One of my female co-workers that grew up in Virginia said they didn't get any 20th century history in high school because it was "too controversial". In fact, native Virginians are still pretty sensitive about 19th century history, as ...

<t> On the surface, this certainly seemed like one of the most pointless wars of all time. However, once challenged, the British had little choice but to respond the way they did. The most ominous sabre-rattling was a real threat of invasion of British Honduras (now Belize) with a threat of racially ...

I haven't been in the thread for a bit and today I find it's full of twats and spotted dicks. Is this a Mid-Summer's Night Phenomenon???!!!

I called my 93-year old Dad last Sundey to wish him a happy Father's Day, but he informed me it wasn't until next Sunday. It must be heartbreaking for parents to see their kids go senile.

My problem is curiosity. I never green button anyone because I want to see what happens next.

Not only could he pull his own head off but he'd beat you to death with it, leave it as a calling card and spontaneously grow a new one in time for the photo op to celebrate yet another successful mission.<br ...

That just might be an old "friend" of yours Steve. Don't get worked over trollers. We want you on the forum.

Now here is a really important issue with deep philosophical undertones.
I'm sure Chuck Norris could pull my head off, but can he pull his own head off?

<t> I also would praise Shelby Foote's narrative. Very, very well done. By the way, I am descended from an Illinois soldier in Sherman's army so the old time Virginians tell me I am descended from a war criminal. He was wounded at Kennesaw mountain and sent home, so he never got to Atlanta, let ...
