I know, I can’t find it. I think it was after the segment where he goes into driving styles of other people that piss him off…specifically, using them to shoot out oncoming cars’ bright headlights for those uncourteous assholes that never switch down to low beam…
you may be thinking of PERVATIN…i believe there is more in on that at dererstzug.com
also, i cant stand who mope around while the “shop”…an ex boss gave some good advice during a meeting at work once “walk with a purpose”

As many troops know losing limbs is not a particular hindrance, indeed two lads from Para Reg returned to duty in the Afghan after losing legs then training themselves up to Reg stds.
But then they ‘only’ lost one limb.
Tom Neathway went that ‘little further’ as the lads on their way to Samarkand are wont to say.
As to whether it will impede your chances on a motorcycle, ask Dave Barr late of both the USMC and SADF.
First of all, it’s amazing to see how these people managed to get back ‘on their feet’. I have nothing but respect for them.
And as for the amputation as punishment: Just don’t give them prosthetic legs.
That would work, after all Douggie Bader’s captors threatened to take his ‘tin legs’ away as he kept escaping !
On the other ‘hand,’ those amputees who had acted as planks in the traffic would surely get themselves a skateboard at the earliest opportunity so they could continue to be a pain in the rump.
Skateboards? Really?
Or perhaps a soapbox go-cart.
A bit more about Adolph’s health issues, and drug regimen "It has been proved that Adolf Hitler suffered from idiopathic Parkinson’s disease. No indication for postencephalitic parkinsonism was found in the clinical symptoms or the case history. Professor Max de Crinis established his diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease in Hitler early in 1945 and informed the SS leadership, who decided to initiate treatment with a specially prepared ‘antiparkinsonian mixture’ to be administered by a physician. However, Hitler never received the mixture, this implies that the SS intended to remove the severely diseased ‘Leader’.
Two different character traits can be analysed in Hitler’s personality: on the one hand the typical premorbid personality of parkinsonian patients with uncorrectable mental rigidity, extreme inflexibility and insupportable pedantry. On the other an antisocial personality disorder with lack of ethical and social values, a deeply rooted tendency to betray others and to deceive himself and uncontrollable emotional reactions. This special combination in Hitler’s personality resulted in the uncritical conviction of his mission and an enormous driving for recognition. The neuropsychiatric analysis of Hitler’s personality could lead to a better explanation of the pathological traits of one of the most conspicuous historical personalities."
Methamphetamines were first given out in World War II under the name Pervatin. Pervatin was used to keep German World War II pilots awake and alert while flying. Hitler’s physician gave him injections of Pervatin to treat his fatigue and depression. Starting in 1940, Hitler’s hands and body would shake during public appearances. It is unclear whether Hitler experienced hand and body tremors as a result of the Pervatin, or whether Pervatin was given to Hitler as a treatment for what was actually Parkinson’s disease.
Don’t get me going on this one mate. During the '94 fires greenies were actively preventing fire crews from back burning, making the situation potentially more dangerous. A bit of rough justice was threatened and said Greenies melted away.
But what pisses me off is everyone crying about our hot weather and lack of water and various governments offering weird and whacky solutions, when pure and simple, sensible water management, conservation can solve many problems.
Until this is done ALL immigration should be halted.
Thanks RS, it’s good to be back and hopefully I’ll be able to visit once a week. Any more time would be great.
digger:)
i think hitler always displayed these all of these traits…i remember reading a book describing him by a boyhood friend named i think kubicek?..there was also a mental analysis made during the was by the US…i forgot the books name

So, just a general question:
Your Birth Rate is an average of 1.7 kids/family.
So obviously, a halt of immigration would mean that the Australian population would decrease, not only because there’s .3 (lol) of a child missing per couple, but because people would still migrate.
This would help with the water supply, but what about the social system? Your population would age, and soon you would have more retired than working people.
I know that this is a huge problem in Germany, where the birthrate is even lower (I think it’s somewhere around 1.35 or so), which is why Germany has so lenient immigration policies - they don’t want the country to empty itself.
Still, there’s about 30,000 (IIRC) less Germans every year (that’s including immigrants).
Now in Germany the big worry is that soon the young minority will have to pay the old majority’s retirement payments - not a very desirable situation.
How is Australia’s social system? Wouldn’t the Australians fuck themselves over if they had a population decrease, just the way Germany does? Or is retirement a privately financed fond there?
(I know that this is getting off-topic, but let’s just say this pisses me off :D)
Quite a few were made by various Allies, but the one you might be thinking of is the one by Walter Langer’s team which resulted in Langer’s post-war book ‘The Mind of Adolf Hitler’.
It’s been a few decades since I read it, but I recall that in places it drew some very long bows on quite tenuous information.
From memory, the ?main intention was to try to predict how Hitler would react to various circumstances.
Its usefulness as a portrait of Hitler’s mind is further limited by the fairly rudimentary development of psychology at the time.
He was tasked by the OSS to do what would now be called “forensic psychology profiling.” I believe it was sort of hit and miss, he did however predict Hitler would commit suicide rather than try to flee or become a guerrilla leader…
Schuultz, that pic in your sig, is that the Heer special forces or paratroops?
That’s KSK (Kommando Spezialkräfte) during a training exercise, you’re right, they’re the Heer Special Forces. The Navy version would be the SEKM (called Kampfschwimmer, pretty much German Navy Seals)
I don’t think the paratroopers have to wear masks during regular training…
I honestly don’t remember where I found it, though. I think I just googled it, and it came up somewhere along there.
Sorry, tried to find the link, but I couldn’t find it again. :neutral:
I added the flag and the Federal Eagle, they weren’t part of the original image, I had to crop it, too…
EDIT: I just noticed that the soldier is using the Para-version of the G36, so I understand that you were unsure. Also, the Heer Special Forces use the same beret color as the Paras, and even their official insignia (not the sword, the spec-ops sign) looks almost like the Paratrooper insignia, except that it has an added thunderbolt.
I’m hugely rusty on this, but my recollection of Langer’s work is that there were some very sketchy reports upon which some of the analyses were based.
Sort of ‘a mate of mine knows a bloke down the pub whose missus works in the laundry that does Hitler’s sheets and she heard from the bloke who drives the truck for the laundry company that collects Hitler’s sheets that there are marks on his sheets which show that …’
Making public presentations/speaches pisses me off.
Ah really? I know you’re still in high school, so you’ll have to take my word for it: It’s going to get a lot easier once (if) you go to University.
Just keep in mind that the majority doesn’t even know you, your friends support you, and that you could give less than a fuck about what the rest thinks.
This confirms my long-held suspicion that you’re not the real Churchill.
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooot??? :shock:
How could you do that to us, Churchill? We thought you were the real deal!
Though, on second thought, we should have grown suspicious when you said you were in high school…:neutral:
