Dude, you've already insulted gays on this site and told us that you feel it's wrong. Hitler felt the same about Jews. You can replace "gay" or "atheist" with "jew" and you are basically Hitler, minus the killing. If you could though, you would support another global flood or an apocalypse that would kill them gays though, right? Jews are sinners to Hitler, gays are sinners to you, and between you and Hitler, both are not worthy of life, right? Side: Yes
Are you serious? Hitler wanted to kill certain groups of people. He hated them. It was far more than a rights issue. Acting out of hate is so much different than this case. This assertion is extremely insensitive and I think an apology is in order. You need to straighten things out here. Side: No

Cuaroc and Hitler are very similar, they are both humans. Cuaroc and Hitler are very similar, they both lived on Earth. The connections are so weak it's not even funny. Dude, almost everyone on the fucking planet holds some sort of prejudice towards some group. You hold prejudice towards Christians it would appear, and Srom. But the connection is so weak, that the comparison becomes worthless. Grow up, and stop name calling. Side: No

Personally speaking stop despising Srom. I mean, he may be insensible, but still, he's not supposed to be a victim of cyberbullying. Even small derogatory comments causes unwanted hurt in the long run. Anyway, it doesn't hurt having some life in a debate. Besides, I have no life, so I need someone like him to make things more lively:D Side: No
Legislation geared at penalizing cyberbullying has been introduced in a number of U.S. states including New York, Missouri, Rhode Island and Maryland. At least seven states passed laws against digital harassment in 2007. Dardenne Prairie of Springfield, Missouri, passed a city ordinance making online harassment a misdemeanor. The city of St. Charles, Missouri has passed a similar ordinance. Missouri is among other states where lawmakers are pursuing state legislation, with a task forces expected to have “cyberbullying” laws drafted and implemented.[46] In June, 2008, Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-Calif.) and Rep. Kenny Hulshof (R-Mo.) proposed a federal law that would criminalize acts of cyberbullying.[47]
Lawmakers are seeking to address cyberbullying with new legislation because there's currently no specific law on the books that deals with it. A fairly new federal cyberstalking law might address such acts, according to Parry Aftab, but no one has been prosecuted under it yet. The proposed federal law would make it illegal to use electronic means to "coerce, intimidate, harass or cause other substantial emotional distress."
In August 2008, the California state legislature passed one of the first laws in the country to deal directly with cyberbullying. The legislation, Assembly Bill 86 2008, gives school administrators the authority to discipline students for bullying others offline or online.[48] This law took effect, January 1, 2009.[49]
A recent ruling first seen in the UK determined that it is possible for an Internet Service Provider (ISP) to be liable for the content of sites which it hosts, setting a precedent that any ISP should treat a notice of complaint seriously and investigate it immediately.[50]
18 U.S.C. § 875(c) criminalizes the making of threats via Internet.
Harmful effects
Research had demonstrated a number of serious consequences of cyberbullying victimization.[10][29][30][31] For example, victims have lower self-esteem, increased suicidal ideation, and a variety of emotional responses, retaliating, being scared, frustrated, angry, and depressed.[29]
One of the most damaging effects is that a victim begins to avoid friends and activities, often the very intention of the cyber-bully.
Cyberbullying campaigns are sometimes so damaging that victims have committed suicide. There are at least four examples in the United States where cyber-bullying has been linked to the suicide of a teenager.[29] The suicide of Megan Meier is a recent example that led to the conviction of the adult perpetrator of the attacks.
Intimidation, emotional damage, suicide
According to the Cyberbullying Research Center, "there have been several high‐profile cases involving teenagers taking their own lives in part because of being harassed and mistreated over the Internet, a phenomenon we have termed cyberbullicide – suicide indirectly or directly influenced by experiences with online aggression."[51]
The reluctance youth have in telling an authority figure about instances of cyberbullying has led to fatal outcomes. At least three children between the ages of 12 and 13 have committed suicide due to depression brought on by cyberbullying, according to reports by USA Today and the Baltimore Examiner. These would include the suicide of Ryan Halligan and the suicide of Megan Meier, the latter of which resulted in United States v. Lori Drew.
Lost revenue, threatened earnings, defamation
Studies are being conducted by large companies to gauge loss of revenue through malicious false postings. Cyberstalkers seek to damage their victim's earnings, employment, reputation, or safety. A 2008 High Court ruling determined that, generally speaking, slander is when a defamatory statement has been made orally without justification. Libelous statements are those that are recorded with some degree of permanence. This would include statements made by email or on online bulletin boards.[52] Side: No

You're right a typical Christians is much worse than Hitler This is just so wrong. Honestly, do you really believe this? Tell me what makes you think so. I'm really interested because something this offensive is going to need some exceptional evidence to be taken seriously. Otherwise, you're just making a wicked generalization that is horribly wrong, while in the process insulting millions of people. So support your claim. I'd love to hear how typical Christians are much worse than Hitler. Side: Yes
Saying things like "a typical Christian" is just as ignorant in my opinion. While I agree that Srom is not the most intelligent user on the site, he's just a kid. And he was brought up in a home that he had no control over. Instead of categorizing him as just a "typical Christian" why don't you talk to him and try to reasonably debate with him. And there are some pretty amazing Christians out there who focus on the love of Christianity and not just the big guy in the sky. Side: Yes

Srom is not anything like Hitler. He's just a kid who has a different set of beliefs to you, he's one of the nicest people on the site (a little frustrating at times though), and would never make this debate about you. Just leave him alone and stop slandering his name. Side: No

What is it with all the invocation of Godwin's law on this website recently? Reasons Srom is like hitler: (1) He is a Christian. (2) He is not in support of Gay rights. Well that just about sums up a substantial percentage to the worlds population, it would seem by your logic that millions of people are like Hitler. Now Reasons I am like Hitler. (1) He supported Darwinian thinking. (2) He loved music. (3) He was generous to the people close to him. And that's just three, so I'm now like Hitler is some respect and so is another substantial portion of society. Why don't you leave this guy alone, having a laugh in a debate is one thing, but taking personal digs at another debater by setting up a debate is ridiculous and shows your true colours. Side: No

You're a really sick person. Honestly, what is your problem? Srom is living in accordance with the Bible, meaning he has different beliefs then you. Christians do not hate homosexuals. Christians believe that homosexual activity is a sin. What's so hard to understand about that? To oppose gay marriage is so far off from Hitler's atrocities that it's laughable you're actually trying to make this comparison. This debate actually proves my point about people here slandering Srom. I specifically made a debate about this, if you are interested in explaining why you feel the need for this childish insulting, please visit my debate. Clearly, the majority is against you here, and rightly so. Side: No
