Well said. The Roman justice system did sentence Jesus to capitol punishment. However it was only at the insistance of a small group of Jews. Pilot would have rather let Jesus go free, but he was afraid the jewish leaders would incite a riot. The multitudes (jewish masses) were in favor of Jesus. He fed the hungry and healed the sick. He did not judge the prostitutes and common sinners.
He did however accuse the jewish leaders of hypocracy. Acting "holy" and being secretly wicked. That's why they wanted him dead.
To the poster: So I assume that you are mad that the "Jews" killed christ? Read your bible.
He laid down his life willingly. When the "police" came to the garden of gethsemini to arrest him, he asked "who is it that you seek?" They responded "Jesus" and he said "I Am he"
They fell on the ground. He went by choice.
Had Jesus not been crucified, we could not recieve the free gift of salvation. Every year the Jews would sacrifice a lamb with no blemish for the forgiveness of their sins. Jesus was the Perfect Lamb, and ended the sacrifice once and for all. The former was a shadow of the latter.
No, American's were NOT the only ones who took part in WWII.
France - Waved the white flag when someone flug a butter knife in the direction of their border.
Poland - Meant well but caved in under ongoing onslaught.
USSR - Fought hard and well, but not until it was threatened. Before that, didn't give a shit.
Italy - Flounced to the Wrong Side. Oopsy.
Japan - (See above)
Britian - Did what they could, held their own abroad but got stomped like a narc at a biker rally by bombings.
United States - Entered the war late, ran the nazi's into the sea, saved the planet (Second time, at the time) then stood back while others tried to bask in our glory (second time at the time) - Made some mistakes afterwards, like allowing Germany and Japan to rebuild.
No, Americans Were NOT the only ones involved in WWII - but we were the ones who mattered mostly.
i would have to say though that if not for the US, the nazis and the japs would have prevailed everywhere except maybe russia and eastern europe.
its not that others like the brits or the polocks didnt fight hard and bravely. but they'd all be speaking german now, or not speaking anything, if not for the US. and that's hard to dispute.
The us played a relatively small part in the war against germany.
70% of all germans who ever saw battle saw it in the east.
In the east was where the real war was.
And even amongst the allies, the us only accounted for some 50% or so.
Allied 'contribution' was mostly in the form of flying over german cities and butchering civilians indiscriminately.
You guys should have seen photos of german cities in may 1945, they had been completely annihilated.
Every single freaking house bombed.
You can just imagine the loss of life when such horror is taking place.
And the hypocrisy when americans "rub in germans face how much they have helped them".
"There's that "American attitude" that makes other country's hate us so."
"I'm proud of America and it's achievements, but I think America would be a much better country if those with such arrogance would lose it and learn a little humility."
I really hate to be on the opposite side of yours yet again, Stargirl, but...
The sad FACT of the matter is, at this point Most of the other countries who hate us (And/or are jealous of us and want our stuff) WILL Hate us, regardless. The muslim world, in their little 3rd, 4th and 5th world SEGA FIRST PERSON SHOOTER of shithole countries, for example, Are going to Hate us no matter WHAT we do.
No matter How much aid we give to other places in that region.
No matter how much Humanitarian relief we provide.
No matter how much we - as a nation - spread our cheeks to appease them.
They will still hate us, attack us and do everything in their power to bring the USA back to their 9th century vision of what the world should be like. As a woman I wouldn't want to live in a society where the laws of God (HA! Allah? I've always thought that KILLING for GOD was sort of like FUCKING for VIRGINITY) and man allow that I be stoned to death for a variety of offenses, or if my owner/husband just gets tired of me.
Would you?
So, with all that in mind, does it really MATTER if we are arrogent (PROUD) of the fact that, at this point in time, we lead/rule the world? I mean, if they hate us A Little More - uhm, so what?
Sorry, but your argument reads something like: If we are nice and don't complain much, maybe they will beat us with the WOODEN bat and not the METAL one.
Me? If violence must be committed on a society Must be committed, I believe that it is Far better to Give than to Receive.
We DO rule the world (realistically) for now. In about one to two hundred years it will most likely be the Japanese or Chinese and we will be like Great Britian. For now though, instead of bending over to every swarthy pigdog in the mid east we ought to be PROUD that we are on top.

yea so eliminating certain races or ethnic groups of people is the right thing to do,sounds like totaltarism to me.give me a break.maybe if people worried more about their own contry instead of everyone elses,than you could fix your problems,and stop blaming everyone else.
Quite frankly, I don't think that any of the lot has done the world any good.
Every denomination thinks that their religion is the right one. The Jews included. I don't think that any of them are the right one. I consider the Buddhists a fairly sane religion as it is more inward although I do not practice it.
Hitler was an animal not a human being.
The Romans AND the Jews killed Christ. Christ was a Jew. Christ was also a figurehead for a political body that had but one objective. The downfall of the Roman Empire.
I don't mean to dis' Jesus, but I think the Christian religion is perhaps the biggest con ever pulled on mankind so far.
Putting all the religious stuff aside,because i do feel it necessary to have religious freedom,which i'm not saying you dont,but I believe in God.i dont walk around toting a bible,or tell people if they dont bow down and praise god for every breath they take,they'll go to hell either.i kind of agree with you,but still i dont get why Hitler and his party said they wanted to rid the jews b/c "they crucified" jesus or what not.I mean seriously what religion did the nazi party have to care about that? couldn't they have come up with a better excuse??

Then you'd be dead.
The silly little sign painter never had a clue about what happens when you FUCK with Americans.

little known fact - the elderly hitler was the true inventor of "post-it" notes back in 1967.
70% of all germans who ever saw battle saw it in the east.

Best to get rid of most of them and keep the ones left tightly in control.
Earth would be better for it if there were more Plants.

Everyone has a choice of what to hate. No one is pointing a gun to their head.
go kill yourself.
