There is a huge effort by some people in the genealogy world to try and trace their ancestors to the Domesday Book. I know I can't.
I”ve seen the Domesday book! when it was on tour at the Tower of London. I tried to sneak a digital pic of it but only caught the corner of a page.
Plus, if a country enters the war late, they are fresh and are full of supplies. Production numbers have also been used to determine if strategic bombing is effective.
They had an author on NPR yesterday regarding a book titled “Crayons to Condoms” that covered just that point.
Has anyone played any Civil War computer games? I'm interested in trying one out but I want it to be a good one.
I'm with Scout 100%. While I understand that we should play nice with our treaties and such, but not to the detriment to our own country.I also agree that we spend too much on foreign aid and not enough on our own problems. But I'm all for private citizens sending whatever they want. Jolie-Pitt can give as much of their hard-earned cash to whoever they want. But don't be so free to spend my tax money all over the globe when we have energy and education problems that could use the money.
Ok now that you have spelled that out. Multiculturalism will NOT work for THIS country. It must not be forced on us even from those within that think its a good idea. If we do, some other culture will set up shop in this country and grow until it is the dominant culture. Then once it has enough power to provide enough votes, our nation could be irrevocably changed. I cannot let that happen.
I think the melting pot is the way to go. Just like a crucible filled with many type of metal can create an alloy that is stronger than any of the individual metals in the pot. This country was the same up through the 19th century. We are a stronger nation with a collection of different cultures melted into the American Culture. But when you get cultures that want to be separate, just like in a piece of alloy, it creates a weakness in the material. Jumping to the idea of multiple language for a second. The NEED for English to be the official language is the fact that we have so many cultures here. If a person of Japanese origin wants to go to Miami for spring break, English is the comon language that both the hispanics in S.Florida and Japanese Americans can communicate with. Same goes for all the nationalitites. English is the language that unites us. Do not destroy the things that unite us.Back to multiculturalism. Everyone has something to add to this country. That is where multiculturalism helps. Being focused on one way and closed to new ideas is not how this country got to where it is. Other cultures broaden out arts and increase our academic pools. And there is a way to recognize all the cultures, wearing green on St Patrick's Day, Hawaiian shirt friday, Sinco de Mayo. I'm sure every sports bar out there would love another reason to have a party, what's yours?
This may be the next step of the discussion, once we have labeled someone (or group) terrorists, what is the best way to deal with them? The military works, to a point. Education–on both sides. Isolating them. I'm sure there are a lot of avenues that could be pursued.
