  1. AH challenge: Germany regarded as Asian

    In the 15th century, scholars realize that, in fact, Europe is not a continent but a peninsular extension of Asia Major. Archeological findings soon prove that all Indoeuropean peoples came originally from Asia. Thereafter, all speakers of Indoeuropean languages are officially Asian. Basques and...
  2. September 11th,1993

    Was the "terrorism" committed by the French (so-called) Resistance justified? Was the "terrorism" of the Sons of Liberty justified? As Karkov (Stalin's man in Spain in RL as well) tells Jordan, in For Whom the Bell Tolls, "We cannot tolerate acts of terror committed by individuals . . . there...

    What about the gov't's act of terrorism at Waco? You can excuse gov't terrorism apparently; it's only the acts of NGT's (Non-Gov't Terrorists) that are "inexcusable." When a gov't commits an act of terrorism and refuses to justly dispose of the matter, what is to be done? The gov't had to pay...

    Because I am a liberal.
  5. September 11th,1993

    The only "hatred" involved was hatred of the terrorists who burned those babies at Waco. The OKC federal building was their regional headquarters. If Congress had done its job and punished the terrorists, Tim McVeigh wouldn't've had to. Personally, I think McVeigh should've gone with Plan...
  6. Battle of Actium(Cleopatra wins)

    The Parthian Dynasty's power rested in thier control of the Hellenized Iranians who lived west of the Zagros and eventually (around 300AD or so) overthrew the Parthian Dynasty on thier own. With support from the Egyptian Greeks, they might've rebelled sooner.
  7. Battle of Actium(Cleopatra wins)

    Was Cleo and Caesar's son still alive at that time? Wouldn't they make him Emporer of Rome and Egypt?

    Wow, bondoc, nice cut-n-paste job from the Southern Poverty Law Center fundraising email. Too bad that everybody else familiar with it, including the Federal gov't, say that the Waco Holocaust was what got McVeigh thinking and the Assault Weapons Ban is what pushed him into action. McVeigh...
  9. What If There Was No Crack?

    Some freebaser in some other organic chemistry class will figure it out. PS--Crack is actually a pretty good high if used responsibly--and most crack-users do use it so.
  10. Drugs Legalized in US 1973

    Crack is no more addictive than powder; both are probably less addictive than meth--which can be cooked-up in under an hour by anyone. The biggest danger that heroin presents is from the impurities with which it is stepped-on. LSD has been proven to cure alcoholics (as well as heroin...
  11. Drugs Legalized in US 1973

    How many is a buttload? 580 elected Libertarians nationwide--out of how many millions of elected officials?
  12. September 11th,1993

    The OKC Bombing was in retaliation for the Congressional whitewash of the Waco Holocaust and passage of the Assault Weapons Ban, according to the authors of American Terrorist: Tim McVeigh and the Oklhoma City Bombing. Tim McVeigh, a Catholic, stopped being religious as a teenager when his mom...
  13. Drugs Legalized in US 1973

    Was the Libertarian Party ever alive?
  14. Terrorists attack Aswan High Dam

    Sounds like someone watched Omen III: The Final Conflict last night. A terrorist attack on the "Aswan High Dam" figures heavily into the plot.
  15. Whitney Conceals Cotton Gin

    Slavery should, indeed, end sooner since it was the invention of the cotton gin that made cotton king.
  16. The Comstock Lode

    Hehe. Looks like some folks watched the History Channel last night.
  17. WI Brian Jones gets the drop on Jagger?

    Everyone knows that Mick Jagger murdered Brian Jones to take control of the band. Suppose Jones got to Jagger and murdered him first? Three decades (70s, 80s, and 90s) of crappy Stones tunes would've never been recorded!
  18. Musicians co-operate

    Why no mention of Kieth Moon and John Entwistle leaving the Who and joining the new band Jimmy Page was forming? OTL: When this idea was brought up, Moon said: "Right. That would go over like a lead balloon." Instead, Page got John Bonham to play drums and John Paul Jones to play base and...
  19. September 11th,1993

    Clinton and the Democrat-controlled congress would've used it as a pretext for door-to-door gun confiscation. It would've been blamed on "crazy" militia types retaliating for the Waco Holocaust five months earlier.
  20. Iraqi War POD

    The UK had to follow the US into Iraq for the same reason the US had to follow England into Kuwait: the 1908 (or was it 1907 ?) bailout of the US treasury by the House of Rothschild/Bank of England. The London-New York banking axis actually holds a mortgage on "all of the land and people of...
