    1421 The Year The Chinees Discovered Americia

    The 52 degree South Parell was described by Amerigo Vespucci. Which is most likely where Magellen got the information. Though the two may have never personally meet it wouldn't be far to think this is where the information may have come from. EDIT IMO Discussing Zeng He's trips is on topic...

    1421 The Year The Chinees Discovered Americia

    First we would be rewriting the history books to include Zeng He. Much like we had to rewrite the history books to include the Vikings. So that is a point that we have to include and consider. Historians want physical proof to rewrite the books. As to discussing the evidence. The most...

    1421 The Year The Chinees Discovered Americia

    Again you need real physical proof to consider rewritting the history books. The Vikings expolration into the North America was considered a myth. Until the villages were found with Viking artifacts. This proved they hypothsis. Now if you are talking Magellen. One could argue possibility...

    1421 The Year The Chinees Discovered Americia

    He may have some supporters. But no (current) physical evidence for the "theory" of the sailings. Which is what historians require to consider rewritting the text books.

    1421 The Year The Chinees Discovered Americia

    Gavin Menzine's theory with regards to Zeng He has been debunked several times. I belive the history channel debunked it once. Even the Chinese historians do not lend him any credence.

    To those who post negative information about Obama...

    You could just go like this. Then say the same thing you did and it would be true. That I would agree with. Though I would simply add anyone but Hillary. Just for the record though I did vote for Bill in 92 and 96. Even Gore in 2000. Though Kerry was one of the three Dem Canidates in...

    Detention Camps In United States

    Seems to me the article is a little off on its time line. The contracts were initiated in 1999 under President Clinton. Where Homeland Security was founded in 2001 under President Bush. So President Clinton founded and initiated the contracts. Seems the list also includes anti-abortion...

    America - the warmonger?

    To me yes it is. Me and my wife own a company. Mainly she runs it for the most part since I have another job. We pay quarterly to the US Treasury. So I see no difference in the tax dollars. To me taxes are taxes. Speaking in broad terms in recent history (post WWII/cold war era) perhaps...

    America - the warmonger?

    Yes I am aware of the way in which he makes the case. Like I said before to make his case he states that everything else must be taken out from the budget to come up with his conclusion of 68 percent. This is similar to if you run your household and to find out what percent of your money you...

    America - the warmonger?

    Simple. The FBI isn't part of the DOD. VA could be considered as a continous cost of the DOD. CIA, NSA, Homeland Security are intelligence agencies and do not report to the DOD. DOE while it does technically own the stockpile of nuceular weapons and deals with disposal. They also deal with...

    America - the warmonger?

    Well lets see there are 50+\- Countries in which the US has active military installations. With 156 countries in the world with active duty military personel. These active duty military personel are the Marines guarding the embassies. So in reality there are 50 countries with US military...

    America - the warmonger?

    My point was to provide context to the US's USE of military force for those actions. If I were to make a statement that the citizens of Norway are no more than a people of welfare. Is that an accurate depection of the citizens of Norway? No. The realities of using broad brush strokes without a...

    America - the warmonger?

    US didn’t declare its independence until 1776. So don’t know why they even posted this one. This was a direct defensive invasion due to Barbary Coast. Which the US had been paying tribute to for several years. In 1801 when Jefferson decided not to pay the tribute the Barbary Coast declared...

    Some US Muslims Say Suicide Attacks OK

    No we do not by law in the Census ask religion. So there is no way of knowing if someone is a protestant, jew, catholic, hindiu, sikh, or muslim. By Census data. If, the US forces actually had free fire orders. The Civilian population would be desimated. Difference between profesional...
