Do you remember this?

Post by liberty »

Do you remember the day that the communist hordes swarmed in to Saigon and Vietnamese democracy died in the cradle. That evening on the evening news a female anchor, she might have been a substitute, gleefully reported that Saigon had been liberated. Do you remember who she was? Was she Barbara Walters? If you don’t want to post here you can send me a PM. I will always consider maintaining a confidence as a matter honor.

Austria is not a democracy?

I the saw the error and I corrected it, check the edit line.

And what do you mean Austria is not a democracy. True probably not on the same level as my country, but then few are.

Hey Sean,

There are only 10 kinds of people in the world. Those who understand binary and those who don't. 1010=
subscript 2

You acknowledge your error but don't get the reference to Austria? Maybe it's time for a geography lesson... ;)

It is entirely within the realm of possibility that a news anchor might have said, "the North Vietnamese are calling today Liberation Day," or something to that effect.

Your version is not in the least bit credible.

Vietnamese democracy was suppressed by the French and then by us.

Im thinking he might have meant to type: 10 (from your post) = 10 subs2

when writing an ambiguous number, it is required the base be used as a subscript or else 666 has 3 meanings in my lifetime, none of them religious.

I figured that too but more correctly it would be written 10(subs)bin. Yours however is acceptable.
I'm in the first group. ;)

I just find is slightly amusing when somebody falls flat on their arse trying to be a smartarse. :lol:

Sean, I kind of like you and I am not trying to be a smart ass. I just like to Reminisce; for years little facts like a knowledge of numbering systems were one of the keys to promotion under the WAPS system. Which was interesting because i used very little of it in my job. All I really needed most of the time was a knowledge of basic electronic, tech data and an oscilloscope.

I have forgotten so much; most of that stuff is fading into the mist.

Here is another: 111 + 111= ?
sub2

I hope that works I can’t do it right on my computer.

Black =1 brown=2 red=3 orange=4 yellow=5 green=6 blue=7 violet=8 green=9 white=10 gold band is five percent tolerance. Sliver band is ten percent tolerance and no band is twenty percent tolerance

How did I do?

Sorry but that is what I remember and heard others comment on it. I believed that she got excited and outed herself and I don’t believe she was alone. I believe that there were hundreds if not thousands of other closet communist in the news business and possibly millions in the country. I also don‘t believe they have not gone away. Their number may have diminished some but they are still around, Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn to mention just two .

So you believe there is a NAZI force in the country but a Communist power. You don't believe there are those in this country that are dedicated to the goal of the "dictatorship of the proletariat", which of course is the truest form of democracy, right?

Sue, this is the way a freedom loving people must deal with communist. You have to do them before they do to you, more decent human beings can be dealt with humanly.

I can’t find fault with General Pinochet; it was a matter of deferred self defense he either killed them while he had the chance or they would kill him and his family.

The bitter memories linger on. President Gerald R. Ford remembers sitting alone in the Oval Office, watching the TV film of the helicopters pulling off the embassy roof. "It was one of the saddest days in my life," he recalled in a recent interview with NEWSWEEK. "To see the United States literally kicked out, beaten by the North Vietnamese. It was a tragedy in my own mind." Ford insisted that he was "proud" that some 50,000 South Vietnamese and 6,000 Americans were rescued, at the cost of only four U.S. soldiers. But the uncomfortable fact remains that tens of thousands of South Vietnamese, allies of the United States for many years, were left behind to be shot, imprisoned or sent to "re-education" camps.
