I'd just finished reading God Is Not Great when he died.

An if this be at all, a most strange story.
Thy dukedom I resign and do entreat
Thou pardon me my wrongs. But how should Prospero
Be living and be here?

Yes, I agree: 96% of participating African-Americans.

I'm pretty sure at least some of them would be unable to vote, for instance because of age. And all voting really means is that you've picked a guy you can tolerate more than the other.

Now meeting him would be interesting. And the two greatest commanders of the late Roman Empire in the West - Aetius and Stilicho - as well.

Hello, new here as well. I too looked for a new political forum (after leaving another), and although this wasn't my first choice it is far easier to join and much more varied than the others.

Perhaps we should all unite around a common foe to heal these old wounds...

...so who else hates those damn Tuvaluvians? Always mooching around, swamping other people's markets with their inferior...

I just want to add that you're still trapped into the mindset of considering black people to have no opinions or high motives of their own. Think about it.

No, 93% of just over half of black people voted for him. And that's discounting all the things they would have no knowledge about, such as Obama's various failures (I'll leave you all to identify...

What sources suggest so?

Perhaps he was, but he was still capable of committing crimes judged horrific by Medieval Europe (whilst doing his damnedest to personally father the future population of...

Now that I have the required 5 posts needed to post links, allow me to share the pic I alluded to in the original post:

I have no idea how the political divide here works, but those are eyebrow-raising quotes in Mr. ZappasGuitar's sig.

Thanks for the welcomes.

There's too many, but I'd have to say Alfred the Great as the single most admirable for me. Not only was he a great military leader - carving out a failed Wessex after it had more or less vanished,...

Thanks. And yes, it's that can-do attitude that has made we pelicans what we are today: mostly in the 'least concern' category.

Snowdon should feel ashamed of himself - opening a debate that everyone now welcomes. :palm:

Hello all,

Glad to join the forum, and looking forward to debates and discussions.

I was going to post an amusing picture to help cement my place in your hearts, but apparently this is not...
