Yes i relize I used an older spelling of the name Dracula.
It is argueably the original form.

Does anyone have any early information on Vlad?
Other than the fact that he was raised by the Ottoman's?
Or perhaps the lengend that he lived on, a life after death.

Any information on life, or conquests.

Thanks.

Why is it considered trendy to deny God?

Why is it considered trendy to deny God? Why do some like to be atheists or pagans or believe that they are intellectually beyond God? Why do those who assert that there is no proof of God's existence fail to point out that nor is there proof that God does not exist?

What do kids in the South learn about the Civil War?

From conversations I've had, and posts I've read here, it seems that schools in the south teach that the war was called "The War Between the States," and that it had nothing to do with slavery, but was actually about states' rights. Now anyone who has studied even a little about the war and what led to it knows that the only "states right" that the south was worried about was the right to own slaves, so pretending this wasn't about slavery seems to be an attempt to whitewash the past. Can anyone who goes to school in the south, or used to, tell me if this is really still happening, and what you think about it? I'm honestly curious.

Leaping to a conclusion in a single bound?

If I said the following:

The anus is a one way valve

You will be deployed tomorrow

Don't ask don't tell

Did you assume I was talking about

Homosexual acts

Iraq

Being gay in the military

The question is:

How do your preconceptions about what is meant by a question slant your answer.

Do Darkness and Silence Exist?

I've read through the other answers to this same question, but what I have not seen people think about is the fact that there is no absolute darkness within the known universe, and no absolute silence on the earth. If these things do not exist on earth, why are there names for them? And if we ever experienced absolute darkness or silence, would our senses that interpret these things just shut off because they have always been stimulated by sound and light? It just makes me wonder. Or maybe we would just implode? And by the way in space astronauts still hear sounds in their helmets so dont say that sort of thing. And in a completely silent room, you hear your heart beat... Does this mean if you leave it will be silent? you could never experience true darkness or silence I dont think. I envy blind and deaf people for this, as much as they envy us for or senses. And by no means do I take my senses for granted, I just wonder what it's like.

If nobody joined the army would there be any wars?

People often blame dictators and governments and religions and so on for wars but is it not people themselves who are to blame for accepting the call to war?

The slave trade myth?

Hi. I think that the slave trade was wrong but it led to the worlds greatest myth racsim against blacks. I think they were not taken as slaves because they were black but because they couldnt defend themselves and were exploted and as a result treated badly, why would they treat slaves right.

Also many other races have suffered, Jews, Indians and even the Irish even though they are white. In the end I think slavely only existed to please and make people rich not because they were black.

And its about time blacks stopped complaining. Others have had it much worse, Jews and the Irish.
