Good Documentary Thread, and educational videos

Stupid unless protesting your base, or home, they cost more lives in the long run than a forced attack.

It seems that the majority of human history is about people not getting along and trying to find ways to kill each other. Today, the only thing that has changed is the methods of killing have become more sophisticated.

The thing with trenches is they worked in Ancient times, but when mass fire weapons came along, and aircraft they are just death pits.
If taking a city they where fine for a camp spot, but beyond that useless

I stumbled across this guy's channel one day. This video was interesting (I'm assuming the content is accurate).

Manufacturing in the north is part of the reason slavery wasn't there, the south lacked in it unless you count textiles.

This is a good video on guns in the U.S. ... past, present .... and future.

Right to bear arms, he does not get it.
We have that right because people like him, and government that want to0 take them.

[Blue Frost]

Hard to keep up with, but I think good if you know a lot of the names.

It's clear that there is no communication between the mice, otherwise #1 would have warned his 'buddies' to stay clear ... or maybe he wanted some company?

[Blue Frost]

Company, misery needs company.
I'm glad he saved them, and didn't kill them, they don't really deserve death for being a mouse.
I have my own live trap in the garage, it has a trap door on each end. They go in, and can have a party till I take them to the school to let them out

[Blue Frost]

Something way out of the norm for learning here in the US.

This is an interesting thread. I'll check it out later when I hit the sheets.

This is Leo's "before the flood" documentary...a free version I guess, I purchased this doc. It was really good. I love environmental stuff.

The year is 1918…
January 13, 2019

The year is 1918… One hundred and one years ago.
What a difference a century makes!

Here are some statistics for the Year 1918:

The average life expectancy for men was 47 years.
Fuel for cars was sold in drug stores only.
Only 14 percent of the homes had a bathtub.
Only 8 percent of the homes had a telephone.
The maximum speed limit in most cities was 10 mph.
The tallest structure in the world was the Eiffel Tower.
The average US wage in 1918 was 22 cents per hour.
The average US worker made between $200 and $400 per year.
A competent accountant could expect to earn $2,000 per year.
A dentist earned $2,500 per year.
A veterinarian between $1,500 and 4,000 per year.
And, a mechanical engineer about $5,000 per year.
More than 95 percent of all births took place at home
Ninety percent of all Doctors had NO COLLEGE EDUCATION!
Instead, they attended so-called medical schools, many of which
were condemned in the press AND the government as “substandard.”
Sugar cost four cents a pound.
Eggs were fourteen cents a dozen.
Coffee was fifteen cents a pound.
Most women only washed their hair once a month, And, used Borax or egg yolks for shampoo.
Canada passed a law that prohibited poor people from entering into their country for any reason.
The Five leading causes of death were:
1. Pneumonia and influenza 2. Tuberculosis
3. Diarrhea 4 Heart disease 5. Stroke
The American flag had 45 stars …
The population of Las Vegas, Nevada was only 30.
Crossword puzzles, canned beer, and iced tea hadn’t been invented yet.
There was neither a Mother’s Day nor a Father’s Day.
Two out of every 10 adults couldn’t read or write
And, only 6 percent of all Americans had graduated from high school.
Marijuana, heroin, and morphine were all available over the counter at local corner drugstores.
Back then pharmacists said, “Heroin clears the complexion, gives buoyancy to the mind, regulates the stomach, bowels, and is, in fact, a perfect guardian of health!” (Shocking?)
Eighteen percent of households had at least one full-time servant or domestic help..
There were about 230 reported murders in the ENTIRE U.S.A.!

This message will be sent all over the WORLD all in a matter of seconds!

It is impossible to imagine what it may be like in another 100 years.

We’ve come a long way….
Thanks, Gene

Canada passed a law that prohibited poor people from entering into their country for any reason.

We need to enact this law again... Would keep out much of the trash!
