iDeltaVelocity 110 July 12, 2014 Share July 12, 2014 Star Wars original trilogy gets way too much praise, especially the Empire Strikes Back. The prequel trilogy, on the other hand, gets way too much hate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krampus 197 July 12, 2014 Share July 12, 2014 (edited) It doesn't need an explanation, unless you have a severe lack of knowledge of twentieth century history. That's not an explanation. Did you ever think that maybe I asked because I lacked certain knowledge and only wished to reduce my ignorance on the subject? Instead, you insult me and my intelligence, implying that everyone knows why this flag is offensive. If you're going to be this rude to curious minds, I recommend you don't bother answering posts like my original one. However, I am still curious why you think the Soviet flag is offensive, so I ask, with a little less niceness this time, EXPLAIN.

If you're going to be this rude to curious minds, I recommend you don't bother answering posts like my original one. However, I am still curious why you think the Soviet flag is offensive, so I ask, with a little less niceness this time, EXPLAIN. I'm actually sorry about that. It's a bad habit I have developed because usually anyone who asks is just trying to push their hipster ideologies on me and is perfectly aware of what happened. Stalin's policies caused millions of deaths by starvation alone. The Soviet Union was largely known for propaganda, authoritarianism, and secret police, which is offensive to anyone valuing political freedom. The Soviets occupied several countries through military force, violently suppressing protests. Although the USSR does deserve credit for helping to defeat the fascists, the Hitler-Stalin pact of 1939 should not be overlooked. Moreover, Stalin alone was responsible for an estimated 40 million deaths, more than Hitler, easily. It could be argued that I am only focusing on the atrocities of Stalin. This is fair but overlooks the Soviet suppression of political freedoms up until its demise. In the Soviet Union, you could be sent to the Gulag just for mocking a political official.

These include Union-wide famines in the early 1920s and early 1930s and deportations of ethnic minorities. Soviet diplomatic efforts removed the extermination of political groups from the United Nations Convention on Genocide. This left many of the Soviet atrocities outside the United Nations definition of genocide, because the atrocities targeted political or economic groups rather than the ethnic, racial, religious, or national groups listed in the UN convention." - Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genocides_in_history#Soviet_Union "Due to the appearance of the foreign radio stations broadcasting in Russian and inaccessible for censorship, as well as appearance of a large number of shortwave receivers, massive jamming of these stations was applied in USSR using high-power radio-electronic equipment. It continued for almost 60 years. Soviet radio censorship network was the most powerful in the world. All information related to radio jamming and usage of corresponding equipment was considered a state secret. On the eve of the 1980 Olympic Games in Moscow the Olympic Panorama magazine intended to publish a photo with a hardly noticeable jamming tower located in the Fili district. Despite the photo being made from a public place it was approved for publication only after the tower was cut from it. One more way to limit Soviet citizens in access to outer information was the control over the production of receivers with frequency range shorter than 25 meters. Receivers with those ranges were primarily exported and were sold very rarely within the country." - Wikipedia (An example of Soviet censorship) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_in_the_Soviet_Union Sig made by Kyoshi. Cool things people have said about me: Never heard of him but I guess just you mentioning him is a good reason not to go anywhere near that name. (In reference to an author I suggested.)

Panne 1,342 July 12, 2014 Share July 12, 2014 @ There's her kind side, then theirs her shy side. Two aspects of one personality. Oh yeah. Kindness, that kind of gets overshadowed by her shyness a bunch. But yeah Rarity is my favorite pony. I just hate how the fanbase will call her out the instant she isn't 100% generous. I am an extremely generous person, I will drop $60+ on people I barely know just because, but I will put my generosity on lock down if I am being taken advantage of, see something I want, or just don't feel like using my resources on your desires. I get yelled at for that all the time, "You gave $30 dollars to me the other day so why can't you lend me more today?" "Maybe because you are turning into a leech off of my initial gift and I actually went out and worked for that money myself." or "Maybe because those $30 will be going to something that I want. You got what you wanted last week so I get something for myself every once and a while." 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that you for whatever reason, you never acted on those ideas, you never pursued that dream, you never used those talents, we never saw your leadership, you never used your voice, you never wrote that book. And there they are standing around your bed looking at you with large angry eyes saying "We came to you, and only you could have given us life! But now. We must die with you FOREVER!
