I don't think Hitler is a good guy at all. But propaganda from different time periods is interesting to look at and see what captured an entire nation by storm.

Please do not try to twist my words or beliefs. I ****ing hate imbeciles who try that.

So why don't you think Communist propaganda from a different time period is " interesting to look at and see what captured an entire nation by storm"?

quote: Originally posted by mrmitchell It would probably be worse than that. While I'm sure my thinking could never make its way to the White House, or even DC, here's something to ponder: Why should the US ever launch a retaliatory nuke strike? Nukes are wrong, and the US is all about being right. And two wrongs--the first strike and the retaliation strike--don't make a right. We shouldn't lower ourselves to our attackers' level...if they survive because we didn't strike back, then so what? We retained moral superiority, and they now have a broken, twisted world to inherit.

I think I have to agree.

Oh it is. I just see a lot of glorification of Lenin and Stalin around here. I do not go around posting faces of Hitler. My avatar is just propaganda.

What I find instructive about the story is that it underscores the fact that the Soviet Union was fighting alone against most of the world. The US, Britain, France and China -- all the other nuclear powers fought against the USSR.

So, I get banned for posting a (rather good IMHO) piccy of Fez as Hitler and he complains bitterly that he wants nothing to do with Nazis and I am evil for suggesting it.

Then he decides to engage in Nazi chic with that avatar.

What a phony.

You got banned for being a jerk about something and not deleting it because I do not wish to kill jews. Jews are good people. I am just recognizing rather unique and interesting propaganda from a period of horror. You engage in a smear campaign to depict me as a nazi, when I clearly am not one. You are the phony.

And none of those nuclear powers had numbers of warheads approaching even a small fraction of either the USSR or the USA.

So the best way to express one's admiration for Jews is a Waffen SS avatar.

Would any of Apolyton's Jews like to comment?

Fez, speaking as a guy whose Great-Grandparents knew hen to get the Hell out of Dodge, I'll tell you that that avatar is offensive. The Communist Avatar's are ofensive too, but the closest one I've seen to be memorializing a mass Murderer is Oswald's "Mario-Stalin", which is more silly than sincere.
