the fact that I have a pic of this boat in the sig does not mean that my political views are right-wing or that I worship the III Reich, and it also doesn't mean that I try to glorify the role a weapon which basically was insidious.

I have the pic there simply because I like the look of the boat and the technology is interesting.

I guess you're trying to accuse me of being a neo-nazi. I am not.

I think Cyril is simply poking fun at the Nazi party, given his comments in that dumbass with the closed down theocratic website thread.

I guess the part with the U-boats was aimed at me. I just wanted to make clear that I'm neither a neo-nazi nor facist nor-right-winger of any kind.

It's a song, people. 'Springtime for Hitler' by Mel Brooks. Watch 'The Producers'

Cpt_Frank · Post by **Cpt_Frank** » 2002-10-22 03:26pm

You know somehow I doubt the part with the u-boats was part of it.

HemlockGrey · Post by **HemlockGrey** » 2002-10-22 03:27pm

Well, doubt all you want. It's right there in the song.

No. I don't have time to produce concrete evidence simply so you'll be certain I wasn't subtly mocking you. Take my word for it.

I can vouch for the song part.

Cyril is telling the truth.

The song is from a Mel Brooks commedy about two producers who need to do a broadway musical that is so bad that it will certainly fail. Thus the 'springtime for hitler' musical.
The most funny thing about this is that in the end the film became a classic so now it is put on broadway...

Blasphemer! You've never heard of the Producers? Great film.

"Springtime, for Hitler, in Germannnyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy; winter for Poland, and France ...."

or something to that effect. It's been a while.

Cpt_Frank · Post by **Cpt_Frank** » 2002-10-23 02:07pm

Now when looking at that text (which is hilarious btw) I'd say that I have seen that movie but I can't remember the German title anymore.

No thats why he tried to kill hitler, along with some other generals.

Not nazi germany(hate 'em) but how did you feel about Imperial Germany from WW1?
I kinda like them, one of the last imperial powers, kinda like the 4th Empire from the weber books(always had a soft spot for empires with emperors and empresses), and not the badguys, I dislike the allies for it was them who set the post-war conditions that lead to hitler being something else than a toilet cleaner.

Out of curiosity, was the First Reich the Holy Roman Empire, and was the Second Reich the Kaiser's Imperial Germany?

When a single country manages to hold off the combined forces of the world's
two major powers (US and USSR) and that of a lesser power (British Empire)
for six fucking years, that's pretty damn impressive.

So fucking what, MARK? That was yesterday. This is today. Which are you, Shep, a member of the world's richest and most powerful country, which also happens to be a democracy (bring up silly wranglings over semantics and democracy in your own damn thread, too), which gives you free reign to spew all the bullshit you can stand, but draws the line at pre-pubescent, mealy-mouthed, underweight morons with pretensions of riflemanship? Or are you a member of a tight caste structure which no longer exists but if it did would summarily execute you? You're worshipping some people who used the 9mm and brilliantly defended their single oilfield, and whose leadership is now hunted and going extinct. Groooooooooooooow Uuuuuuuuuuuuup! I can't stand it! I mean, it's funny to see you make an ass out of yourself every day, but get real. Stop advancing your thoughtless ideas as if we'll keep them in mind when we vote this November--hey, can you vote? Oh that's right, you can't huh? You blew your chance to have any say in the government, didn't ya? You're so stupid! Go DO something! Fuck!

Also, this guy said it quite well....

Does the fact that the US Military officer and NCO corps have
had a 6 decade "hard-on" for the germans mean anything?

"Oh sure, I'm glad they lost but......"<---starts a WHOLE LOT of
conversations I've had with US Military people for over 20 yrs now.

So WHAT! And what 6-decade long hard-on are you talking about? The Nazis were our most powerful foe in history, and here you are acting surprised that we still think about them. I mean, merciful heavens, God forbid that we should still have all those old coots around who were in the war. They should just all die so we can forget about it, huh? Who knows what ill may come if our armed forces had kept a record of it. Screw Russia, it was Germany we fought with. Say it with me, dork: we fought with them. They were bad and their policies were stupid.

At one point, his men rounded up pregnant women from local tribes, cut their bellies open, ripped out their unborn babies, and smashed their skulls in while the mothers bled to death, in order to show them who was boss. You really think all he did was introduce smallpox?

I never saw this in the Disney version I read in a pocketbook once... Hmmm, who should I believe here?

Well it was better than the III Reich although I still wouldn't call it good, it was almost good during Bismarck's time but Kaiser Wilhelm was a moron and although he didn't provide the actual cause for the outbreak of the war he contributed a great deal to the political instability present in
Europe during the 1st and second century.

Btw a question how do you guys feel about the type vii boat in my sig?
Do you find it offensive ie does it make me look like a neo-nazi?
I simply have it there because I like old submarines but if you think it makes me look like some moron who worships the III Reich (which I am not) I will remove it.
