Without looking it up, does anyone know (approx) how many people died as a result of WW2? or which 2 counties had the most casualties?

There were many reasons that the Allies prevailed in Europe. One of the most notable was the development of the P-51 Mustang. Besides being a formidable fighter, it had the range to escort bombers the full distance of their bombing runs. That fact led to the destruction of the Luftwaffe and gave the Allies control of European skies. After that it was just a matter of time until Allied bombers destroyed Nazi manufacturing & supply lines. Nazi tanks ran out of fuel. Nazi troops ran out of food and ammunition. Germany could no longer support their war effort. VE

Well, Italy was a major player in WW2, but the Fiat 500...I can't explain that piece of crap.

Most of the countries that are world leaders in modern heavy manufacturing were involved in WW2. For example...what countries today are the major manufacturers of automobiles? Pretty much all of them were major players in WW2. The most notable exception would be S Korea, who was involved in their own Korean war. Nothing causes manufacturing technology & capacity to advance like a war...unfortunately.

but, but, but I like my Sony

You are so sensitive. Fox news called him on it, and he apologized. That said, there are large cross sections of the US population that agree with his sentiment. One significant cross section is the majority of the US military.

I agree. There is no room for the truth in network news.

Japan attacked Pearl Harbor because they saw the US Pacific fleet as the major threat to theirs. Prior to that the US had little interest in entering the war. If Japan didn't attack PH, the US would't have entered the war until much later, if at all. Without US involvement Germany may have conquered most of Europe. The world would be much different today.

To keep it really basic (because I don't want to type that much). WW2 began when Germany attacked Poland in 1939. Within a few days Britain and France declared war on Germany. Germany had already been gearing up for war for years.

While I am also a connoisseur of titties and clits, it does represent a rather large shift in topic.

Well played

I'm not sure if I'm ready to see your scary battery things...lol

So you are guarding state revenue?

So, you're becoming more dependent on bicycle technology?

What is the legality of a hunting license? Technically speaking, does the State of Ohio own the deer?

As a general rule I don't make many electronic purchases at barber shops. When I was getting a haircut today a guy was riding one around sweeping up the shop. They had a stack of them in boxes in back.

No offense, but it strikes me as odd that a lawyer doesn't think that "motive" is a factor in categorizing a crime. What is the difference between involuntary & voluntary manslaughter...or murder? What makes something a hate crime? Motive is a major consideration. I get your point that at the end of the day 14 (or so) people are dead...so what is the difference? The difference for terrorism is how US Intelligence would attempt to identify, prevent, and counter.

The FBI uses this definition:"Terrorism is the unlawful use of force and violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives." The U.S. Department of State defines terrorism to be "premeditated politically-motivated violence perpetrated against non-combatant targets by sub-national groups or clandestine agents, usually intended to influence an audience". Motive is a huge factor. If it's a disgruntled employee, I would call it a mass murder. If it was part of a larger agenda, then I would call it an act of terror.

There is a barber shop on Lorain Rd by Barton that is selling them. Decent ones with Samsung batteries, not the flaming ones.
