“You’re not going to believe this. There’s somebody postulating on the Steve Jobs’ thread equating the danger presented by the computer with the gas chambers.”
Well the Gemora does say that it is worse to cause somebody to do an aveira than it is to kill him, so I don’t think the comparison is all that crazy.
“Of course, he’s on the computer himself (what a shocker).”
A computer with filtered internet is not a danger.
“A computer user has the choice how to use the tool, as compared to someone in the crematorium or gas chamber who had no choice.”
The point is not whether somebody has a choice or not, the point is how much damage these things are doing (or did) to the Jewish nation.
“Of course this poster compares the inventor of both these devices, where the gas chamber’s invention was made SOLELY to exterminate people…”
Yes, I think comparing Steve Jobs to Hitler is ridiculous, seeing as one was trying to wipe us out and one was trying to entertain people and make money. However, inadvertent damage is still damage.
