Should Jackson lose his place of honor?

This is one of the big differences between Liberals and everybody else...(and one of the reasons I could never be one)

They're the only people in this country who wake up in the morning asking themselves the question, "Gee, how can we be more like Europe?"....

[rubato]

Since you have never been to Europe you opinion is rather shit isn't it?


An objective person would look to find examples of greater success than their own and emulate them, not make ignorant red-neck excuses for being stupid.

[Lord Jim]

not make ignorant red-neck excuses for being stupid.

Thanks rube, I would much prefer to use acceptable excuses for being stupid. Could you tell me yours?

[wesw]

hey! I thought that I was the red neck around here....

[Joe Guy]

You may be a redneck if you think redneck is two words...

[Gob]

[wesw]

my pick up truck is older than my better half, so I might be a redneck....

Of course, that's neither what I said or implied.

Are you so insecure that you cannot admit that there are things to be learned from others, or that just because it's American means it cannot be improved upon?

There are many things the French (and other European nations) do well. It's never wrong to observe, study, experience, and learn from them.

We in the West have advanced greatly over the centuries because like all the peoples of the Eurasian continent we have had the opportunity to learn from others. We took the ideas of other nations and improved on them. Gunpowder and block printing and we got from the Chinese, but from that our ancestors invented the printing press and firearms. So if the europeans create something useful we should STEAL it, use the hell out of it and then deny them any credit. After all they are europeans surrender monkeys. Of course this does not apply to the UK and New Europe; there are good people for the most part.

Y'all ARE Europeans... except for those who ain't.

Oh general, don’t do insults; how can you say such things? How do you know that our ancestors did not come from Britain by way of Atlantis and originally the Eurasian steppes. We made a swing around old Europe in an effort to avoid the smell. It is a myth we should start for our own psychological self protection. It is better than admitting that we are related to THOSE People.

Now back to serious discussion and the controversy of honoring these American women. Evidently there is a compromise that no one here can see but me. Or maybe you guys are not into compromise. At any rate here is my compromise: keep the front of the notes as they are, but use the backs to honor these women with a portrait and a short history of their lives and achievements. What would be wrong with that? It would be a way of presenting history to the American people whether they read it or not. I am in favor of honoring these women in this way as long as in the future it is not restricted to individuals consider to be liberals. When people do things worth remembering they should be recognized. I would like to honor the anonymous pioneer woman who crossed the plains with her shotgun in her lap.

[wesw]

I think that your idea might go over better if you moved the men to the back of the note and put the women on the front. it s the little things that matter....
