This board teaches you, or at least taught me to think, very few people however want to do that.
The board, certainly does teaches a lot:

not only via technical historical points provided by people like yourself, Shek, OOE, Ray, Archer, KB, mr Lukins, Zraver and others and Dalem (for the LOTR lore among other things), but it also certainly teaches to keep one's leftism (in my case) in check by applying rightism in order to keep centered. But how do we keep ultra rightism in ourself (not in my case) in check???

I am really sad to say that certain ultra right wing opinion here or in America for that matter are very VERY much intune with the ideas of conservative Pasdaran in my own nation. Or in Quebec for that matter with the French and their hardline ideas. The samethings are being said by each sides, but with different words.

have a nice weekend
