Still got those silly looking ears, though.

Meh, kids can be cute in a photo (as they're not making noise or breaking things or bothering me). Then they grow up to be total assholes. How exactly is this news?

Well, few people are truly evil. They're just looking at a picture from a different angle. Like as not, by that age Mini-palpatine had already started forming the views we hold against him now, and like as not they seemed as sensible and right to him as the opposite does to us.
That said, cute != good, and that there crotchspawn has a killer's stare

I dunno, the views I hold against Popeatine mostly that he says that condoms make the AIDS pandemic worse and the whole protecting child molesters thing. I doubt he had an opinion on either of those things as a kid. Unless you count being a Catholic as starting to form those views, I suppose. id82: Membership in the Hitler Youth was mandatory. It's not indicative of anything other than his being a male German of the right age.

Did anyone else paint the mustache on baby Hitler in their mind?
As for Popey there... I think it's the ultimate evidence in how much someone can change.

Has anyone made a joke about young Popetine being cute enough to molest? No? Good, because that would be tasteless.

It's like those pictures you sometimes see of Nazi soldiers playing with puppies and kittens. It's jarring. We think of them as monsters but despite everything they were still mostly people and not that different from us. Um, as far as the pope, I have to respectfully disagree. I like helping people up, trying to give them rights they should already have, not getting sexually molested, chastising those who do molest others. I have never suggested people shouldn't get married for reasons having to do with a very old book, it's icky, or as part of a land grab. Nor have I ever suggested that some people in the world should be in a place of unending torment and pain. Also, other than the occasional DIAF or other such comment expressing rage, I believe most posters here would feel the same way. We are very very different. Sure, Ratzinger and I may have chromosomes that are similar. I'm sure if push came to shove one of us could in theory take a kidney from the other. Perhaps that's what you meant.

Hell, I'm still cute. It's of limited value.

The ears! It must be something about that time. Although I am about 20 years younger than Benny I was horrified to see I too, aged 7, have those same ears! Arrrrrgh!
Sorry. Tried to post pic but am totally useless at it.

Wasn't he a Hitler youth? He was, but by the time came for him to join, it was pretty much compulsory - you didn't have to join, but life would have been very hard for him and his family if he hadn't.

Before I scrolled down, I thought it was going to be a picture of a young Pat Robertson or something.

That said, cute != good, and that there crotchspawn has a killer's stare In fact, until the late-1960's, he was one of the more PROGRESSIVE Catholic clergymen! He was very active in the Vatican 2 reforms & worked alongside some very Liberal clergy who he, at the time, respected & emulated....we're talking the RC equivalent of Shelby Spong....guys into "Liberation Theology" & whatnot. Cool Socialist guys! Then suddenly, after seeing the whole Hippie-Counterculture thing, he rejected those sane, Liberal, Progressive Priests & made a very hard 180! That said, a stuffy NeoCon Catholic Pope is small potatoes! Check this out!: Awwwwwwww.....my gosh! That's the sweetest, most angelic baby! So CUTE! Lookit those LARGE, BEAUTIFUL EYES! Such innocence and sweetness. I wanna give it love and give it hugs and............KILL IT WITH FIRE! AUUUUGGGGHHHH!!!!!! YUCKYUCKYUCKYUCKYUCK!!!!How about these? Old photo of a GORGEOUS AS HELL young hunk....Or an ancient, butt-ugly, mummified, fossilized late U.S. Senator known for his hardcore Dixiecrat bigotry & illicit affair with a black teenage maid who bore his kid? Adorable little boy playing with his best poochy pal....or creepy cannibal killer from Milwaukee?
