oh oh three  
You know, for all the shit people are pulling about this, I can't really see what the big deal is. The Ministry is trying to protect people from the fucking crazies out there. I think it's a reasonable idea but the tattoo part was a little extreme. Maybe just a pass card or something.

I think comparing the new system to Nazis is offensive. Muggleborns should be glad that the government is protecting them until the zealot factions are under control. If they were after Purebloods, I would want to be protected. Not that people would have a reason to single out Purebloods

Didn't I saw the tattoo part was a little extreme? Can you actually bother to read what I was saying before you flip a shit on me? Merlin Cooper.

And the difference here is that Hitler was trying to destroy the Jews, not help them. The Ministry cares about Wizards. Tattoos might not have been the best thing, but they're harmless enough. No one is making you shave your heads or sending you off to death camps, Cooper.

Also, a lot of people don't believe that what happened in Nazi Germany actually happened. Many people think it's just an international lie so people using that comparison should pick something more widely accepted.

Oh, I read it. I just completely disregarded it due to the sheer idiocy of your next statement. Don't treat me as if I'm stupid, Ferris.

No, but it all started with stars of David on clothing and snowballed from there. How can you expect anyone to place their trust in a government that can pass such an extreme law? If they really wanted to protect us, they would find a better way in which to do it.
