He has a point, mate. It's not an either\or thing. There's a social side to the site that's important too. That's why the site has mods and rules specifically governing the community.xroads wrote:yes you would think this is a social media site instead of a gaming site.

You do realize that's my avatar.Or maybe you have never seen my name or avatar,and are just going on hear say. 
.....MAYBE THAT FOEING IS PAYING OFF AFTER ALL. 
Some were never convicted of anything.Some were killed in battle....Their strategies are taught through out MILITARY ACADEMIES around the world. You should send them letters,of said war crimes they might not know yet. Although Van Manstein after serving his war crime sentence.Went on to lead NATO'S defense...They sought him out after his Mobile Defense strategy against the Russians later in WW2...WHAT about Vernor Von Braun?...I know, he was a Nazi ,that would lead NASA...I know,it's O.K...Because it benefited the US. 
By your medals,it looks like you need help to win one. ...Maybe if you looked at one's strategies ,instead of one's countries politics. You might find yourself on the battlefield more.Win on your own. 
...History is full of great strategists.You have to look past the Blah!Blah!Blah,to truly find hidden gems of greatness...YOU SHOULD LEARN MORE.YOU SHOULD LEARN MORE.YOU SHOULD LEARN MORE.YOU SHOULD LEARN MORE.SOUND FAMILIAR.

Despising him and his views, and indeed people who dismiss them, isn't a matter of strategy, it's a matter of common decency.Erich von Manstein wrote:Jewish Bolshevik system must be wiped out once and for all and should never again be allowed to invade our European living space ... It is the same Jewish class of beings who have done so much damage to our own Fatherland by virtue of their activities against the nation and civilisation, and who promote anti-German tendencies throughout the world, and who will be the harbingers of revenge. Their extermination is a dictate of our own survival.
I'm not sure that right wing white supremacy is not a connection mate. ConderateSS certainly made the leap.Xaraan wrote:It's the internet dude. people will name themselves "MOD EDIT" just to get attention. since there was never any connection between the confederacy and the SS i'd say it's some bullshit like that.

symmetry flag on the his wall Shows U.K. Not The U.S.A.

I think they were confusing it with the Confederate "stainless banner", which in turn gets confused with the stars and bars. But yeah, much confusion.

I always liked the story about when Tonly Blair spoke before Congress and he said he was shown the ruins of the old capital building that the British burned to the ground.He said"Sorry about that by the way" The congress laughed.Yes I do realize the Brits did that in retaliation to U.S.settlers burning settlements.
anti monarchy is referring to the war for independence,making a joke really.The Brits have been responsible for quit a few holidays in other country's,if you know what I mean. This is not unique to the U.K. relationship with the U.S. It seems to me that even with a brutal war the country's that received their independence still have a loyalty to the country they fought against to get it.I may be wrong but Algeria and France comes to mind as well.You said accent.I am thinking of media now which is the only way I hear these accents so do you sound more like Scotland Sean Connery,Craig Ferguson? Michael Caine, cockney accent I believe?Patrick Stewart's accent I don't know what that's called but I feel less than educated when I listen to himSymmetry wrote:I think they were confusing it with the Confederate "stainless banner", which in turn gets confused with the stars and bars.

Odd though- I've always found Americans much more interested in the monarchy than Brits. Last time I was over there, complete strangers wanted to talk about Prince George when they heard my accent.
? Irish accent? and lastly is the accent different between Northern Ireland and the rest Ireland?Bill Bryson's Mother Tongue is a great intro to British accents if you're interested. I'm English, and from the south, and I've lived in a couple of other countries- Japan and the US. My accent is kind of a flat RP. Probably closest to Patrick Stewart on your list.ooge wrote:anti monarchy is referring to the war for independence,making a joke really.The Brits have been responsible for quit a few holidays in other country's,if you know what I mean.

Aye, it's a flag for a nation whose cornerstone was slavery.

The State legislators may on one hand make decisions about that flag.But the treatment of the current U.S. president as well as the presidential front runner for a certain party leads me to believe racism is alive and well in the U.S.A. Supreme court rules against the civil rights voting act and one of the arguments they gave is racism isn't a problem anymore,I didn't know whether to laugh or cry at that statement.Symmetry wrote:Aye, it's a flag for a nation whose cornerstone was slavery.

The issue of the flag is I think one of symbolic importance.
