  7. Re:The myth of sysiphus on Scientologists Force Comment Off Slashdot · · Score: 1
    I'm very sorry you feel the way you do. I have studied, and have found no good alternative to religion. Modern philosophers have tried to justify the non-existance of God with moderate success (ei. Jean Paul Sartre, Albert Camus), but none have ever given a satisfactory answer to the continuation of human existance. Albert Camus wrote an essay on this very subject in The Myth of Sysiphus and other plays in which he asks, If there is no God, and life is absurd (without any higher meaning), then should we all commit suicide? He did not give an answer to my satisfaction. He used this as a jumping off point to create a way of living that knew no rules, no obligation to anyone, and no feelings for other people. This is not how I choose to live my life.

    Ok.. Religion, continuation of man, etc.
    Can't you just accept that "shit happens?"

    Ok.. not entierly defending with the stalinist above; The russians did _not_ win the war for us. (made it a shitload easier for us) so some of you are completley disgarding the effect the russians had on the war.

    Here, a bit from one of my essays;
    The battle of Stalingrad was a bloody siege which lasted from August '42 to January '43. In this battle alone the Germans lost
    400,000 troops
    1.5 million Germans surrendered
    3500 tanks,
    12,000 guns and mortars,
    75,000 vehicles
    3,000 aircraft

    This left the entire German army greatly over extended, while the Russian strategy of a `reflexive line` (bend under pressure, then attack the `fire bucket` located inside of the bend) effectively dealt with the German offensive movements.

    The russians did not win the war - though they did divide the german front (into 3 parts, because the italians were constantly fucking up and Hitler sent troops to "reinforce them"

    China was being raped by the japanese, and the japanese hoped to meet the germans a few months after d-day.

    They (russians) lost troops to the Germans at a rate of 2:1 (either killed or surrendered)

    Also - we had the fucking bomb (admittedly, a bit too late, but firebombing berlin (or dresden -

    BTW - more japanese were killed in the firebombing of tokyo than the A-Bomb attack on the other cities. firebombing from the outside in was a really wonderful practice (i.e. so that people couldn't run out of the city, as that part was already in flames)

    I digress - firebombs had the same effect )

    The germans did not have an impregnable air defense - carpet bombing with nukes woulda been cool. 'nuff said.
    It woulda been really interesting if normandy had not happened. But thats another discussion.

    But, after all, I'm Polish, so I can't forget the fact that the fucking russians went to bed with hitler when he invaded poland.
    Or the fucking French and British - who pledged to defend us. Took 40 years for the poles to be free from some despot.

    Whatver, flame on. Fact is, there were agreements which were not honoured.

    Oh.. Russians were under orders to kill those on their side who surrendered before firing at enemy troops.

    i.e. firing at germans. White flag goes up. Russians fire on white flag. Flag goes down, resume firing at germans.

    Fuckit, it seems that few on /. know anything about history (or care).

    Oh.. couldn't resist - Lenin? you mean Vlad?
