re: Does Europe have any Rednecks?

quote:I believe the Swedes consider Laplanders to be their version of rednecks. A buddy of mine married one. She dips, drinks like a fish, has no aversion to showing skin, and watches porn with a critical eye. She's also blonde, has an ample chest, a tight arse, and, in short, is hot. She was a true prize as a student at Alabama.
Northern Europe and Scandinavian countries are likely the least redneckish

quote:Bear Arms - If they are legally admitted, yes, they can purchase/possess a firearm even when not a citizen.
So anyone that slips across the border can bear arms and vote?
Vote - No, the 26th amendment limits that to citizens.
The right to due process, legal representation, bail, speedy trial, etc., apply to persons, not citizens, within states. That's why the terrorists went to Guantanamo and not federal court in New York or Richmond.

re: Names of military bases being changed again, back to previous names
Posted by HarryBalzack on 6/12/25 at 1:31 pm
I thought the mass renaming was kind of a knee-jerk reaction to BLM stuff and all. The problem is that Michael Novosel, for example, was a hell of a man and the kind of soldier that the men should seek to follow.
You could say the same about most of the other folks they renamed the bases for. Barfoot won the MOH, but it's pretty clear they only chose to rename Pickett after him because he was half Mississippi Choctaw. Henry Johnson was another MOH winner who they named the base after mainly because he was black, but Leonidas Polk was a shite general and Johnson was, by accounts, a badass, so I don't really care. Cavazos doesn't really have anything in his background to justify naming a fort after him, but John Bell Hood was an absolute piece of shite once he he went beyond division command, so I don't care if they drop his name, either. If they want an Hispanic to name Ft. Hood after, they should use Roy Benavidez. He was a fricking man.
Forts Gregg-Adams, Walker, and Cavazos could be considered suspect in the naming, so I can see changing them back or to something else, but the rest would would seem as offensive to remove now because they deserved the honor.
Bigger picture issue, however, is this - doesn't the DoD have other things they need to be focusing on other than this? I thought we back to worrying about lethality, not playing culture warrior.

The roads are falling apart and seems like there's a prison every couple of miles.
But, those studies are typically based on stats related to income and I think skewed to favor things that northern states score better on, which is usually also related to income. In other words, these are usually shite on the poors lists.

re: UConn student sues Hartford school system after graduating high school illiterate

1. She waited until she graduated to do anything about the problem?
2. I hate to tell her, but she's not a rarity. I teach at an R1 university and I bet 30% of my freshmen are, in some form or another, functionally illiterate. Read a study on why that is. Lots of reasons, but one main cause cited is the "Every Child Left Behind" stuff from the early 2000s. It mandated that if the school didn't have nearly 100% successful progression among students they could lose funding, so they lowered the standards to make sure the dregs progressed. It also put a significant emphasis on standardized tests that used only short reading passages for assessment, which caused teachers to stop working with longform literature in class. Now, those students are teachers themselves. Add to it the millennial and subsequent generational brain rot from social media and their phones and here we are, racing toward a real-life Idiocracy

Ross Gray was from about 25 miles down the road and I know two of his nephews.
Iwo Jima, Volcano Islands, 21 February 1945:
Gray was KIA six days later.
He didn't die in combat, which is the point of Memorial Day, but meet Robert L. Howard
Iwo Jima, Volcano Islands, 21 February 1945:
quote:
Alone and unarmed but carrying a huge satchel charge, he crept up on the Japanese emplacement, boldly hurled the short-fused explosive, and sealed the entrance. Instantly taken under machine-gun fire from a second entrance to the same position, he unhesitatingly braved the increasingly vicious fusillades to crawl back for another charge, returned to his objective, and blasted the second opening, thereby demolishing the position. Repeatedly covering the ground between the savagely defended enemy fortifications and his platoon area, he systematically approached, attacked, and withdrew under blanketing fire to destroy a total of six Japanese positions, more than 25 troops, and a quantity of vital ordnance gear and ammunition.
Gray was KIA six days later.
He didn't die in combat, which is the point of Memorial Day, but meet Robert L. Howard
quote:The man should have, in all likelihood, received 3 CMoHs.
He was wounded 14 times over 54 months of combat, was awarded the Medal of Honor, eight Purple Hearts, a Distinguished Service Cross, a Silver Star, and four Bronze Stars.
Howard was nominated for the Medal of Honor three times over a 13-month period but received lesser medals for the first two nominations, which were for actions performed in Cambodia where the U.S. was fighting covertly.

Gone Crazy is excellent. Wishful Drinking, from his 2021 album, is damn good, too. The Older I Get, Here in the Real World, Livin' on Love, Someday, Chasin' That Neon Rainbow, I'd Love You All Over Again, all great. I really, really liked his gospel album too.
