=========================
 RC>>> Frank has a unique perspective, one most of the folk who have bellyached
 RC>>> about the assertions about the USA dont have, he was alive in the 40's
 RC>>> and
 RC>>> I dont mean alive as a young child.

 BF>> And at that age one could also expect more comprehension and that the
 BF>> world have moved on but if he want's to live in the 40's that's his
 BF>> buisness but why drag it in here?

 PL> That's a fairly dumb question, given the perspectives presented by some in
 PL> here.

Well, I don't really understand what game he's playing. Is he really serious or
is arguing just because he haven't anything better to do?
Since this have stird up so much perhaps he should go to a WWII veterans
meating where he have his like-minded so they could spew in the same bucket
and for once get it out of their system but this have become an obsession and
have turned into fanatism.

 RC>>> Everyone else is of a different and far more recent generation.

 BF>> That has nothing to do with it.
 BF>> My grand father was 98 when he died and much more sense then this.

 PL> This above paragraph makes no sense to me in the discussion... it was far
 PL> to vague and gave no insight on what the greater sense may have been.

He died about ten years ago so he was born around 1900 and it was VERY
intresting to hear him talk about how it was when he grew up and he made sense
about it all and didn't have any hang-up:s about anything. With him it was easy
to talk to and intresting to listen to.

 BF>> I've talked to WWII survivors on the Greek islands who saw their family
 BF>> being shot by the Germans.

 PL> I talk to such civilian survivors on a regular basis... they're called "my
 PL> family".

And they tell a totally different story then Frank does.

 BF>> Not even they are as bitter over the Germans as Frank is over Europe.

 PL> I don't think Frank is bitter over Germany... at least not as much as he
 PL> is over the younger (from his perspective) European generation who all but
 PL> denies that WWII ever existed other than some squabble they could have
 PL> talked out amongst themselves with no outside intervention needed.

Whatever and since it's him that keeps all this shit going on he.......never
mind.
I don't find the enegy to keep this up anymore. I leave it to those who have it
and the time and interest to do so.
