America made up a reason to go to war in a country they had no business being in and then they lost. They were inferior in this context, yes American Indians were destroyed by foreign diseases and invaders with considerably more powerful weapons. They were inferior in this context, yes Nice try bringing race into this to make me look like a bad person. Being on the losing side doesn't automatically make you worthless. You have to look at why it happened. But that doesn't change the fact that someone else came out on top. Doesn't change the fact that the "superior" south lost to the north |
I'm so glad I'm not into saltwater. Bobbit worms are terrifying and gross |
I understand completely though. I once had that with our rabbit who lived in an unheated veranda-like extension of our house, and in an unusually cold winter with night temperatures below -10C/14F and a strong icy wind I was afraid that he would freeze to death and that we would find a large rabbit-shaped ice lolly in the morning (the lolly stick was included in the nightmare, which made it even more absurd). Rabbits know how to deal with cold, it turned out. |
Look, I’m going to come right out and say yes slavery is bad, the South was stupid to have slaves, it would have been smarter for them to have the financial slavery that existed in the North, spending hundreds of dollars to buy a person and then have to take care of that person till they die, was a foolish move, hire them, get them in debt to the company, pay them in company store vouchers and fire them when they get hurt or to old is much wiser. The War was fought mainly over slavery, I’m not a revisionist and claim a bunch of noble causes, the Confederate foot soldier fought to protect his home from what he perceived as an invading foreigner, he deserves respect that for five years with out food, almost no pay, poor clothing and equipment he fought against overwhelmingly odds. I had three ancestors that fought for the Confederacy, one of which was African-American, I was 13 before I found out Dam Yankee was two words. I don’t believe in destroying history or rewriting it for modern political agenda, the South was wrong to have slaves, the South was wrong with the Jim Crow Laws, I remember two fountains side by side, I hated not being allowed to sit in the balcony at the movie theater, I also remember respect, that people gave each other, the lack of fear that prevails in today’s society, alcohol was illegal in my home town, but we ( white kids) were welcome in the speak easies that existed in the black section, no fear, no hate. Just my little rant for the day. Now if y’all have a problem with me, let me know, I am to fuking old to worry about sh1t. |
Yeah man, the worst part about slavery? It wasn't efficient. Totally the worst part about slavery and the main reason why it was bad. |
That’s not what I meant, slavery is wrong in every form, buying and selling another human being or trapping them in job they can never leave, but this concern over a war fought 160 years ago and statues and memorials built over a hundred years ago, is nothing more then bread and circuses tactic used by the Democrat-Republican Party to distract us from the screwing they are giving the American people today. Why do you think only controversial issues hit the media. What happened to George Floyd was horrible and the four police deserve what ever happens to them, but how many people have been killed just as uselessly before and after him, would there be the outrage if it had been the black officer with his knee on the neck? What we hear and see is to manipulate us and hide what is really being done. But neither party has ever done anything about Flint, Michigan, no controversy, the biggest child sex slave and pedophile case ever is going on, no media attention, to many powerful men will be implicated, where is the outrage? Face it America has become the land of suckers. |
So I've noticed you do this thing a lot where you dangle a little bit of something true in front of someone and then use that to lure them into engaging with a conspiracy theory. Believe it or not, the social unrest due to the persistent murder of black people isn't an elaborate ruse, and is generally quietly suppressed by the media after any initial round of coverage. When you do this you just muddy the waters around genuine social issues. |
The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now I don't think the George Floyd case was particularly special and unique; It's almost random which of these cases get attention and which ones die in obscurity. One of the officers involved in his death is of asian descent so it's not about the race of the those who kill, it's that many cops are poorly trained murderers or effectively condone it by not speaking up against and punishing those who do kill, and black communities are disproportionately targeted by the police. You cannot tell me that Flint's water crisis didn't have controversy. It had tons of it. Started in 2014 and got tons of coverage. But the problem is that the average layman cannot do anything about it. I sure can't add anti-corrosive agents to the pipelines for an entire municipality. Maybe you didn't see it down south as much but it was fking everywhere for weeks where I live. There's tons of outrage over the whole Epstein thing, but again Average Joe working at a Philadelphia gas station can't convict anyone and has no access to evidence. It's gotten tons of media coverage. Covering up and not implicating those involved is not because of the "Democrat-Republican Party", it's that you can get away with anything if you have enough money to throw at other people to make your problems go away and to remove your accountability. If it was just an American government coverup it wouldn't be an international circus |
The Most Catholic Diarchy of Miklania *wheeze* |
The Estral Republic of Aizcona Just chumming up the waters All I see is a land of losers that need to understand that they lost and that need to catch up with the times. Ain’t 1861 no more. |
Corindia You have java moss in your tank, right? If so, did yours come in on a wire mesh? I just got some that did and I dunno the best way of attaching the moss to my rocks and driftwood since it's all stuck together. Just pick it apart and stuff into crevices? |
The Estral Republic of Aizcona Quite fun isn’t it? |
The Estral Republic of Aizcona I wonder what fossils lie under all that ice |
I’ll consider it, as for how I’m doing, I’m doing alright, I’m just reading into history books. How are you doing? |
The Estral Republic of Aizcona History books are good, what topics? I’m at work and work sucks haha |
It didn't come with anything. I've found that if it's in contact with something for long enough it will attach, could use some fishing line to hold it there for a while |
I've got dragon stone so I can easily just stuff a bunch of holes It's bound together by some string so I can dismantle it if needed, but I don't know how attached it all is. Though it's moss and pretty much any cutting will root because it's moss and it just kinda does whatever it wants wherever it wants |
I’m reading into the history of different religions and conflicts in the Middle East |
Then we are all losers, personally I’m glad the Confederacy lost, without a unified country, no telling what would have happened during and after WW1 with a German victory. The US needed the War Between the States to become a great nation, when Sheridan was observing Prussia’s victory over France, he wrote back that the US had nothing to fear from Europe, no Army could with stand Southern Infantry and Northern Artillery. The US in two World Wars lost one battle to Germany. The tactics that American officers learned from Grant and Lee, Sherman and Jackson, Sheridan and Stuart, Grissom and Forrest, built the US Army into an unbeatable force. |
The Estral Republic of Aizcona Oooo, got a lot of material to read haha. Four? Major religions were born in the Mid East if you count historically Zoroastrianism, and I think the Sihjks came from there too |
The Estral Republic of Aizcona I mean yes. But that isn’t the point. The point is that a lot of people in the US still hold onto the Confederacy as if it was ever going to be a good thing or come from a good place. No matter what their actions were federally illegal and immoral. People need to get over something that lasted five years over 150 years ago. We are all Americans on this blessed day. Except for those damn foreigners |
