Not that it's a bad quote or anything but the more you know and all that. In hindsight, he probably wasn't the first to say it.

Hitler said a lot of words,it'd really suck if you couldn't use any of them...

It's ok, I can't speak German anyway. I think I'm good.

I believe it's already been stated the actual inspiration was a quote from an Indian fellow who basically said the same thing, and that the writer liked the line so much in regards to Leona they put it right in there, oblivious of the context.

I'll be honest, I was also oblivious to the context. Haven't read Mein Kampf.

Funny thing. The Nazi Symbol is the Indian Symbol for peace ;)

Actually it isn't. The manji is reversed and square as compared to the swatstika. It's a bastardization

Awkward.

It's annoying trying to bait people into something by comparing Leona to one of history's infamous dictators. Please find other means to troll forums like this one.
I'm pretty sure Hitler used 'the' a lot, or it's German equivalent 'das.' Should we move away from using 'the' in any form because he used it?
I'd make a really good Bionicle reference right about now. But I can't think up of anything clever that wouldn't be directly or indirectly degrading to you, so I won't say anything at all.

No reason to get angry. I never said it couldn't be used and I wasn't comparing Leona to Hitler. I was simply stating something I found interesting.
