Conspiracies: Are they real?
I sort of agree that it is unhealthy. Sure, Rommel and Manstein were great generals who commanded the most technologicly advanced army of the time etc. but they were still ultimately fighting for the most heinious regime weve seen in the past 500 years. And its perverse to glorify war in any form. I suppose its the old "duality of man" thingie, again.. Well, that would somewhat defeat any historical value, I think :D Lucius> regarding the Waffen-SS, some units of some of the Panzer divisions were definently crack troops(such as the 101st "Schwere" tank group os the 1st division) but there were many units who lacked both proper equipment aswellas training. The many volunteer or foreign divisions are good examples. So the Waffen-SS contained both the best and the worst units of the wehrmacht. The political fanatiscism is also questionable because many joined simply because the WSS offered more opportunities for officers(as it was a fresh organisation without the rigid traditions of the Heer) and its "elite reputation, and the fact that a soldier in the WSS was virtually always better fed and equipped than a regular soldier.

No, theyre different people. The one who knifes that guy is a Waffen-SS soldier while the other one is Heer(regular army). Steamboat willie is played by J

X-Men 3 being systematically destroyed
Yes, definently. She is supposed to be almost a hundred years old with some dubious origins(possibly Dr Dooms daughter) and mother of a whole bunch of mutants among the Rouge. oooh, Lady D vs. Mary Jane? Well, I think spiderman has more readers Its looking dark for the lady with ze big boobies.

Id rather have a clothed badass mofo Mystique than a naked but wimpy and lizardskinned one.

X-Men 3 being systematically destroyed
I think the Xmen movies took a wrong turn and ended up in the dump as soon as they decided for that f*cked up look for Mystique Shes my fav character and they turned her into some weird lizard-woman with about 2 lines of spoken dialouge through both films <_< Her old school skull-dress withlong foxy red hair she was really hawt for a while when they made her skin grayish instead of blue and changed the cutting of her dress. Her own spin-off comic was totally sweet and awesome, but the bastard closed it

Happy Birthday USA
It's trendy these days. Yes, that is correct. It has absolutely nothing to do with the way the goverments have repeatedly "misbehaved" towards other countries dating back to pre-WW2 days. Personally, I think we should just ignore it and focus on all the positive things the US has given us instead Like American Idol or Cheese-filled pizza crusts. "

Conspiracies: Are they real?
Well, its not a nazi uniform, it a tank crewmans service uniform of the kind they would actually wear in the tanks. Its not black because they thought it looked cool, it was to hide the oil stains. And it is regular army too, not Waffen-SS. And the skulls have a symbol of the armour korps since WW1, and they look different than the SS Totenkopf but that dioesnt really show in the photo. I really understand how it'll seem to someone who hasnt watched far to much history night on Discovery and knows Rommels first name. But for me its just military history, much like if Id bought a reproduction Karolin weapons coast from the days old Charlie XII. And swastikas are illegal to wear in public in Sweden, so Im looking for a way to cover it up that doesnt mean damaging it so it wont be historicly accurate. Maybe putting a "No nazis" pin over it? I really hate neo-nazis btw :angry: Ive been in quite a few confrontations with them and theyre probably the most despicable people you can find short of rapists and child molesters.

Conspiracies: Are they real?
I cant imagine anyone would do anything more than make a few jerry-jokes. We had a kraut exchange student at school but we mocked him because he was an a s s not because of his crazy grandpappies. btw, I got that tank crew jacket today I havent had time to sew on the insignia yet, Im thinking about a clever way to hide the swastika on the breast eagle without ruining the authenticity.

Craving a Post-Apocalyptic setting RPG
What do you mean "never really"?! I seem to recall a little gem called Wastelands by Lancelot Games.. or was that only in Swedish? Perhaps it was. I know J.E Saywer has a variant of SPECIAL for PnP somewhere. Ive looked at it but never played it. And I know MCA played many parts of both Fallouts as PnP with his friends, I have no idea what ruleset he used though.

Obsidian Forums Diplomacy Game 1 (OBS-1)
Germany suffers prolonged heatspell by Bertha Edelweiss, Stuttgart The recent heatspell which has plagued Germany for the last three days continues without hope of cooling down. Emperor Barlast has been forced to keep diplomatic contacts to a minimum as he has been recommended by his phyiscians to spend his days in the cool darkness of the cellar of the Brandenburg ice cream factory. Reports state that he finds a kind of icicle of Swedish origin named "Piggelin" to be most refreshing and helpful in maintaining sound fluids. The common man has to recide to simpler solutions "I sleep in a bathtub filled with crushed ice" says Polish athlete Gottfried Lebowski "I made a snorkle out of my sons schult

AMD vs Intel
It is a real problem. 80% of people in Sweden buy package computers, usually via their employer and they are nearly always Intel based. My dad took such an offer and you could get AMD... if you paid extra <_< Intel are pulling some serious shennanigans and we cant let them get away with it.

Its also worth mentioning that the "hawks" did not give any time for other, alternative means to be planned before using force in a military invasion. It could have been done differently, but with the worlds only remaining superpower hellbent on war at any cost, it was the only outcome.

Happy Birthday USA
There is absolutely no way the US can take credit in setting of the spark of democracy in the western world. It was the days of the enlightenment where voices everywhere cried out for democracy and freedom from the tyranny of the class system and the church. And the motives of some of the people behind the "american revolution" were very far from altruistic. And the only ones to see the US as a beacon of freedom and democracy are some of its own citizens. And what do you mean by?

Happy Birthday USA
Being a cynical bastard I would say that above statement is the pure effect of the Straussian notion of "necessary illusions to uphold a sense of national pride and purpouse" and " to propagate myths necessary to give ordinary people meaning and purpose as to ensure a stable society". In reality, the US is no more a bastion of freedom than any other democratic country like Canada or France or Finland.
