south

ie either by military victory or a "tie" via attrition.... Three schools of thought that I can think of: - Sooner or later in the near-term after that we would have gone back to war and sooner or later the North would win due to superior resources. So timeframes would change somewhat but...

I want to start a South African skeptical community. Or at least somewhere where we can join resources on all things skeptical in South Africa. I'm not aware of something like that yet, so if there is, please point me in the right direction so that I can help out. If not, please go to...

I have been informed the Carolina Skeptics group is no longer active. I have been in contact with Prof. Eric Carlson at WFU, the former coordinator of the defunct group. He is more than willing to help others take over the reins of the group if we can only get enough interested people...

In another thread a discussion began about american history and the civil war. Rather than pollute someone else's thread, I thought I would move the discussion here. Many years ago I was visiting a friend in New York for christmas. I left right after school let out and arrived about 10 days...

So I've been laughing at people worried about an Alito confirmation possibly damaging the Roe v. Wade decision. "Overturn federally mandated abortion rights? Ha Ha! Never happen. That's just to distract you from the real issues." But then the South Dakota legislature goes and makes the...

It seems to me that, as usual, they are doing nothing.

The Bolivians elect a leftist. Big deal. Why is it these leftists embrace Castro though? To me it automatically undermines the whole "he may be a leftist but he's democratically elected blah blah blah" thing. All of the sudden this guy isn't a simple politician anymore. So why do these south...

http://www.dazereader.com/24000925.htm Sounds kinda funny. The usual suspects are up in arms.

History records that the North won the civil war in America, but is this really the case? The South had the advantage of better weapons, while the North had the advantage of larger land mass; in turn the South would not have the man power to cover that much terroritory and their supplies would...

I searched for another thread about this but didn't have any luck finding one so I decided to start my own. I've known about these "pre-Clovis" sites for sometime now but I never took much genuine interest into them until recently. From now until Saturday, the archaeologists who discovered the...

Here's an article by Mr. Graham Hancock, which indicates that long in the past there were bearded white people, as well as black people in South America a long long ways back in the past. Tiahuanaco http://www.grahamhancock.com/features/maat_methods-p2.htm...

I just can't seem to get bored with it. :hit:

Sticking with an odd theme in today's news, a Christian group hopes to take over South Carolina. Seattle Times

Sure, it’s in World Net Daily, and it’s not near likely to happen, but take a look: http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=38571 Part of me (the part that is not in South Carolina) would be interested to see how this would play out. What would the constitution of a Christian...

South Korea scientists clone human embryos I put this in Politics and Current Events instead of Science for what I think will become obvious reasons over the next few days.

I got this email from my brother in Johannesburg a couple of days ago. I don't really know why I'm sharing it with you guys, but, here goes. I don't particularly want this thread to turn into a pro, or anti gun thread, nor do I want to slag-off South Africa, but.... man it's f*cked up down there.

If you are even aware of their existence, it would seem that nothing good ever happens in either state. Dru Sjodin who worked at the same mall I did when I went to UND is almost certainly dead. Bill Janklow probably on his way to jail for driving like an idiot.

From MSNBC: South Korea to send troops to Iraq Now this makes me laugh. South Korea is sending troops to Iraq! What is so funny about that? Well, they can't defend themselves - haven't been able to for over 50 years. In one of the longest running cases of international welfare, the US has...

Randi mentioned the stark differences between North and South Korea in this week's commentary. I just recently came across a picture that symbolizes this difference more dramatically and objectively than any mere words can. I'll just post a link because it's a huge picture...
