@RobertT: Did you notice that you are the only one who also participated in one of the two previous “steampunk”-weekends? (NOV 2008: Challenge #311)
It’s very inspiring to see how you still manage to squeeze out more fun and wonderful entries out of BI every week!
That broken, yet, all your country’s threats don’t come into reality for another month, they’ve promised to make life hard for us, as have all their cronies, who used be also known as the axis of evil… Hence my fear of the rise of the far left Nazi’s again…
Haha, thanks, Helge!
Ah, how time flies!
Still lots of fun after all these years =)

I think that goes both ways. And if you ask me, most of it is just pre-brexit-negotiation ballyhoo. In the end everyone depends on each other in more than one way. Damaging each other just because of false pride? Maybe - but I hope not.
You lost me there - I’m having trouble seeing the connection.
North Korea, Iran, Iraq?
Germany, Italy, Japan?
I’d consider the “far left” the opposite of “Nazi’s”. But watching the “far right” and growing nationalism popping up all around the world is quite scary indeed. I just hope we’ll manage to learn from history and react before it is too late. Its is like RobertT’s entry from the “It’s probably not dangerous…” weekend. (And while we are at it: That is also the idea behind publishing an edited/commented version of Mein Kampf)
The National Socialist Party was far left, just like communism (Stalin n Great Purge, North Korea today), religion and all the other big mass murderers. Study history, its the left wing who swing to the far right to force others to become like them. EU’s response today to May’s speech, they going to send EU into recession to deter others leaving, no carrot, all stick, so glad we reacted before its too late to get off the great EU gravy train Clue for cronies, they like to veto… or be awkward as we call it…
Oh, sorry for no paragraphs, but this site not work very well without JS.
rarebit, start a thread in off topic if you want to discuss current world affairs and please stop hijacking the WEC thread.
Its topical lol
Bottom line Photox, I never violated a single artists title or subject, if the title wasn’t clear I didn’t take it upon myself to make one up, and as for fdo saying I don’t belong, well, I f’ing hate censorship, and I don’t live in a country where we can’t speak freely
This is not a case of censorship.
That being said, I didn’t even realize that your original title was ethnically charged, and in poor taste.
I have no words… - which actually is a good thing as I should have stopped writing about two days ago. 
I don’t care whatever title you choose. As long as it is legal and recognizable, I’m fine with it. However, the title wasn’t clear - and it still isn’t. So I used the filename (nato.png) you chose (which, from my point of view was the closest thing to an official title). Nothing has been made up.
[And so far you don’t seem to have much interest in having it replaced. ;-)]
You might be overreacting a little. fdo didn’t say “you don’t belong” - he was referring to the post (“that”). As said before, it wasn’t clear if your post really was an entry. It could very well just have been a provoking post to get into a ‘political discussion’ (which I don’t mind but the forum rules aren’t too happy about) or simply start a quarrel. Be that as it may, it is probably time to cool down - before we start loosing posts to moderation.
