She HAS to be acting that stupid, SURELY?

Please?

Surely?

Now, I'm no geography wizz by ANY standards, and I may well have got that question wrong. Although I know that Europe is not a country, and that at least Hungary exists. It's the combination of the stupid comments and general reveling in ones own stupidity that smacks of an act.

I hope.

To conan: You can't get too riled up. With Europe having the Euro, the Europian Union (with its own flag mind you) and so many things trying to bind the countries of Europe together you HAVE to give some leeway. And to say that you've been to Europe, I'm sure if you listened to said people a bit longer you'd hear them roll off the actual countries that they visited for you.

In Australia we definitely say "I just came back from Europe" as we will have been to a whole collection of countries while there, because, hell, for us it's a huge novelty to be able to travel from country to country just by driving for a few hours. To get ANYWHERE from here it's hours on a plane.

I was laughing at Foxworthy say "Yeah, like 'I'm Hungry'". :rolleyes:

It's Hungary, not hungry... at least the kid got it right.

This was not an attempt to "mislead" about Hitler being elected by 98%. He falsely stated that Hitler was elected by the German and /or Austrian people:

"Hitler did not take Germany by force. He did not drive in with army tanks. Hitler was elected. Anybody have any idea what the vote count was? What his percentage of the total was? Ninety Eight percent [pause] in Austria-Hungary. That's just about everybody. Everybody voted for Hitler because he was going to solve all their economic problems."

Even the Anschluss was enacted only AFTER Hitler sent his troops in to Austria, because the Chancellor would not fully cooperate and tried to get a plebiscite on independence and reject Nazi Germany's control. The Anschluss was not about voting for Hitler. And the plebiscite was not a free process.

I too think his message is dangerously compromised by incorrectly presenting a false history of what happened in Germany before WWII. We should not need such poorly presented arguments to realize that Bush and what he represents is a danger to the country and its constitution.

First Crusade: 1095 on command of pope Urban II.
Semlin/Hungary 6/24/96 thousands slain. Wieselburg/Hungary 6/12/96 thousands.
9/9/96-9/26/96 Nikaia, Xerigordon (then turkish), thousands respectively.
Until Jan 1098 a total of 40 capital cities and 200 castles conquered (number of slain unknown)
after 6/3/98 Antiochia (then turkish) conquered, between 10,000 and 60,000 slain. 6/28/98 100,000 Turks (incl. women & children) killed.
Here the Christians "did no other harm to the women found in [the enemy's] tents - save that they ran their lances through their bellies," according to Christian chronicler Fulcher of Chartres.
Marra (Maraat an-numan) 12/11/98 thousands killed. Because of the subsequent famine "the already stinking corpses of the enemies were eaten by the Christians" said chronicler Albert Aquensis.
Jerusalem conquered 7/15/1099 more than 60,000 victims (jewish, muslim, men, women, children).
(In the words of one witness: "there [in front of Solomon's temple] was such a carnage that our people were wading ankle-deep in the blood of our foes", and after that "happily and crying for joy our people marched to our Saviour's tomb, to honour it and to pay off our debt of gratitude")
The Archbishop of Tyre, eye-witness, wrote: "It was impossible to look upon the vast numbers of the slain without horror; everywhere lay fragments of human bodies, and the very ground was covered with the blood of the slain. It was not alone the spectacle of headless bodies and mutilated limbs strewn in all directions that roused the horror of all who looked upon them. Still more dreadful was it to gaze upon the victors themselves, dripping with blood from head to foot, an ominous sight which brought terror to all who met them. It is reported that within the Temple enclosure alone about ten thousand infidels perished."
Christian chronicler Eckehard of Aura noted that "even the following summer in all of palestine the air was polluted by the stench of decomposition". One million victims of the first crusade alone.
Battle of Askalon, 8/12/1099. 200,000 heathens slaughtered "in the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ".
Fourth crusade: 4/12/1204 Constantinople sacked, number of victims unknown, numerous thousands, many of them Christian.
Rest of Crusades in less detail: until the fall of Akkon 1291 probably 20 million victims (in the Holy land and Arab/Turkish areas alone).

Agreed, Knighthawk. My parents are both immigrants, and they had to wait themselves. (My mom for 3 months, my dad for a couple years.) I also have 2 friends I know of who recently became citizens. One is from Hungary, and he waited almost 5 years to become a citizen. He could have married a current citizen and become one that way, but he didn't want a marriage of convenience, since he wasn't in love with her. Another friend is Mexican and it took him about 4 years to become a citizen. (In fact, he did so just last year.) Add on to that the fact that he's from a poor family too. If he could wait for his citizenship, then why should others be exempt?
Granted something needs to be done to make immigration a bit easier for people, but supporting illegal immigration is not the route to take.

Yeah I do remember and you could say this is the price were paying for supplying Saddam in the first place. What we thought would be an easy war has turned into a nightmare. However, still remember he used the weapons on his own people not us. Russia was supplying Saddam with certain weapons and equipment before we invaded. Remember no one opposed us invading Iraq for purely objective reasons, many countries had a stake in Iraq. Saddam was a study of both Hitler and Stalin, and maintained power very well like Stalin.

India invade Pakistan??? They would try. Try being the key word and would never be successful. You know it would ruin both countries, and if they didn't use their nuclear capabilities in M.A.D. The USSR had control of Hungary before the 56 revolution and immediately after. Syria being a Baathist Party, so what, Saddam was the party, it was just a propaganda machine, he used it to make himself sound more like a legitimate leader on TV in Iraq. You make it sound likes its a legitimate party in Iraq. Ask Lebanon how they feel about Syria and its Baath party.

I do agree with theo though, you have to appreciate the history of this region since Iraq is an artificial country built on map. However, I already stated we cannot allow the developemnt of three seperate states there. The Kurds can't have an indepedent state because Turkey would invade. Forming seperate Sunni and Shiite states would be difficult because of outside forces trying to put their influence into those regions as well.

Theo, Korea a silly war of choice? Ask South Koreans how they feel about the U.S. involvement there. History is a funny subject. Those in Korea who oppose the US forces there come mainly from the younger generations. Compared to the older generations that are more supportive but becoming fewer and fewer who remember the war that took place and how the two countries have diverged.

And I'm sick of talking about this give me some more feedback.

While Saddam was a tyrant, it still gives no excuse for countries to invade nations under the pretense of keeping the peace. The same thing happened with the Soviet Union and Hungary, the USSR said that it was invading to stabilize a destabilized country. The same thing happened with Nicaragua and the US. It's a slippery slope if you argue that point Zeth_Rb, I mean how long is it before nations like India invades Paskitan or Kashmir? Syria is a Baathist state so you can't really blame them for support it's ally Iraq.

It's a very controversially topic.

"The Fly" Made by Ferenc Rúfusz, Hungary

"This amazing short shows a very detailed flight of a fly from the fly's perspective. In 1980 it won the second prize at the Ottawa International Animation Festival and in 1981 it won an Oscar."

I believe Mark Webber has been an F1 driver for some years now - currently for Williams Cosworth. You can see him racing at Hungary this weekend :-)
