I came across this new Item today in Yahoo. This comic series was first published in 1931, and one of the books in the series depicts Africans as simple minded and ape-like.

A row was caused when customers complained about the racist content and had the book pulled from the children’s section.

My opinion:

I do not believe that racist material should be displayed in the children’s section of bookstores. I do not think that such books should be banned, however. We have a history of racism and colonialism that should not be swept under the rug.

There are a lot of examples of history being sugar coated;

*There was the outcry over the Japanese high school history texts glossing over the atrocities committed in China.

*I fly model airplanes, and about ten years ago, model manufactures stopped including swastikas in the decals sets for scale models of German aircraft of WWII.

*I reviewed a question in this very forum that revealed that many young Americans do not know that George Washington and Thomas Jefferson owned slaves.

There is an old saying that those that forget history are doomed to repeat it. If we look at the history of the last 4000 years, there has been a lot of forgetting.

France attacked a German industrial city in 1925.
Were Allies always the "good guys"?

This is the second time to ask this but I thought maybe more people would see it.

It is a cell phone pic of my TV while I paused the movie "In The Bedroom"

It looks to me like a Maine seascape or that region.

Sorry about the quality just ignore the guys face in the corner.

Please help! Have been looking for this for some time.

Postulate that we are Building a Monument to Humanity on the Moon, to Outlast and give Testiment to Who we were, as a Global Community. It can't be Torn Down, Vandalized, or Destroyed in a War, but Could be Added to. Once Added, the Personage could Not be Removed.
To be Included, the Person must have been Alive, and their Contributions Non-Fictional.
They must have had a Lasting Effect on History, thus a Contemorary Newsmaker would not yet have had the Test of Time. Leaders, Philosophers, Composers, Scientists, are Equal here.
Their Contributions could be Good or Bad.

We are going to Add some "Givens" to Begin with, and Save Space:
Religeon Founders/Elders like Jesus, Moses, Mohammed, Budda, (forgive me if I left out your Favorites) have had an Obvious, Far Reaching Effect(even if you don't Believe), and will Already be Included. We'll include Adam and Eve for Completeness.

WHO would you Enshrine and Why? What History would you want Never to be Forgotten?

If you take a look at history its just an undeniable fact. Hell I have watched it change simply in the short time I have been alive. Now I know there are going to be those of you that make the claim that it has simply degraded or what have you but I dare say members of your own faith 200 years ago would more than likely not even recognize the faith you now belong too were they alive today.

So... ya if you disagree PROVE IT
back it up with some evidence

I mean I can figure that we are not alone in the universe by using the Drake Equation(N = R* fp ne f l fi fc L), but really are there people in other places thinking the same things about us?

I get in my car, step out for more gas
I need to keep looking, or this day will pass
Looking for work, does have frustration
To open these doors, to gain penetration

No luck today, it must be a curse
The local job bank, they just need a nurse
They feed me a line, I get an illusion
And in the end, it adds to confusion

You'd think with these no's, my spirit will bend
But I tell you right now, I'll look to the end
They see my work, my papers unfold
I see in their eyes, they think I too old

If I was just younger, more dashing and bold
They'd line my pockets, with offers and gold
If they saw thru my wrinkles, and all these greys
That I learned from them lines, I'm smarter these days

They say at my age, I'm surely in trouble
What do they think, they just burst my bubble
And at the end of this day, I've heard enough crap
Who'd want to work, for some young foolish sap
