Don't tell me you're one of these who will be paying off student loans for the next 25 years or sth? :p

No, I’m smart. California is paying for my first year of education. Next year will cost me $1,500. The next 2-3 years after will cost me around $15,000-25,000 I’m afraid. I should be able to pay off loans rather easily (if I ever need any). I just finished my first semester with 27/30 credits (most students have 15-18 after their first semester). I need about 120-140 for a bachelors degree. I’m on track for 4-4 1/2 year graduation.

Well might as well throw this day away :(. Woke up to “The Nazis” being the number 1 trending thing on Twitter. Really don’t want to know why, just going fast-forward through today.

 

I felt important when I had Tony Schaffer respond to my facts. :lol: 

Oh, the good old "The Nazis were Socialists" debate. We pretty much just had it in Denmark :p

What did the second D stand for in DDR? :p

Putting Socialist (well Sozialistische) in the name doesn't make a party socialist. Hitler even left the party shortly due to them cooperating with the Socialists and he fought the people (The Strasser-brothers and others) who wanted the party to be more socialist.

They also imprisoned way more Socialists than other political officials.

And Dinesh D'Souza has joined the discussion. The Christmas entertainment is here! (for me there are only a few better thing than Kevin Kruse (and other historians) tearing him apart :p)

You're the idealist and I'm a cynical realist. That never matches well. I told you that once you reach a certain age, you'll drop the idealistic BS. I've crossed that river already :hatoff:

@Olympian1010 - Do not worry, if you go the same way in life I do (which seems you do so far), you won't cross it at least until the 25 years, so still a lot of idealistic time for you.

No surprise here, KPD was outright communist party, SPD represented the Weimar Republic which Hitler hated. Obviously they both were doomed once Hilter became the Chancellor. Strasser was a victim of in-house NSDAP power struggle similar to Trockiy in Soviet Union.

    • Team Challenge   The theme for this years team challenge will be counties in the UK. For equal representation, I have selected at least 1 county for each of the 4 main countries that make up the UK. The 7 selected counties where drawn into each of the 7 teams.    The draw result:      Here is a little factfile on each of the 7 counties:    Team Merseyside Rank # Total 0 0 0 0 0 0   Merseyside is an English county located in the North West region of the UK. It's biggest settlements include Liverpool, Southport St Helens and Birkenhead. Merseyside is know for it's music and sport, with bands like The Beatles and The Coral and clubs like Everton and Liverpool all coming from the county.     
    • Team Challenge   For this years team challenge every country will be split up into 7 groups of 5. Now if  don't have to be withdrawn then every team members points will count, but if they do then only the top 4 team members results. After 10 votes the team with the least amount of points is eliminated, after that a team will be eliminated after every 5 votes.    The teams were drawn automatically using a random draw generator. All the countries were split into 5 different pots based off the all time ranking medals list followed by the participations list.     Pot 1 Pot 2 Pot 3 Pot 4 Pot 5 France New Zealand China Argentina Albania Canada Czech Republic Hungary Bulgaria Chile Great Britain Denmark Malta Tunisia Guatemala Ireland Lithuania Mexico Greece Indonesia Italy Serbia Brazil India Turkey Netherlands Spain Romania Poland Moldova Sweden United States Slovenia Slovenia Portugal   The Draw Results:     
    • In terms of the first table, there were 2 clubs missing that are/could be apart of the Professional/Semi Professional English League system.    The first are the Wigan Warriors (club logo above), they play in Super League (1st Division) and are the defending back to back Super League champions. Not quite sure how I forgot to add them, but somehow I did.    The second are the Bedford Tigers (club logo above). They originally weren't set to join the system from non league but there are strong rumours that they are now set to join League 1 (3rd Division), replacing the aforementioned Cornwall.
