With how Stalin was, they would have betrayed Germany. There were two threats at the time.. one was the Bolsheviks in the Soviet Union, and the other was the Germans who were ignoring their treaty from WW I. Seeing as both were doing things to their people and the Soviets were into expansionism and the more dangerous threat, Europe and the U.S. saw the Germans as the lesser of the two evils in the 30s. This turned out to be a mistake, of course, because then Germany began mass expansionism and WW II enacted. The only way I could have seen Germany winning WWII would have been with the help of the Japanese. The German invasion into the U.S.S.R. at first was actually pretty darn successful and only some well played tactics served the Russians at all, as well as the Germans were not given proper attire etc for dealing with one of the worst winters Russia had had in some time. Many people say that if the Germans had not attacked Russia, they could have won, but I do not think so. The U.S. already had a declaration of war so they would have acted if Great Britain were to fall so bad, which would have ended things sooner because the Russians then would have attacked without so much loss. My thought on it is if the Japanese had gone into the other side of the U.S.S.R., instead of focusing on the U.S., they already had China pretty well controlled and were conducting bio-weapon experiments. Instead of testing these at the U.S. they could have sent them into Russian territory and they also could have sent troops etc. From two fronts of attacks, then Stalin's army would have been felled. Having said that though... Germany would have sooner or later had to deal with the goals of the Japanese too. Both the Germans and the Japanese were doing very cold experimentation, brutal governing and policies and both were 'racists' with ideologies that they were preserving themselves, etc. I believe even with Russia dealt with, they both would have spread themselves too thin and forces would have risen up to contend against them and sooner or later the U.S. had to get involved too. Also, the two were allies but their own agendas would have made things slippery. The war would have been even more bloody had the Japanese assisted with Russia, and there's a good chance Stalin and some others would have been taken out ending the Russian problem for a while, but I believe when it would all be said and done, both the Japanese and Germans would have been taken down too. The leaders were too menacing with their ideals for anyone to think they could remain safe elsewhere.
I don't believe corporal punishment should be used for criminals that can be held safely in prison for the duration of their lives. I do think some people definitely should never be given outs of prison as they are harms to society when free, but if they can be held in prison safely and live life there acceptably, I don't really see that we should be condoning someone else to kill those people. However, if someone is truly vile, is a person that simply cannot be held without endangerment of guards and other prisoners, well, I may have to debate the view of whether it should be used or not on these types of people. Most people, to include notorious serial killers, give up and figure the gig is over once they hit prison with a life sentence. Some are even pretty docile at that point. Psychiatrists can also analyze some of the more notorious people and others to get more understanding into what turns people out to be this way. There have been leaps and bounds made but there's still a ways to go. In the end, I feel that corporal punishment is really nothing short of revenge and that is not justice to me. If a person can be held safely and soundly and out of harm's way, then I think it should be done. If the person cannot be held as such and keeps harming/killing, well that person is one of the few and may have to be put out his/her misery as much as everyone else's. Of course, I do think some laws need revised that are letting rapists and murderers out early when there's a track record of repeats, but corporal punishment, though it ends the problem, also has killed innocent people as well as criminals. In my mind, killing 1 innocent is enough to say that it should be removed because no one deserves to lose life for a crime that was not committed. Reducing corporal punishment to those who screw up immensely in prison would save those people's lives too so if things come up later proving their innocence, they can get out and have some kind of life.
Hallo ~ How's it goin'?
You have a crush. This is a woman you could not get with and yet she is beautiful to you, smart, witty, cool, but you really don't know the real person. You really do not want to take this too seriously so that it brings you down. There will be girls out there that simply you cannot get with but they just are really interesting and awesome. Take it for what it is, which is a crush, and don't let it get to you so much. As for talking to your dad, you never know if he has not had similar feelings towards a teacher or someone. Even if he jokes about it, seriously, it is better to joke and share it than it is to feel that anyone should, including you, make this matter more than it does. Do not talk to the teacher. It makes the situation worse and puts her and you in an awkward situation. She can get in serious trouble if you go around saying you like her that way, or you may have to be switched out of the class if she feels uncomfortable around you. She is there to teach you the school lessons and that is going to be her focus. Crushes are normal but there are times it really is inappropriate to act on them other than admiring from a distance. Appreciate her and let her do her job because you don't want something bad to happen to someone you care about. In life, you are probably going to have other crushes too, which is normal. It's good to deal with it and get used to it. Heck, maybe it will help you since you are caring about her, to study the material more. xD
As other people suggested, exercise is a great way to get rid of some tension and anger. A healthy body helps to have a healthy mind. Teenagers all do go through hormonal periods where sometimes it just is going to seem like there's a lot of rage or depression or even over happiness etc. Try also taking a multivitamin. You may be low in iron or something and just taking a vitamin each morning or night can help you get lost minerals and such you may need and it can assist with the mood swings some. Try playing a video game where you can test yourself but not 'too much' so you don't just get frustrated at the game. This can get out some anger that is within and help you feel some relief and happiness when you succeed on levels and such. Try listening to some music and singing along to it at home. Or doing something like a hobby you can sink some time into. Maybe even try some task like going online for a recipe and bake something up. Get your parents to let you buy some kit you need to build something from like of a car or space ship or something like that. These kinds of things can relieve some tension while giving you something to think on and do that you have not tried before. Punch a pillow. It doesn't hurt the pillow and won't hurt you. That's for when you are really frustrated. xD Try meditating or just relaxing and thinking on what is bothering you. Try thinking after on some solutions for your dilemmas. Maybe even try writing out some of your issues so that you can deal with each thing one by one and make peace with things inside yourself. If you can break down things that frustrate you, it may help you to get over them easier. I hope any of our suggestions help you out and you get over this problem soon. It's a normal thing and will pass but it can take some time so doing some things meanwhile can assist you so you don't hurt yourself or anyone else as you go through the fun hormonal times.
Being the oldest sibling sucks, I totally agree. You -do- get blamed for everything that can go wrong pretty much with the younger ones and are the first one chosen to do most chores etc. However, it's not a reason to really be so miffed. Every position in a family has its ups and downs. You are 15 years old and well, I kind of don't see the reason you are so mad and that you say 'other kids' can do this or that. Some of them can't either, be assured. Parents that -care- are going to not want their 15 year old kid to go across the pond. That's a serious hefty trip there. I can't say if I had a 15 year old kid, I'd be so enthused on wanting a kid to travel so far away I could do nothing if something bad happened. As for taking a trip closer by to a nearby country... right now I think your parents don't feel you are mature enough for it. They may change their minds sometime if you give in a bit more and stop with the comebacks you have been giving them. You kind of have to show maturity to earn that status with your parents. Try helping out a bit more around the house and also don't complain about it. You show initiative, they may turn around on the closer trip if you talk to them. As for your younger sibling troubles... it seems to me that you in a way set yourself up for failure, because you are more rebellious and she is kind of a butt kisser xD. Saying 'I don't like the table' and your sister commenting that 'you don't like anything' suggests that you make these sort of candid comments more often than you feel you may. Did you think of how your parents might feel that you don't like what they think is really cool? Your sister did.. and she used it against you. Snapping back at the observation was the wrong choice to do. Instead, perhaps you should have taken the cold comment back you made and said something like 'alright, I hear your point'. It would shock her and your parents and maybe things would go better for you. It seems like you may just come off colder than you think you do and your family is kind of getting tired of it and reacting. Your parents are wrong to tell you that they'd pack your bags and boot you out. However, I think that you are frustrated but you are also not acknowledging your family's frustration with you right now as you spread your wings and kind of say some things and do some things that hurt them. You're all hurting one another, whether intending to or not. You have an attitude and want to do a lot of things, which is normal, and seem agitated with your sister and parents too much. They are definitely getting a solid attitude right back at you now. Who -started- what is hard to say, but this won't settle unless you do see your flaw in this, instead of just theirs. I would say it is time to seriously think on how you talk to your family members and that they are not the enemy. They are angry and so are you and communication and understanding is the key to fixing things. You have messed up here too and it is not just all on them. Love them, because believe me, there are worse families to be stuck with. Talk to them but first lose your temper and drop the front you have, because that is a defensive thing that others will take as an offense. Consider other people's feelings and your own together. You want things and down the road you will get them - a LOT - easier if you simply tone down some and participate as a team player in your family. I hope things get better for you. Hang in there and I'm sure some of what I've suggested and said, you may disagree with but if any of it helps, good luck!
In the end, all you can really do is try to come to terms with things and realize what happened, happened. Break ups, people stabbing each other in the backs, losing someone we cared about due to such.. it sucks but as much as it hurts, it is better to find out early that the person is just not 'the one' for you. There will be better later on. Accepting that the person is just not the right one is the best way I've found to making peace with it and letting the person go and to coping with the negative emotions such things evoke. I try to remember the better times I had with the person, but also I recall the reason I cannot let myself be stupid and keep caring the same way I did. Whether with a good friend or a girlfriend, I just have to know that sometimes people are better let to move on and there will be better people out there for me to associate and be close to who won't take things for granted. As I cope with the feelings, I try to do other things with other people that matter in life. A girlfriend is just one aspect to life and when young, relationships come and go often. Seldom does someone find the right person to want to spend a long time with when you are a teenager. People change dramatically with likes, dislikes, obsessions, cares and commitment between even adults vary and age is not a real indicator. However, many teens think that a relationship should be so serious and so it hurts dramatically when breakups happen because many others don't take it that way. Sadly, you have learned a lesson the hard way but it will prepare you to know what to look out for in the future if you were hurt because it wasn't just a straight up break up. There are people like that and it is best to avoid them. See the signs for what they are. There are great people out there too, that I'm sure you'll come to meet. As others said, time is a healer, but it is also meant to help us learn. Relationships are always a tricky thing when breakups happen and maybe down the road you will see things both of you could have done better or that the other person was just not straight out speaking with you and instead chose to do something very foolish. It's her loss in the end that she gave up something good and true. Try to not be too hard on yourself and the pain you feel shows you are a good person. You'll find someone else who is more like you in that regard and in other ways, sometime. Let your heart heal and do some other things in life that mean things to you. If nothing else means something to you, it is a good time to find other meaningful things in your life to do because no one should just be dependent on a relationship as their only joy in life. Give it a go and I wish you well and hope you feel better soon.
Can't deny I might peek since well someone was silly enough to leave it there and I'd be shocked that it -was- there in the first place. I wouldn't want to rummage through their email or anything like that because I do feel that's an invasion and I really am not a rubberneck or that super curious. Just perhaps see sites or something. In the end though, I'd wipe the memory because I wouldn't want to be violating someone's rights and I also wouldn't want to be suspected of foul play should something happen such as their site accounts/email etc were hacked. Also, I wouldn't feel secure knowing that I had someone else's crap on my computer I bought anyway, so it's going the way of the dodo.
It is not that easy guys and unfortunately this option cannot be changed. Going to close this since the answer is no.
Is it a Keyblade or a sword?
I can't decide either so I'll just be supernerd and buy both at the same time. xD
I lol'd. xD
It would be cool but I bet it would have the Baroness xD
Can't wait to see those. I miss your comics.
w00t \o/ want.
Just fine. Busy as usual. Hope you're doing well too. I'd have to say I prefer old Metallica over Megadeth but both are great. New Metallica is eh-eh. I do not know. >.> Honestly, it depends on what it is, who did the deed and the overall staff impression. Hmm.. Shot in the Dark Not -the- most ridiculous but it's up there and cool. Hitler, since I can understand German some and he'd be the easiest to kick his ass if I could get to him. Ever notice though that all 3 of these men are shrimps yet they caused so much damage? Newp Not that I know of. Not if I didn't want to get caught. You're my favorite spammer. xD I have missed you. David Hasselhoff. For the lolz.
You know it. xD How are you oing?
I was bored. Sometime I'll go back to Raepliku
I bought that too. Was good.
Never, Selene. xD
