I kinda dig Ween. Caught their show up here back in September/October (last fall.) Fun live show. Yeah I'd like to see Ween live. That way I could throw a hand grenade onstage. I would imagine a detonation from a grenade would leave the tightest knit of bands like Ween miles apart. And RACK 'cake i...

Have you ever listened to Seasons In The Sun while stoned? Shit. That'll make you bawl your eyes out. Or try Down From Dover by Dolly Parton. That song is fucking sad.. But, my personal bawl my eyes out song is Josie (I Wont Fail You) by Donovan. That song brings up bad memories, gets me teary every...

A convincing argument for Paulus written by one of his staff officers and critical of von Manstein? Hmmm. That's what I first thought. It's a defence against Mansteins accusations in 'Lost victories' regarding Paulus' actions for Thunderclap and the initial contraction of the pocket at the outset o...

The Forgotten Soldier by Guy Sajer is one of the best WW2 memoirs I've read. He fought on the East Front from 43 to 45 in the Gross Deutschland division. Marvellous book! Just finished 'Stalingrad, memories and re-assessments' by Joachim Weider, a staff officer assigned to 6th army. You'd like it. ...

The 'killing fields' were fields that (mainly) young cadres took innocent civilians to be executed. Pol Pot targeted doctors, teachers, intellectuals, community leaders, technicians...anyone with over a grade 2 education and above 16 years of age was a potential victim... Yes. Somehow I doubt these...

Your claims, are: 1. The U.S. gave aid to Lon Nol's Cambodia. -Yes. He was a dictator with the right political leaning, installed in a coup in 1970 2. The U.S. bombed Lon Nol's Cambodia. -Yes. Lon Nol was engaged in combat with the Khmer Rouge. American and ARVN were engaged with the NLF and the NV...

I had no idea there were so many Dith Pran fans on the board.

Lon Nol was the recipient of American aid. Vinnie, Vinnie, Vinnie :tsk: :tsk: Now Lon Nol was not the evil man that killed all those people. Pol Pot was. How many different ways would you like the same answer? Hundreds of thousands of people died from overwork, disease and starvation in an attempt ...

Lon Nol was the recipient of American aid.

So you didn't see the trail of events that led to the genocide in my post? You have no argument. Tom asked you to post such, and you didn't. So far, all you have is your opinion and really shitty trolling. And no, No, the one where you bombed the shit out of a country and supported an evil dictator...

Because of foriegn policy. :lol: :lol: :lol: The one where we sit idly by and do nothing ? or The one where we try diplomatic measure to try and curtail inhumane treatment of the people. or The one where we invade and overthrow a dictator. No, the one where you bombed the shit out of a country and ...

Pol Pot has been discussed. You were wrong and are too lazy to provide evidence of U.S. involvement in the "Killing Fields".

Radio fan, the goats thing is shit and doesn't belong in a rational arguement. Tell that to the Taliban, jackass. You can't seriously be this stupid. But the taliban are a small group of individuals, not representitive of a worldwide religion. If what you were saying is true, all muslims would grab...

No, it is filled with logic. When you kick someone enough times, they eventually kick back. Terrorism is not irrational hatred, it's an extension of politics. If you're referring to Islamic extremism, nope. There is no "extension of politics." Unless your idea of that just happens to agre...

Well now do we "support" them or try to work with them diplomatically, for our best interests. Tut America. Now there's a practical thought. How moral of you, Tom. Don't worry the US supports the Khmer Rouge. When Viet Nam invaded Cambodia in 1981 the New York Times magazine ran an articl...

This thing is averaging 30 hits a minute:

It'd be interesting to see you write your own "manifesto" and why you believe the world would be better off without America. His manifesto would be filled with bravado, until Hamed and his band of Islamic fundamentalist freaks breaks into his house and he starts getting that warm feeling,...

absolutely.

Well Tom, the use of toxic defoliants pesticides,and indescriminate bombing left roughly a third of the population homeless. This fuelled the uprising against American backed dictator, Lon Nol. When Lon Nol was overthrown by Pol Pot, the US cut food aid for Cambodia. With the country devastated and ...

Wrong.

No I'm right, as usual.

Why no war crimes trials, then? I'll tell you why, because it would have resulted in Kissenger being hung from rope.

Marxist. How quaint. Exactly. Maybe this fuckstain can give everybody a review on how "The Killing Fields" was just Hollywood propaganda. So Pol Pot was a Marxist? Get a fucking grip. He mumbled a few Marxist phrases in order to obtain help from China in the mid-late seventies. I think yo...

Marxist.

Yeah, everyone knew what was going to happen. That was why we had stacks of alternative proposals from Kerry, Kennedy, Clark, and the rest of the apparent all-knowing chattering class. :roll: By 'rest of the planet', I was actually referring to the 'rest of the planet', not the Democratic Party. Yo...

'Cuz all wars before this were easy, right? Quit fucking acting like you or anyone else had the unique ability to look into the future and see every consequence of going to war in Iraq. As well, please explain where these fucko terrorists would be right now if not engaged with us in Iraq... Actuall...

How can you be at war and have so few casualities among the general population? We have been way to nice over there.

Out.
