Doug Hanlon replied to the topic FIRE is on Fire in Anti-Abortion South Carolina! in the forum Small Talk 3 years, 10 months ago
I think Autumn has hit the nail on the head. In THIS instance, the anti-abortionists are not, technically, violating the principle of free speech. From their point of view, prohibiting the provision of information about how to have an abortion would be like prohibiting posting where Salman Rushdie is hiding, or providing information on how to m…[Read more]

History 3 years, 10 months agoI’m looking for advice here.
I would like to read a few books on the following subjects:
(1) American Indians, both their history and their present situation.
(2) The Austro-Hungarian Empire.I can do the usual web searches, and I have access to JSTORE, but I have found that literate people can often offer advice on titles and sources (web…[Read more]

Have you read “Hanta Yo”? It’s like “Roots” for Native Americans.

Thanks! I have not read it, nor even heard of it. I’m tolerably ignorant about the history of American Indians, even though I’m a great-great-grandson of Mosholatubee, the chief of the Choctaws, who had to sign the Treat of Dancing Rabbit Hill, which surrendered their good agricultural land in the South, and put them on the Trail of Tears…

@theencogitationer Hi … I think we share some world-view, e.g. Ukraine. I see them as victims of American arrogance/stupidity, pushed into the maw of the Bear, when they could have done what even Stalin let Finland and Austria do after WWII, i.e. be ‘neutral’ in military terms, while otherwise enjoying all the benefits of capitalism and liberal…[Read more]

Of course, the Americas were taken from the original inhabitants by force.
If we should ‘cancel’ people — like Thomas Jefferson — who were slave owners two hundred years ago, ie judge them by the standards of civilized countries in the 21st Century, then of course we should return these lands to the descendants of the people who were the…[Read more]

A male homo sapien is a MAN
If one or the other identifies as the opposite gender they are TRANS men or women.
Right?
