I understand that. But the Soviet government was not innocent at all. Hitler probably just got the first punch in. The two countries, the USSR and Germany, had agreed to divvy up the entire eastern hemisphere between them once Britain gave up. That situation wouldn't have lasted. Both nations conspired to destroy Poland, and that act was what started the war in the first place.

Troll. "Might makes right" and all that eugenics crap has exactly zero to do with Darwin's theory, and you know it.

I never said it did. But a philosophy has emerged from it to that effect. Philosophy isn't science, of course, because it's not empirical.

So it's not "Darwinian thinking," then, is it? Call it what it is: eugenics.

Say what? When we are talking about Darwin and he's studies, I associate it with evolving monkeys. Someway, I think that everything would have been better for us all if we just h a d n o t descended from the trees...

Yet again, I do think about trees and bananalovers.
Can you please explain? 'your region'? Is that scandinavia you are talking about or?

I know Asgard like the back of my hand, thanks. |
Great for you :). Good reading it is. As you know, I'm from Sweden so I have feed myself with the mythology for a long time. But I still wouldn't call Oden the god of death.

Was that serious? |
Yes, it was. Can't say that you americans didn't help out a big one but you did not finish the war.

Not cool. Don't deceive yourself into thinking you have any right to say that.
