Heya. I found myself arguing on the forum, and was using the "U.S. provoked
Germany" argument that I'd used when debating with you so many moons ago,
and I thought of you. So I thought I'd drop by and drop a line, as it
were.
Quote by Shinsengumi89Lord Stphon
thank you for your posts don't insult me, if you can tell me what religon the
founding fathers were and if you get it right good for you if you get it
wrongyou have no right to critize me.
This clearly illustrates my point; knowing does not equal
understanding.
Knowing random facts about history (of which I know many) is not the same as
understanding them and their significance. There are lots of things I don't
know, but knowing one little datum like the Founding Fathers religious beliefs
doesn't change the fact that I understand what Presidents like Roosevelt and Wilson accomplished
and how it affects history in many ways.
You, by focusing on certain, fairly unimportant points (using Wilson's racism to
try to lessen his accomplishments, for example), do not.
I'm aware of this. I said as much in my first post in your Russia thread.
However, that doesn't change the fact that the government and parliament are
dominated by United Russia (effectively Vladimir Putin's political party), and
power has been concentrated in the office of the President, at the expense of
both the Russian Federal Assembly and the Subjects.
Putin governs Russia in an effectively autocratic manner. You will note that
terms like "dictatorship" and "autocratic" are neutral
terms; being a dictator doesn't make someone a bad leader in and of itself, but
that doesn't mean they aren't dictators.
Hey, Shinsengumi! After coming by for some reason, I noticed that you have now
been at MT a full year. Congratulations on your first MT anniversary, and for
making the most of that year here and rising in such brilliant fashion so
quickly.

is the original from the AusAnime galleries[/url].
I was afraid of something like that. =/
Oh well. Thanks for pointing me to where it came from. Now it gets to
impersonate the Berlin Wall.
On the plus side, I have a new place to take walls to add to my collection, so
it's not entirely negative. I can thank
you for that, too, Tama. =p
Hey Innate. Thanks for the comment and favs. You get guestbook spam in honor of
the Astros beating the Braves today.
P.S.: lol flatfish

I am commenting in your guestbook for some reason, though I don't quite know
why. Perhaps to see how long it takes for you to notice.
I am happy. My Astros just eliminated the Braves to move on to the nlcs. In
honor of this awesometastic event, and the fact that I went on a bit of a
submission spree today, I am spamming your guestbook, with others to follow. =D
Hey. Thanks for pointing out what gallery that scan belongs in. I greatly
appreciate it. It gave me the chance to check further for duplicates, of which I
found none.
I'm in your guestbook, saying hi and Happy New Year.
This guestbook is so barren. I'll hel alleviate that by saying thanks for the comment you left on that Suigintou scan I submitted.
You've been nice enough to thank me for comments I've left on scans you've submitted; not I get to do the same for you. =D
I thank you for thine comment in mine guestbook.
I approve of this. More Suigintou is always a good thing. =D
Hey Iec.
I'm in ur guestbook, fillin' it with spam.

I love what you've done with this place.
Say, MM; is this the Girls Bravo artbook in question? If so, I may have to invest in a copy. Thanks again for all your contributions. =D

Oh hey. Getting back to you finally for the previous guestbook comment.

Also, Merry Christmas.
I see you're back. How was your board vacation?
Heya Tangela. Thanks for the comment + fav on the PPD scan. Also, it's good to see you've gotten people other than me to comment in your guestbook.
Guestbook post #200 ftw
As I quadruple-post to say thanks for favs and comments, I note that things are proceeding according to plan.
Also, you should do a lot more commenting and get other people to drop by to say thanks for comments and favs. Seriously.

Thanks again. See you around~.
Memories Off 5, eh? I wonder how many of those games they'll make.
Thanks for the game link and info, and for all the scans you have and will continue to share. =D
