I feel they crossed a line though. There's always a line where no matter how bad you were treated as a child or what you went through, it does not excuse the things you did. That's why I don't feel bad for Voldemort and Hitler. Also because they didn't try to redeem themselves. They just continued to do what they were doing despite people telling them that it was very wrong and getting way out of hand. (And that's an understatement for all that they did.)

It's always is so sad seeing the kids that come from those types of homes who seem to stay upbeat and nice though. They have every right to get upset or cry, but they don't or at least they don't let people see when they do. Sometimes it's good to vent your feelings. It just hurts my heart a little.

I don't think anything excuses it. I think it's more just curiosity. Like, would Hitler always be equally bad no matter what? Or maybe he'd always be bad but to varying degrees. Or maybe he could have been good if some things were different. I'm just so curious! It's a shame we can't do an actual proper scientific study of multiple baby Hitlers in different scenarios!

My childhood was not great but not awful. I think it was probably leaning more towards bad than good though.

Ooh, I should look for that one! For some reason I'm kind of obsessed with baby Hitler! I don't think I could kill him either though. I think I'd end up kidnapping him and running off to see if I could raise him better!

That kind of reminds me of Good Omens. Where the angel and demon quite like Earth and the human race and end up kidnapping the antichrist so he doesn't end up brining about the end of the world.

Um... you all read Good Omens right? I technically haven't, but I was told the general plot of it. Asking because I want to make sure I'm not spoiling anything for you.

No, I've never read it! I'll forget too lol.

I moderate a website. Someone posted something against the rules. I deleted it. She PMed me to yell at me for deleting it. I explained the rules (which I also PM to all new members and bump every once in a while, so I know she knows). And she got very huffy. She kept saying I was obligated to help her redo the post in a way that wouldn't violate the rules. I told her more about what she is and isn't allowed to post. She said I was contradicting myself. (I'm not, she's just determined to misunderstand me because she's determined to find some way that she can post her thing). She said part of the site isn't working. (It's working for me). It really got me worked up and kept me awake last night because this happened right before bed, and it's a neighborhood website, and I didn't make the rules, but I do enforce them, and for some reason everyone thinks they should be able to use someone else's FREE website without following the rules at all (and the rules are very standard, normal, fair, and logical), so they get CRAZY about it, AND they know my real name and address because it's all list there on the site.... So it's a bit nerve wracking!

You're not obligated to do anything for her.
What was she trying to post? And on a neighborhood website?
