9/11 was a plot to get the US public to support the "War on Terror". They've been planning this shit before Bush got elected.

[Anonymous No.]

I think you confused "American" with "Rural right-wing American", OP.

The British paid us reparations and gave full trade rights after 1812, so even though the whole Canada thing was a bust, we came out ahead.
And it's debatable whether the Soviet Union could have soaked up the additional loss of life from having to fight all of the Nazis instead of half of them. No doubt they could have done it by the numbers, but it would have been even longer and bloodier and a counterrevolution on the order of the Communist Revolution would be very likely.

9/11 isn't worth crying over unless someone you know was personally victimized by it. Over 150.000 people die per day, and less than 3.000 died in the 9/11 attacks. It was not an 'unexpected and unprecedented attack on the US', there's tons of proof that the government could've stopped it if they wanted. It was not a declaration of war from any country the US wants to invade next. It is not the greatest tragedy in the history of the US. Terrorists are not everywhere, out to kill you.

The entire thing is just overdramatized so the government can pull all kinds of bullshit because the people live in fear of THE TERRORISTS.

The thing that always bugs me about the geography shit is that America is bordered by two countries (one of which is hell on earth) while in Europe you can't walk outside without crossing at least two national borders. Asking an American where Portugal is on a map is like asking a European where Oklahoma is. Does it matter? Am I ever going to visit Portugal? Even if I do, am I going to fly myself to Portugal? Am I a sailor who going to sail to Portugal to trade buffalo hides for spices and dye? The answer to all of these is no, so why do I need to locate it on the map?

To be honest, even if it is basic knowledge, I do agree with him. As long as he can tell Portugal is in Europe, why would he need to know where exactly it is in Europe? It's a problem if you think Poland is an African country (it being in Europe is necessary background information to understand news coming from Poland), but I never saw the point of learning the locations of everything on the map. I know where Portugal is because I'm European, but I've also been taught what the capital city is of every notable European country, and I've never felt it important to know any of those except for London. I don't really care where all the African countries are either - as long as I know they're in Africa, that's fine with me.
It may be basic knowledge, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's useful knowledge. Especially in this day and age where you can look everything up when you need to know, I don't really see the point of learning where everything is on the map.

[Ruby !!iPJbBu5S79g No.]

If you want to know anything about the history of our side of the globe, and how the hell the Americas came to be colonized, you need to know shit about Europe. Portugal, in spite of its size, was pretty big at taking control of the "uncivilized" nations, which is why Brazil speaks portuguese today instead of some native language.

Knowing where everything is kinda makes it a hell of a lot easier to understand that history. Fore reference, Portugal lies on the Western coast of Spain, which is in the Southwesternmost corner of Europe, where the Mediterranean meets the Atlantic. If you don't know where those are, I suggest you go find the nearest portal to Gensokyo and jump into it.

For most conspiracy theories (exceptions being mainly the ones in the 'proven true' category), not nearly as much as the 9/11 advance knowledge debate. The pages all list most of the supposed conspiracies and the evidence given to back them up, but generally that evidence isn't much and often evidence to the contrary is also given. Wikipedia requires a source for everything, but there's a difference between a source explaining something and a source that is actual evidence.

Black African Immigrant with United States Citizenship here so I'm not sure if this bingo is right for me.

Americans eat shit, not trying to insult you guys I'm just stating the fact. The "food" companies here pack so much bad things into your food that it is criminal. Your natural food tastes like shit because your farming system is full of chemicals. You can actually, literally taste the difference between live, non mass produced American chicken and free ranged chicken.

But I'm proud to live in this country because of free speech. Seriously if this was back in my country if word got out that I was bad mouthing the government I'd "disappear". Back in 98 one of my uncles "disappeared" for some random bar talk. Just a drunken "Fuck the goeverenment" would make you "disappear".

Also owning a gun should be a fundamental right. People who don't own a gun probably believe that the government will come to save you at all times and society will always be stable. And that's just not true. If we were in a situation where social order had broken down a gun (an electric generator, your own farming land etc) would be the difference between staying a live and being dead. The gun represents independence and self sufficiency and I respect anybody who's trained to use firearms in a self defense or hunting situation.

Actually water DOES NOT exactly stop dehydration. Drinking water at the right time does. And saline water might help much more (they use it in hospitals).

It is a bullshit marketing claim. Do you think advertisers only mislead you with lies ? They can also mislead you with obvious truth, different wording, or legalese...

So these bottled water companies wanted to promote the 'healing' power of bottled water (which tap water and other forms of it also have). EU sent scientists. Took the scientists 2 seconds to see through the bullshit (cool story Capt. Obvious). Bottled water companies, whose only contribution to mankind is more pollution and constantly raising the price of water for the poor in Africa, run to the press crying for justice. The press, who never lets facts get in the way of a sensationalist story, publishes it. And retards eat it RIGHT the fuck up. I never loved the press.

Actually, since this thread about guns and snobs is going to stay up indefinitely anyway, you remember the phenomenon in Japanese history (or at least the Otaku, as-depicted-in-animu version, which I imagine was inspired by real life since it's also in wikipedia...) where everybody but the Samurai were forbidden to own weapons?

You are a retard. I WOULD SUPPORT THAT. Because tens are actually fucking superior and it's easy to remember that a day has 1000 seconds than, what 60x60x24 (can you calculate it in 2 seconds ?).

But the thing that prevents that from happening is that we are DEEPLY ingrained in this system. If you revise the definition of 'second' you will have to look at velocity, acceleration, power, ... basically anything that has to do with time. That is too much work for people, it seems. But even now, we still have miliseconds, nanoseconds, and all that metric jazz.

That wasn't me (I am >>8128226), but he's right. Powers of 10 in a decimal numbering system is way superior to anything else. The reason we don't have metric time is because:
a)It was universal before people started caring about standards (so basically, the whole world would go American on this shit).
b)It is simple enough to not be bothered by it (as opposed to the seemingly random royal measurements).

>A day has 86,400 seconds, which I remember
I doubt you do, and even if you did, there's no point in it since the calculation is easy enough if you ever need it.
>hey revised the length and weight system back when they were super deeply ingrained, too.
That's bullshit. In both cases, they set a standard over a lot of other seemingly random measurements.

But not all gun owners own guns for rebelling against the government. That's a stereotype, why would use a stereotype as basis of an argument?

I don't understand this argument. metric measurements are completely arbitrary. everyone has a foot so you can always know about how long a foot is. what naturally occurring object is about a meter long?

A large step. Rule of thumb is that if you make a large step, the distance is roughly a meter.

The foot thing is bullshit, more inaccurate as rule of thumb than the above meter rule of thumb as foot sizes differ greatly.

Not originally!

"Originally intended to be one ten-millionth of the distance from the Earth's equator to the North Pole (at sea level), its definition has been periodically refined to reflect growing knowledge of metrology. Since 1983, it is defined as the length of the path travelled by light in vacuum in 1⁄299,792,458 of a second."
