I wish there was a like button ala Facebook.Saelune said:Maybe he owns it the same reason I would ever own a Bible. Understanding an enemy.
That's a really good way of putting it! Thanks man, that's going to be handy if I ever need to argue for my point.II2 said:You're not automatically Christan for reading the Bible. Same applies / etc etc
I did in college. I honestly cannot name another book that was even more poorly written save maybe Twilight. The guy writes like a 5th grader who found himself a printing press.8bitlove2a03 said:It's a book that created a lot of history. It's nothing odd. Now, if he's actually managed to read that abomination of literature, THAT would be odd.
Honestly, has anyone tried reading it? That man needed to go back to grammar school.
It's nice to see someone else say this.Saelune said:It is the religion itself that is the enemy.Wabblefish said:Do you consider Christians as an enemy?
a book, written by one of the most famously evil and hated people in history, and from what i've heard, the book truly sucks from a literary standpoint.Jaime_Wolf said:Your dad owns a book of immense historical value written by one of the most influential people in modern history?

No, it is not.thaluikhain said:It is (sorta) if you are in Germany, where is happens to be outlawed.
Ah, yes, you are right...it seems to be illegal in Austria, however, possibly the people who told me it was illegal in Germany got those two mixed up.TheAmazingHobo said:No, it is not.thaluikhain said:It is (sorta) if you are in Germany, where is happens to be outlawed.
The current copyright holder of the German version (the Bavarian Freestate) has just decided not to license anyone to print it, because they think it´s shit.
It is thus not illegal to own, acquire or read, as long as copyright is not violated (such as via acquiring an historical copy).

not odd at all hell if i had a lot of excess cash id buy one but it would have to be one printed before 1945 and in german, hell if i had the cash id buy as much period items from both sides as i could it would be like ww2 on my wall between war related itemsbart56912 said:if you do not know its the book Hitler wrote in prison it helped him rise to power over germany

Ask any eighth grader in America who Hitler was and they will probably tell you something close to the truth. Ask them who Descartes or Marx was and you will probably get a blank stare.
