Unpopular Opinions

[dragonrider]

I am assuming Hitler would eventually of taken over Italy, they basically had to hold their hand the entire war.

That isn't an unpopular opinion it is an American delusion.

America did not win the second world war , thats an unpopular opinion based on the fact that Hitler made the fatal error that Napoleon had made by attacking Russia in winter.

Hitler shot himself in the foot with that move.

Thank goodness he didn't learn from history, at least

Without America tying down the Japanese they would have been free to launch an invasion into Russia. Then it would be Russia that would be defeated in a pincer move instead of Germany. Think of that..... Not to even mention our contribution to the western front with our aid we gave great Briton even before we invaded on D-day. We also gave aid to Russia in terms of air support and supplies.

Let's not forget that we lost so many lives over there in normandy that the memorial/burial grounds there has pretty much been declared US soil.

To suggest that the US entering the war did not directly lead to the Allies winning is warped to say least.

That's not to say that America were the ones to win the war, but our involvement did lead to victory (yes there is a difference).


edit: meant to reply to pyschocat.. oops

Thank you all for your personal, direct involvement in this war!

your comment would have any weight if myself or any of the other users quoted even began to imply that we had any involvement with it, and this wasn't an opinion thread.

now bring your condescending attitude somewhere else, thank you

I tried to quote everyone who chimed in on this topic, but somehow some didn't get copied into my comment. So I'm sorry if it came off one-sided. The point I was trying to make was that no one involved with this topic played a part, so there's no point in hashing it over. This discussion sounds to me alot like one person telling another person that he doesn't appreciate him enough for what his grandpa did for the other guy's grandpa. Get over it people!

My Unpopular Opinion is that unless your are over 80 years old, you inherited the world after WWII. So take credit/blame for what YOU or your generation did, and forget credit/blame for what your ancestors did.

Yeah, those Yankees are looking better all the time... :wtf:

Life is better as a comedy than a drama.

Ha ha! This is so true!

Life is a comedy. Even the dramatic and tragic parts have some kind of comedy.

We should be grateful for what our ancestors did - most of them, at least.

I think everyone should be pacifists and that war is unnecessary, unless attacked on your home soil. It's not a popular opinion, but it's mine

I think most movies are an waste of time.

Action movies are just a lot of exaggerations (or rather absurds), fireballs (the only nice things in it) and uncounted number of murders for the most useless reasons.

Policial films are even worst. Damn the cops! Its enough to have to see them in the real life!

Most suspense movies are fairly previsible (if not obvious)... the only good ones are the very few ones which are really surprising.

Terror movies are usually very weak... a person must be really fearful to be scared by a thing in the screen of a TV (or a theather)... and even if not, most things depicted in this movies are not so scary...

Most scientific fiction movies are just what the name says: fiction. Of course there are some few which shows things that actually could happen in some future, but most of them are plain nonsense.

Dramas are pure masochism. The real life is a drama itself, and a very sad one (nobody ever survives much long in it), so why to ingest more drama unnecessarily?

Comedies usually are pathetic. Most "laughable" things are not so laughable, and the really funny hardly are catch by the movie makers (with some exceptions, of course).

And there are the romantic comedies, that are completly previsible, sometimes very dumb, but sometimes is nice to watch a history with a happy ending...

Anyway, there is no better movie than the one that your life becomes when youre HIGH :stoned::rastasmoke::jointsmile:

Depending on what they did of course...

This thread needs to die.
