it seems the dumbed-down american tv with instant recaps following the commercial break every five minutes, has de-evolved you into a cabbage. that in turn has given you the illusion that everyone else is retarded as well, and that even the most obvious cultural references simply must be pointed out to become understood. here in the civilized world, we take a different stance: people are assumed to have a working knowledge of basic cultural references, and if not, able to seek enlightment when running into something they've never seen or heard of before. in short, they're not assumed to be idiots.

when I come across americans like rbmorris, handyandy, galaxyshield, mimor, sunburnt and many many more, I'm filled with hope and optimism for your country. young and old, there still are many people with thoughts, creativity and integrity struggling among the rotten brain zombies rooting for worse education, worse healthcare and general decline of western civilisation. then I come across you, the rightwing nutters, religious crackpots, nationalist yahoos and the rest of the bipedal plague infesting your country, and my heart shrinks as I think of the painful shame you must induce in the decent people living beside you. a cruel and disgusting joke of a sick, twisted universe, and enough to make any sane man raise his fist at the skies and scream why.



btw, your text reads exactly like the guy who's been stalking me around for years.


edit: this one I really meant, every word. do your worst with it, marketing scums!

Any questions?

a few weeks ago gb created a few threads which i posted... just to see the creation a gb thread would get under a different users name.

these are the threads -

26 ways - Thread 126658 - stay on topic and went past the first 26 into a new set.

100 reasons - Thread 126673 - stayed on topic for about 10 posts then died.

knots 'n stuff - Thread 126818 - few predictable responses, thread died on page one.

changes you'd make - Thread 126741 - 5 pages, all pretty much staying on topic.

recent thoughts about how to cheapen things - Thread 127117 - was a dud.

ssshhhh don't tell gb - Thread 127251 - with a different title this thread was originally posted by gb and was removed by forum mod. i post it and it struggles to 15 posts but stays on the forum.


i believe that's all of them.

First off let me clear a thing: during the 20' and 30's Hitler and Mussolini were seen and portrayed as good guys that were doing a tough job of keeping communism at bay and keeping the interests of the USA and UK protected. Lenin and the Stalin were demonized. After mid 30's (sensibly) the tune changed: Hitler and Mussolini were the guys to keep at bay and Stalin was the guy that was doing a hard and good job at keeping those two lunatics at bay.

A few interesting facts:

The American embassy had this to say about Mussolini's regime: "effectively stifled hostile elements in restricting the right of free assembly, in abolishing freedom of the press and in having at its command a large military organization," and he was considered a moderate that kept the bolsheviks at bay.

Henry Fletcher said that the choices in Italy were "between Mussolini and Fascism and Giolitti and Socialism, between strong methods of internal peace and prosperity and a return to free speech, loose administration and general disorganization. Peace and Prosperity were preferred."

The role of US corporations in collaborating with Nazi Germany is very well known:Ford, General Motors, IBM, Du Pont and the Nazi's crimes were very well known.

U.S. investment in Germany accelerated rapidly after Hitler came to power, despite the Depression and Germany's default on virtually all of its government and commercial loans. Commerce Department reports show that U.S. investment in Germany increased some 48.5 percent between 1929 and 1940, while declining sharply everywhere else in continental Europe.

Now for Stalin's treatment during WWII:

Now you tell me what do you make of this.

I almost forgot this: After Pearl Harbor something like 100000 Japanese-American were forcefully moved into what were little more that concentration camps. Their crimes: being from Japanese ancestry. This is how the USA government treated their own citizens. How do you think they treated people directly related to the Axis Powers?
Ps: Later on Reagan kinda made things up.

Could the forum moderator please come forward, your soup is ready!!!!!

Idiots
