Keep this kicked.

1. Operation paper clip was a name of a WW2 program.

I think it was about moving Nazi scientist to US positions in military.

Sounds like a history rewrite.

3. Nope it's true.

7. It is well done.

Here is the question.

I know it is a joke either by intent or by doing the very thing they criticize.


And although you may not know it, many that speak about Nazis, do the same things as them, and paint them as something else. They do not speak about how there mind sets were formed, or why they think in things like heritage defining a persons worth.

There are far more with that same belief, including many that speak about them without any context, that think like Nazis.


The irrelevance of the site is in conflict with the absurdity.

8. I didn't even check the link.

When I posted the paper clip thing, it was a solidarity issue. I was just looking through my DU journal for the posts, but apparently didn't journal them. But I found the thread that started it all, from 2005...
