Junkyard Wars

Historians say that Russia really won World War II, because if they didn't win Stalingrad, and invaded all the way into Germany, the Axis would have easily won. <br><br>You know the Boston Massacre? When "the British troops opened fire on the US civilians"? That never really happened the way you think it did. What really happened, was the British troops were unloading a boat full of tea crates when US civilians were throwing rocks at them. After a while, the British troops got really mad and fired at them. It would have never happened if the Americans didn't throw rocks at them (and I think they threw oranges too). <br><br>Anyway, this thread is supposed to be about Junkyard Wars, so let's stick to that. Junkyard Wars is cool. My favorite ones would be flying stuff, and really big vehicles. Also catapults and guns. I don't know what my all-time favorite (ok ok, favourite) episode is. Does anyone here know what their favo(u)rite episode is?

pfft, we invented the word so shut the fuck up.

I enjoed a lot the drag race machines.

[Luciano U. Werner]

Oh, crap, it should have been enjoyed.

what happened at the boston massacre was drunken rowdy sailors saw a soldier.  They started throwing rocks and stuff so the soldier called for assistance.  They stood there taking rocks when they fired and killed 5 colonists...

[Luciano U. Werner]

Thanks. Now I know how it all really started.

uuuhhhmmmmm...sarcastic or no?

BAH!  Stop this rhetorical nonesense!<br><br>Boston Masacre:<br>-One could say the shot and killed civilians.<br>-One could counter that they were taunted into it.<br>-One could then say that the taunters were indeed taunted by the presence of militia.<br>-One could then counter that the militia was only there to stop the uprising.<br>-One could continue back that the uprising was based on unfair treatment and taxation...<br>Where it begins is imaterial to the context of the situation which is the desire for independence from a tyranical government.  So, stuff the poopie-academic-moral-equivalency garbage! <br><br>WWII:  Scholars and historians, for the most part, should stick to the facts and not try to come up with unfounded (and unprovable) results.  Russia beat no-one, mother nature combined with a penny-pinching hitler did.  One could argue that it was Normandy that won the war.  One could argue that it was Hitler's unwillingness to listen to Romel.  One could argue that it was Hitler's unwillingness to allow his Luftwaffe generals to do what they wanted to do.  (I have to stop the Hitler's Stupid Mistakes list, because it is too long).  One could even say that France won the war for us for letting the German's march into Paris unchallenge (PLEASE PLEASE someone say Maginot), which caused the German's to leave an occupying force that spread them out too thin.  What one cannot say is that the U.S. involvement did not directly and inseperably result in the victory over Europe.  Timing, distance, fast-ramp-up, and lack of war-weariness gave a natural advantage to the U.S.  I won't debate superior tactics and technology.<br><br>The best Junkyard wars, well my favorite (spelled correctly, only the sexually repressed put extra u's in their words), was the fire-fighting boats episode.  Centrifugal pump!  HA!  AND IT WORKED...to bad they lost.

Hmmm...I think I have been being too preahy lately...a new poll is in order.

[Luciano U. Werner]

The fact is, "we" won the war because Hitler was a cretin. If he had listened to Goebbles and Rommel (and a lot of others - his staff was very good, with some exceptions), we would be speaking german right now.

[Paul]

people say that but if you think about it, if he had won we probably wouldnt be here because our parents might never have met... they'd be speaking german though.

[Luciano U. Werner]

It wasn't Goebbels I was referring to. Like Himmler, Goebbels was a moron homo Führer ass licker. I meant the head of Luftwaffe, but for the life of me I can't remember his name right now.<br><br>And Paul, I think my parents would have met, because my great grandfathers came from Europe in 1900 or 1910.

[Paul]

why would they have met? i'm not saying they wouldnt be in the same country or whatever, but under nazi rule maybe the circumstances surrounding their meeting were different.... i dunno. jeez.
