Ron Unz has written an article over at the Ameircan Conservative that clocks in at 35,000 words, so I can't reproduced the article even in a spoiler, here, and I know most people won't read it all, because it is so, so dense. That said, this is probably the most important article on current...

Since History tends to have it's greatest bursts of activity when someone is incredibly wrong, and we like pointing out in great detail how people are wrong, I figured we'd assemble a great repository of stupid, baffling psuedohistory...

Woot First post! So uh...how about these two new boards? Are we going to transfer over older thread topics from the old OT?

So, after establishing there is some interest in it, I'm going ahead with this thread. I know we have some other instructors on this board, and they're welcome to join in. Different perspectives are some of the most important things you can get in Martial Arts. My Experience as a Martial...

It's well known that Chinghis Khan has approximately a million, billion grandchildren running around. It's probably less well known that one in 12 Irishmen is likely the descendant of Niall of the Nine-Hostages. Anyone else know of any similar cases of impressive fecundity throughout history?

Split from the postmodernism thread. All I can say is who ever created the 40k canon has some serious issues with their gender and sexual outlook.

Please offer advice to make it less crappy before it ends up on a Federal Website.

How many times a day are you conscious of your own impending death? How many times a day do you think you should ideally think about it?

A sport better then both combined has been invented. Stop arguing.

Who was England's Greatest Prime Minister?

It has occuured to me all of a sudden that Capitalism which defends the importance of "property rights" usually forms after a lot of people have gotten their stuff taken away, and it was redistributed. To list a few examples: South Korea in 1945 almost all the land is in the hands of the...

I realize my understanding of physics is frighteningly appalling, especially as I do some science fiction writing in an online community. Can someone point to a good introduction to physics? One that's very heavy on the general picture as opposed to applicable knowledge?

I remember reading about a German program during WWII to develop a helicopter system for infantry. There would be a small Engine for it carried on their back, and rotor over their head and the idea was this would allow the German Soldiers to 'hop' great distances. I'm almost certain this was...

ITT we discuss the validity of New York City becoming the 51st state. I happen to be strongly in favor of NYC secession. Aside from New York City and Long Island, New York is a mainly Rural, conservative state. Because of the Population imbalance, 90% of the state is effectively...

Inspired by another thread. Which monarchy would you like to see reinstated in a symbolic role.

I couldn't find the old one, so I decided to start a new one. This is one I read in The Unquiet Ghost. One of the problems they had when they tried to reform the NKVD as the KGB, was the appaling level of ignorance in their officers. Most of them lacked basic schooling, nevermind...

I know its early, but since its so open still, it'll be nice to have this discussion before the pundits really weigh in on the matter. Who do you think you're favored candidate will/should nominate as their VP on the ticket, should they win the primary? Ron Paul/Pat Buchanan 08 FTW
