The difference is that in the US, these types of people are more likely to shoot the object of their hatred. If this sort of thing makes anyone "feel better", take a moment to consider that if you need hosed up poo poo to offset how hosed up and lovely you feel about other hosed up poo poo, well, that's hosed up.

Modern methods are only slightly less involved, but demonstrate the same brutality and still bring me shame as a human being. That is the prosecutor there, holding the chains used to drag James Byrd.

Imagine you're an extraterrestrial civilization passing through the solar system - you note the one planet covered in complicated organic matter. If you were interested in seeing other space travelers where would you leave something to find? The secret of good science fiction is a certain level of plausibility.

I thought I'd heard all the various confederate apologist arguments but I'd dearly love to know how the rebellion was 'the first war against terrorism'. The terrorism of non-slavery? Or what?

Or what? Probably intended for the slavery apologist "Bleeding Kansas was abolitionist aggression against innocent slave owners" types. And, IIRC, the first "war against terrorism" would probably be better defined as the French suppression of the Hugeonots in the 1500s, as the Hugeonots carried out a number of assassinations and as a result Catholic Frenchmen responded by slaughtering large numbers of people, and France spent the latter half of the century in civil war. Alternatively in the 1800s we have the British reaction to the French revolution and the Terror, unrest in Ireland, or the opposition to the Carbonari nationalists in Italy.

wayfinder posted:15 km in an hour, that's about twice as fast as the current men's 100m freestyle world record... for a full hour On the other hand, olympic swimming pools rarely have currents to help the competitors along. The Yangtze is fairly fast. You could probably dog-paddle for an hour and go almost 15 km.
