I see no guns!
I see no executions, no Revolutionaries charging through the streets intent on the destruction of the royal family and a uprising of the lower classes. There isn't any political thought further than "Jokes on you, I am going to kill your ass and take over the Kingdom".

Personal analysis =/= Author intent

Go through the Wikipedia page. Does it say, "This is an allegory for Napoleon and WWI," or does it say, "This is a story based on an Andersen fairy tale"?

I don't see any colonialism(google Scramble for Africa) . Also, in the original story was from Denmark( The Snow Queen) right after Napoleon so it can't be that accurate. On top of that they changed it so much its hardly there (the original story). Educate yourself about the original story: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Snow_Queen

Chaps, I would suggest dropping this thread entirely. The whole thing has been dominated with arguments with someone who is very clearly either fucking with you (And if he is, bravo to him.) or someone who obviously isn't mentally sound. Arguing with this guy is like trying to rocket-jump. It won't work and you'll probably lose your legs.
EDIT: Also, if you do really have Asperger's Syndrome, RSSS, here's a little newsflash from a fellow 'Spergian.

It's no excuse for being a twit.

No, RSSS, you could not be. You are not right. You are pulling ideas out of your own imagination and insisting that if you just repeat your claim enough times, maybe that will somehow make it true. But that is not how reality works.
