Regarding the January 2020 Drone Strike and Embassy Riot

Regarding the recent drone killings of Iranian military leaders and other personnel by the US military, preceded by an attack on the US embassy by Shiite militia forces, preceded by airstrikes by the US military, preceded by rocket strikes by Shiite militia forces, preceded by who knows what...I gotta say, why can't we all just stop this idiocy? As a famous drug addict who was arrested for DWIs, hitting his wife, and a hit-and-run, was beaten by cops who were found not guilty, thus sparking riots, once pleaded, "can we all just get along?"
I'll tell you one thing. Although there is not going to be a draft anytime soon, and I'm old enough not be be forced to fight a war anyway, there is no way I'd ever set foot in Iran or any other country due to this hissy fit between different groups. There are very few things in this world that I'd ever risk my life over, and this does not come anywhere close to any of them whatsoever.

In Defense of...Cecil Rhodes?!

You all know Cecil Rhodes, right?  He was a British Imperialist (living from 1853-1902) who founded the De Beers diamond mining and trading company.  Just this morning, I came upon a post comparing him to Adolf Hitler, and claiming that Cecil Rhodes killed at least 60 million Africans.  It has been shared 99 times.  Here is the post: https://plus.google.com/+TonyJefferson/posts/CZ6HW3AxDo6 Unlike many, I decided to do some research on it.  That is my nature.  I don't accept things without evidence given, and even when no evidence is provided, I search for evidence.  If after looking, no evidence is forthcoming, then I discount the claim unless compelling evidence does surface.  After my research on this topic (taking up about an hour of my day and 28 open tabs on my browser...but still an enjoyable time because this is what I like to do), I found that my initial skepticism was well justified and that this comparison is incorrect.  Adolph H...

The Dark Side of the Women's March

The recent Women's March, which took place in Washington and numerous other cities one day after the inauguration of President Trump, may go down as the largest protest in American history. Millions showed up to these events to advocate for women's issues and to protest against Donald Trump. While very few would find fault in a women's march in and of itself, upon inspecting this women's march further, some disturbing information comes to light. The Women's March was thankfully quite peaceful, unlike Inauguration Day when the group Antifa (the "anti-fascists"), although stymied by the police, were ironically able to carry out their own mini "Kristallnacht" (or rather, "Kristalltag"), smashing windows and setting fires in broad daylight. The Women's March appears to have been non-violent and there were apparently no arrests. However, problems start to manifest themselves when we look at the people who set up and spoke at th...
Please don't back my brain up. To all of those sci-fi lovers who wish we could back ourselves up so that some semblance of our consciousness could continue to live, this is a must-watch.  It might just change your perspective. Also, one thing to remember is that you can copy files and copies of those.  Each copy is not an original, but a copy, just like a clone of you would be a twin, not you. Finally, I think this shows what a Christian or Islamic heaven would be like.  After all, people act "perfectly" up there and have no sinful urges (like wearing mixed fabrics and such).
