We are all good Tovarisch! CC- I was not calling you a communist
BTW and if that came across in anything I wrote, please
accept my apologies- thanks for the kind words from all.
as an addendum to what i posted already, im not calling you a commie either, its just that the post you had that i was responding to came across as a little pro-commie, and i was giving you a friendly warning :wink:
Some comments:
… the US does go in and bomb the hell out of every1, but then it rebuilds them, and they become better than they were (Germany, Japan).
@ “better than they were”. Well, surely better than “right after the war” or “during late of the war”…. and i don’t think you like our pacificism of the moment as “better”.
@El:
…As for who started it(approximately in chronological order)…
The guy who picked up the first rock started it…
Some have been left out, but the point is…
well, nobody started itand
they didn’t have to respond
the way they chose to respond.
One important guy you forgot: The first guy who fenced in an area, sat himself in the middle and said “this is mine”.
For the “didn’t have to respond the way”… well, that is something that applies to every nation. But still, you can have a different opinion wether the decision was smart or not. When it comes to the US, i more often fell the “not” than the “smart”.
Whether North Vietnam was a democracy or not is irrelevant. You cannot force a democracy upon people who do not wish to have it and who do not respect it. It will simplycollapse and turn into a dictatorship. Democracy is something that has to evolve over time in societies.
@cystic:
i mean really - i’ve never defended communism in any of these fora - F_alk will tell you that.
My point is simply that America takes on communism as the evil that must be attacked at all costs lest it overtake America. For me this is the biggest joke. All the world should thank America for defending it against this “evil”? America has not done many favors defending countries (particularly in central and south America) from socialism and communism.
I second these two.
Janus… Jp was already bottled up by the time Hiroshima happened… in fact the to brass said they would have surrendered by dec. 1945… we rebuilt them, but only after we killed half of them

Until you give away all your possessions, including your house, and you go live in the forest, shut up Falk.

Better, as in economies rivaling the US (which like it or not is a “superpower”)
And in the case of Germany, better than they were before the war as well (after WWI they were pathetic until Hitler, and unless you like fascism ( :wink: Mike) they were still not good at that time either)

yes…
… the US does go in and bomb the hell out of every1, but then it rebuilds them, and they become better than they were (Germany, Japan).
like I said.
@Guerrilla:

Name your source. Methinks you exaggerate a mite.
Do I hear some who like to play the Politically Correct version of “King of the Hill?” The new version is titled “We are All Equal. It’s just Some of Us are More Equal.” :roll:
nice El Jefe
… the US does go in and bomb the hell out of every1, but then it rebuilds them, and they become better than they were (Germany, Japan).
like I said.
You really quote yourself and then agree with yourself?
Boy, don’t do drugs, they can lead to split personalities !
Why don’t you follow all your smart and wise advice you give to me yourself?
a mistake on my part Falk. Excuse me, o wise and powerful leader, for having offended you. Go back and read GG’s post about Hiroshima, thats what I was responding to.

Nah, they’re all sweet and lovable like tribbles.
Waaaaait a minute!
@El:

Are you suggesting that all Germans have tribbles, that tribbles come from Germany, or that all Germans are trekkies? :-?
Tribbles are cute, furry, and make sweet noises, and multiply like hell….
i don’t think they are german. … :)

GI, note the term like in the quote.
They also become very aggitated around Klingons.(Heh-heh!)
Take that as you will.
GI< note the term like in the quote.
I did note the term “like”; it was the phrase “Waaaait a minute” that confused me. :P
None of the above.
I was suggesting that Germans are
soft, cuddly and lovable, but then I…
Well, you know. :roll:
Anyways, with US ‘ruling the world,’ I really don’t see the world much as it is in chaos. There are hot spots near and far in the world that are chaotic, but most of the world seems to be pretty stable… (meaning you don’t see wars sprouting up every year, mass crime or looting, or every government being uprooted now and then).

Ah, all that stuff is good for countries. Builds character in them. :P

Now, that’s character. Bad character, but character nonetheless.
