That really was my point in the other thread where this onversation first came up. If not Hitler I think someone else would have done the same thing and played on the Germans frustrations and humiliation to get them to rise up again. Though had it not been Hitler I wonder how much of the 'world domination' mindset would have been in play.
I dont think someone has to have an interest in history to appriciate humankind and the world around us. I just think there is more to life then what Brangalina is up to these days. 😀
Half of all accidents are caused by drunk drivers. I dont think prohibition curbed alcoholisim at all and families are still being torn apart by alcohol. But is it the alcohols fault or the alcoholic? Alcohol is an inaniment object, a tool, a thing. We ourselves must be responsible as to how it is used. And yes we have become more sensitive to certain crimes, but they are still a major problem. We as humans can make anything we want a dangerous thing, so whats the answer prohibit cars? Puppies? (ok I'm not sure how they could be made to be dangerous. :-D) Anyway I dont think the 18th was good for the country. We all know the otherside of that coin and the problems that were caused by prohibition.

Thats kind of why I included him, Common Sense was quite a spark. I personally woul d never vote for him and I dont think anyone else will either but his influence on the others of his time I thought earned him an honerable mention.
Agreed. So really comparing alcohol to illeagal drugs is ridiculous, thats why I think that Prohibition was unnecessary. Again in the end we have to be responsible for our own behavior.
Well this thread got totally hijacked 😀 So I am going to hijack it again, I was listening to the radio today and they mentioned that there were 4 states that were commonwealths: Virginia, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Kentucky. So Since you Donnie are from Kentucky I thought i would ask what a commonwealth was and why these states chose to refer to themselves as such.
what does it mean when you see that a 'guest' is posting on a particular thread and then the post never appears?
If they were inside the U.S. I could see them pressing charges for buying stolen goods if they wanted to push the issue, it is up to the buyer to make sure the property is legit.
