I want you to stay 'Til I'm in the grave 'Til I rot away, dead and buried 'Til I'm in the casket you carry If you go, I'm going too, uh 'Cause it was always you, alright And if I'm turning blue, please don't save me Nothing left to lose without my baby The audacity of this woman...she takes the "love you till I die" clichee and brings it to actual life. The sang froid.

Ordinary? She takes the "love you till I die" and takes it literally...did you get the meaning of the words? I'm honestly struggling to find a Beatles song that compares to this, maybe "Yesterday"?

Potato/ Potado

Birds of a Feather is undoubtedly the best song that came out this year. The song manages to sound upbeat and sad at the same time, every word is crafted to perfection and the harmonies, what can one say, genius. Have the Beatles written anything that can compare with this masterpiece by Billy Eilish?

It was John Mearsheimer who wrote The Jewish Lobby in America, not me.

What malicious democrat slander, she dearly loves her husband, who has gifted her a beautiful strapping son, what a lovely family. Why don't you support your slander with evidence if you can, but I suspect we will all wait in vain.

I think it would be more interesting if you apply this question to our own times, instead of to a world that has disappeared.

Very true of course. That is why we need to be free to see these documents for ourselves and with our own eyes. So we make our own minds up freely.

This is absolutely 100% correct. Well apart from the religious part. Our cavemen ancestors had to fight for sexual access, she went with the victor. But those men unable to compete soon figured out that they could buy women with food, ie get sexual access in return for a stable provision of food. However, if the woman then got pregnant by another male, this investment was wasted. Therefore, men insisted on loyalty. Out of this monogamy and eventually marriage was born. Monogamy and marriage are men's inventions.

I have long been an advocate for legal reform in relationships. As a minimal start any monies paid to woman (or man) should be contractual payments conditional upon the relationship being maintained. If the woman decides to exit the relationship she should have to repay the monies paid to her. It's only right. Easy to do and easy to implement. The guy makes a good point, that a woman can withdraw consent to sex any time, but a man can't withdraw consent to provide economic sharing at any time, rather the opposite happens if she decides not to have sex and to divorce she gets the house and car, or half the value. We need to wake up to the new reality, this is woman's paradise we live in. We can make it a men's paradise.

In Upper Silesia, Poles tried to challenge the results of the plebiscite of 1921 in bloody “uprisings” After Piłsudski’s coup d’état in 1926 [Illustration 6], one expected politics to become less anti-German, but the opposite was the case. German estates were increasingly subjected to land reform, rarely practised elsewhere. German public schools were closed down on all sorts of pretexts, after which private schools replaced them; German doctors were denied access to health insurances. A systematic de-Germanization was started, targeting mainly Pomeranians (the Polish Corridor), the Kashubians (who were declared to be Poles), and the Upper Silesians, where the newly appointed Wojewod Michał Grażyński (1890–1965), who had been one of the leaders in the Third Polish Uprising, initiated a decidedly anti-German policy. In Łódź, on Palm Sunday of 1933 (April 9, 1933), Polish nationalists committed assaults against Germans, which, after the national-socialist April boycotts in the Reich, the representatives of the Germans (and German historians, even after 1945) blamed on the Zionist Jews. Although these accusations were wholly unfounded, they alienated Germans and Jews, who had hitherto cooperated well. https://www.osmikon.de/en/thematic-dossiers/shared-histories/germans-and-jews-as-minorities-in-the-second-polish-republic-1918-1939

A "loser" Billionaire who was president of the United States. What if he wins again in November?

Well, the Dexit is not off the cards, though I would not bet on it the next 3 years. Unfortunately the Euro is now so linked with other currencies, to return to the Deutsche Mark could be a problem. That in itself would be a hugely popular policy among voters over 40 though. If a party ran on bringing back the Deutsche Mark they would almost be certain to win. But it is not going to to happen.

Nobody is travelling with Hitler anymore, he's had his fight. Those days are over. Now, we have more pressing concerns such as making sure the wrong things don't appear on Tik Tok.

Me too. But I fear the Deutsche Mark will not return.

I think the British Brexit precedent will be too tempting for some who oppose the EU. Whether that's the AfD in Germany, Marine Le Pen, that Dutch nutcase, or the Italian right, at some point someone will do another exit. For populist reasons alone.

It was Hans Ulrich Wehler, one of the most respected German historians who ever lived, who originally came up with the 1.7 milion figure, but of course history can develop and I accept the number can vary, however, whether it was 600,000, 1 million or 1.7 million, the number of civilians killed was astonishing, and the manner of death was particularly gruesome in many cases. Indeed the Poles were one of the guilty parties, there were others.

The Poles did not just treat the German minority poorly, btw, they also treated their jewish minority very badly. From the 1920s the Polish government excluded Jews from receiving government bank credits, public sector employment, and obtaining business licenses. From the 1930s limits were placed on Jewish enrollment in university education, Jewish shops, Jewish export firms, Shechita, Jewish admission to the medical and legal professions, Jews in business associations, etc." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Poland_(1918–1939) The Jedwabne pogrom was a massacre of Polish Jews in the town of Jedwabne, German-occupied Poland, on 10 July 1941, during World War II and the early stages of the Holocaust.[4] Estimates of the number of victims vary from 300 to 1,600, including women, children, and elderly, many of whom were locked in a barn and burned alive.[5] At least 40 ethnic Poles carried out the killing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jedwabne_pogrom

I'm trying to give the full picture, for decades Poles had used violence, intimidation and the barrel of the gun to attack Germans. This persisted well after the Poles took over. And of course culminated in the shocking atrocities committed against Germans after 1945 by, inter alia, Poles in the ethnic cleansings of over 14 million Germans, when 1.7 million Germans were killed in the most barbaric ways.

I hadn't even noticed it, I'm colour blind and religion blind and love all people with an equal open and loving heart. But now you mention it... What a strange co-incidence...

Oh, that's just one example. The German minority stuck in the lands Poland annexed after 1918 suffered greatly. Here's a whole list of incidents like this: "Assassination on City Hall": dominated by Germans, the Execution Department of Worker's and Soldier's Council proceeded to Poznań's City Hall, an armed group of Poles forces it to change four of the German delegates with Polish ones: Bohdan Hulewicz, Mieczysław Paluch, Henryk Śniegocki and Zygmunt Wiza. Poles thus gain control over the headquarters of Poznań Garrison and 5th Corps. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_Poland_uprising_(1918–1919) Poland used force, fear and intimidation against the German minority for decades.

Somebody had mentioned the Ben Laden letter to say it was censored as well. I agreed, and obviously the reason that letter and Hitler's Mein Kampf were censored is because many consider the words dangerous. In particular the Ben Laden letter is dangerous, because if you read it, a lot of it makes cogent sense. Even though you quoted only a small part of it out of context, the rest of the letter was obviously very persuasive to a lot of Americans who went on Tik Tok to discuss it, and were then banned.

Britain was vital to the EU, an oasis of common sense, in an expanse of fanatics and ideologues. Without Britain I have no doubt the EU will self destruct, not because the British economy was vital, but British common sense and vision was a vital ingredient. Anything that can't grow anymore will decay and die. The EU can't grow anymore. It will die. Already Germany has re-instituted borders. However, the Euro will most likely stay, hard to see countries adopting their own currencies again. Germany's economic troubles are more due to self-sabotage, by simply diabolically incompetent politicians, in particular the failed energy policy. But in any event I don't trust an EU that squanders its tax payer monies on building infrastrucure for people that hate us. That's just plain stupid.

Lol, so persistent. I replied to someone who mentioned the Ben Laden letter first, as anyone who actually reads the thread can see.

If that was all the Poles had done, it would not have been such a problem. Sadly the Poles did a lot more than that. "Polish soldiers and civilians reacted with violent reprisals against ethnic Germans, who in turn reacted with more violence. A Polish investigation concluded in 2004 that approximately 40–50 Poles and between 100 and 300 Germans were killed" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloody_Sunday_(1939)
