Mickey, no offense taken, but I disagree with your signature: a war can't change people's minds, heart or thoughts. They may keep a bit silent for some time - if they haven't been killed - but their minds, heart and beliefs still remain. Germany is not the only country with neo-nazis, but we've got them here: young people.
The old-communists in former Russia still try to corrupt the country and nearly every country has facists.
And if I'm not totally wrong: The racist community Ku-Klux-Clan is still active in the USA.
War may change conditions - for better or worse - but it takes more and other efforts to solve and change.
If I misread the irony behind your signature, then, please forget my post <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Addendum: I liked your opening post, I consider it very precious, this kind of old love, of growing together - never experienced it though, my own personal record is 4 years <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> of close relationship.


yes, i realise war doesn't change peoples' minds, thoughts or hearts.

my signature is referring to stopping the spread of such things.

yeah, these things still exist, but not nearly to the degree they used to exist.

and once i develop a record for a close relationship, i'll let you know <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

and womble, i disagree about communism being fairer. in capitialism you get what you earn. granted sometimes you can get screwed, but no earthly system is perfect.

and yes, on paper communism looks great. but the world isn't a hypothetical place. communism is idealistic, where as capitialism is realistic.
