bearded Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 I was just wondering if anyone saw the Timewatch documentary on 25/26th November. It was about the CIA doing a psychological profile of Hitler. Why I mention it is because when they were looking into his childhood using Freudian methods, and deducted that as his father wa violent, his mother wsa too protective and that he probably had problems with potty training, that it had made him, guess what, asexual. They described asexuality as an infantile view of sex.I was thrilled - not. 2013 Mod Edit: We can watch the documentary : Link to post Share on other sites

Therefore inferences about others cannot be reliably made upon said data. Link to post Share on other sites
anticulus Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 So many people have tried to psychoanalyse Hitler over the years that he has probably been "diagnosed" as being just about everything you could think of at some point. Link to post Share on other sites

Therefore, all vegetarians are disturbed :) Link to post Share on other sites
Verin Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 It bothers me that because one idividual did something terrible that anyone seen to be similiar to them should be tormented about it. Have we as a people not learned to judge people as individuals and not as groups or neat 'boxes'? I wonder at times... Link to post Share on other sites
Asterion Orestes Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 BTW: Hitler was a vegetarian. Therefore, all vegetarians are disturbed And a teetotaler. (Which would not necessarily make him a teetotalitarian. :lol:) Link to post Share on other sites
