[QUOTE=Argent Towers] So I guess the French Resistance should have just given up and surrendered to the Nazis, instead of even trying. [/quote] That’s not what I was saying. Maybe I poorly expressed myself. I don’t think so, though. > [@](#): > > You come from a country that has firsthand experience with being dominated by Nazi assholes. I’m sure if you ask your grandparents if they’d wished they had a gun in the house during the days of the Nazis, the answer would be yes. I wouldn’t have to go as far back as my grandparents to ask about the Nazis if the people involved were still alive. My father fought in WWII and ended up the war in Gross-Rosen. As for my grand father, he found the guns he needed. They came to hang him. Didn’t find him. They hanged someone else. And this is, for a non-insignificant part, why I wrote what I wrote. ---

Well, if they come to hang me, and they DO find me, I’d rather be armed than not. Even if the rest of the population is ready to surrender - I’ll be fucked if I let them drag me off. I am not going to disgrace all the people before me who died fighting against tyranny, by failing to rise to the occasion. ETA: You Frenchmen, you are great fighters and you always have been. The people who say the French are cowards, are idiots. You come from a people with a tremendous military history. The only thing you need, is more confidence and less of that negativity. ---

[QUOTE=clairobscur] You’ll tell me that again when they’ll come. Then, I’ll believe you. [/QUOTE] Well, I’m not just going to sit in my house and wait for them. I’m going to run and hide. With a rifle. I’ve got family who went to the gas chambers. It’s not going to happen again. My great grandfather killed a Russian policeman who was trying to loot his house in a Pogrom. He was able to go into hiding and then get over to America. Were it not for that one man with a rifle, I wouldn’t be here. Look, my dad was giving me books about the Polish partisans when I was 8 years old. There isn’t a soul on this earth who is going to sway me here. Not a chance. ---

[QUOTE=Shodan] But he’s not a troll - he really means it. Plus he’s useful. He says what some are thinking but who are too housebroken to say themselves.

Nah. I wish we had the capability of banning posters from specific forums though. **DT** is actually very well-informed and has excellent taste in **CS**. It’s just here and in **GD** that he turns into mega-asshole. ---
