Gma4567 Posted June 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 (edited) Don't spaces not get registered beyond the first one in forum posts? For instance: 1 Space 5 Spaces. Try it yourself. Unless of course that worked. In that case I'd look like an idiot. Edited June 3, 2008 by Gma4567 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emperor Rick Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 (edited) hey before WWII Americans during the pledge of alliegence use to stick their hand out for the Roman salute. It was during hitler's reign it changed to right hand over the heart. Edited June 5, 2008 by Emperor Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gma4567 Posted June 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 No, but I was referring to the fact that we always criticize the %&$#s and whatnot, when just earlier we had been doing something that they did, and we just completely swept it under the rug like so many other things. Also, I am apparently the only person at my school who sees Boy Scouts as the American version of the Hitler Youth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Un4Gvn1 Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 I'm an Eagle Scout, by the way. o7 Boy Scouts. I didn't know the o7 was a salute; this was a perfect opportunity to try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igloo Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 No, but I was referring to the fact that we always criticize the %&$#s and whatnot, when just earlier we had been doing something that they did, and we just completely swept it under the rug like so many other things. Also, we drive automobiles.. and so did the Germans. And food.. we ate some of the same foods as they did. Also, clothing-- Pants for men, Dresses/Skirts etc worn by women. I could really go on and on... movies. music. socks. The point is-- Is %&$#-ism really dead? Or did it just go underground? Is the truth now coming forth? have the Germans undermined vitually every nation on Earth? Was this the true final solution? Discuss.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gma4567 Posted June 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 Its got some stuff going for it, but it is FAR from perfect, and America practices revisionist history all the time (Read: columbus and the native american genocide, etc.) Anyway, I am done with this thread.
