EScurlock Posted August 27, 2000 Share Posted August 27, 2000 Not only am I interested in the military history, but I'm in the military. I find WWII fascinating for many reasons, but it all boils down to my tremendous fascination with the hights and depths the human spirit can go through. Nothing pushes the human spirit to extreams like war does. Now as far as my enthralment in CM is concerned: I just like to blow-up and break things. This message has been edited for no better reason than becouse some people just might not get it. I'm going to bed. Cheers ------------------ He who gets there the fastest with the mostest wins.

By your logic, the US soldiers who participated in the Vietnam war were all evil for supporting a corrupt and murderous dictatorship. Pure crud! PS. Yeah, what does Al Gore know of being a President. He hasn't done Cocaine! Actually, his background appears to be fiarly conservative rather than liberal. As a conservative individual who over generalizes and modifies history to justify his own bruital ancestoral history and to give reason for his hatred of people different from himself.

Bastables Posted August 27, 2000 Share Posted August 27, 2000 <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Ghengis Jim: Dr. Brian, in looking at your posts, I cannot help but notice your utter insolence. Maybe you have not noticed my name yet: the "Ghengis", although spelled wrong, represents my admiration of the warlord who was one of the most oppressive and intolerable leader of all time. By no means am I saying that I love raping, pillaging, and plundering things. For some reason I think that I just like Mr. Kahn. I have yet to figure out this reason. Anyway, my point is not only pointing out your tunnel vision (in picking out a RACE of people and hating them), but also your tunnel vision in picking out the German people as your sole area of attack. I personally have admired the German people because for one, I am part German. Ironically, I am getting persecuted because of that. Also, the German people, as a nation, are extremely bright people. Where do the world's best engineers and physicists come from? You got it, Germany! Because of my analytical nature, I admire this style of living which stresses effeciency and science over flexibility and liberal arts. Anyway Dr. Brian, I would imagine that you are some crappy liberal arts teacher at some worthless liberal arts college who likes to say (or generalize) that everyone who generalizes is a horrible person. (Notice the oxy-moronic nature of that statement.)

GonzoAttacker Posted August 27, 2000 Share Posted August 27, 2000 I am only interested in history, military and otherwise. Yes, the event wiped out generations, was the event worth the fight for liberty? Is not History filled with such horrors. Yes, War is not pretty, I hope I am not around for the next big one. Maybe the question should be, are we mature enough to remember, and commit to never let happen again? Only time will tell, or should I say Will history repeat itself once more?

Purple4Ever Posted August 27, 2000 Share Posted August 27, 2000 Wow....I've read the other threads started by Dr. Brian (and the ensuing flamewars) and now this one... Wow... I find it very offensive to have others tell me what is important to me. In my experience, there have been three types of people who instigate these situations: 1). Religious nuts 2). Political nuts 3). nuts There are obviously some people with an agenda and a need to force that agenda/belief on others.... These types of people used to come to my door on an otherwise peaceful and/or enjoyable Saturday (or Sunday) morning - they finally got the message when I slammed the door in their face for the tenth time. In reading all of the threads/posts I came up with some questions/comments for Dr. Brian: 1). If this were not a forum for a WII-related game, would you have put the same information in your profile. Or more precisely, if this were a Italian cooking forum, would you have put "Teaching the world that something liek Nazi Germany should never happen again."? If the answer is no, then I would have to say that you came into this forum to stir up sh@t. 2). I thought long and hard about this next one.... I realize some may be offended and that the death of ANYONE, especially a relative is nothing to make light of... but upon reading certain items in the other threads, it struck me how ridiculous they were. Here goes - Dr. Brian: My father was murdered by someone named Brian. Therefore your 'tag' offends me. I do not understand how you could be so callous and insensitive to pick that handle. Yes boys and girls - the moral of the story is that anyone can/will be offended by anything - the only difference being that there are people who take this to an extreme. To them, their personal slights are a cause to be taken up and rammed down everybody's throats (to them, of course, they are 'enlightening people'). Take your crusades, and keep them to yourself. Believe it or not, not everyone CARES about the same things you do, or are as sensitive as you. In an international forum such as this, please leave your USA-centric sensitivities at the door. Now, time to get off my soapbox and have a Spaten (yes - it's a GERMAN beer). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pzvg Posted August 28, 2000 Share Posted August 28, 2000 I play wargames because nowadays ammo is too exspensive and causes are way too cheap. I think there is alltogether too much sh@tstirring going on here, and Doc don't refer me to your "I'm sorry but it's your fault post" I'm not buying, you came in here looking for trouble, and like the loudmouth drunk in the bar, now that you found it you're out crying in the parking lot.

Guest goonch Posted August 28, 2000 Share Posted August 28, 2000 Hey, I am of Ukrainian descent. Both parents actually. I am also a Christian(not that it matters). During WW2 I lost relatives in concentration camps(on my father's side). My wife's father faught for UPA(Ukrainian Partisan Army). My grandmother was put up against a firing squad by a Polish infantry squad for aiding the partisans(only to be spared at the last minute by the commanding officer who smacked the shooters hand at the last second. WHO THE F**K CARES!!!! I am happy as long as my Hamster doesn't look at my dogs(a f*****g German Shepherd) ass in that funny kind of way. ------------------ leave the gun, take the canolies.

Von Brizee Posted August 30, 2000 Share Posted August 30, 2000 lol crumply. Would it please you if no one played as the Germans? You could do a PBEM game, and one player could be Allies, and the other would be the map. "Haha! Watch as my rain makes your men wet and cold!" What the hell do you really want? It is a GAME. EVERY side was guilty of atrocities, so maybe no side should be played or modeled. Like I said before, I am awaiting funding on my Nutrition Mission simulation, and would greatly appreciate any contributions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
