FUCK That's the worst thing i've ever eaten. The flesh simply doesn't cleave to the bones. Battery ferming. And then, foie gras is banned from NY state, because it's considered as ill-treat. IT'S NOT. KFC is tourist ill-treat. YOU POISONERS! Two hours after being to KFC, i stopped in a amsih little town barf all that KFC shit out. Nice work! So i hope this woman is not like kfc chicken, otherwise she'll be pulled to pieces. -organized confused project Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/76529-ikea-admits-to-using-slave-labor/#findComment-1905503 Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshuatxuk Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 (edited) On 11/17/2012 at 4:05 AM, data said: i heard the guy who came up with the volkswagen was a nazi, also, something about henry ford. Ford was a supporter of Hitler in the 30s and a fierce anti-Semite. He even received a the highest German Cross medal a foreign person could be awarded. Ferdinand Porsche was a main designer of the Porsche and both Porsche (the company) and VW produced military vehicles, including some Panzer components, during WWII. That isn't any different that US companies building weapons or Mitsubishi in Japan, Rolls-Royce in UK, etc. Private companies on the whole built war machines at their governments request. It wasn't political, someone like Porsche had no option. Remember too that both NASA and the USSR space programs started with the V-2 rocket engineers they managed to capture, technological innovation is often tied with defense projects. Ford's overall involvement is a lot more alarming, the company traded with the Third Reich and had ownership of German factories up until 1938. His anti-Semitic books were popular within the Nazi party. He was reluctant to get involved, vaguely opposing the war but nonetheless Ford factories pitched in with weapon factory (aircraft mostly) production.

Yeah he was quite outspoken about it. He never quite endorsed the Nazi party itself and he did flat-out cut ties with Germany once they began using French POWs in factories. Very last minute nonetheless. If he had been just slightly more resistant to supporting the US war effort and/or continued to maintain a business relationship with the Nazis through 1941, I'm sure he would of been far more of a historical disgrace. Apparently by that time he was already becoming a bit senile anyway.
