    I don't want to euphemize what they have done, but neither the mongols nor Mao have enacted plan and machinery to completely eradicate whole people and to create a superior race by obliterating anyone and anything which does not fit.
    The point you had made was that the Nazis were basically the people who cared less about human lives. The problem many scholars find was that the said Nazi exterminators who preached about murdering millions were good fathers to their children, good husbands to their wives, leading perfectly normal lives, by modern standards.

    Sadly, it is an accepted thesis that the Mongols had a complexity of inferiority. In it, they see that the truth is that the peoples they dominated were much more populous than themselves. (Mongol/Chinese population difference being a blatant one). As such, they considered it "a necessary evil" to systematically exterminate the populations they dominated, so in the eventuality of an uprising, there wouldn't be so many of them left. I pretty much see this as a much worse than what the Nazis tried to enact. It'd be the same as if the Nazis began exterminating everywhere they passed. Millions of Polish, French, Dutch, Belgian and Soviet citizens exterminated. So yes, the Mongols did enact plans to exterminate entire populations. Mao is a special case. Whereas it is believed that Hitler's motives for rebuilding Germany (Which he did, despite the Worldwide Economic Depression, and that is quite a deed) and for the war, uniting "Great Germany", and conquering land for the "vital space" was in part to help the German people prosper and become an indisputable power as a people, being partly "unselfish" motives; whereas Mao cared little for his own people, what he really wanted was more power. Any reason for the development of his country was simply to garner more power so he could bully other countries, and being taken into account more seriously by others.

    Which does not make better what others have done, but i'm no one who said, jokes about everything else would be allright.
    Difference on Human Dignity about death is simply too subjective to even discuss. The fact is that they die for equally stupid purposes.

    I don't have to say something about the following, have i?


    This should be enough.
    I want to indicate that i have never said, Rycalawre was a Nazi, i just pointed out that i consider the report's style as very bad taste and this opinion has not changed and probably will not.
    Simulating a fantasy ancient Baktrian invasion using "inferior people" to describe their Greek enemies, and other phrases which are conoted with Nazism, leads to an extrapolation of Nazi Propaganda? Heck, I wonder around Paradox's forum on the game HoI 2 (World War 2), and many German AARs use those terminologies. Phreaps we should censor them for using certain words while RPing a game? That's what I call a "Nazist attitude" (Example: Grammar Nazi :P). Paleeze.
    BLARGH!
