If you can't feed your troops, and you can't move your troops.....winning a war is impossible. USSR army was useless without US aid.

"In two particular areas the help was indispensable. With major agricultural regions of the Soviet Union under enemy occupation, and the unsatisfactory system of distribution and transportation, to say nothing of mismanagement, the Soviet state had more than a nodding acquaintance with famine...

I didn't say the US singlehandedly WON the war, I said they single-handedly turned the tide. The USSR had a 1 front war, hell, and they had difficulty with that. The US had a 3 front war, and did pretty well on all sides. I don't deny that the Eastern Front was probably the fiercest, but...

Wrong. They only stayed in the fight, due largely to the lend lease program til the US joined. The USSR didn't start overpowering Germany until 1943-44, a full 2 years AFTER the US joined. My statement still stands. Were there no Western Front (US), and African Front (US). The USSR...

"I'm sick and tired of the US pretending they single-handedly stopped WW2 and did so only out of selflessness." I wouldn't say the US single-handedly stopped WW2, I would say that the US single-handedly turned the tide into the allies favor. Without the US the allies would have lost (A slew...

Seeing athiests comment on religious beliefs humors me. They almost always get it wrong. Meh, I'm easily amused.

Probably never finish. Have you seen the models of what Rushmore was to be before they started, was supposed to include most of their torsos too. Ran outta time, money and who knows what else, still quite the achievement though. It's great to dream big.

Oh forgot to mention, the thing is gigantic, dwarfs Rushmore, I forget the exact specs of it, but much larger.

Cim, they're only using private funds, they keep refusing government grants and such. Else it'd probably be done a long time ago, they want no government intervention what so ever. Kinda cool, won't be finished in our lifetime though, hah

The beta testing for Blu-Ray was 2 years ago. Hell, during christmas 2008 here in the states BR players were going for $170-$185. That's cheap, that's mainstream cheap. Now the discs on the other hand are expensive, but with some creative shoping (amazon.com is your friend here) I usually...

Lesser of two evils, had there been no counter balance to the Russians/Soviet Union.... Let's just say I believe that Soviet domination would have been far worse.

A bridge out of the capitol was bombed 3 hours before Russia signed the cease fire. A full week after the counter offensive by the Russians started. It was blown for spite. Mentioning the ceasefire, the Russians are not pulling out of Georgia, I wonder why.

Sure Liberty, no bias in your opinion at all, what're you like 3 blocks off Red Square? Your comrades said the same thing after deciding to level Chechnya....school hostages, apartment building bombings, multiple plane bombings....no consequence there at all. The proof is in the pictures...

It's all fun and games for Russia until after a few months/years Georgian wack jobs start suicide bombing Moscow. Maybe taking a little lesson from the Chechens. If you can't beat them in a stand up fight, then a little terrorism goes a long way. Especially since Russia has done a great job...

I'm not saying it's impossible to EXIST there, what I am saying is that there is no chance for improvement of your life there. Improving the quality of life for your family is just human nature, would we expect less of ourselves? PS. I'll work on your other points sometime this weekend...

double post sorry

Prez, Thing is dude, I used to think just like you, I've had a couple bad experiences in my time with illegals. As I've aged and started a family, I had to stop and ask myself, what would I do in that situation, getting paid crap in Mexico, or where ever, and will never get paid more than...

Dark, I live in a city that is the majority hispanic, I also live in a city that has a large population of illegals that happen to be hispanic. It is something I am very familiar with. When the topic comes to illegal immigration hispanic illegals are what I know and have experienced...

Dark, I never said only hispanics suffer, you continually make this an arguement about who suffers more, they all suffer and I have said so several times. I guess you are the one ignoring what you want. At the rate you are going, you might actually have me start disagreeing with whether or not...

Prez, is it fear you speak from? You don't seem to understand that these immigrants hold a certain amount of power. You think you are determined to stand your ground on this issue? The illegals are more determined due to their circumstances than you and the US government. They've got 20...
