If you want to blame anyone for the horrors of the war I would say Conrad van Hotzendorf

 I would say Austria as a whole, along with Russias poor leadership at the time, and i would say Germany gave Austria to much power (The whole "Blank Check" deal) However, Germany and Russia did not want war, it was a serious of catastrophic mistakes that led to WW1, in all the nations i just mentioned.

but the Germans did commit serious war crimes

The German Government, as a whole simply did not, the only War Crime the army actually committed was to an extent, what is claimed to have happened in Belgium (It did happen, but it was NOT anywhere near what the Brits claimed) and that was not the German Government, but rather a few misguided officers, much like the time the US massacred a village in Vietnam (I forget the name of the incident) it was not the US, but a few officers that let it happen.

Plus the British and French didn't attack civilian ships with U-boats.

 The Germans made it quite clear that any civilian ships in the area where in a war zone, and even gave the ships warnings to turn around, and the ships where by no means "Civilian" you stop being a "Civilian ship" when you smuggle arms and food into a country, knowingly, through a war zone, even Lusitania was carrieng weapons. and as a matter of fact the British did sink civilian ships, not with U-Boats but with warships, the Germans even made special Cargo U-Boats (The Deutschland class) to sneak past the British blockade. its funny you never hear about the brits blockading Germany and starving millions, but you always learn about the German blockade of england.

I looked it up and it sounds like he kept on sending them tweets after they blocked him. Supposedly it happened over a long time and he sent some nasty stuff including but not limited to:

“Hateful b--tch!”
“Heather’s fat a** gets fatter”

and then:
“A whole lot of ugly at the Cadillac Lounge tonight,” @greg_a_elliott tweeted. The tweet made her fear that Elliott was at the same bar and search the room to make sure he was not, she said.

Why Heil dir im Siegerkranz of course, the greatest anthem of the greatest nation to ever exist.

How can it be the anthem of the greatest nation ever if it was never a Soviet anthem?

YES ^

I like the Russian national anthem personally

YES ^


And may I submit another contestant:

Also, I don't agree with the idea that we lose our civil rights when security forces tap the phones of suspected criminals/terrorists and monitor the computer usage of same kind, it's for our own protection and it makes no sense why proper liberals are against it

  If i where British i would agree fully with you, but in other countries we cant give the government so much power, for instance in the US, government spies have actually collected data on congressmen they dont like, and in a time where countries seem to be slowly loosing freedom of speech, im not so conferrable with the government listening in on what i say.

I like the Russian national anthem personally
