Odd find. They seem to love to photoshop. I can tell because I've seen many blurry pixels.

Re: I protest!
I love their "very first sign" that they display proudly on their home page. The sign reads:
"Except for ending slavery, fascism, Nazism & communism, war has never solved anything"
The main problem with that statement is that slavery, fascism, Nazism and communism all still exist.

That's because we haven't had enough wars!I love their "very first sign" that they display proudly on their home page. The sign reads:

Seriously, war has solved slavery in the US, Nazism in Germany, facism in Europe, and communism in South Korea.
I actually joined the forums there a long time ago, but left after I saw a thread of idiots insulting the Pope and using quotes from The Lord of the Rings books to do it. Sheesh. Not to mention the then lack of moderation, resulting in disgusting crap (according to one thread I read pleading for moderation) and a number of racists coming out. I'd rather be at the Org with people with whom I can disagree pleasantly.
They've a number of clever posters but they don't seem to update them...ever.

You know, Britain managed to abolish slavery and the West African slave trade without war... The Soviet Union solved its slight communist problem without war...Originally Posted by Crazed Rabbit
But I'm not a peace-loving hippy, wars can have a purpose and a needfrom time to time. I just can't help being pedantic.

Re: I protest!
Well, they didn't have the South, now did they? Its not like I'm saying things can't be solved without war, just that sometimes war can solve things very well.You know, Britain managed to abolish slavery and the West African slave trade without war...
But with the threat of total nuclear destruction.The Soviet Union solved its slight communist problem without war...

Re: I protest!
Looking back, I wouldn't have really called it a problem...

It didn't have much call for slave labor outside of the colonies did it? There isn't going to be much conflict around the issue if no one has a real use for slaves.
Depends if you count the Cold War or not...The Soviet Union solved its slight communist problem without war...

Re: I protest!
Absolutely. Unless you count the anti-slaving raids on slave ships and bases which formed a part of the RN's duties for decades. Note: their efforts to stop that trade were among the more noble efforts of the Empire.
Absolutely. Unless you consider the civil wars and failed foreign interventions that characterized the efforts to prevent the founding of the CCCP or the various internicine conflicts (e.g. Chechnya) continuing in the wake of tis demise. Or for that matter, all the various warm spots of the Cold War.
No problemo.

It kinda looks like a low-grade humor site with a crappy funny picture gallery made by a band of Young Republicans.
