Before we got there it had been colonised many times and in fact, pretty much throughout its history it had colonised, as in taken over each other's tribes and princedoms or been colonised..This is important to know.. for accuracy... and I am a stickler for accuracy... I am forever seeing people go on about the Brits and how evil they were in colonial times.. they WERE!! I'd never say anything different - it was hideous, arrogant and vile! But there are important things to remember... 1) At that time most ordinary Brits were little more than slaves themselves.. they had NO power, no say, no control over what happened.. they made good soldiers/sailors but the orders came from high above NOT ordinary Brits.. most of us were poor and lived lives just as controlled by aristocracy as those that were colonised. 2) In almost ALL cases it wasn't just a matter of going in beating up a ton of people and then ruling..... less

Physics knew everything about space, time and matter with just "a few loose ends" to tie up (hello, Albert!)...and then suddenly, the most deadly century in the history of humankind. I read 17 million killed WWI, 28 million WWII, and still no end even now 2017.What happened, why did the assassination 1914 of the Archduke tsunami into WWI? less

Double standards or did he genuinely forget that he's doing the same?

He just said, oh yea they probably did.. hmm double standards or what? I seem to recall too that Trumpet said Hilary deserved whatever she got cos she shouldn't have been so stupid as to allow herself to be hacked... so how come when the shoe's on the other foot he isn't blaming himself for letting someone hack his phone calls?

I am passionate about education especially education of those who have specific learning difficulties like ADHD, Dyspraxia, Dyselexia etc. I have other passions of course :PAnd you?

If you eat animals, do you ever think about the lives they led before they were slaughtered and packaged for your consumption?

They recognized me , but I didn't recognize because they were grown up. Have you ever had that happen?

That it was more difficult to reflect a person's character when the face is smooth...So here is Britain's beautiful Queen Elizabeth II; she is 90 years old. Her warm strength of character is admired worldwide. Would she be even more attractive if she had more wrinkles?

I have one in my meditation room, it is about one inch across!At first I was concerned they might not be wherever you-all are, but this photo is from New Zealand and it looks just like the ones here in Washington State. Hint: It is not from a beehive. So, who is the architect here?

Umm, I mean I'm Wall-EInnocent and naive, you are the adorable cleaner-upper Wall-E! An extremely empathetic individual with a tendency to be a bit clueless, your emotional strengths can also be your weaknesses. Few others life life with the same wide eyed sense of wonder that you do, and your heart seems to beat to the never-ending rhythm of a romantic drum. You surround yourself with loved ones, and don't know what you'd do without them! Just try to avoid your weakness for shiny things!Hey! Why are you looking at me like that? How could you not know? less

Anyway, if you've seen it, I'm interested to hear your thoughts :)

This young man is the only person to tend to his elderly and ill mother. The dilemma, should this man remain with his mother and take care of her or join the resistance and fight the Nazis?
