Want a Hitler T-shirt?

Ah! Now I see it

I had to go with the Kaiser.  I agree Imperial Germany had almost won that war several times.

The problem with the joke is that most people I’ve seen on this site are adults, most of whom are married.

Wait… how do you know each other?

Well, I can give you some human impressions. I studied Mathematics in Birmingham, Alabama for 10 month. Though the German unemployment rate is bigger than the American, the people are far better off in Germany than in America. There is less poverty, there are fewer homeless and the education is far better.
There are more beggars on the street than here. There is much more crime in the cities. I spoke with lots of people in dept and living from paycheque to paycheque. The cars on the streets were old and damaged. The same is true for many houses I saw. The college is very expensive, but Math 101 is rediculous. An American Bachelor is maybe, just maybe, a little more than a Bavarian Abitur.

Since I’m still at college, I don’t work yet and thus can’t give you personal information on that.

@Zero:

10% want citizenship, 54% want land, that’s 64% total. That’s almost a super majority! Only 19% said that they would chose to leave. Please explain your position because I think the numbers say otherwise.

Plus, I wish to point out as an aside that the OFFICIAL reason that Isreal drove these people from their land 50+years ago and refuses to let them return is that they are not Jewish, and therefore they would dilute Jewish political power in Isreal (a so called democracy). I find it upsetting that the US strongly backs a country that so openly defies the most basic principles of democracy, and that we act disgusted when the Palestinians call for the destruction of a state that denies them citizenship based soley on their religion.

Israel did not drive these people out of their homes. I’m from Haifa, a city where the Jews and Arabs live in peace. The Arabs in Haifa are Arabs that havel ived there sicne before the war in 1948 and chose not to leave. They were immediately given full ctizienship and equal rights. You’re right though, Israel is a very discrimating country. I mean, how is it fair that the Israeli-Arabs do not have to attend the compulsory military service while every Jewish-Israeli does.

It’s such a great crime against democracy not to give citizenship to people who mostly left willingly in 1948. A census in Beirut after the refugees had come there found that over 60% had left without even seeing an Israeli soldier. I think the Syrian prime minister, Khaled al-Azam, Syrian Prime Minister in 1949, put it rather well in his memoirs, “We brought destruction upon the [Palestinian] refugees, by calling on them to
leave their homes.”

Tanks, BB! Appreciate the explanation(ramble, too.)

Well, everyone else has to think about it, but ,
for you, :evil: b_k :evil: , there is no doubt. :P :wink: - Xi

“The consistent anarchist…should be a socialist, but a
socialist of a particular sort. He will not only oppose
alienated and specialized labor and look forward to the
appropriation of capital by the whole body of workers,
but he will also insist that this appropriation be
direct, not exercised by some elite force acting in the
name of the proletariat…Some sort of council communism
is the natural form of revolutionary socialism in an
industrial society. It reflects the intuitive under-
standing that democracy is largely a sham when the
industrial system is controlled by any form of autocratic
elite, whether of owners, managers, and technocrats, a
“vanguard” party, or a State bureaucracy.”
