Ok, I see your point. My understanding is that Hitler was on his way out, Germany was coming back and losing interest in radicals, until the 1929 cras...
Yes, the scale of the effort was breathtaking. You have to feed millions of soldiers, and keep fuel in thousands of tanks. And both keep getting ever ...
That's what I've been saying all along Street. You don't care what happens next. Nor are you obligated to. Just dents your credibility on the topic, t...
How so? They started WWI, and paid a big price. And then they started WWII, and paid an even bigger price. They voted Hitler in to office. The made a ...
Yea, good point. But once all your tanks and factories have been destroyed, the will no longer matters. I still think German victory was within reach,...
As has been explained now multiple times, the logical outcome of your plan is a Palestinian state funded and armed by outside psychopaths which will e...
Yes, good question, why do I keep reading your lazy quips. Honestly, no kidding, what is wrong with me? I don't have a good answer for you. Whatever t...
Who cares about justified? Who cares about majority opinion? You have no understanding of the Middle East. Many or most Palestinians may very well acc...
To sum up my own comments, I'm saying that you shoving your finger in Israelis eyes and yelling that they are warmongers from a position of fantasy mo...
There really was no surprise, everybody knew the Germans were about to invade Russia, except apparently Stalin. Yes, the key all along was a quick kno...
One can speculate how victory for Germany in WWII might have been accomplished. Instead of invading France and attacking England Hitler might have don...
I personally have a strong bond with a piece of land, so I can get that. If that land were to be lost, that would indeed be a blow to me. But that lan...
Thank you, I'm rather talented at going wildly off topic, as has already been confirmed by leading local authorities. Ok, no problem. Well, the way to...
It's reasonable to complain about Hamas because if they were to achieve their goals they would most likely dominate all of Palestine in the same way A...
Agreed, but isn't Hong Kong a lost cause, and hasn't it always been so? Why do people think that a single city is going to be able to resist or reform...
Well, they are the biggest country in the world. As example, after WWII America and Russia replaced Europeans powers at the top of the geo-political h...
Maybe we could stand back a bit. Imho... A key problem is that pretty much all the cable news networks, liberal and conservative, are owned by major c...
Imho... All these perspectives are rooted in faith, so any perceived difference is an illusion, or at least a substantial exaggeration. Faith is the h...
No, I really don't think so. It's more like the kind of social studies history lesson you might have seen in high school. I don't detect any agenda. B...
Another way to look at it.... What if my assumption that members of the referenced thread were smart enough and strong enough to handle the investigat...
Yes, I have an opinion, a shocking development on a philosophy forum. :-) I provided ample evidence to support that opinion. Neither you nor the discu...
Yes, I do get that it is not likely to be received well. Surely that's what the evidence demonstrates. Again, being unpopular is just a routine part o...
Yes, the vast majority of sites that have anything to do with ideas are tribal sites. People of like mind gather to validate their own perspective. It...
Yes, the word troll has come to mean whatever a speaker wishes it to mean. That happens in language I guess, some words become placeholders for an inf...
The WWII story is a horror show too, so it's not for everybody... The German Army would race forward, typically crushing anything standing in their wa...
There's truth in that. But I've been a WWII nut since childhood. In the fifties WWII was still very much a part of the cultural landscape. It's just a...
Yes, the film goes on forever, just as the war did. Each daily segment is not a day long though. :-) Usually maybe five to ten minutes, depending on w...
What's all the hostility about? So I had a theory. And you don't agree. What's new about that? I'm cool with you not agreeing. Why can't you be as wel...
I believe that might be Stalin. Not that there's a huge difference between the two. If I recall correctly, Stalin was one of Saddam's heroes. I though...
I agree that the evidence also reveals that I'm no more interested in innocents in the Middle East than the other posters I've referenced, and already...
I didn't say they were trolls. I said they were confused about their relationship with the topic. I do believe they sincerely think they are concerned...
Ok, then I'm a pretentious wanker. I accept the award, and would like to thank my mom and the academy. :-) I'm not a mind reader. I examined the evide...
Perhaps it would help to further define the word troll? I don't claim to own the word, but this has always been my understanding. A troll is someone w...
Ok, so this is an honest clear statement, and I do agree that this is part of your writing style as well. So thanks for that. I will return to my own ...
Ah, ok, thank you for the clarification. As for the rest of the site, I do hear what you're saying. The topic has to be defined somehow, and the OP is...
It's been reported that a particularly offensive well known political figure eats tons of Kentucky Fried Chicken. It's my wishful thinking prediction ...
What is the topic? Seriously. Not a point, a question. Honestly, I see about a million topics. Which one is the officially sanctioned topic? I don't c...
Look, just saying, it's hard for the mod team to retain credibility when at least some of them routinely engage in food fight behavior. You yourself h...
Unless they are mods. So long as you can find a seat at the cool kids table in the high school cafeteria, you can do pretty much whatever you want. Ot...
It's true there has been some debate about what the real topic of this thread is. I mean no harm, just trying to rescue the thread from fantasy. Obvio...
