My father's hair and my grandfather's nose -- as well as why the family fortune was used to start up one of the HBCs (Historically Black Colleges).
It all falls into place now. It raised a lot of "WTF?" and other angst the first month or so after it had been verified, but after that, its just a lot of "Meh, ok, that's interesting." - it doesn't change anything as far as I'm concerned. Maybe that's for the best.
It doesn't change a thing! But the perspective it gives, is that what happened CAN'T be changed.
That history is edited so that it is slanted this way and the next, is important as it is used to form young minds. Easier to manipulate that way, IMO.
But...gheesh, the way to get over racial disharmony is to get over racial disharmony. Its sad people can't figure that one out.
If as much effort had been put to that, as the divide and conquer method, imagine where the world could be!
I agree with you. The way to get over it, is to get over it and move forward. We can not have world leaders that can not. As long as we are stuck with having 'world' leaders.
I'm still wondering why they are called leaders, when the clock always moves closer to midnite.
As a country, the USA has deeply injured the world and it's a national obligation to right that wrong as much as possible. For us to try to safeguard our 2nd Amendment rights at the expense of lives of innocents worldwide doesn't fly in my book. -- Pinguinite http://freedom4um.com/cgi-bin/readart.cgi?ArtNum=78060&Disp=44#C44
Anyone that runs a Global business is as guilty as any of us for enriching and empowering the behemoth. No?

I read somewhere and long time ago, that our test on Earth, was to see if we could live together as one.
It has failed everywhere.
We have failed.

I won't Bozo you but I'd slap you silly if I could. Since I can't, slap yourself instead.
After thoughtfully considering your gracious invitation, I have decided to decline your suggestion. However, should you find yourself lacking options on what to do with your time later, perhaps you might consider fertilizing yourself?
Gold and silver are REAL money, paper is but a promise.
Pep, respectfully I submit to you that there are Americans that run businesses on a global scale and put America first.
It is really not that difficult, but it requires balance, priorities and desire.
True. Each country should put their own needs first. Fair trade where both/all parties have mutual benefit.

If you prefer not to do the gentlemanly thing, that is all right. The people here have seen what you wrote along with your vulgar language.
Yes, well, when people openly ridicule me for refusing to endorse the deaths of 10's of thousands of innocent people to further 2A activism, it gets me worked up. (I'll refer you to my hypothetical thread:)
So if you feel genuinely hurt for being called a shill, while I may be tempted to start crying on your behalf, at least you weren't assaulted by mindless bimbos with the moral depth of a mud puddle. I would also point out that one post suggesting you are a shill pales in comparison to the relentless hammering you dole out on Ron Paul on these pages alone, and yet Ron Paul has done far more for freedom is his life than you (and anyone else here) has ever done. It's a classic case of sour grapes.
As for your complaint of my choice of words in expressing my outrage, I happen to know this 4um is equipped with a profanity filter, which the owner has opted NOT to use. So while you may well choose to compare 4um to a church, you must certainly accept the pastor's permissive rules on vulgarity. Or if you have a burning desire to not have vulgarity penetrate your eyes, I suggest you take it up with the owner.
BTW, I am thankful to report that the vast majority of respondents share my moral code. That has reaffirmed my faith in the majority of 4umer's, and also illustrated that those who slander me are certainly just a small minority.
Having seen a great deal of this old world, met a lot of people, good and bad, I still like people.
So do I.

There you go again.
What the hell are you talking about?
Please, there is a 12-step program somewhere, probably even online, that will be of great assistance to you if you apply yourself.

Neil... I do not see the word "shill" in there anywhere.
If apology is beyond you, not a problem. It just seems that I and others here had greatly misjudged you.

Maybe it's because I swear too much.

Will you accept a , even though it is store bought and not home made?
Yum! Thank you very much!

On LP I am on 6 member's lists. It was 3 for the longest time. I think it went up because I am constantly calling e-type_jag a fag.
Hahahaha 'e_type_fag', I call him.
I have nothing against homosexuals.
I just do it to bug him.
Hahahahaha
Don't tell him that.
Notice not one example of vulgarity?
Unless you count 'fag'.

Listen, it seems your intellect is sharing the same mud puddle as your morals so I'm going to put you on bozo, okay? Don't take it too hard though. I'll probably take you back off when you get into 6th or 7th grade.
Be good, and tell your mom that your finished using the computer, okay?
I don't have anyone on bozo. I can certainly understand why someone would use it though.
I think people should be nice.

If you are the standard bearer for 'intellect' as it goes for the 'resistance', I heartily welcome being placed on your filter.
