They seem to be an American thing, and not even every brand uses them.
Over here they use metal supported plastic stripes that are just bent around once.
I'm pretty sure those are called Twist-Ties over here.
No. They are far stronger and not twisted at the end. They have two metal rods on the sides and plastic inbetween and are just loosely bent around.

[QUOTE=Marbalo;38160572]It is statistically impossible because between 1940 and 1950 the population of the Soviet Union was 90-100 million. Are you suggesting that Stalin single handedly murdered [B]half [/B]of the Soviet population while also out-performing Germany in industrial growth while revolutionizing the nation with economic reforms?
The numbers are greatly exaggerated because this is exactly what happened during the Cold War. Both sides needed to make the other look more evil, hellish, inhumane, whatever. That was the entire point -- misinformation. These concepts were often birthed in Nazi Germany, and later on adopted by the U.S as counterpropaganda.[/QUOTE]
It was stalin's decision to enter the pact of steel. Thus he's responsible not only for the death of many Polish through its conquering, but also the soviet troops that died due to Barbarossa.

Now *that* is Grade-A FDA-certified bullshit right there.
You make an alliance with a dickbag, and he backstabs you when you aren't looking, it's Dickbag's fault you got stabbed, not yours.
You could *maybe* argue that Stalin can take credit for all the deaths caused by his scorched-earth policy, but even that I feel is a bit of a stretch.

It's not his fault? He didn't give a damn about the troops, and signing that pact was HILARIOUSLY short-sighted.
Take the generals who sent millions to their deaths in the trenches in WWI. Are they not to blame for their deaths? I'm not saying the nazis are somehow absolved of blame, but Stalin's incompetence DID lead to [B]so many[/B] being killed.

It wasn't short-sighted at all. Stalin knew a war between them was inevitable - he signed that treaty to buy them time to prepare for it, expecting the treaty to be broken 5-10 years later than it actually was. Hitler, being a well-known asshole, broke the treaty *before* Russia could prepare for it. And while he definitely did send troops into combat with no real training, equipment, support, or expectation of survival, it was more out of necessity than malice. He had resources, some scarce (arms, munitions), some plentiful (people). Given the situation, which was created mostly by Nazi invasions, he basically did the best he could. Were I in his place, I cannot say that I would have done significantly differently.
You can totally blame him for his actual kills. Invading Finland, Poland, Lithuania et al.? His fault. The purges? His fault. The massacres? His fault.
But you do the victims a dishonor by naming the wrong killer.

If being incompetence leads to blame, George Bush among many other politicians, should be arrested for war crimes.

Love that picture.
I still maintain the position that the world would be better off if the Soviet Union still existed.
That being said, this isn't the place to debate, so I'll just leave it at that.

we might see the world similar to in deus ex human revolution.
