I, for one, am glad that I never lived in the Soviet Union. Communist regimes were the most brutal and inhumane ones to ever rule on earth.

Oh my God!!! Nothing we have ever heard about! Did you visit my profile and follow the link to what I am currently viewing, BtE? You do realise how childish and "interruptinarry" your post sounds? As if you just followed the link and posted your automatic reaction.
Heck, this is craking me up sooooo badly. Literally, I am laughing on the floor right now. I was just babbling about the automatic reactions of people and *wham!* comes a perfect specimen to illustrate my example. As if Fate and God themselves joined hands to make my day better!!
Indeed, the USSR and Holocaust were two dark pages of our history. Sarcasm aside, the two things were indeed bad, but that is not a reason to shove how terrible the holocaust was every second of our lives. For 6 grades straight I have been learning about the Holocaust in my American school. Holocaust in Reading classes, Holocaust in English classes, and now Holocaust in History classes. Every class has its own Holocaust programme. We even skipped WWI and II to study the "glorious" Holocaust in one of my History classes. Same with USSR. People are so obsessed with Stalin, they fail to see the other side. That is all they see, brutal dictatorship under Stalin. I mean, USSR was no peaches n' cream, but it was not Dante's hell either.
Gah!Gah!Gah!
AP, I'm following randomly the forums. After replying to this I'll go to the Frontroom.
Who are YOU to criticize my posting habits?
And yes, it's a truth that is repeated ad nauseam but a truth nevertheless. Many pressure groups find them a reason for victimhood complexes today, though, and that's bad.
That is precisely what I suspected, as voiced by my previous posts. Now get out!! Your posting habits, the spam, sickens me. I went to the last refuge from spam, the Backroom, only to find the spammers trailing me. First Meth, and now you. Y'know, I suppose I will go into the Invisible Mode, as annoying it is. I have no other choice.

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
Quite enough of that, thank you.
