Webster defines "analogy" as "simularity in some respects between things otherwise unlike". I wonder sometimes if folks really understand the use of analogy in debate...I'm not saying Stern=Hitler, rather I'm comparing philosophical constructs involving the dynamics of human behavior. If a person listens to Stern and adopts a similar view of what constitutes "humor", then that is the same dynamic involved in someone adopting the same point of view as Hitler and acting based on same! Don't get hung up on degree...certainly Stern isn't responsible for slaughtering innocent people but the adaptation of mindsets is the commonality! Folks always seem to have trouble with this...this is a valid analogy the way I've used it!

Somer,
With all due respect, when you're using Hitler in the same sentence with Stern, it just doesn't look right. I would bet my hard earned money (small amount that it is, haha) that Stern does NOT have the same mindset or point of view as Hitler.
