This Jacket Is Me posted:I'm bad at/casually interested in ethnography, and I remember reading about Slav tribes living south of Denmark during the first century, noted in correspondences amongst Roman military leaders. Is this not true, or is there some distinction between North and South Slavs that's applicable? Slavs probably originated from the Ukraine, and probably didn't start major expansion until the 4th-5th century. You're likely thinking of the Saxons.

I honestly don't buy that map. I live in Austin and the only real threats are tornadoes, and they're not especially bad around here. I'm from Houston and yeah, flooding and hurricanes are a real problem, but honestly a big quake in California seems like it could do a lot more damage. It seems like they rate tornadoes ten times worse than all other disasters, which is weird because they're really no at all.

PittTheElder posted:I got nothing against bilingualism; I wish I spoke French so that I converse with half the folks in Quebec. But I don't think there's value inherent in this or that language. The world would be an easier place if we all just spoke one language - preferably English, because I already know that one. Working hard for a goons.txt mention eh?

the jizz taxi posted:It's not racist to say that Roma are pretty far removed from mainstream society and thus have a real hard time adapting to its customs and habits, which are frequently at odds with their own lifestyle. It is racist to say that they'd be naturally more inclined to do crime or whatever. Racism is absolutely not limited to a belief in biological differences. For example the internet's much beloved "I don't hate black people I just dislike black culture" is racism.

 Interesting how this also seems to track family history. From Houston, but mother's side of the family is from Louisiana (mostly Baton Rouge and New Orleans) and father's side is from southern Arkansas. I've never lived in Louisiana, only Houston, San Antonio and Austin. a bad enough dude fucked around with this message at 15:08 on Dec 24, 2013 |

Literally all I know about Colorado Springs is that it is super Republican and it has the air force base, and I've spent a total of a two months there.
