My Thoughts on the Presidency of Franklin Delano Roosevelt

Franklin Delano Roosevelt is one of my favorite presidents, and while his presidency has a lot of things to cover, for sake of length I will only talk about the major things. 

It was under FDR that we got Social Security, many labor reforms, and the increase of the American standard of living. 

Despite economic and social-welfare success, the biggest point of his presidency was that of World War II. Unlike our involvement in World War I, we didn't waste any time after getting attacked. 

Thankfully under his leadership, along with our allies we were able to take down Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan. 

He also worked very closely with the other leaders of the world. FDR, Churchill, and Stalin were the triple team against the Axis of Evil. Which is a bit ironic since Stalin was one evil dude. 

I'm generally favorable of most of his presidency except for the case of the interment camps which arrested and detained German, Italian, and more notably Japanese-Americans for no real reason. 

It's a bit of shame that FDR died right before the war ended. 

I'm a bit ashamed of my fellow Americans who believe the tainted legacy foretold by Conservative Republicans and Libertarians. Despite your political views, he did a lot, and I admire and respect him for it. 

Doom 1 and Doom 2 Now Unbanned in Germany

Germany kind of sucks when it comes to censorship. Violent video games usually get banned for no reason. Doom was one of the first notable games to receive such a punishment. Why end the almost 2 decade ban? Well the current government believes it has something of value when it comes to history.

Fact of the Day: Arnold Schwarzenegger's Dad Was a Nazi

Fact of the day: Kindergarten

Many of us remember being in Kindergarten when we first started school. It actually means "children's garden" in German. 

My Thoughts on the Presidency of Woodrow Wilson

Woodrow Wilson beat out both Taft and Teddy Roosevelt and became our 28th President

Woodrow Wilson was a Democrat after two Progressive Republicans, oddly enough he was a Progressive himself. He oversaw many creations, one of the biggest being the Federal Reserve. He also was pretty good towards worker's rights, and a led a decent fight against powerful corporations. 

He also tried to pass a law that would have almost ended child labor. However the Supreme Court nullified it when it was passed. It would be a few more years until the horrible practice was abolished. 

Easily the biggest part of his presidency was World War I. He tried to stay out of the war, but Germany kept committing small crime after small crime against us. Yet Wilson still tried to keep neutral. 

But sometimes enough is enough, and finally after some time Wilson brought us into "The Great War" against Germany. I have mixed feelings about this, it's good to keep peace but then again I think he waited far too long than he should of. 

Wilson was also pretty shitty when it came to civil rights. I believe he even had some African-American supporters who felt betrayed after he let Southern racists take over the federal government. 

Economically I don't disagree to much with Wilson, Socially however we are total opposites. Good President or bad president? He was flawed, but he did some great things. 

Wolfenstein 3D (SNES version) Review

Before Doom, there was Wolfenstein 3D. It was a "Doom Clone" before there was a Doom to speak of. It's bascially the same game as Doom it just replaced Demons with Nazis. With all the controversy that surrounded Doom back in the day, why did no Congressmen or Senators ever speak of Wolfenstein 3D? Shooting demons from hell is evil, but damn if you hate on a game where you shoot Nazis, then you're Un-American. 

This is what the PC version looked like. Not exactly ground-breaking graphics today, but back then it was on the top of it's class. Kids were begging parents to buy them ultra-nice PCs or computer parts so they could play this alone. I've never played the PC version, and I never will. However I did play the SNES version of Doom, and even though I don't really like Doom I didn't think it was a bad port. 

This is what Wolfenstein 3D on SNES looks like. Muddy, blurry, and just plain hideous. They take out pretty much all the Nazi logos, and everything. Apparently they wanted to release it in Germany (which pretty much bans anything Nazi unless it's about history and education), and it still got canned in land of BMW, Beer, and Bratwurst. 

I really could not stand playing Wolfenstein 3D on SNES for more than a few minutes straight. It's incredibly awful in almost every way. It's an aging game even in perfect or upgraded form, and it doesn't help when the graphics and control are almost as bad as our former enemies. 

Score: 1 out of 10

Fact of the Day: The People of Germany Elected Adolf Hitler

Once his party gained enough seats in German Parliment, they ruled all other parties illegal. 

Fact of the Day: English is Germanic

Despite claims from bitches who don't know shit, English is more close to German and the other Germanic languages than stuff like Latin and Spanish. English is not a romance language, it's on the Germanic branch.
