  1. So one of the reasons I moved this direction while doing my masters coursework is because the history I am interested in with World War II has to do with the Pacific theater. One place I knew I wanted to visit (It will be multiple visits to take it all in) is the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific. I know many of you have been there and yesterday I decided to go. It was as serene and peaceful a place as I have ever stepped foot in, cemetery or not. I took some pictures and I will post more later, but this grave was one I wanted to pay my respects to. What a journey he had in his forty plus years of life.Not too hard to find and there is a computer outside the visitor center where you can print out locations of graves you want to see. I don’t think I have to explain this guy to anyone reading this thread. Buried between two unknown soldiers is absolutely fitting since he was their voice and their friend.
  2. There were so many things that led to what happened in the 30’s and 40’s that it’s takes books being written about all of the different events. The Washington Naval Treaty of 1921 was a big middle finger to Japan. They felt they were relegated to being under the thumb of the United States and Britain in the Far East. That and many other things set them on their self-destruction tour from 1931-1945.
  3. Yes it is effective messaging. Democrats should really tee off and quit being so formal when talking about traitors. You could probably add in about a 100 other words as well to really drive home the point about what a waste of a human life he is.
  4. He’s a first ballot Moron Hall of Famer. The United States Navy would make the loss for the Russians at Tsushima look like a great outcome for this incarnation of its navy. It’s like putting FAMU’s football team up against the early 90’s Cowboys. I mean Jesus tapdancing Christ their navy can’t even handle doing anything well fighting against Ukraine. We would not lose a single capital ship fighting against this array of clown college grads currently in control in Russia.
  5. What I have found out on my own has been the years is that the flu is the worst I have ever felt while sick. The only way I helped to mitigate it the times I did have it was to go to the hospital and get an IV. I got better far quicker doing that than trying to ride it out in the bed at home.
  6. He probably would’ve had better clothing to start with than most of that force.
  7. Pretty wild stuff there. Thanks for educating me. How much do you think of the move west was necessitated by the volatile nature of so many currencies?
  8. Cowards, traitors, racists and maybe even Methodists.
  9. This sounds very Emperor Hirohito adjacent. The emperor really means this, but he just isn’t saying that so I’ll go do what I really think he wants done.
  10. The amount of decisions made in human history where unintended consequences eventually showed up are as numerous as the sand on the seashore. We are still reeling from decisions the CIA and American government made in Central America six decades ago. I use that one as a point of reference every single time someone tells me we shouldn’t be taking in anymore immigrants from there. We created the problem, fubar’d several countries for decades at every level and then have the audacity to blame their situation entirely on them.
  11. Not that this hasn’t been said plenty, but man when they didn’t execute every single traitor at the end of the Civil War, well, that was not our finest moment. Should have lined up the lot of them from Lee on down to every officer in the traitor army and had them hung. Those old confederate states are mostly worthless husks that are net takers and they always will be.
  12. You know how many morons I have listened to that think running the country IS like running a regular business? We have so many dumb people.
  13. What I wouldn’t trade for Bill Walton to still be here to see this. His over-the-top reactions would be fantastic.
  14. But the fish tank is cool!
  15. The woman singing America the Beautiful today was, in her words, “canceled” by the mayor of New Orleans for singing at an outdoor Christian gathering in 2020. They were told not to remove the masks in public because of the spread of COVID, but did that matter to this paragon of virtue? You know the answer. It was all God’s master plan to get her to perform at the Super Bowl. I get so bent out of shape at these frauds using Jesus like this.
  16. The orange god king’s life is one long waste of time. Maybe he’ll end that soon too.
  17. I have not heard him before today. He is awful as a broadcaster. I hope he wrecks his boat while binging on coke.
  18. I am sorry for what is transpiring for you personally. We are officially a nation run by garbage people. I have to watch this game because of work. I haven’t watched it since the Patriots-Seahawks. The entire thing feels like I stepped into a different timeline. Not fun at all watching the country torn down while millions of people care more about this game than the future for them and their family.
  19. Ja Morant’s dad seems like a loose cannon. Looks like he unloaded the whole nine yards on the officials tonight. The words he pulled from his arsenal appear to have really pissed off those officials. Listening to the younger Morant’s comments made it seem like dad was giving him some covering fire so he wouldn’t get ejected.
  20. A lot of it is how these guys are built and the overuse in their formative years. I believe that guys specializing in one sport is not good overall for them either.
  21. Seems like he might be a guy that does not have a long career.
  22. Hard to say if he would’ve played any longer than AD before getting another injury. He’s played in just 40 percent of all the games he could have for Charlotte.
  23. Knecht has to be the happiest player in the league right now.
  24. I cut off a friend of 20+ years last summer who would not stop spamming me stuff about Billy Carson. That guy is a weapon’s grade moron.
