Whatever the motive: Between Stalin (including his purges) and him, they managed to depopulate Europe by about 100 million people in ~15 years. Two whackos in power involving themselves in an all out racial and war to gain additional lands was not good. Wb 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DizRotus 7508 Posted November 18, 2019 Amazon reminded me today of a lawyer joke. A little old lady consulted a young attorney to have a simple will prepared to disburse he meager estate among charities. He told her it would be $300. She pulled some bills from a purse and handed him $300. After she left, he discovered that two bills were stuck together, making $400, rather than the $300 owed. This created a terrible dilemma for the struggling young attorney. … … … … … Should he share the windfall with his partner, or keep it to and for himself? Amazon reminded of this joke when they sent an email advising me of a refund for an item I had not returned. I called and told them the refund was an error, but I also told my partner.

veloceleste 315 Posted November 25, 2019 I work in a K-8 school and hear teachers of the younger kids using the phrase "use your words" a lot so this struck me as funny yet a little sad because the reply from the child these days may not be too far from reality. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
