    War in Europe, 1939 !

    Heck Belly Tank don't be surprised. We aren't a bunch of young snots that just got out of todays schools where they cover WW II in 1 1/2 pages from a book.:D

    Remembering my childhood

    A lovely and wonderous time for you! I find it curiously amazing how our human brains can return to the past immediately with clear visions from memory or fantasy. Your remembrances are so clear that they would almost lend themselves to a fantastic childrens' story. I bet you'd have fun...

    Russians on the moon

    Tom I believe you are correct to assume that once any large scale colonization and /or mining begins on the moon nothing will stop it. There are any living bacteria or anythig else there so that will not be a factor. I still forsee international conglomerates funding substantal efforts...

    Russians on the moon

    At the time Cortez came we need to remember most of his crew were not soldiers. Even the military men had no experience in large scale combat from any venue in Europe. These guys were signed up to share in whatever spoils were obtained in exchange for them doing their jobs. Firstly, Central...

    Racial profiling for the sake of harassment is not the same thing as racial profiling for indentification and descriptive purposes. Any crime, once commited, has witness descriptions broadcast with it. Characteristics basically include race, sex, age, height, weight, complexion, clothing color...

    "The Death of the Grown-up"

    Paisley, I think we stop mentally aging somewhere just past 30. We mentally imagine ourselves at that point always. So when we see the birthdays of all the rock 'n rollers in the mid to late 60s it is kind of a shock. We can be 65 and watch a 65 year old singer and it doesn't compute in our...

    Trading stamps

    lol It tickles me to know some others remember those wacky stamps too. Guess I shouldn't be surprized though. Oww. That just made me remember the cigarette coupons and the associated catalogs with stuff you could order. I'm sure there were a few who smoked more so they could get a...

    War in Europe, 1939 !

    Why not get involved in a discussion? That's what this place is for isn't it? Quite salient points! Nothing is as simple as it is proported to be. We can look back to our schooling and recall how we parroted dates and events while knowing absolutely nothing about the deeper stories.

    July 1st 1916 (THE SOMME)

    These are the sober moments in history when we must look at the hoopla over 3,000 killed in several years by comparison.

    Movies And Their Profanity

    Dutchman you have a point there. I think there are more movies/shows about the infamous rather than famous and principal characters are more often protagonists rather than "heros." Hmmm?

    Airport Security

    Chanfan you have it right on there. It's a reactive orchestration instead of a proactive one. They know guns and knives are bad so they ban and scan for anything with even a hint at a shape point including tweezers. No you feel safe right? Next 1 guy has some sort of alleged explosive in...

    King Tut's Curse, Redux

    Certainly he could have obtained a smaller piece there. A pocket-sized item could have gone unnoticed especially if it was uncatelogued. There have been ungoing digs there despite the fact that the discovered tombs are pretty well immune to theviery due to the fact that their contents are in...

    Russians on the moon

    Nationalism has nothing to do with the reality that no one has the proper hardware to mount as realistically serious venture beyond Earth. The Russians only shuttle sits is a park with kids playing on it and all they know is what we know- chemically powered rockets can shoot something into...

    Russians on the moon

    The error in peering back through the veils of history with today's values is that we get statements such as the Inca (and all pre-Colombian indiginious people) got screwed. It is past history and no revisionism will change it. What we fine cultured folks today see as a bleeding heart...

    "The Death of the Grown-up"

    Ok where do active seniors land in this? When I was a kid in the 50s men retired at 65, sat on the front porch for 2 years and promptly died of heart-related illness. No wonder SS was riding high! People over 60 didn't DO anything. I went to houses with my grandma, who was a do-er, where...
