You don't think Hannibal and Elephants are a little far afield for a what if? I am just saying keep them plausible. An ocean and 2,000 years are not plausible.
I agree but you never know with a "what if?" question 😉
Btw what does "socialism" mean in the US ?
Taking money from people who work and redistributing it to those who don't work.
What does this mean to you :- equal power-relations, - self-management, - dispersed decision-making,- reduction or elimination of hierarchical and bureaucratic forms of administration and governance ?
Perhaps. But my point is about his attitude towards a foreign language; it tells a lot
Whose attitude?
Shep Smith.
I don't necessarily think that this is germane to the discussion. What's next, Dinosaurs with rocket launchers? Any fool can turn a serious discussion frivolous, is that your goal?
It's just about "What if". How serious or frivolous is that? With a "what if" you can recreate the world so ...
Perhaps I'm not understanding what you're trying to say here. But Republican and Democrat are the two parties in America with two different ideologies (for the most part). That's just the way it is. But I prefer the terms Right and Left rather than party names. THAT my friend is where you see the differences.

What if? Err … Hannibal would had crossed the Atlantic and pwned both the Confederacy and the Union with a tactically surreptitious elephantry charge ! 8) (ask any good Military historian)
Of course they don't look scary at all: the Egyptian Army is providing most if not all presidents since Muhammad Naguib, Gamal Abdel Nasser, Anwar El Sadat and Hosni Sayyid Mubarak. Low profile but still in the run !

The article is essentially a screed against us stupid Americans who only watch FoxNews and believe everything they put on the air.
About Fox, it seems to be right .... ::)
Which part, that stupid Americans watch FOX or that they believe everything they see? Be careful, your answer is likely to reveal some of your own biases.
As you wrote this sentence, you should have the answer. 😀Personally I was referring to FoxNews only and I'm bit surprised to notice how people were reacting : the first thing coming in mind seems to check if someone is wether Republican or Democrat ... That's funny and worrying as well : as if nothing's worth to be considered outside Little-Rome ;D
Ancient Rome...perhaps the greatest civilization of the ancient world, and still a topic which inspires awe when we consider all that she had to offer. Engineering marvels, technology, military strength....these are some of the advantages that the city used to build success upon success. Her glory lasted for hundreds and hundreds of years and have basically shaped Western Civilization to one degree or another.Step ahead to modern times, and we have a nation which is arguably comparable to ancient Rome - the United States. The U.S.'s strengths are similar, though not necessarily identical to, those of Rome. What The U.S.'s strengths are similar, though not necessarily identical to, those of Rome. and economy in the world; research and development (technology) which arguable leads the world; and a democratic form which has stood the test of time and become a model for other nations to follow.
The problem is that your comparison is biased:- The U.S.'s strengths are similar, though not necessarily identical to, those of Rome. Explain- research and development (technology) which arguable leads the world What exactly ?- a democratic form which has stood the test of time and become a model for other nations to follow Examples ?As you write : Step ahead to modern times, and we have a nation which is arguably comparable to ancient Rome - the United States.My last question is : is this a personal opinion supported with an objective analysis or else ?

The Empty Chamber: Just how broken is the Senate? This is probably one of the best and most reasoned pieces I have read about how the Senate works in the present. It verrry long but well worth reading. At the end of it, I dont think the author comes down on any side other than that the Senate needs to actually start engaging in substantive debate versus posturing for the cameras. Very excellent and thoughtful piece with no partisan bent that I could discern.
Did you update your first post ?update :I got wrong, sorry
My new philosophy towards the Leftists is to calmly and matter of factly tell them the truth once or point out their error. If they can't handle it, too bad. Walk away.
I noticed your new quote by Professor Philip Stott : ?'Global warming' has become the grand political narrative of the age, replacing Marxism as a dominant force for controlling liberty and human choices."I guess you've heard about P. Stott: he is a life-long UK Labour supporter and he is mildly left wing politically. Are Leftists not so "disgusting" when it comes to support some point of view ? 8)
A Norwegian parliamentarian has nominated Wikileaks founder Julian Assange for the 2011 Nobel Peace Prize (ONE parliamentarian)The Norwegian Nobel Committee group's website noted it receives more than 200 nominations per year.Only a select group of government officials and members of academia can propose candidates for the award, according to committee rules.http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wikileaks-julian-assange-nominated-nobel-peace-prize/story?id=12825383 Surprisingly, it seems I don't have the same reading as you ! Why ? ???
