By the way how's the N.R.A. doing, have they got any ethnic minorities to shoot, no..I mean in their ranks yet..

Ich bin ein Berliner.

I am a doughnut.

Na, the Limey's just wouldn't exept German as a language, it hasn't got that snap, that superior condesencion. Wait a minute, versehen sie, ein volke, ein faterland.. I think that's Prince Philip inspiring some foreign students..

Well, we Yanks may not manufacture anything but Chevies and software, but we HAVE got the market cornered on innovative ways to kill. Even if they happen to be our fellow countrymen......

No problem, matey. I've been to Germany many, many times and enjoyed every tour, finding the country organised and efficient where things work as they should, and the German people I've encountered nothing other than pleasant and polite with a refreshingly forward looking attitude to life.

Everything the UK is not, in fact.

Only thing i`m going to say is on balance and all things being equal , right now i`d prefer this country to be under direct German rule rather than governed by a collection of abysmally corrupt failed European politicians and the always divisive world bank

Without wishing to get into a UK vs US debate, I think it's more likely that we'd be looking for the Russian dictionaries!

If either the Nazis or the Russians had won the war, it would have been a terrible result for the Jewish people, after reading the diary of Anne Frank you realise theres only so long you can hide in an attic.

Now so many jokes have popped into my head concerning other places she could have hidden i`m actually having to force myself not to type them

No .... must ..... not ..... say those options ......will...... get ......banned.......

Anyway

If i could change history i`d change it to the colour black , as it would help the past look slimmer

I would change nothing. As bad as the recent past was it could easily have been worse. The idea that eliminating one or two individuals would seriously change 'world history' is, I am afraid, a delusion. We might of course, wish some dreadful events had not happened; but the force behind such events is rarely if ever simply individual or localised. In avoiding one peril an opportunity for another is thereby created.
