Liar. Show me the thread where I did.

Why I even bother engaging you in conversation is a mystery. It is obvious to all what I am trying to say, but like a lawyer you try to draw out as many words as possible so you can find a weakness and pounce in an effort to try and discredit.

Pathetic.

I'm with you. It seems to be the only forum where FMF does not troll.

War is war, and perhaps trivializing it with just may not be satisfactory. How about the carpet bombing of London and Dresden?

I don't know the geography, but I suspect that Leningrad wasn't bombed due to a lack of close enough airfields.

How does Gettysburg stand in the horrors of war? Or Cold Harbor? Or 15,000 US Marines killed taking Iwo Jima?

After all the horrors of war, Joseph Stalin killed more of his own people after the war than Hitler's armies did during the war.

Here's a great review of the video game "Just Cause 2". The reviewer is a British-Australian man whose target demographic are adults who sit around and casually play video games (vs the obsessive munchkin powergamers). He uses lots of "profanity".
