      @Zooey72:

      Maybe,

      But in the liberal version terrorism is defeated by hugs, rainbows, and of course - puppies.

      American Idol has nothing to do with liberals, and hopefully nothing to do with politics.  IT is pure evil.

      @frimmel:

      @Jermofoot:

      This is a problem concerning looking back on history.  What you know of Hitler (primarily killing millions of people and starting a war) can be attributed to him from when he was conceived until his death.  You look upon him with that lens always on.  That’s probably why you were turned off when this individual said that Hitler’s book (not killing millions of people) was a different POV, by association.

      That is an excellent point. Our looks back tend to be colored by our present preferences. They can interfere with objectivity.

      Hitler is one of the most important figures of the last century. Reading the autobiographys and biographys of important people has always been considered part of being literate.

      satan is an important person but i prefer to read the Bible and not his book. your freind didn’t want to offend you and tried to sound nice even though he thought you were a whacko nazi.

      Yes its on my top 5 movie list post!

      This was broadcast on Soviet television in the late 70’s and the effort spared no expense for extras because they used actual Soviet soldiers and the budget was basically unlimited. The portrayal all the Germans and Soviets is extremely good. The sets are very realistic and the battles consist of perhaps 10,000 or more soldiers, plus hundreds of tanks ( the germans are mostly tiger 1’s and some decent mockups of elephant and panther).

      all the battlefield combat scenes are panoramic which is IMO the only way to film a war movie. You can literally see the 10,000 soldiers.

      5 movies were presented

      Stalingrad ( 2 parts)
      Kursk
      Operation Bagration
      Assault of Berlin

      however no english subtitles of this exist. My girlfriend has to translate for me ( shes from Odessa). You wont find any copies of this with english either. I have tried for many years to do this but to no avail. I own all these movies and they are amoung my favorite of all time.

      It will cost you at least 100 bucks for the set of movies, unless you rent them from a russian video store and make copies.

      S

      Check with your local parts store.  If they don’t have the shop manuel for your vehicle, they can order it for you.  It’s usually less than $20 and is invaluable for do-it-yourself projects.  It comes complete with pictures :-D  The shop manuel is entirely different than the booklet that comes with the car.  Shop manuels will tell you (and show you) how to do everything from change the air filter to replacing a piston.  It’s a good investment anytime you buy a vehicle.  I even have the shop manuels for my motorcycles. :wink:

      Psst…you need an electrician, not a mechanic (well, maybe you do…).

      Check your fuses for the correct rating.  That would be the easiest to fix problem.

      Also, with electrical circuitry, if one thing goes bad (or starts to go), it can destroy other parts in the circuitry.  Check around and make sure everything else is ok.  A multimeter could help if you can get in to the guts of it.  It’s possible that the solenoid was defective, but I wouldn’t run out to replace it immediately.

      sounds kind of like this story:

      BENTONVILLE, Ark. - For 40 exhausting minutes, Wayne Goldsberry battled a buck with his bare hands in his daughter’s bedroom.

      Goldsberry finally subdued the five-point whitetail deer that crashed through a bedroom window at his daughter’s home Friday. When it was over, blood splattered the walls and the deer lay dead on the bedroom floor, its neck broken.

      Goldsberry was at his daughter’s home when he heard glass breaking. He went back to check on the noise and found the deer.

      “I was standing about like this peeking around the corner when the deer came out of the bedroom,” said Goldsberry. The deer ran down the hall and into the master bedroom — “jumping back and forth across the bed.”

      Goldsberry, about 6-feet-1 and 200 pounds, entered the bedroom to confront the deer and, after a brief struggle, emerged to tell his wife to call police. After returning to the bedroom, the fight continued. Goldsberry finally was able to grip the animal and twist its neck, killing it.

      Goldsberry, sore from the struggle, dragged the dead animal out of the house.

      “He got kicked several times. He was walking bowlegged for a while,” Deputy Doug Gay said.

      At this time of year, a buck that sees its reflection in a window often charges, believing it is fighting off a rival, Gay said.

      Goldsberry had the deer butchered.

      “He’s in the freezer,” the man said before walking to the kitchen and showing off pounds of freshly wrapped venison.

      Better to use the Stirling engines like we swedes are using, in the Gotland a class submarines…

      The submarine Gotland has been 1 year in san diego training with your navy.  And you have had enormous trouble finding it.

      On several occasion it has been able to take photos of yoour carriers at lose range during exercise, witch would mean you had lost it in a real situation…

      It sounds awesome.  I’ll try and check it out and give it a go sometime.  I’d still like to get into Hearts of Iron more, but like I said, it takes a while to complete something.  The farthest I got was playing as Spain and basically carving France in half with Germany.  And we were just getting into 1940…

      That is why they are impressed with NASCAR.  :mrgreen:

      No.  Basically, the city USED to pay for the service.  Now the citizens pay for the service.  However, the taxes we paid that were dedicated for that service were never returned to us - and we still pay them to this date.  Thus, our tax on garbage collection basically doubled so that both the waste management service AND the village make the profit leaving the citizens in the lurch.

      That’s what I was trying to describe.

      Oh yea, but hey, Mayor Daley got a new house and his daughter has this cute little barbie doll car, life size too!  Guess our tax dollars are still good for something, right??  (Best part is, I don’t even get to vote for Daley since he’s city proper, but I’m a burb….gotta love taxation without representation!)

      Did you know that the Earth’s average distance from the Sun(maybe not to the km, but) is equal to 500 light-seconds.

      Speed of light 186,000 miles per second.
      Earth’s average distance is 93,000,000 million miles from the sun.

      93m miles divided by 186t seconds = 500 light-seconds

      Nazi intrusions / restrictions on his business opened Oscars eyes a bit more to the Nazi atrocities against the Jews.

      He still managed, and he knew he had to keep a friendly face forward so the Army would keep buying his cookware.  But he finally saw enough and was in the end became human.  Keeping his workers alive amid his dwindling resources was his way of taking it to “Der Herr”.

      When my father was in his early 20s he enlisted into the Army during Vietnam.  He had a college degree, and the powers that be wanted him to become an officer but he declined preffering to go at it as a grunt.  He was newly married, and I had just been born when he made this decision.  He left shortly after and served his country for a year and was honorably discharged.

      Sounds nice doesn’t it?  Ok, SPIN OFF

      My father had no intrest in the military whatsoever, esp with the war going on.  He was contacted a lot by a recruiter who was trying to warn him that if he did not enlist he would be drafted eventualy.  My father would not join, and he was drafted.  On the day he got his draft notice he went to the recruiter begging him to let him enlist, because the recruiter said if he did enlist… he would not have to go to Vietnam.  The recruiter, knowing his situation being newly married and having a infant son “fudged” the date of my father’s enlistment to show that he had enlisted before he was drafted.  He was stationed in Germany, hating every second of it.  The ONLY reason he decided not to become an officer is because he detested the military so much.  Becoming an officer would have entailed him being in the military longer than what he had to.

      My point to this, you can spin the hell out of this kind of thing.  Which is what I think some veterans do, not to mention any names cough cough Kerry Cough Cough (and others).

      A derail on the topic, but I feel like saying it anyway.

      My father is against the war in a big way, I’m not, and we argue about it some times.  The one argument HE can not use AT ALL is that Bush got preferential (sp?) treatment.  You can’t take the moral high ground after what happened to him.  My grandfather was not a senator, he was a janitor.

      @AgentSmith:

      Not true. At the end, Hitler blamed the German people (along with the Jews, of course) for his defeat. Some of his generals asked to surrender to spare the civilians and Hitler replied that they knew what they were getting into and had no sympathy for them. Hitler was anything but a “protector of the German people”.

      This is largely irrelevent b/c this assumes the outcome is all that matters which in of itself assumes an egocentric view of the war in favor of whose telling the history.  by this reasoning had the Germans won he would’ve been the great protector of the German people?  No this is absolutely how Hitler saw himself and that is all that matters.  If you want to dispute that then pull up some sources of Hitler blaming the people, and better yet for once explain how that would be at all relevent to the discussion at hand.  Analysis mary, analysis.  I can site blanket facts too but that doesn’t really reveal anything.

      AS - I know you are reading.  This is info for when you come back, because you will be back.  :-D

      There was an ideology. Not to mention, Hitler blamed the German people & Jews for failing him (germany) - read Cornelius Ryan’s The Final Battle.  It’s an exciting read anyway.  There’s plenty of other sources as everyone and their mother were anxious to find out the “Why?” of WW2.  I’m sure you recall Meyer’s “shocking” results.

      3 other things, in general.  Stop arguing for the sake of arguing, or to get some irelevant point in.  Don’t shootdown someone’s point due to lack of sources when you don’t supply them yourself.  Argue what they are saying, not what you think they are thinking/doing.
