Re: Andy is offended by potato famine jokes, but WWII jokes are totally hilarious!

Well, define "talking shit". I have zero problem criticizing the Russian Federation -- or any other country -- including my own. What's unfair is painting every citizen of that country with the same brush.

For example, the fact that Red Army forces raped 100,000 women and children in Berlin is awful, and is not excused by the fact that similar crimes committed by German forces in Eastern Europe. That fact doesn't entitle me to say, "Soviets were all rapists!"

Honestly, the more you look at WWII, the more you will find it was less of a struggle between good and evil and more of a struggle between greater evils and lesser evils.
