“Smug”…..someone remind me what the word means, will they? 😉

There’s a caption in there somewhere, but I fear the site would be closed down……. 😮

What that means Frank is that we can prevent any serious discusion on this forum that dosn’t meet our criteria.

By, for example, accusing those who disagree with us of anti-semitism? :rolleyes:

How typical of the Ranting Right to start hurling terms like “anti-Semitic” around when people disagree with them and call their world-view into question.

Do they think that people will pretend to agree with them as a result?

And how, pray tell, does the omniscient JBoyle know what religion any of us “anti-semites” are? Hmmm?

They display the mentality of the playground, and it is pathetic to witness. 😡

I think you’re thinking of Alfred Rosenberg, Geforce. Rabid anti-semite, editor of the Voelkischer Beobachter, chief ideologist of the NSDAP (Nazi Party), Minister For Eastern Territories, etc, etc.

Born in Estonia in 1891, hanged at Nuremburg in 1946. Not a nice man.

There’s also the possibility that he was shot by an Israeli soldier and that the “staging” story was, itself, planted.

Just as likely to be true, just as likely to be untrue.

Unvarnished truth, from either side, is in short supply in that part of the world of late.

Who can tell?

One man’s truth is another’s mendacious propaganda.

Is anyone going to come back from the dead, either way?

And why are you picking on the French? :confused:

I vow to thee my country would be a better anthem.

No it wouldn’t – that bit from “Jupiter” always makes me cry.

Well…..it does.

As for the “happy couple” – mere words alone cannot do justice to the full extent of my apathy towards the House of Saxe-Coburg Gotha in general (their real name, not “Windsor” – George V changed it during WW1 because it sounded too German) so these joyous tidings leave me quite cold.
