Thank You very much Donald Trump!!!

You ok bro?

 

This is hilariously ironic because everything you've said in this thread is textbook high school american history. Just a very whitewashed way of looking at the past

 

Please note that the Politics forum guidelines have been updated as it has been noticed that some people are increasingly using photo’s, images and memes instead of posting comment as stated in the guidelines this is not a bulletin board it is a place to debate politics

And so

For that reason cut and pasted articles, links, videos, photographs and memes should be used sparingly and more as a way to highlight a person’s viewpoint rather than as a replacement for a person’s viewpoint.

People that post these things without relevant comment may find their posts removed.

 

Maybe you're right but it'll be hard enough to pass single payer in the US, much less an entirely socialized system

 

Which part is the myth? I've heard so many explanations on this that I can't say for sure what happened? My roommate in college was from Katy and told other stories too. I met an author of western stories who did say Texas was a Republic?

 

Oh, that Texas can leave whenever we want. Texas was a sovereign state, on of the 6 flags of Texas.

Spain, France, Mexico, Texas, US, Confederacy.

 

Do you guys in Kentucky or wherever have to take state history in school? They threw a Texas history class at us like every three years.

 

I went to school in Malta … about sixty miles south of Sicily, Italy. When we came back to America, I went to high school in Indiana. Malta gave me a good education. In Indiana I did not learn anything. Indiana is the most racist and backwards piece of shit on planet earth. I love Colorado, California, and Oregon.

 

Thank you, thank you!

 

Oh yes, for service-connected as well as the class of 46 veterans the VA is basically a red carpet. As they are whisked away for their appointment the vets from Vietnam to just before Desert Shield, are still sitting in the waiting room. My father was exposed to Agent Orange and only qualified as 10% service-connected.

And of course the former officers are treated like gods, same as when they were active. It's all about class of course, but somehow it escapes the distinction.

 

Reminds me of a western theme park in Florida called Six Gun Territory.

 

Please tell me you have a similar list of things he actually has managed to accomplish in his first term. Otherwise I'm going to wonder if you're somewhat biased!

 

Georgia and Alabama history are seriously snooze-worthy. Some of the earlier stuff, before and during the time of the Spanish explorers like DeSoto, was at least interesting. But then Georgia became a British buffer colony. This is where they empty the prisons and pack them all into the territories where they fear the Spanish might invade on their way to New England. The Spanish made a few incursions, but went broke fighting the ex-cons (who did not practice warfare like "decent" people).

To this day you can see the influence around here.

 

There is a lot of stuff to impeach him on.

 

So you want him to get Mexico to pay for the wall, start a commission on radical islam and eliminate gun free zones

Thats a bit extreme Meagan

 

I am not enough of an expert on Persian history to comment knowledgeably. I will hazard a guess that you are not either, but that you are simply cherry picking some facts to fit a narrative. While I grant, per Jewish history, Cyrus is known as one who freed slaves, per reddit, that history, from 2500 years ago leaves much to be desired in terms of available records:

Did the Persian Empire really outlaw slavery? : AskHistorians

Nevertheless, there was slavery in Persia prior to the Arab conquest. Moreover, this discussion,

Iran: Did the Zoroastrian religion prohibit slavery? - Quora

among admitted non-experts, notes that the prohibition against slavery under Zoroastrianism was not nearly as clear cut as you make it out: Zoroastrians could not have other Zoroastrians as slaves and non-Zoroastrians could not own slaves. To its credit, I suppose, Zoroastrianism did limit slavery in various ways, including, notably, its not being an inherited condition. It would be interesting to see a full discussion of Zoroastrian perspectives on slavery and why they were shaped the way they were. I think you are very selectively bringing in an interesting part of history to suit your polemical goals.

Nonetheless, in the Western world, Christianity, and to a lessor extent I think, Judaism, were what drove the West to eliminate slavery. And, at least for the former, the sanctity of the individual soul was at the heart of the drive toward emancipation. You seem to me to be keenly interested in minimizing that historical reality.
