What?
I have no idea what this has to do with grams and smoking but yes of cause it was. At least in WW1 and WW2.
Looking at WW2, I'm not sure if you would say the Vichy French was German controlled, they were more of an independent allies of the AXIS powers. But I'm not to familiar on how they operated politically. All the goings on between the French leaders at that time tended to be self serving and confusing, at least for someone like me who is not up on the French Politics of that time frame

Did you misquote by mistake?

But they are in many ways the same. Concentration camps and slave labour aside how are they any different?

And it wasn't just Germany that did this to their Jews. Occupied France gave up theirs voluntarily. Russia was arguably just as bad as Germany also. But that's a different argument?

Why do you relate to what I'm saying only to Germany, in particular to Poland? Are not the Jews in other countries, for that matter anyone else who were persecuted at the time by the Germans like Homosexuals, slavs, communists and Gypsies just as important?

O..back in that thread.
Yes Occupied France did indeed voluntarily give up their Jews. I think Uncle buck adds later in that thread something like; allot of the occupied countries did indeed voluntarily give up their Jewish population.
Its something allot of people don't know.

Are you saying that the French people in German occupied France didn't voluntarily give up the Jewish population?

Don't you think that Politics should be kept in the Politics section? No need to de rail this thread by a weird quote on another topic. Feel free to debate what the French did or didn't do in the thread I brought it up in. Has more context that way.

A Nazi propagandist would call it voluntary. However the rest of us recognize a single-option choice as one of the most dishonest instruments of oppression.

But that reasoning doesn't take into account that the French themselves largely ruled France, especially in the rural areas. With some German guidelines of cause (none mentioning the rounding up of the Jewish population). It also doesn't take into account that the Russians, under Stalin were also rounding up their Jews. I'm not sure If Italy did but again they were not under German rule. The Russians were certainty not Nazis (some would argue they were worse).
America also sent back Jewish refugees, in some cases to their deaths under the Nazis. There was obviously a Nazi element in America at the time (trying in the main to keep America neutral) But I wouldn't call the turning back of Jewish refugees a Nazi act although in hindsight it was certainly a bad decision by the politicians at the time.

Saying that France had no choice negates Frances actions at this time. They most certainly did have a choice and choose to voluntarily round up and turn over the Jewish population. Saying they didn't condones their actions.

The same argument (I had no choice or I was ordered to do it) didnt work for those facing charges in Nuremburg by the way.

We've been having some unseasonably warm weather this year. I've been averaging about $500 each busking session (less than 5 hours) in December. I went out last Saturday for a new record of $517.23! Gonna get out there for one nice last day tomorrow, let's see if we can keep up this trend. Merry xmas to me ;)

1) They called it occupied France for a reason. Vichy France was a puppet state and a territory of the Third Reich. The directives were all German.

1a) While the rural French hold a dim view of Jews and non-Catholics in general, they didn't have an organized state-sponsored antisemitic program in place before Paris fell. The Germans did.

2) Stalin rounded up everybody. More Ukrainians died as a result of his actions than Jews. Again the incidental antisemitism prevalent in much of prewar Europe. The USA also had its share of antisemites, some in positions of power, as the refusal to let the St. Louis dock here proved. Antisemites need not be Nazis.

3) You also speak of France as if it were an entity capable of deciding and acting as a "person". I am certain that there were as many unannounced acts of heroism and kindness (e.g. concealing Jews from the German authorities) as there were more tabulable acts of betrayal. I note that personalizing a group is a classic tool of the demagogue.

I am curious as to why you seem to be apologizing for the German policy of exterminating Jews. While they weren't the only active antisemites, Germany's plans and deeds in this regard raised the massacre of Jews to levels of intensity and efficiency not even approached by any other society. You are working to dilute that core fact, and I do not know what your dog is in this hunt. That you have one though is beyond honest dispute.
 
So I didn't hide the Elf's last night, momma did. I wake up at 4:45 this morning to get my day started and

Smack my head on this Elf, literally hanging from the ceiling by string.

Then when I go for some toilet paper to blow my nose, this contraption started playing Christmas music.

Lol....pretty surprising when I'm still basically asleep. As soon as the toilet paper roll started playing jingle bells. I get a text from momma that says ((LOL)), I'm thinking it's time to prank her and the kids real good. I've gotta refresh their memory on who's the king of pranks in this household. Oh, and momma actually brought up the car not having gas with a big smile.

I'm thinking something innocent like motor oil in her coffee, you know good clean harmless fun.



Morning guys and gals
 
All Christmas presents must be stolen from under the tree and hidden in a “hot and cold” scavenger hunt. Sit upon your throne giving orders whilst the peons desperately search for their loot.

Make sure you put a small, empty, wrapped cardboard box into the toilet.
 
After hearing you can cook cake in a microwave I had to try it. The base chocolate cake recipe i used wasn't very flavorful, the butter cream frosting took care of that, but it was surprisingly most and fluffy. Normal prep time, then 2 minutes to cook, 3 minutes to cool.
I think with some tweaks it'll work.

So I now have 4 uses for a microwave, melting stuff, heating water, cooking lobster and cake. Remember when the microwave was supposed to replace an oven?
