    Do You Consider CFC an Addiction?

    No. It's possible to walk away, I can assure you.

    Most Important Battle in Your Nation's History

    Fort Pillow. Proved conclusively - as if there was ever any doubt - that the secesh crackers deserved nothing less than outright extermination.

    Battle of Midway

    ...which is precisely why I was so over the top in my post; to give you some ammo to work with. And to at least shake things up so the argument - like the war with Japan - won't seem so much like an inevitable Allied walkover. And, hey, btw. :goodjob: You and others have made several good...

    Battle of Midway

    Bla bla bla. Wandered here because of insomnia, and then I find this bizarre thread, full of posts of the cheerful history-in-hindsight that passes for real history these days. 1. The Japanese Army, undersupplied and underequipped, almost broke into India in 1944 against what both British and...

    Official arriving/introduction, returning, leaving thread

    Well, this experiment appears to have run its course. Not much seems to have changed here. Evolution is a slow process. Or creation. Whichever.... Mebbe I'll try next year, when Civ IV finally hits the stands, eh? ;) Salud!

    So whats a poster like you doin' in a place like this?

    Is debate the right word? Really, I'm asking seriously. I remember this place as the home of the infamous "ME" thread in which two sides sat and talked to themselves for four days straight about why Jews/Palestinians were the better killers, or the petrie dish that spawned a million folk...

    Why Have Jews Been Persecuted?

    Pellaken, good to see that your knowledge of history has remained frozen at exactly the level it was many years ago. ;) Christianity was quite successful from 1000 to 1200 AD, arguably more successful throughout its lifetime than Judaism ever was, if numbers, social acceptance, wealth and...

    Favorite Historical location

    Excellent thread, and a reminder of CFC's lost virtues; it was a thread like this that actually convinced me to post my first post many years ago. Chichen Itza, I've seen now, and I'd like to see the historic version. Number two on the list would be London circa 1600 or 1700 (but not the...

    Shhh. You're not supposed to use words like that here. Family values, etc. ;)

    Direct correlation between CFCing and maturity?

    :eek: (that was my actual reaction, but I'm apparently expected to lengthen my post to ten characters, so this does the trick. Oh, and...) :eek:

    Bush poll numbers plummeting; Kerry beats Bush 53-42

    Amateurs. It explains why he was doing so well in Oklahoma, though.
