  1. Could the rise of Jim Crow have been prevented?

    Okay... What the HELL? Advocating mass murder, support for the KKK as just being a reaction to the times? I'm closing what should have been a very low conflict thread before it turns into a full out bloodbath.
  2. Could the rise of Jim Crow have been prevented?

    How is killing EVERY single officer just? That is advocating mass murder. See ya in 7.
  3. How hot can the Cold War get without turning into full on nuclear war.

    DO NOT drag current politics outside of Chat. Report and walk away.
  4. Could the rise of Jim Crow have been prevented?

    Where? That was in a reply to a member being kicked for supporting the KKK. You then referred to two MOVIES as your documentation. That's where.
  5. How hot can the Cold War get without turning into full on nuclear war.

    DO NOT drag current politics outside of Chat.
  6. The Ultimate "Continuations of the Roman Empire" Poll

    Y'all best start getting back to civil discussion about something that happened 6+ centuries ago or there will be unfortunate results.
  7. Could the rise of Jim Crow have been prevented?

    Did you actually suggest that two MOVIES, one based on a Mark Twain tale are a worth-while thing to study that JUSTIFIES the KKK? That the fact that society as a whole was more violent makes lynching, burning, rape, and wholesale murder done in the explicit cause of racism reasonable? That while...
  8. Earlier radios=no trench warfare?

    Have to disagree. Best place to fight a plane from is below level ground, with only the gunners exposed. Trenches became inevitable once the ability to flank positions went away. This is why the Eastern Front in WW I never entirely froze in place, there was too much space, too much terrain to...
  9. Earlier radios=no trench warfare?

    Radio makes the trenches even more likely. with radio you can call for help from heavy guns 15 miles away, far out of sight of the battle field.
  10. AHC:*BAD* USA Olympic results...

    No they wouldn't be more competitive. There might be different countries that dominated, but it would be the same as now. All you have to do is look back at the old Soviet and East German teams. They were professionals in all but name. Their athletes were generally "militarily personnel" (who...
  11. AHC:*BAD* USA Olympic results...

    Bus accident in Lake Placid 1980. Nothing fatal, couple broken bones among the Speed Skating Team. U.S. won 12 medal in Lake Placid (3rd place), eight of them were by three speed skaters: Eric Heiden (5 G), Leah Poulos Mueller (2 S), Beth Heiden (1 B). Without those three athletes you wind up...
  12. Does Japan Have Any Chance Of Winning In WW2?

    Take the harbor or take and HOLD the Island? Smash and grab is a very different matter than military occupation and long term control. There were periods early in the U.S. occupation of the Islands that American military presence was minimal, taking the area would be doable in that early period...
  13. Could the rise of Jim Crow have been prevented?

    Really? Apologizing for the KKK because it was a violent time? This is your third kick, and seventh action overall in about nine weeks of membership. That is close to a record. Not a record you want to have. Consider this a last chance. I already had the Ban button selected for this little...
  14. Could the rise of Jim Crow have been prevented?

    Dude, You WON the argument. Let it go.
  15. Could the rise of Jim Crow have been prevented?

    The total cost was greater. $5.2B to $3.2B. Only $3.4B was paid off before the bills for the Spanish American War started to come into the mix. It can be argued, with some success that the U.S. is STILL paying for the Civil War since there are two women still receiving ACW pensions that were...
  16. Could the rise of Jim Crow have been prevented?

    The biggest roadblock to this (entirely sensible) gradual end, even with compensation, is that it was impossible to buy all the slaves in the South. The value of Slaves held in the South at the start of the Civil War was ~$3.2B (@ $800 per individual). The entire U.S. government Budget in 1860...
  17. Napalm vs Fuel/Air against infantry?

    Didn't we do this one already???
  18. Could the rise of Jim Crow have been prevented?

    Unlikely. The only way it works is if the Federal government keeps serious firepower in the South, long past the end of overt policing by troops IOTL. There was no real mechanism at the time for the Feds to do something like this. If Congress had wanted to spend the funds it could have...
  19. If Italy had the mindset of the early Romans, how different would the World Wars have been?

    You were afforded time to provide documentation to support you rather outrageous claims and slurs about modern day Italians. You failed to do so. You have since doubled down in other threads taking pot shots at various ethnic groups that seem to have failed to live up to some "standard"...
