I can't figure out why there's still people flying the Confederate flag. A flag of a nation defeated in war, based on the enslavement of people and out of existence 169 years.

By phart at 26,Oct,19 19:26 other posts of phart

Soory for the Highjack Kembo but sometimes ,

Some fly it to remember the fallen that were family. I personally feel like it is important for us to remember most of the folks that died under that flag could not afford a slave and were simply trying to protect their homes and familys and get away from the taxation of the north.If Sherman and his men went thru your town and burned it to the ground,I would bet you would be willing to fight against them as well regardless of slaves,taxes or anything else.
about 40 miles from here is a house that still to this day has the horse hoof prints in the hardwood floors. The general rode his horse thru the house and kept it in a room at night while the yanks were in the area.
Why should we forget the people that suffered from the wrath of the yanks raping the women and k1ds and killing livestock,burning towns? why? And don't forget those damned carpet baggers that came down here and finished off alot of southerns taking their money and everything else they could.I hope there is a specail place in hell for Sherman and his kind

Sadly some fly it for the sake of hatred.No excuse for that

By Twowarmtts! at 26,Oct,19 20:05 other posts of Twowarmtts!

In any war the average soldier just fights. He's not given a choice.
The objects and purpose of the Sons of Confederate Veterans is "to encourage the preservation of history, perpetuate the hallowed memories of brave men, to assist in the observance of Confederate Memorial Day, to aid and support all members, and to perpetuate the record of the services of every Southern soldier."[1] Significant debate has occurred on whether their views represent an accurate interpretation of history[7] or a deliberate distortion of history based on Lost Cause of the Confederacy ideology.[8] A project of the group, the National Confederate Museum, has continued this debate with supporters claiming the museum "will be out of the reach of the long arm of political correctness." It is due to open during 2019.[9] Detractors have stated that "casting the Confederacy as a honorable force standing strong against Northern aggressors is a willful misreading of the historical truth that the institution of slavery was at the core of the Civil War."[10]

This can be found on line. While I'm sure there's many dedecendants of confederate soldiers, the war was not an honorable one for the south. Taxation was not an issue. The south made good profits from the sale of cotton.
The main reason was
As the first state to secede, South Carolina's “Declarations” established precedent and unabashedly claimed that the primary reason for secession remained the refusal of northern states to comply with the Fugitive Slave Act and the Dred Scott (1857) decision.
They fought to keep an agricultural society that could only survive financially by having slaves.
If you think remembering family members that fell in that war, that despicable flag should not be it's symbol.
Think about this. German people proudly displaying the Nazi flag because a family member died defending Auschweiz

BTW, Sherman was a horrible person. He was a butcher and his troops, today, would have been charge as war criminals. Having said that, not only was he effective, he shortened the war considerably. His boss, Grant, was a butcher too.

Read the history from some books printed before about 1950 or so.
IF the south coulda held out a while longer,alot of yanks died of sexualy tranmitted deseases.
Sadly the owner of the books I was able to read a little from on a weekend passed away and the books are gone.Or I could copy and paste.

By Twowarmtts! at 26,Oct,19 21:20 other posts of Twowarmtts!

Phart, really? Are you saying the north would have lost the war because of STDs?
First, if true, it doesn't speak well of southern women or their men. The pox was rampant in the south? Souther belles were whores?
Don't you think these books were propaganda left over from some sick minded individuals?
I can see it now. Sir, why do you display the Confederate flag? Because my great great grandma was a whore who tried to infect as many of them there damn Yankees as possible. She made sure Sherman and his bunch knew her

No,you got it wrong again.
The French must have felt like the south had a cause as they were on the Canadian border set to atack from that side.
Some Hawaians joined in .https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawaii_and_the_American_Civil_War

At least 40 Australians got involved

It was also news to me that Russia was getting involved! Wow.
The books I was referring to were printed in the 1880's and were first hand accounts from soilders and family members.It was about 20 books with marroon covers kinda like a set of encyclopedias.The lady that had them when I met her was 98 years old and she was in the Daughters of confederate veterans.Best I can remember the books were the result of alot of hard work by women back then that wanted the truth documented..She also had a set of similar books covering WW1 ,which is another war for whatever reason the PC crowd wants forgotten.It's monuments will be next I guess.
You go back in history a bit and remember Eisenhower wanted people to see and remembr the truth about the jews and the torture.Similar thing.History wants to deny it ever happened.

By Twowarmtts! at 27,Oct,19 09:04 other posts of Twowarmtts!

Doesn't that tell you anything? The Daughters of the Confederacy are bias as the most biased group ever. In the 1880's, they were going through reconstruction. A real bad time for the south.
The French had a vested interest for the south to win. Do some research and you'll see the French liked to buy cotton at a better price than through wholesalers in the north. Cotton was a worldwide wonder material when processed. There were no man made cloth then.
In any war, there are men that like to be in it. They love to be in harm's way.
World War I was eclipsed by WWII. It was a useless war that not only did not solve anything, but, it was the reason for WWII.

Considering the population comparison of 146M to 29M it's very substantial.
It seems that Texan cocks are nicer too. I've noticed that over the years that I've been here. My personal choice, not statistically.

The USAF waw separated from the Army in 1947. That was the Army Air Corp b4.
The La Fayette Escadrille (French: Escadrille de La Fayette) was a U.S. unit constituted in 1916 under French command, made up of volunteers who came forward to fight for France during World War I. The escadrille of the Aéronautique Militaire was composed largely of American volunteer pilots flying fighters.
Later, when America joined the war, they became part of the Army Air Corp. Many new recruits died learning how to fly

The answer to the question, can you smell in your sieep, is quite simply, no. As it turns out, the phrase wake up and smell the coffee is more true than you would imagine. When you are asleep, your sense of smell shuts down. You can only smell the coffee after you have woken up.

In a double rainbow, a second arc is seen outside the primary arc, and has the order of its colours reversed, with red on the inner side of the arc. This is caused by the light being reflected twice on the inside of the droplet before leaving it.

50% of People are below average height (this is subtle...)

By kebmo at 30,Jan,19 17:01 other posts of kebmo

I don't know about that. Some people ARE average height so they would be subtracted from the 100% that you start with. If 20% ARE average height you only have 80% that are not average.

By #578610 at 01,Feb,19 19:05

If half the people are shorter than the median hight, then the other half has to be taller than the median hight. This has nothing to do with how the median was calculated.

By sinanff47 at 31,Jan,19 21:47 other posts of sinanff47

Actually not really. In English, 'average' usually is used for 'mean', which is NOT 'in the middle'. 'MEDIAN' is the 50% mark, but not necessarily 'the average'.

By kebmo at 31,Jan,19 23:20 other posts of kebmo

Sinaff, average, mean, median, regardless, some people will fall exactly on the line leaving less than 100% to be less than or greater than that so to say that 50% are less than that is incorrect but I really didn't care to start with.

By bigg at 04,Feb,19 16:37 other posts of bigg

I bow humbly to your comment, median is of course correct. Average or mean, would not be representative of the "middle" height since the statistical distibution of height of People in the world may not be Gaussian. Very tall people such as Robert Wadlow (Guinness Book of Records 8ft 11,1 inches) while being nice and tall, do tend to have such an effect.

The Underground Railroad was a sec.ret network of abolitionists who helped African Americans escape from enslavement in the American South to free Northern states or to Canada. It was the largest anti-slavery freedom movement in North America, having brought between 30,000 and 40,000 fugitives to British North America (Canada).

By #562152 at 08,Oct,18 08:48

If you ask modern people in the USA, you'd be lucky to find someone that can tell you anything about the Underground Railroad. Most don't even know what it is. Those that do generally think that it was in place during the 10 to 15 yrs prior to the American Civil War. That's only a part of it's run. This **** network born to help slaves from the south of the USA reach the north, was in place, at least since the war for independence from England in the late 1700's

Steak tartare is a meat dish made from raw ground meat. It is usually served with onions, capers, pepper and Worcestershire sauce, and other seasonings, often presented to the diner separately, to be added to taste. It is often served with a raw egg yolk, and often on rye bread

When I was in Brussels my friend ordered steak tartare and received what he anticipated which was raw, sliced beef.

By kebmo at 25,Sep,18 14:56 other posts of kebmo

Maybe it's a European vs American thing.
The end of the tenderloin was frozen and sliced very thin on the slicer and placed on the plate where it thawed before serving. Frozen meat is easier to slice very thin.
Eating raw ground beef with a raw egg in it is something that my mind would reject outright.

By bella! at 25,Sep,18 15:03 other posts of bella!

Well, there has been problems with beef and it seems more so with ground beef than with a, let's say, good steak. Try to go out and request a burger medium, medium rare or rare, it ain't going to happen.

By kebmo at 25,Sep,18 19:59 other posts of kebmo

I worked in Banff Alberta for ten years in restaurants. We could always identify the American tourists when they ordered their burgers medium rare. We always declined because of the E.coli risk. Some of them got a bit overly vociferous about it but in the end their burger was well done or they ordered a steak done how they liked it.

By #562152 at 26,Sep,18 11:35

I have never been able to eat it, same with prime rib. I can’t stand the sight of raw meat. Where I’m from there’s a particular cut called milanesa, I like to marinate it in mojo criollo and then grill them. So yummy.

By kebmo at 28,Sep,18 21:19 other posts of kebmo

More Trivia: Milanesa is borrowed by South Americans from Italian cooking (Milan). The citrus juice in mojo criollo breaks down the meat fibres and makes the meat tender.

By #562152 at 28,Sep,18 21:23

So,you like milanesa, thin steaks from bola or cañada? I bread it and fry it. Sometimes after light frying I cover them in tomato sauce,green olives, onion and artichoke hearts and cover that with mutzarella cheese and stick it in a 350* oven for 20 min. That is milanesa a la Napolitana

EVERY post does not warrant a response and sometimes a member or members will say the same thing, different thread(s). Is it necessary for "ME" to agree or disagree with them with each and every one of their posts? I don't think so.

And I don't understand why you would post this content in a thread that was dedicated to trivia. Wouldn't your thread have been more suited to your post?

Bella, if I had bet $100 on your reaction, I would have won. And it's trivia to me. It's not important, it's unusual and by posting it in more than one thread, I know it will catch the eye of many members. If you want to know why,it started in Mr Blue's forum. And, now, I feel so worked up about it, I wrote a blog. Oh,there's a lot you don't understand about me. One is that I don't look for or care if you agree or disagree with my positions.

The primary motivation of men going to fight in a war is sex. They are willing to risk their lives because they know they can fuck a lot of women and get away with it.

This has been the case since ancient times.

In recent times, for example, many soldiers from the US and Europe voluntarily fought in the Korean war and fucked thousands or millions of Korean women. Later, in the Vietnam war, it was the turn of Korean soldiers, together with US ones, who fucked Vietnamese girls.

As a minor compensation, in 1987, 21 thousand Asian ch1ldrem born from ra.pe by US soldiers were allowed to get a home in the US.

(Many) men go to war because they like to fuck as many women as possible.

Some of these men are later declared heroes.

And here I thought I had the lowest possible opinion of Mankind. While you are just saying something to be obtuse you should really think about saying such things before you speak. There have been so MANY atrocities having to do with pillaging troops thru out history...Japanese invasion of Manchuria, Russian troops in Germany etc. The amount of complete SAVAGERY shown to women by JUST these 2 nations is NOT something to joke about. It was NOT sex these monsters wearing their nation's uniform participated in, but outright **** and torture. Followed by them killing these innocent women after they had used them.

By #562152 at 23,Sep,18 20:47

Men go to war because their governments tell them to. All wars are the result of certain men who are in power and push their countries into war. The maiming, the r.a.p.i.n.g, and indiscriminate killing of non-combatants occur because the troops are not kept under control and man,in it's basest setting, is an animal.

During the 1920s and the American prohibition, Saint-Pierre and Miquelon featured prominently in efforts to smuggle alcohol into the US, with infamous mobsters setting up operations on the island. In fact, even Al Capone used the islands, and was a client of Hotel Robert, a hotel that still operates to this day.

Yes, St. Pierre Miquelon is a French Colony with a population of about 6,500.

You're right. Given that some churches have included paed0ph1lia as part of their practice, that many men have become priests in order to have sex with ch1ldren, we must assume, unless otherwise proven, that the primary motivation of men of church interested in ch1ldren was sex.

But we'll probably never know what they particular priest did. Neither will we ever know what percentage of ch1ldren was sexually abvsed in the past. 20%? 50%? 80%? We'll never know.

From today's paper:

_In 2010, Pope Benedict upgraded the sin of ordaining women to the category of "crime against sacraments", which puts it in the same category as the sin of clerical ch1ld abuse. In other words, ordaining a woman is as bad a sin as abus1ng a ch1ld._
