  1. He was an explorer.His dreams and his greed did compelled him,but regardless of who was flipping the bill,no matter the nation of finance, the exploitation would follow, as a matter of fact. An Oppenheimer's dilemma of sorts. "Lies my teacher told me" would be simplistic at best.As would judging a man from the distant past by today's moral standard. I find reading what he wrote, without prejudice a great looking glass. “Let those who are fond of blaming and finding fault while they sit safely at home ask, ‘Why did you not do thus and so?’ I wish they were on this voyage.
  2. Or a board member of Tavistock?
  3. I believe the protocol is affirmation.
  4. LOL the joke IS ON Me! All in my haste to aggrivate, you see, even spell check can't save me. Wow...thanks. Good vibes being a rarity, and in all sincerity, "Respect...Dude". Could you PM me, or just give me a reference to your Avatar,sure seems like an "oh shit I thought I was going to die" moment.
  5. It's quite oblious, you don't. If you're trying to bait me into saying the forbidden word, it won't work. I won't attack you,with that word. But to correct you, my video references are not "bias",they are based.
  6. We collectively, should know there is only one "World view" allowed on these forums.So I commend you in not blocking him,but disappointed that you actually block others, with what I assume a different worldview.I'm sure you have the heart of a lion, so why be bothered by the barks of dogs. When My Right was abridged here, I was amazed.I told everyone I could at the DZ, twenty or so customers, and as many acquaintances.When I was asked where, I replied dropzonedotcom. The consensus was "oh that's a thing?" LOL My daughter told me "Dad they don't give a shit about Your rights".Slowly shaking her head in rejection to each word I spat,The Principal...The First Amendment ... They're Intellect... I'll agree, Sir. History can be stranger than fiction. I believe at Harvard, inferring that someone is "clueless" constitutes a micro aggregation.Just a Warning: On these forum it will get you warned,a mark placed upon on your permanent record.Sooner or later resulting in being banned,excommunicated from the collective. On the lighter side... https://babylonbee.com/news/harvard-student-leaves-lecture-on-microaggressions-to-attend-kill-the-jews-rally
  7. And the list goes on and on... how about Taxes,insurance, the cost of living and housing that lead to a #1 in https://www.auditor.ca.gov/issues/briefs/housing-and-homelessness If you're familiar with the film Idiocracy, there was a great garbage avalanche.... On the northern edges of LA there are three landfills also growing to epic proportions.The Chiquita,Sunshine and Lopez Canyon landfills chances of avalanche are slim,but who knows what the future holds. There's a great updated version to the film, "Don't look up" it has a great cast. Covid and the critics didn't appreciate the political depictions, so it got no tomatoes,but a cult classic in the making.
  8. Karma will do, https://www.campusreform.org/article/prof-says-all-hell-broke-loose-harvard-study-found-no-racial-bias-police-shootings/24908
  9. A single definition of woke would be arbitrary at best but toxic nonetheless. Like the Millions wasted on Henry Rogers one of our highest paid activist. Fiction Author of "Antiracist Baby" and rigorous Academic three worded names like Ibram X Kendi, and the Department of Anti-Racism. https://dailyfreepress.com/2023/09/21/amid-mass-layoffs-bu-center-for-antiracist-research-accused-of-mismanagement-of-funds-disorganization/ In all honesty your vid timed out so I wasn't able to view it.
  10. I'll agree, Some also say he was a Jew, others Portuguese or Spamish. Others say from the non sicilian part of Italy Genoa, but not Bolona.With a bio like that.One would assume, he was American. LOL But what would that have to do with the 11 or Columbus Day. Is there any debate about the New Orleans lynching.
  11. I'd suggest an edit to britannica. I was in awe with your bullet point assessment of the prevailing conventional wisdom, as it applied to the origins of covid,so I'd love to hear you out. My opinion is we just have a Salami Day, and call it good.
  12. I'll have to disagree with you and Cubans assessment, in that they have everything to do with one another. There's a trait among exceptional leadership in the ability to admit, when wrong.Bill Ackman demonstrated that character.Mark will get it https://www.businessinsider.com/bill-ackman-says-dei-is-racist-2024-1 Here's a 4 grand worded essay,on the subject if Business accoutrement was our moral standard. But since academia and it's policies seems to not be related the subject matter at hand... I insist. I hope you admire Mr. Glenn Loury's ability to play the devil's advocate at 5:32 & 11:11 Also here at 25;25 of this one and 35:00 LOL he knows his audience. To believe that DeAnza is an exception and not the rule is raw naivete'."The fruits of our labor,I'd laugh if it weren't so tragic. 35:00 My hope is that the Coalition for Education and Do no Harm,will be the norm. Lastly on the label of "anti DEI", a suppose Tabia is now one of those, 40:00. "This is how to deal with contradictions among the people" with Critical Social Justice.
  13. "Like most religiously held beliefs, any parody must be accompanied by appropriate emoticons to so indicate, since any attempt at being more absurd is futile." thank you Winsor, Page one. sorry it was simply humorous retort. whom do you think I referred as "we". I was thinking of my daughter or Niece that found herself in a bad spot... But not you. Thank you for explaining to me "how your brain works"... Did you ever check on the innocent eleven.Perhaps it went past you. https://orderisda.org/culture/stories/the-innocent-11-and-the-creation-of-columbus-day/ I'm sorry I didn't give the moral of the story...Among Italians Americans of the era,referred to as wiggers and mafioso for generations, it was said; "The bruises of our past and not tattoos." I hope you and your likes,find her informative
  14. We can agree on something,Cool. She had a lot of Harvard Firsts.... add one more. "The Shortest," and I don't mean in stature. LOL I don't have any grand illusions, the institution will just create another hypocritical NPC.
