I'm not surprised that Trump has contracted covid with his blatant disregard of protective measures but i am surprised that he was close enough to Melania to infect her.

Well this is disappointing.

Moravian comments on Sep 20, 2020:

Indian cricket is way down the list in value in world terms and even the vastly wealthy English premier league comes behind American football,baseball and basketball. It is interesting that some previous British colonies have adopted cricket as their national game. I was lambasted by one of the conservative members here when I suggested that the British empire wasn't all bad and left some useful legacies in former colonies. I was referring to bureaucracies, legal system and railways and I suppose you could add cricket to the list.

Moravian comments on Sep 16, 2020:

When I joined this site I also joined a pro Trump group for a laugh. It was when fires were raging in California and Trump made his comment about raking the forests. I had a little debate with a Californian resident and she posted a photo of a massive machine with an eight foot blade. A bit like a bulldozer but a serrated blade in front and she said "this is a forest rake" Although I have worked in forestry most of my life I have never seen such a machine. I presume it is used to pile up brash after a clear fell. To think that such a machine could be used in fire protection is laughable but it just shows the level of self delusion of Trumpers.

Paddy got of the train and went to the toilet and saw this row of cubicles numbered WC1 to WC6, so he went to cubicle WC2, knocked on the door and said "are you Dunne in there ". A muffled reply came back "yes ,hold on I will be finished in a minute" Paddy replied "Well phone your motherr she is worried sick about you"

Tell that to the hundreds and thousands of Africans transported to the new world. I wouldn't presume to argue with all the scholars quoted in the article but surely it was only the renaissance, reformation and European enlightenment that really changed people's outlook. Sure the Roman Catholic church had scholars but they still kept the populace ignorant and controlled . It was after the reformation that the church of Scotland sponsored parish schools and Grammar schools to educate the common people. Scotland had five universities when England only had two and had the best educated population in Europe at one time.
