    I agree absolutely but I also agreed with the broadening of target selection that included villages, the country side and the mustangs opportunistic targeting when they had finished escorting the bombers. They did not know the world that was to come and Germany had that militarism custom.

    I believe the Allies (Russia???) fought largely honourable in a terrible war.

    Hating on the US has much more cool attached to it than realising that Hitler was a bad man. Particularly if you want to sound controversial but don't know what you're talking about.

    But what about the scum of society? I paid €136k in tax last year to pay for these scumbags. I earned €336k last year, why should I pay for John player blue sucking parisites?

    Germany was no more militaristic than the rest. The difference between them and the French, British etc was that their previous major excursion (WW1) was in Europe. The justification for the way the war was fought was/is the nazi regime.

    your taxes pay for 14 people to do nothingseek jobs. With unemployment rising perhaps you should be thinking about some overtime?

    First off I meant bad things in general.



    Second off can you please not call my opinion unforgivably dumb and bull****, thank you very much.

    Regards the Americans, look at what they did in Vietnam, look at the amount of Corrupt dictatorships they have supported. Look at their invadings of Afghanistan and Iraq.

    Regards WW2 exclusively. Ever heard of the Bombing of Dresden?

    The truth is often the basis unpopular opinions.

    Read Noam Chomsky's Year 501 and see that Adolf was in the penny place beside the Brutish Empire/American Empire. (Of course he had less time and space to work in!)

    What had nearly all of the countries Adolf attacked got in common?

    They were murderous imperial entities that controlled brutal, barbarous genocidal colonies across the globe at the very time he German tanks rolled over them.

    Britain, France, Germany, Holland, Belgium, Italy, Russia - spot the good guy!

    Dresden? Nagasaki? Mere details in a vast catalog of murder and massacre.

    The future dominated by China/Asia may have some unpleasantness for our conventional narrative of Western progress from medieval man to Liberal Democracy - largely if not entirely a fiction based on selection, omission and invention of "facts".

    In the non-Western future the narrative we imbibed with mother's milk will be consigned to the same trashcan full of codswallop that Mein Kampf now rests in.

    Remember where you heard it first :cool:

    Who's that? Israel? The best buddy's of America? ;)

    This is a list of US "affiliates":


    King Adbullah
    Ali Abdullah
    Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedox
    Teodoro Obiang Neguema Mbasogo
    Sultran Qaboos bin Said Al-Said
    Saddam Hussein

    Lunatics who don't give a damn about their people (except the rich of course ;)) yet the US supports them in all earnesty. I put Saddam last cos the US supported him for many years but didn't eventually.

    So think again before you post, I feel you don't have a clue what you're talking about. Attend a history class please.

    Yeah, the Americans knew how to recognise one of those when they saw it.

    I think the house hold charge is a great idea and that people who don't pay it are scum.

    I think all the people in social housing should pay the household tax. How many fúcking waivers do these nutters want!? Free healthcare, free this, fúcking waiver for that.....grow up and get a JOB.

    I think plenty of people living in social housing have jobs.

    I think plenty of people in this thread don't so much have "unpopular opinions" as "opinions that are based on bull**** and super easy to poke holes in".

    I can't for the life of me understand why Kylie's 'Can't Get You Out of My Head' was so critically and commercially acclaimed, even 11 years on. I know, I know, different strokes, but I could never stand it and would switch the radio station when it came on, yet everyone raved about how it was the best song ever.

    "critically acclaimed"? Are you reading smash hits or seventeen?

    Nope, it genuinely was at the time, hence my bemusement.

    Sure he's very good at what he does, but there are about eight nations that play rugby any good. On the other hand, Eamon Coghlan won a world title in a sport that every nation on earth contests keenly.
