davknight comments on Nov 18, 2019:

Butler gave his famous "War is a racket" speech before Congress, when he was informing them of a plot by Ford Motor Company, and US Steel, to overthrow the US Government, and install a Fascist regime, that would be better for big business. What happened to the conspirators? Absolutely nothing! It was quietly swept under the rug, since many members of the plot were sitting members of Congress! Smedley Butler had originally been approached by the conspirators to command an army of disgruntled war veterans, that they hoped would be like Mussolini's Black Shirts, and the Nazi Brown Shirts. Fortunately, Butler decided to spill the beans on them instead.

What are the major differences between Socialism and Anarchism?

davknight comments on Nov 16, 2019:

Anarchism is what you get, when you go so far left, you fall off the spectrum. Klanarchism is what you get, when you go so far right, you fall off the edge. Anarchists are opposed to government from the top down; but support government from the bottom up. Socialists are more in favor of stronger government from the top down. Want to start a good brawl? Lock a bunch of Anarchists and Socialists together in the same room. During the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), the Fascists won because the Anarchists, Socialists, and Communists spent more time shooting one another, than they did in shooting Fascists. (That is what is known as a 'dialogue on the Left').

Back in the 1970s, somebody did a genetic study of White Southerners, and Yankees. They found that less than 10 percent of Yankees even had an ancestor living here, while the Civil War was going on. And of Southerners, only about 50 percent had a Civil War era ancestor. As that study was done fifty years ago, we can imagine that even fewer White Americans can claim a Civil War ancestor nowadays. The problem with all this 'beating a dead horse' nonsense, is that the idiots wielding the sticks aren't even descended from people who were living here at the time!

Where's Rudy?

davknight comments on Nov 2, 2019:

A few weeks after being named President Trump’s cybersecurity adviser, Rudy Giuliani visited an Apple Store in San Francisco for help unlocking his iPhone. Giuliani had forgotten the passcode. He entered the wrong one at least 10 times, prompting the phone to lock up, NBC News reported, citing two people familiar with the matter and a photo of an internal Apple store memo. "Very sloppy," a former Apple store employee who was there in February 2017 when Giuliani stopped by told NBC News. "Trump had just named him as an informal adviser on cybersecurity and here, he couldn’t even master the fundamentals of securing your own device." Giuliani took to Twitter to defend his 2017 mishap, saying that "we're all human." "Last I checked the FBI, last year, had to ask Apple to unlock an iPhone too!" Giuliani tweeted on Halloween night. "We’re all human, just maybe not tonight ..." (From AOL News)

What do you guys think about arranged marriage vs love marriage?

davknight comments on Oct 19, 2019:

Prior to about 1800, MOST marriages amongst Europeans, and Americans, were arranged. Parents began looking for potential husbands for their daughters, once the girl had her first period. This meant that most girls were married off by the time they were 13-15. Males, on the other hand, weren't considered to have a 'lick of sense' until they were 21. And so, it was common for 21-25 yr old men to be married to 13-15 yr old girls.For commoners, potential spouses were found locally. But, since Colonial, and Early American frontier folk generally settled down in close proximity to kin folk, it wasn't uncommon for them to marry cousins The wealthy could afford to be more choosy. Average life expectancy was 45. And such marriages generally lasted until 'death did them part'. The bad thing of course, was that people were married off to mates that they might not have found physically attractive. Wealthy men resolved this by taking 'mistresses' on the side. Poorer men had to settle for tavern maids, and 'harlots'. Did the women keep 'misters' on the side? Many wealthy women did. But rich or poor, they had to be more discreet, as 'what was good for the gander' was not deemed socially appropriate for the 'goose' (i.e. double standard). For those married off to cousins, there was a higher proportion of children born with birth defects. ("Idiot" children, as they were often referred to by census takers of the time). The idea of laissez faire marriages grew out of the eighteenth-century European Enlightenment. And by the time the nineteenth-century came along, arranged marriages became less common. (Except amongst the Rich, who wanted their daughters married off to the sons of other rich folk until well into the twentieth-century. Arranged marriages generally lasted longer (resulting in fewer 'broken homes'). While laissez faire marriages meant a financial bonanza for divorce lawyers!

A few years before that, a Brazilian diplomat's kid raped and murdered a young woman in Washington D.C. He then hightailed it back to Brazil, untouchable, because of 'diplomatic immunity'. The thing to do, is to abolish 'diplomatic immunity'. If we can't commit crimes in other peoples' countries, without having to answer for it, why should diplomats and their families be immune from prosecution?

And the Americans would use Turkey as a dump for storing hydrogen bombs, and later--nuclear-tipped Cruise missiles.
