The world might be on the verge of such a war right now. But who built up that fear in you, and how?

The way i see it is that we had two evils which pretty much cancelled each other out. Had there been some random twist of events, we would all be either speaking german or russian.

Besides if you look at old symbols you also have to look what they mean today and what it meant before. The cross, which was used only shortly by naziz, has a longer history. Screaming nazi at everything produces quite the opposite effect, instead of "we hate them for what they did" you get the "will you for the love of god shut the fuck up already, we are tired of hearing the same shit over and over again" response. Make no mistake that i think such things should be forgotten but i think that as a human race we are bound to make the same mistakes again only then the consequenses will be 100x bigger.

You should not worry about when someone produces a replica or uses their symbolics, you should worry when they stop because that means nobody cares and nobody remembers.

And for eastern countries, russia was the bigger evil because germans just executed people, russians took them away, placed somewhere else in the siberia where they eventually became russians thus theoretically strengthening russia. Hundreds of thousands died building railroads for great mother russia, more died in labor camps, even more died fighting for mother russia. You should not look on how many lives Russia lost, rather the countries next to it. The people abducted, most of them, died in some ditch building the glory of Russia, so while they lived a little while longer they were forced to work for the evil regime.

Who got off easy? the one killed without mercy or the one withering away for his oppressor. I dont know.

Somehow I don't think Satis would have any reason to fear you gfree. I would say I'd like to see you try but truth is I know Satis at least is more dignified than to stoop to fighting levels unless the need to defend himself arose. And, he is very good at defending his family (yes I can say family we have kids in fur coats and hard shells).

So long as he's buying chocolate swastika and is eating it regularly. :wink:

Be your family well and living in peace (local definition, may be overridden by a global one). I think you over-exaggerate the threat level here. Or perhaps are you yet another victim of some propaganda. Dunno. And I don't want to know, to be honest. Please, hold that crap of implying I threatened anyone's family for yourself. Thanks.

Gfree, I was reading the comments on the youtube vid in your sig, one of them said:

Quote:
Ma nemam reci, prosto FANTASTICNO, toliko energije u jednoj pesmi...


Is this Serbian? I picked up some basic Czech last year and I think that sentence reads:

'I don't have any words for it, simply fantastic, so much energy and a unique sound (?? not sure about the last two words)"

Is that anywhere near an accurate translation? Just wondering :)

And yeah, all Slavic languages are similar.

Haha, thanks for the correction! Neato. Actually speaking and writing Czech is too hard for me still apart from restaurant talk etc, but reading it seems to go pretty well.

You're right about the Slavic languages being similar, I knew a Polish girl who could pretty much get around in Prague with Polish...and my ex-girlfriend (who was Czech) simply spoke Czech with the hotel management when she was on holiday in Cerna Hora (Montenegro). She told me that they pretty much understood her. :roll:

See the edits I made above. Right one would be:
Quote:
I'm just out of words, it's simply FANTASTIC, so much energy in a song...

Yet the comment is seemly of an really big fan. Meh.

Still you was so pretty accurate. :)

Cool, maybe I should keep on learning Czech even though I'm not living there anymore. Seems like a pretty cool gimmick. :wink:

Pesky Russian and its lame-ass cyrillic alphabet though. :? (just realized Serbian probably has a cyrillic alphabet too, haha)

Actually Serbian is being written both on Cyrillic and Latin (see sr.wikipedia.org). Majority prefers Cyrillic. But not all people have it installed on computers. As well, Montenegrin = Serbian. They write it same and just speak it out differently. That's the reason why we don't have Montenegrin Wikipedia yet, although they tried twice to open it.

I changed the song in the sig.

The photo below is apparently from a scene of a movie currently being filmed, but imagine what would be going through your head if you happened to pass by that street without knowing...

:D

I would inevitably get worried.

Satis would probably grab the nearest M1 Garand and start plugging. :)
