We moved from France to Kentucky, I was 5 years old (my old man was stationed at Fort Campbell) when officer housing opened up for us. The water supply was "well water" and as a kid...I distinctly remember my mom consistently complaining about the "odor" and "taste" of the water. Just as bad...

Nuts = Mental Illness wrbtrader

The elephant in the room is a "felony conviction of Trump". Most Americans would not vote for Trump if he had a felony conviction. In contrast, another poll showed many Americans would continue to support him even if he became a convicted felon but he would be weakened to the point that he...

I can not remember the link or my message post... The DOJ discovered in their court document analysis that many of the arrested insurrectionists, a large percentage of them had a prior history of mental illness and/or treatment for mental illness. It should send chills to anyone watching that...

Has any of you resided or visited the Middle East...more than a month ??? Residents are forced (coerced) into supporting the regime. wrbtrader

GOP is dysfunctional and their split is starting to result in retaliation against each other. I think Gaetz head is on the chopping block because the GOP is starting to think they can not win in 2024 Presidential elections with people like Gaetz creating so many problems. McCarthy sent...

It would make sense or be easier for them to just find/promote a stronger Democrat candidate, especially after the New Hampshire collapse. The Dems put 21 names on the Ballot but not Biden's name. Biden still won without his name on the ballot...it was a write-in victory. :p...

Solution: Israel is fully capable of the same military strikes against Houthi. Therefore, let Israel deal with Houthi. Further, those ships (U.S. owned)...order them out of the area. Later, when Houthi begins terrorizing U.S. civilians in the area, kidnapping U.S. civilians to provoke...

Blame it all on Nixon after the Korean and Vietnam wars that resulted in the War Powers Act. Unfortunately, people today still can not define what is WAR. :D 1) Houtis feel they are at WAR. That feeling will go away when they stop with the bullshit. 2) The United States has not declared WAR...

You'll be surprised at how many people have tried desperately to change that fact, especially since the 1960s when Americans began changing what WAR was and to do that...they needed to go back in history to begin changing the definition of WAR in WWII. Surprisingly, that shit is still happening...

Regardless, I still prefer your original definition involving Pearl Harbor and War versus your attempt to change a historical factual reference as shown below to fit a dictionary definition that doesn't even use the words "after" or "during"... Do you need to find a new dictionary or maybe...

I hope you're not suggesting you've changed your answer that I quoted from you about a historical factual reference just to fit a dictionary definition. Tony, you can not change history...it happened the way you originally described. :D ...after Pearl Harbor everyone considered the U.S. to...

You had it right your first time but then you argued and tried to change what you originally stated. ...after Pearl Harbor everyone considered the U.S. to be at war with Japan (your words). Class dismissed. wrbtrader

Go back to your Pearl Harbor example...you'll get it. :sneaky: Don't worry... it's not an exam. wrbtrader

During the attack on Pearl Harbor...they were soldiers and trained to "battle". Thus, the word "WAR" was not used by soldiers as they were being "attacked" (bombed, shot at). In contrast, the words "battle" and "attack" were being used during the attack and it then changed to WAR after the...

Within hours after Pearl Harbor...it was called an "attack" on broadcast radio and the early morning newspaper editions. Yet, many called it a "surprise attack" while Japan had declared WAR on the U.S... Hours later, the United States then declared WAR on Japan. A few days later, Germany...

I think hindsight plays a big role in how WAR is defined... For example, if a bombing or attack occurs right now at this moment from a country you never had an issue with...a good chance you will not call it a WAR unless that country "declares" it a WAR. In contrast, if you view something that...

American Civil War Look up that definition of "Civil War" and you may be surprised by how many then do not list the United States as ever having a civil war (people trying to rewrite history) ? :D Simply, don't be an idiot and play with definitions of WAR...only politicians and armchair...

What is conflict & war? A conflict is a fight between armed troops. War is the hostility towards other parties issued officially by governments/states. Conflicts are part of war, though not every war sees actual conflict, nor is every conflict connected to war... Confusing ??? :D To...

Yet, we do have an age discrimination law... The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA) protects certain applicants and employees 40 years of age and older from discrimination based on age in hiring, promotion, discharge, compensation, or terms, conditions, or privileges of...
