    "I don't see why it's any more "fair" to reward someone because he inherits his parents' intelligence vs inheriting parents' money."
    1. You must be kidding.
    2. You obviously don't understand what 'meritocracy' is. The social status isn't inherited - you still have to earn it despite how smart your parents were.

    "After invading Italy in 1943 it would have been relatively easy to invade through Trieste, which would have had the advantage of cutting off the Nazi oil supply from Romania. The reason that they picked Normandy was that this route would leave all Eastern Europe to the Soviet Union ."
    Thank you for clearing that up. They all lied to us and finally we know how it all went. We're all just humbled by your knowledge and wisdom.

    Would you YOU say that to a Jew?
    Already forgotten how many Jews were killed by the Ukrainian mobs? Or it's Russia's fault too?

    You do realize that you're being ridiculous, don't you? So imperial is intuitive for you. What a surprise. That settles everything.

    What 'royal pain'? What are you talking about? Have you ever heard an average European complain of the metric system?

    Looks like you've never heard of Mauritz Stiller, Ingmar Bergman, Tomas Alfredson or Lasse Hallstrom. That says nothing about them, but a lot - about you.

    That's just wrong. It's well known that some people are genetically predispositioned to certain health conditions. I'd say that _most_ (not _all_ ) addictions or health problems start with bad decisions.
    PS. Metacell is absolutely right.

    "I was able to touch the surface and they are rough as hell. The imperfections on the cast iron are easily distinguishable. They still keep German tanks in Park Pobedy as well as some military museums and you see that the finish is as good as German stuff today. Even the uniforms of the Germans were something to behold."
    Is that the best example of them being 'crude' you could think of?
