Don’t have a desire to be the richest man in the world?

I have a desire to find a job that I like that allows me to support my hobbies, which I have.


Reparations have nothing to do with physical disabilities. We are talking able bodied men and women that are bitching that the system is unfair. There is zero excuse.

No. Nobody affected by the civil war is alive today. Any problem or disadvantage that you have today (white or black) can be directly traced back to a decision that you made. Maybe the decision was influenced by how you were raised, but nevertheless you made a conscious decision to end up where you are currently at


Wow. You are really dumb as shite, huh?

If life is as you say, why the need for private schools?

If there were to be any reparations based on the Civil War, seeing as how the South fricking lost, they should be paying, not receiving....

Southern Unionists were more worried about abuse from their Secesh neighbors than they were the US government. I've found multiple ancestors that served in the 1st Alabama Cavalry. Don't know their stories, but can only assume they were enthusiastic when Union troops showed up in North Alabama. If interested, then check out "Loyalty and Loss" by Margaret Storey. It's about Alabama Unionists during the war and after.

Good luck with this.


You are debating people who bitch and moan about how soft today's world is and "everyone gets a trophy".


Then will turn around and cry that their participation trophies are being torn down and it's unfair.

Many of them don't realize that there were big pockets of anti-confederates in Confederate states that were heavily oppressed by the Confederate government and armies.


And that most of the Confederate armies were filled with men who were conscripted to fight against their will.



The whole "fought for their homes against an invading army" propaganda they love to spout off is, quite frankly, a load of horseshite.

Why the need for private golf courses? People like nicer things. There are many public schools better than private schools.

I’d send my kids to Dutchtown or St. Amant before Ascension Catholic or Ascension Christian

History affects us all. So does an entire host of other things that we have absolutely zero control over.

Your view on "choice", requires the most basic level of thought.

Be better.

The 1st ended up being chosen by Sherman to be his headquarters escort on the March to the Sea. Fascinating unit given what they represent. Two of my ancestors are buried in the national cemetery in Nashville. Any way that I can get my reparations in bitcoin?

Everyone agrees with that “crap” to some degree.

Most just have some weird ego or pride thing that they can’t seem to let go though.

Everyone wants to be “self made”. Too much insecurity in this world.
