The holocaust was one of the most terrible things in recorded history, only exceeded by Stalin's murder over more than 10 million of his own countrymen. Why do we not remember this and that the people that approved were and are still there. The probability of Germany ever instigating such an attempt at genocide and murder is non-existent, however we have no satisfaction that this crime could never happen again in Russia.

SBW Rixpix is not a true communist. If you read his entries here, you realize he's a blithering idiot. I mean that in the nicest sense. When he posts something you have to take the first letter of his entry and the last letter of his entry and ignore everything from those two points.
Plus, how can anyone force democracy on someone? It's contradictory. If you force them to choose, they may well choose some other form, so democracy would only last one election. And what a grand German name Wellheim. Is that with a W or a V?

I'm trying! I'm trying!

Thank you for your lesson on the Marine Corps, Navy and Navy Corpsmen. Can I assume you were one of those or more?

You've got to remember, breathing fecal material will probably cause lung infections and possibly some sepsis, not mutagenic diseases of both the person sprayed but also their descendants, not to mention various skin diseases, type II diabetes and various maladies the VA refuses to acknowledge.

at 70 I should get a lot of strokes for playing with old equipment but hope aspirin helps stop them. Plus, I don't golf.

How do you know?

Boy, I almost hate to write this but feel it has to be said.
First, John Bradley, the last in the line of MEN, was a hospital corpsman, not a medic. If you don't think that is an important distinction, as any corpsman or Marine.
Secondly, I never met a boy in the Marine Corps or Hospital Corps. We used to say that in combat you went from 18 to 40 in nothing flat.

How about keel-hauling? Drawing and quartering? Four horse going in four directions?
Man, sometimes being a Christian is difficult!

To anybody that is afraid of a colonoscopy: in late June of 2008 I developed an elevated temp, nausea and no appetite. I was 65 at the time. The doctor diagnosed me with stage 4 colon cancer spreading to the liver. I had 7" removed from my colon, a round of excruciating chemotherapy, followed by removal of 3/4 of my liver with 3 days in ICU. When I got home from that, I was so depleted as the liver rebuilt itself that I had to rest halfway up the stairs to go to the bathroom. I went from 220lbs to 160lbs at which point my oncologist looked me firmly in the eye and said, "eat or die!". Such a way with words! This was followed by another round of chemotherapy, many times worse than the first due to my depleted condition. I was then left with peripheral neuralgia in my feet, somewhat continuous nausea and frequent migraines. November my oncologist will declare me cured. Does this sound more fun than colonoscopy? For your own sake JUST DO IT!

I'll bet if you stood and did it, you would miss a great deal more than we do.

I have the feeling if you fired all of those at once, you would end up going backwards.

Aw come on everyone. That was funny no matter who you are! I think some people are ticked off because they got got. I was angry all the way through to the end, and then laughed at the post and myself. It didn't need to be "Americanized"!

Looking for a backpack for my 4x5 field camera (Zone VI) and lenses. What kind do you use?

Or a fully loaded grease gun.
