Does Hitler deserve love, comfort and/or life?

Yeah

Everyone deserves love, and that includes Hitler. The question of life is different, if he would have survived till a trial, he would have more than likely been executed. That would have been the sentence he created for himself through his actions.

Side: Yeah

That depends on where you live as to the death penalty. Also, it means did he deserve life. I think murderes deserve life but they are considered too dangerous in many American states to live. He can still deserve it. Also, the question never mentions trials. YOu can deserve somethign but be comdemed to not have it by a court.

Everyone deserves love. He was brought up to hate and despise by his father who beat him up. THe only person he had to cling onto was his mother, and she spoilt him os he was lazy and brat-y. Then she went and dided, her doctor was Jewish. His history teacher encouraged his enthusiasm for Germany. He was born a powerful man with a gift for words. He was tipped to teh wrong team by this cruel earth. He still deserves love. He deserves comfort. So did teh jews, the homosexuals, the Jehova's witnesses, the weaker people. But so did Hilter.

We are not entirely in control of our own thoughts or actions,

Everyone deserves compassion and empathy.

When we understand that there are causal factors which determine what we do, think, or say, then the concept of free will shall be shown for the illusion it is.

Then, instead of seeking retribution from people after they do wrong, we will find ways to prevent those behaviors before they even occur.

Is Hitler not dead? Is there a new Hitler, one that I'm not aware of? Also can you have "comfort or life" as a set of options? I understand you can have life without comfort but surely the opposite is impossible.

Hitler is dead. The dead do not "deserve" anything. Therefore, no.

How does that mean he deserves nothing? besides, the dead soldiers who fighted for our freedom deserve recognition, love adn tehy are dea are they not? Shall we ignore our freedom and teh fact that its all down to them? Also, you are implying it was OK for Hitler to use gravestones as pavingslabs, being disresectful to teh dead. The dead still deserve death.

Also, you can deserve something if your dead or not. It doesn't mean he'll get it. A lot of people on this earth don't get what they deserve. Starving people in Africa. They deserve a chance. they deserve food. Do they get it? No.

Side: Yeah

Thank you for your interesting critical remarks. I was really trying to make the point that once we are dead, "we" no longer exist, except in memory or in the lasting results of our actions, which I think is the sense you are referring to. I don't think Hitler was right to use gravestones as paving-slabs, but not because it was disrespectful to the dead. The dead are not people. They have no rights to respect or anything else, because a dead corpse is not a human being. I know this may sound harsh, but think about it logically: Does it make sense to think about a dead corpse's feelings being hurt? When we worry about the state of a gravestone, unless we are religious and believe in an afterlife (which I do not), I think we are actually concerned for the family's feelings, rather than those of the deceased.
