why did the germans go on fighting??
just a curious question, is there any clear reason why the Germans kept on fighting when all was lost??
it was suicide while they could probably get a peace agreement...
did they do it because Hitler said so?? were they that loyal?? answers please...

You can send me a PM if you're afraid of the PC Police. Or preface your post with a '*' if you don't want me to respond/argue to you. Not looking for debate really, just trying to get a better understanding.

I hate muslims because they have the original copy of thier holy book. damn their ability to actually check for themselves what is told to them!
They should just burn it so they can re-write it 5 million different ways, like the christians.

Tolstoy, Sicarius:

STFU

And Tolstoy--

At least when I post pretentious threads, I don't open the door for a hate-fest towards an entire group of millions of people worldwide.

That is all.

I hate muslins because the garments just don't stand up very well. Granted, they'remeant as inexpensive templates for higher quality garments, but I tend to be pretty rough on my clothes. I also live in a cold climate and muslin clothing just won't cut it out here.
Sicarius (673 D)
21 Oct 11 UTC
I dont recall having any jewish conspiracy theories. I really dont know wtf you are talking about, I have never even heard the term 'jews of khazar".
do you possibly have me confused with someone else?
stratagos (3269 D(S))
21 Oct 11 UTC
Oh, wait, you're talking religion. Never mind.
I guess I misunderstood the claim "Most jews arn't even semitic" I don't understand how you think that is the case if you don;t believe in the aforesaid conspiracy theory. But whatever.

What was the point of this thread?
Sicarius (673 D)
21 Oct 11 UTC
yeah idk, I've never heard of that before. I was referring to the huge conversion (in the 1800's maybe? I will admit this is a subject I dont know too much about) of white europeans. I mean at this point what % of jewish people do you think could trace their family tree back to Palestine/israel? It was really just an off hand comment, because palestinians are semitic peoples, yet they are constantly called anti-semitic. see what I mean?

Seriously though, can we stop it with the incessant "conspiracy theorist" name calling? the word doesnt even mean anything anymore, its like telling someone 'your face is stupid' and expect them to recognize it as an actual argument.

If it wasn't for the Muslims, Christians would not be where they are today. Most of the "enlightened" Middle-Ages (the birth of Scholasticism with Augustine and St-Thomas, for example) and of the wonders of Renaissance is due to them in one way or another.
Tolstoy (1962 D)
21 Oct 11 UTC
Nel, a few people have made posts recently in other threads that have been very blatantly anti-Muslim. I'm just trying to understand where the deep hatred of Muslims comes from. Curiously, while a few of the inspirations for this thread have chimed in, none have bothered to answer my query.

"What the hell is this? Imagine it saying jews instead of muslims you'd probably get nuked or something.."

Indeed.

@ tolstoy

dude the answer is plain as day. Fear mongering. The media. The government needing an enemy. Ten years ago average americans didnt know much more about muslims than sikhs or followers of shinto.

Cachimbo (1181 D)

@ Sic:

I'm certainly "wrong" in the sense that you can never boil down the causes of a historical movement to just one cause or one figure. One could always argue, for example, that the Jews could have played a similar role. Maimonides, for example, was also an important factor in these historical developments. It remains, however, that most of the Greeks' knowledge was saved by the Muslims and made accessible to Jews and other powers at the time for the Muslims have a thirst for knowledge that is in fact written in their holy book.
Sicarius (673 D)
21 Oct 11 UTC
yeah go check the Uthman Quran, its been the same for 1460 years.
I agree totally, its just someone made the same point in another thread and putin had a obi-type conniption.
when was this "huge conversion"
Sicarius (673 D)
22 Oct 11 UTC
I dont know, I just said as much. pretty much all I can say for certain is that it was in the last 300 years and located mostly in eastern europe or thereabouts. Theres even a name for it. I remember reading about it in like, 10th grade history. (thats not condescension or anything, I really do remember reading about it in 10th grade history, mr. bocian I beleive.) If you know more about it I would really prefer it if you could just share your knowledge with me so I can learn rather than turning it into a debate.
Thats a complete lie.
or you are just mistaken
and to answer your question genetic studies show there is very little difference between jews all around the world. Until the one hundred years (more like fifty years) there was very little intermarriage in the jewish community. I would expect the % that could trace directly back to Palestine Israel too be very high.
Here's a tip: Hate the religion, not the religious.

Is anti-Islam and hate the same thing?
Can't you disapprove of Islam because of the patriarchal nature of Sharia law and the lack of equal rights for women in much of the Muslim world without "hating."

Mr. Chew,

Where did you study Sharia?

Do you own a boardgame copy of Diplomacy?
As there have been some IP questions about WebDip recently, I thought it might be useful to have a survey of how many of us own a cardboard version of the game. If enough of us own the game, it might convince Big H lawyers (may they never come knocking) that WebDip is not really hurting sales of the game.

Rules question
If a fleet in Edinburgh is support holding a fleet in the Norwegian Sea, and the fleet in the Norwegian Sea is moving to Norway (to counter a possible move to norway) and the fleet in the Norwegian Sea 1) is bounced out of Norway while 2) a fleet attacks the Norwegian Sea with one other supporting unit, will the fleet in Norwegian Sea be dislodged or not? It's 2 vs. 2 in Norwegian Sea, but the fleet there has a move order, which cannot be executed.
