Number of Presidential visits? Dubious with Russia being the highest by far...

Arcade Fire - We Used to Wait

If you're into Chinese History, I cannot recommend the National Palace Museum enough in Taiwan. It's just outside of Taipei. Basically, the Nationalists swiped all the good artefacts when they lost the Civil War and fled to Taiwan. And a good thing too, they probably would've been smashed up in...

Here's a couple of Romans I can think of... Gaius Caligula May pillage/attack coastal tiles Lucius Cornelius Sulla Felix Proscription: +150::c5gold: to kill each :c5greatperson: Great Person

Why Gunnedah?

Sun Tzu?

No, you didn't! BTW any news on CivRev coming to Android?

For historical novels, I really enjoyed Colleen McCullough's Masters of Rome series, which is well researched, written and includes a few saucy gypsies temptresses for good measure. I'm sure I can here some of you groaning, but whatever. The first book is called The First Man in Rome, and starts...

RedRalph, make it stop... Going back awhile... A lot of manual labour - construction and such - is done by Filipinos, Pakistanis and other South-East Asians I'd say it's less to do with English teachers and more to do with American money/aid, soldiers (even if they're hated, their physical...

I like 'cold as a witch's "teat"' as well

I'm as confused as baby in a strip-club. That's just a really awkward line... ...with no rhyme.

I thought I made it clear. Did I mention grindcore? Not my bag, baby.

The Clash - I'm Not Down :goodjob: :goodjob: :goodjob: :goodjob:

Hey, I agree with you on this part! I just wish that this would be finished with and the country (my country your countries) could move on other things: more hospitals, doctors and teachers. I find it quite strange that Americans pride themselves on being a land of liberty. But complain if...

I don't see annexations and border disputes ceasing. But wars of expansion/conquest are pretty much a thing of the past (I would hope). The only country they have actually worked for (in the long run) in recent history is Israel. Puerto Rico is part of the USA, as territory, not a state.

No. Yes.

I like hip-hop, but gangsta rap has always left me cold. I understand where it came from, but what it is now is just lame. Trying to to sound tough, rather than just reporting your surroundings or whatever. There's plenty of great hip-hop out there, but it doesn't have to be about guns, drugs...
