    lol! i wonder if germans still catch crap for stuff that happened 2 generations ago, it's like racism...i just dont get it but its still out there...
    Oh speaking of other countries, one of my good friends is scotish and i made the mistake of calling him english once, and he got all pissy, i dunno why but scotish and english dont get along for some reason according to him.

    Again i think that's holding a grudge for no good reason for something that happened a long long time ago...

    P.S. Germans! can you tell us next time you take over the world so i can put in a request to the head guy to have internet access lol! jk
    well unfortunately ay :S old habits die hard, and whilst we learn from history, it helps shape our opinions about people and where they come from. For better or worse, and unfortunately often, as in the cases you pointed out, for worse.

    For some bizarre reason, where in the minds of normal people, history is history, and past opinions remain in the past, in some, old prejudices and beliefs influence their own opinions so much that they will still hold grudges, even hate, towards those who could be tied to said history. (please note there is a difference to ones own experience in the past to that of historical past)

    Some will always believe that Germans (the current generations) are in their entirety (ie without exception) responsible for the wars and thus should be held responsible. Germans thus will always take flack for the crap that happened so long ago, and maybe even worse, sometimes made to feel guilty for it.
    Racists will still exist when their opinion is based on old beliefs of inequality. Thus there will always be racists.

    as for the the Scottish-English thing.. dunno, it's either stems from the Scottish Independence thing, or it's the north-south divide that some people take so seriously. Or maybe he thinks english ppl can't handle their alcohol as well as the Scotts

    I'm just glad I'm such an outsider no matter where in this world I go that noone knows what to label me as (anglo-germanic-hispanic-etcetc central hemispherian would be the term if you take the Prime Meridian as your point of reference)

    anyways, now to bring this thread back on topic!

    As you may have noticed I place some blame on how such ideals (potentially false ones) are formed, on historical teachings, which can, without the proper perspective lead to these grudges etc. Thus if we were to replace history with nipples (male and female ones) we would all be much better off.

    EDIT: can I declare myself the king of waffle? or waffles? or are there some contenders? :P

    There's a 7-day guest pass that comes with the game when you buy a retail copy, but Funcom hasn't "turned on" the ability to use them. They stated they wanted all the paying customers to get a chance to log in and play before they enabled the guest accounts. I don't know if there will be other guest passes available from the website like WoW or EQ.
