discussing: tolerating them.

i suggest you stick with the facts rather than beliefs and logical fallacies. they make for a better argument.
