Wat’s Carbon Water-N-Stuff Thread - Concepts In Iron And Wood!!!

I think that Barry was a patriot. I think that people feared that he'd get us into WW3 by escalating the 'Nam to a very hot conflict. Maybe. Maybe not. In hindsight, the whole thing probably didn't need doing. I'm inclined to think that we wouldn't even have been there were it not for our strange but continued loyalty to Lafayette and the French navy. The entire pantheon knows we have paid them back a gazillion times over. Let's stop now.


Of course, there was this young man named Nguyen who went to Paris in 1919 with a lovely long expressive letter that he wished to give to World War Wilson. Being as he was, basically, nobody, best he could do was get one of WW's aides to take it with the "promise" that he'd get it to the president. I'm 100% positive the only place that Chairman Ho's letter saw was the inside of a waste paper basket. We loved them while they fought the Japanese and then gave them back to the French in 1945, not seeing that the Nazis had destroyed colonialism (on that scale) forever.
Quite correct.

However, because the Russ were not at war with the Japanese, and because the Chinese Red Army was too far away, throughout WW2 the Stalinist V-Coms stayed quiet.

The Chinese Red Army was also out of the anti-Nippon game. Which is why they didn't gain power until 1949.

When the Rev came, it started in Saigon, led by... Trotskyists.

They were murdered.

Stalin's Xmas: Ho, Ho, Ho; Trotsky no mo'!

Vonnegut's: Hi ho.

Mine: Ho Ho, Tranny Ho, phallocracy has gotta go!

Ho was a very determined fellow to get his people out from under colonialism. One takes one's help from whenever it comes, I suppose. Beggars and choosing, that stuff. The world should have paid attention when they kicked out the French in '54.


A lot of the legionnaires who died there in the 50s were Nazi war criminals who joined the Foreign Legion to get Long Gone. They offer a nice package of citizenship, debt forgiveness and reidentification. The biggest problem is, you still have French officers . . . .


Some of the posters here should look into it.
 
The meek man is not a human mouse afflicted with a sense of his own inferiority. He has accepted God's estimate of his own life: In himself, nothing; In God, everything. He knows well that the world will never see him as God sees him and he has stopped caring.

~ A.W. Tozer




Even though the training in ethics takes many forms, the ethics of abandoning the ten non-virtues is their basis. Of the ten non-virtues, three pertain to bodily actions, four to verbal actions, and three to mental actions.


The four verbal non-virtues are:

1. Lying: deceiving others through spoken words or physical gestures.

2. Divisiveness: creating dissension by causing those in agreement to disagree still further.

3. Harshness: abusing others.

4. Senselessness: talking about foolish things motivated by desire and so forth.


The opposite of these ten non-virtues are the ten virtues, and engaging in them is called the practice of ethics.

I did not ever feel the need to visit Europe. So much of it already lives here and you have to ask yourself why.

Finding no good answer, I never found any reason other than, it's old.

Yellowstone is too.

I have decided to give the Lit "gift that keeps on giving" this holiday season, the gift of Iggy. I'm a bit conflicted choosing the recipient.


Allah is correct: it truly is more blessed to give than to receive.

Whereas the human-caused climate change is so popular in modern what-passes-for-culture, research suggests that we're only here because we dodged a near-extinction event hundreds of thousands of years ago. Meaning: if the species snuffs it, the likely cause will be that Mother Earth threw us a deep dickin'.

You can safely load the .45 Colt to higher energy levels than a .44 mag with less pressure and superior to the .357 mag.. That would be my choice in place of a .45-70 in a lever gun. Just sayin'.


So I may rethink the whole lever gun/revolver set for Future Use.


Hmmm . . . .

Interesting:

If you speak Persian, this is even more remarkable than the summary below suggests.An arch-insider says, based on his travels around Iran, that up to 70% of the population backs a monarchic restoration. Because they associate the Pahlavi era with development.
