yeah, that's what I thought. The Depression was what Hitler needed to come to power. But he was still rejected, constantly, by a majority of German voters. He just exploited Hindenburg, Papen, and the system.

Yup. 56.1 % did not vote for Hitler in 1933.
 
Reve-fucking-lations. Yes, oh yes. Hell yes.

I'll drop my dime and agree with you. Now to hear it on my work pc.

PS-- I won an award today. It's kinda like being the 'most helpful, cheerful person' award for our company. I'm feeling slightly cocky at the moment.

Alright. Well, I don't think so (especially speaking WWII), but I can imagine that this is told or taught in Bulgary.
We lost territories of great importance (well, I guess each part of the country is of great importance) and the reparations we had to pay were larger than those after WWI. In addition, in a way we're still suffering the consequences of being USSR's best friend for half a century.
 
No, those countries all hated the USSR. From what I'm told, the only ones who actually liked them were Bulgaria, East Germany and Cuba.

And this one just cracks me up:

I'm just saying that it really looks like loving and hating the USSR didn't matter if you were in Eastern Europe, you got about the same shaft.

Yep.
That's exactly what I meant by USSR's best friend. The Communist regime was much more lenient in other Balkan countries. I can't be certain about the situation outside the Balkans, though.
 
We used to say "In Communism, we're all equal, but some people are more equal than others", if you know what I mean. ;)
 
So, I think I'll leave you, with your bishops and your guilt, so until the next time, have a good sin!

In other words, bon week-end!
