Hello,

When i click on "edit avatars"i get this text:
"Do not use an avatar

My reason for calling you a racist, racist, was based on you calling all German grandparents Nazis. Asshole.

Yes, it is actually quite understandable for people to get flak when they jump into a forum and do the same...

ero;1327']1.Stealing is not nice => USA, give the red indians back their whole country that u stole from them!

To begin with, I personally take offense with this ^^^^

The so called "red indians" were not the first inhabitants of North America, they "stole" the land too, so kick them the hell out too. And we would all just come back to Europe (to personally kick your ass, I would hope). And I am quite sure that the land you are living on did not belong to your ancestors either, at some point. So I guess we should all get the hell off the planet and leave it for the dinosaurs...

I stand up for all the native neutrons and electrons in this country! Who will voice their opinion?

When will Quarks and Leptons get their land back?! I demand to know!

If you're looking for a place that's been invaded, Britain is the place to be. Anglo-Saxons, Normans, Vikings, Romans, to name but a few. Look at the language you're speaking - English is one of the most (if not the most) bastardized, rich and expressive languages in the world for this very reason. It's a mish-mash of all of the appropriated languages of people that invaded.... However there is no outcry of "Give Britain back to the Scandinavians!", simply because the Vikings once inhabited Britain.

Ok, that's your opinion.
Now i tell U my opinion: For me it would be totally inacceptable if for example some German people come to USA, would then kill most people of USA without any real reason, and then would take the USA country of USA...and would totally insist that it is now their own country.
Lets say my example would happen exactly now! I don't think then everyone in the usa would be so cool and would say afterwards after many years, well, it happened many years ago, we should not outcry that they stole our usa country and we should not outcry that we want our country back.

Know your German history.... your "people" are no better and have actually been much worse (100BC-800AD as follows... I can plagiarize more if you need it, and I think we are all affiliated with what happened more recently, the only thing that stopped you is that you lost) :

The ethnogenesis of the Germanic tribes is assumed to have occurred during the Nordic Bronze Age, or at the latest, during the Pre-Roman Iron Age. From southern Scandinavia and northern Germany, the tribes began expanding south, east and west in the 1st century BC, coming into contact with the Celtic tribes of Gaul as well as Iranian, Baltic, and Slavic tribes in Eastern Europe. Little is known about early Germanic history, except through their recorded interactions with the Roman Empire, etymological research and archaeological finds.[6]

Under Augustus, the Roman General Publius Quinctilius Varus began to invade Germania (a term used by the Romans running roughly from the Rhine to the Ural Mountains), and it was in this period that the Germanic tribes became familiar with Roman tactics of warfare while maintaining their tribal identity. In AD 9, three Roman legions led by Varus were defeated by the Cheruscan leader Arminius in the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest. Modern Germany, as far as the Rhine and the Danube, thus remained outside the Roman Empire. By AD 100, the time of Tacitus' Germania, Germanic tribes settled along the Rhine and the Danube (the Limes Germanicus), occupying most of the area of modern Germany. The 3rd century saw the emergence of a number of large West Germanic tribes: Alamanni, Franks, Chatti, Saxons, Frisians, Sicambri, and Thuringii. Around 260, the Germanic peoples broke through the Limes and the Danube frontier into Roman-controlled lands.[7]

After the fall of the Western Roman empire the Franks created an empire under the Merovingian kings and subjugated the other Germanic tribes. Swabia became a duchy under the Frankish Empire in 496, following the Battle of Tolbiac. Already king Chlothar I ruled the greater part of what is now Germany and made expeditions into Saxony while the Southeast of modern Germany was still under influence of the Ostrogoths. In 531 Saxons and Franks destroyed the Kingdom of Thuringia. Saxons inhabit the area down to the Unstrut river. During the partition of the Frankish empire their German territories were a part of Austrasia. In 718 the Franconian Mayor of the Palace Charles Martel marked war against Saxony, because of its help for the Neustrians. The Franconian Carloman started in 743 a new war against Saxony, because the Saxons gave aid to Duke Odilo of Bavaria. In 751 Pippin III, mayor of the palace under the Merovingian king, himself assumed the title of king and was anointed by the Church. The Frankish kings now set up as protectors of the Pope, Charlemagne launched a decades-long military campaign against their heathen rivals, the Saxons and the Avars. The Saxons (by the Saxon Wars (772-804)) and Avars were eventually overwhelmed and forcibly converted, and their lands were annexed by the Carolingian Empire.

Why is it so horrendous to happen in the USA but not in the UK?

As i can read minds your intension of your statement is correctly, it would be obviously same horrendous if it would happen in the UK or whatever else country.
(But i did choose USA just as a concretely example as my signature is about USA, too. In order to make it for the USA guys easier to be able to relate that not outcrying "we want our USA country back" wouldn't be at all easy)

Edit:

Know your German history.... your "people" are no better and have actually been much worse
Btw, when some people of you read this quote and if they would think that i stated that German people were better in their history than USA people, then its wrong. As i never did a statement which of these countries behaved more worse in their history.

[CannonBallGuy]

Then, please add a similar line to your sig referring to the UK...
Oh, and every other country ever invaded too. That would make me happy.

[z[h]ero]

Situation changed. (Was speaking with someone about my signature and was thinking what to do best...and i noticed your comment cbg)
There...the new sig (u won't believe it...)

Btw, just makes me really really scary, that the result/conclusion of the story is, that if a country manages to invade/absorb another country, (if this process is completely finished more or less) then at this moment there seems no point of return!!! It would mean that the invaded original country with its original people would have at this moment lost! Makes me really scary. And no justice/right will change the situation, even not afterwards?!
Sure, nowadays some countries watch what happens in the world, that's a positive difference in contrast to the situation of some hundred years ago...
Anyway, still too scary...and hard to accept...

(Sure, its an abstract statement here, real situations depend on many things)

I'd like to see some support for these statements. Do you have any references, links, or documentation to back these up? As far as we know it could be 1 million people looking at pron ever second.

Exorcists:
http://www.dittes.info/blog/2006/03/17/der-exorzist-des-papstes-es-gibt-satan-wirklich/:
"Es gibt heute etwa 200 vom Vatikan zugelassene Exorzisten. Da es in den Exorzismusgebeten teilweise um direkte Ansprache von Dämonen geht, wird Laien stark vom Gebrauch derselben zu abgeraten: ..."

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exorzismus:
"Exorzismus heute: Unter Papst Benedikt XVI. und seinem Vorgänger Johannes Paul II. wurden und werden Exorzisten ausgebildet. Im Jahre 2003 wurden in Italien ca. 200 Priester als Exorzisten bestellt."

Smoking:
http://www.krebsgesellschaft.de/rauchen_schwanger,1058.html
"Medizinische Folgen:
Rauchen hat vor, während und nach der Schwangerschaft messbare medizinische Folgen. Vor der Schwangerschaft verringert es die Fruchtbarkeit von Mann und Frau, sodass Raucherinnen durchschnittlich länger auf ein Baby warten müssen. In der Schwangerschaft schadet es dem Kind und führt zu mehr Fehl- und Frühgeburten. Und nach der Schwangerschaft schließlich erhöht es das Risiko für verschiedene Krankheiten.
Nach der Schwangerschaft: Die Gefahr bleibt
Auch nach der Geburt bleiben Kinder von Raucherinnen starken Gefährdungen ausgesetzt: Ihr Risiko am plötzlichen Kindstod zu sterben, ist doppelt so hoch wie das der Kinder von Nichtraucherinnen. Dabei scheint auch das Rauchen von Menschen in der Umgebung des Kindes eine Rolle zu spielen."
