Hello from Germany

[idb]

You would like Honecker -he spied the population of the GDR! It called Stasi - it's like NSA. Fortunately for me, I was born in West Germany! Spying without a court order is prohibited in here!
But what's about Stalin? Occupying power of GDR! I didn't suffer under any tyrant - not even under Hitler, but my grandparents did!

No problems choosy...I think we might be losing something in translation.

I think it is funny that Two Thumbs is telling you, a German, that Obama is a tyrant.
Your country knows what a real tyrant looks like.

Two Thumbs hates Obama so much that he has to use a really bad word for him.

Tyrants rule by force or coercion.

If you don't by ins you are fined, that's coercion.

If you don't join the aca, there's an 85% chance your hc policy will be cancelled.



See how I'm using facts?

Hitler, Stalin, etc, were ruthless, murderous tyrants.

obama is just a tyrant.

No, you're using hyperbole.

incorrect

Force is the tool of tyrants

we are forced to either join aca or get fined


would me using 'petty tyrant' make you feel better?

Tyrant is not a worse word in Germany. Sometimes we call children little tyrants and we not think on Stalin or Hitler ... Mass murderer and dictator!

Dear idb
What's your word in english for people who forced you (without violence!!!) to do something you don't want to do? That could be a child to have some sweets in the Supermarket or your boss who always compels you to make overtime! You know what I mean?

A 'manipulator', possibly choosy.

Hello, choose, and welcome. Now we are three. Germanguy is not that busy here, but I am here regular. Germanguy is not the best friend of mine as well, hopefully you and me will not have the issues, Germanguy and me had on another board.

Do you know [MENTION=19535]L.K.Eder[/MENTION]?

When you are on the streets of Germany, say hi to him for me, OK?

Hello choosy,
Glad to have you onboard.
As a French I absolutely agree with your sentiment for Bush, even though I usually dig bushes.
Cheers!
