No one cares about your tired, imagined family debts.

Try living your own life, comrade.

It might give you a new perspective, quite divorced from the ghosts of your past.

So? My great uncle Tommy died at Dunkirk. My grandfather Peter was shot down over Malaya and survived months in the jungle escaping the Japs.

Can you tell me why I should agree to the extermination of millions of modern Germans?

After all, a German is worth alot more to the earth than a Russian anyway, everyone knows that.

Guess who?

And I visit the graves of my family who died during WWII in Normandy. Your grandfather, my great Uncles.... there is no point in holding today's Germany responsible for yesterdays mistakes.

Get the fuck over it. Russia would be a far better country if you dudes didn't drink so much and whine so much.

"On my signal, unleash hell"

You are a nazi, it's pointless to talk with you...

Germans is the most evil nation on the Earths, the started ALL World Wars, and countless local wars in Europe...
They destroyed Rome, thereby started Dark Age.

Two parts of the Russian soul:

A. We were wronged!
B. Fuck you! We were wronged!

Oh, the third part:

C. Fuck you, Jew, we were wronged!

Oh crap! I agree with you. I suspect that is going to worry you as much as it does me.

Im not a Nazi. Im British. Being unfussy and open minded we generally kill everyone, or engineer their deaths from afar, whatever is easiest.

Can you give any reason why anyone should have your opinion and not mine?

After all, surely we can all agree that Russians are simply foul smelling drink sodden men of low character and lower intellect who are mostly better off in long and deep mass graves. They breed too much and live in squalor, its been so for centuries.
You can see the sense in this cant you?

Nah.

I have relatives who died (and survived) on the western front, both pre and post D-Day.

I lived in Moscow for a time, back in the early 90's, with a woman who would later become my ex-wife, in the NGU (or, rather, one of them).

Russians are like us. Genuinely good people.

Just don't let the fucking juice go down their necks.

Jesus Hockey Stick on a Bus to Mexico City Christ, do NOT give them booze.

Using your own logic, the deaths of millions of Americans at the hands of the Native Americans, Japanese at the hands of the Chinese, arabs at the hands of Jews, would all have been perfectly reasonable actions at least at some point in the past?

Yes, they drink vodka straight in large quantities. Youd think their tolerance would have increased over time, but no...they still all end up shitting their pants after the second bottle.

But it being the national drink it is never blamed for their woes, just foreigners etc etc.

I've met a few. Been to Russia. I found them to be much like anyone else but I agree with you on the booze thing.

It is hardly uncommon for people to have had relatives who died in WWII. Just most of us don't use it as an excuse to hate a nation.

If I had to pick a team, I'd have Germans on my side rather than the Russians any day and twice on Sundays. At least the Germans can (occasionally) stay sober!

War is an unfortunate fact of life but at some point, the hate must stop and the healing must begin. Sometimes that begins with the next generation, sometimes several generations later. If you'll look at the Vietnamese, you'll find that often the older South Vietnamese cling to the hatred for the North Vietnamese while the younger generation that didn't experience the war, has no hate because they've grown up in a united country.
Many good people died in WWII but it's time to move on and let the hatred that starts wars die, too.

Yup.

My family has an ancient and well-maintained Scots heritage. The Hebrides and MacLeods on one side. Clan Sinclair on the other.

We have, AFAIK, two distilleries in the fam. Hell, I've played the pipes since I was 16.

But I hate whisky, I don't like drinking and when it comes to posting rationally, I don't trust juicehounds.

Or Russians.

Meh, same dance.

Calling others - even Choco who I disagree with pretty much consistently - Nazis makes you look pretty damned stupid.

If you won't deny it, then I will conclude that using your own likely definition, you are quite the nazi yourself.
