Finally a human touch to the dabate

That was the hardest blow I could recieve in this whole debate. A picture speaks more than a thousand words.

Finally a human touch to the debate

Don't cry. I do try to make a serious effort to understand what happened in Romania in 1940-1944, I try to understand what you think about it. I disagree, but I won't automatically consider you a depraved bloodthirsty count Dracula.
I have some problems with how Romania at large deals with the past, but I also understand Romania had a, shall we say, rough twentieth century. Life, history, is different when stuck between the Ottoman, Soviet and the, although in itself pretty liberal, Austrian/Hungarian empire. It has been easier to live in Canada than to live in Latvia, or Poland, or Romania. I am often trying to remind myself that the East Europeans do have a point when reminding the world of this.


France had a Vichy, it took to 1995 for the French government to accept that Vichy itself, France herself, bore responsibility for what happened. No smugness here. I shall presume you yourself never killed anyone, Jewish or otherwise, on a march to Stalingrad.

Are you familiar with Juergen Habermas? He's a German philosopher. In the eighties he explored how Germany could accept WWII, could accept that it was a German event, and still be proud being German, seek an identity in German history.



To lighten the topic: Whom did you vote for last Sunday? Are you happy with the result so far?

I confess I had to look up his name though so I wont spoil it for the rest of you

[Kralizec]

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Da Da Cia = reference to dadaism, and possibly Dacia.
That's all I managed on my own. The rest I had to figure out with google.

Post is a parody of Proclamation without Pretention.

conducator = Romanian equivalent of Fuhrer, title used by Antonescu.

Ti-am dat = I gave
Sa-ti spun, ce simt acum = let me tell you, I feel now / let me tell you how I feel?

Relevance to the topic? The author was a Romanian jew with communist sympathies. Otherwise, no idea.
