right conclusion, wrong reason. the date was set due to the tradition at the time of taking the date of death and subtracting 9 months to attribute the birthday. dan mcclean has a cool video on it on tik tok.

My buddy and I used to debate about whether Alexander the Great or Genghis Khan had the largest land empire. Of course itâs Genghis, but my friend was stubborn and wouldnât admit itâ:grin:. Alexander had the largest empire captured on FOOT. Genghis had the horses, and a bigger empire. Peter Khent ( going off a 30 year memoryâŚit was a library book) wrote a great book about the Mongols. I got a tattoo of one of the booksâ photos of a Mongolian archer, made in China in the 1400âs. Great read. 
I HIGHLY recommend a local book about the French and Indian War called Bloody Mohawk. I read that book so much it fell apart on me. Twice. Iâm on my 3rd copy.
Jawbreaker is a great book about the early days of the war in Afghanistan. It might be out of print due to sensitive informationâŚ
Did you look yet? Iâm curiousâŚ

So much history is literally buried. We are living at a crazy time in history. So much that has been lost is now being found. Maybe someday humanity will have a better understanding of our history. Most things we learned in school were âtrueâ for a few years lol. New info is changing history quickly now.

Some evidence suggests old Norse pagan religious practices included sacrificing and eating horse meat. This led to the ban of it by Pope Gregory III in 732. If this was not the case, we may still eat horse today as it is widely eaten elsewhere.

Not trying to get into political shit though it matters
A ton.
Kids, folks in general are just ignorant .
The USA, here they love the term
Private/Government parnterships etc
Most Americans are to ignorant to know thatâs
Exactly what Fascism is.
The definitions have been flipped on purpose
Imo.
Whatâs the difference between Fascism
National Socialism (Canada)
SOCIALISM
Communism?
Well Tik covers it.
Europe lived this shit and Poof
Right back Into it.
Imo it never went away, just morphed.
Tik is having to combat the deliberate rewrite
Of history coming from all agendas.
So whatâs the difference between Mussoili
Hitler, Stalin, Chairman M, Justin T
And Brandon?
Watch this.

Sulla spalletta del ponte
Le teste degli impiccati
Nellâacqua della fonte
La bava degli impiccati.
Sul lastrico del mercato
Le unghie dei fucilati
Sullâerba secca del prato
I denti dei fucilati.
Mordere lâaria mordere i sassi
La nostra carne non è piĂš dâuomini
Mordere lâaria mordere i sassi
Il nostro cuore non è piĂš dâuomini.
Ma noi sâè letto negli occhi dei morti
E sulla terra faremo libertĂ
Ma lâhanno stretta i pugni dei morti
La giustizia che si farĂ .

Socialism = bad word but only to Americans.

Do you know why?
A fundamental misunderstanding of what it is.

Or maybe, just maybe, a fundamental disagreement about whether itâs good or bad? Are you really going to try to make this another thread about how anyone who doesnât agree with a certain partyâs policies is necessarily stupid or evil, rather than just having differing opinions on the best way to handle problems that canât be solved?

Excellent answer. Perhaps, only a part of why we hate the idea, or word. Personally, I understand socialism.

Iâll just quote the free market hero Adam smith and leave it at that:
Enlightened self-interest refers to the concept that regard for oneâs own good prompts a person to assist in promoting the good of others.

You could have just said yes rather than treating me like Iâm stupid or evil for bringing up the idea that people might disagree. 
Keep going, we can get the whole thread shut down!
I believe the quote sums it up better than I could.
Your salty nature notwithstanding.

Adam Smith is not the be-all and end-all of free market philosophy, any more than Stalin or Hitler is the be-all and end-all of socialism. Quit it with the strawman arguments. I get it, youâre annoyed that someone is daring to disagree with you. Too bad. Get used to it, thatâs reality.

You were talking to all Americans, because you were making a sarcastic generalization about us. What the hell were you expecting other than conflict?
