It's provocative, it gets the people going

History is complicated. I suspect they were using the cover of war to get rid of undesirables - I would recommend the book "The Last Million" by David Nasaw for a detailed account of displaced persons during the war.

My Dad's side of the family is Ukrainian and my grandmother was actually abducted by Russians in '42 and shipped to Berlin to work in a laundromat cleaning Nazi uniforms. Every time the subject of Russia came up when I was a kid she would say "Russians are all cheaters and liars" and we would laugh and say "Oh, Grandma." She died about a year before the war broke out and I always think about that. She loved Berlin though, said it was the cleanest city she'd ever seen.

Jim Johnson - the people should have affordable healthcare and groceries - 50.5%
John Jimson - let's put brown people in concentration camps - 48.5%

I am happy for the wave but i can never get over how insane the margins are...

I'd drink one if it meant a lawsuit big enough to never work again.

Holy shit I'm finally part of the 1%.

It literally has direction on it that say to do this. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills reading these comments.

As a middle-aged bald, I needed this.

What oh what will transpire

Why do wives eat French fries off their husbands' plates when they could just order their own? Because it doesn't count if you didn't order it. Those fries may as well be in international waters. Same with kids candy.

I thought this person was just a bit from Frasier. Damn, they did her dirty.

Old people have been saying that about all technology since the beginning of recorded history. it just means that people don't stay exactly the same as they have always been. Novels were mocked as being foolish, books themselves were mocked when they replaced tablets, i mean it goes on and on. And you're right that abilities may atrophy. Do people have poorer handwriting now? Yes. Does it matter at all? Not really. I think you're wrong though about memory atrophying. I have been using computers and cell phones since I was a child, and I have excellent memory. Regarding navigation via phone - Can I conduct orienteering with a map? No. Does it matter at all? Not really.
