Hi I am Scourge and I was just banned from .net so I decided to come over here and have fun with you guys. My interests are German histroy, Islamic History, Criminal history and the origins of policing and police work in general, armenian history and the history of Religion. I am a college student currently double majoring in Criminal justice and American history. I wish to have a good time here on this forum seems like I will as most of the banned members here are members who wanted me banned at the other site so awesome.

Scourge; Thou shall not troll!; Thou shall not use rhetoric (some times)!; Thou shall especially not use sophistry! (from Wikipeida; "a sophism is a specious argument used for deceiving someone."
Or do a lot of things that I "naturally" use! Laugh!
Note the "warning" section! See my name?
You might well notice that there are a lot of "former" members of this forum!
Mostly, I have been able to control myself here, but not at other similar sites!
Welcome and Good luck!

You have been "forewarned!" I am not the most popular dance partner at this dance!
Extreme Liberal Democrat supporters of Obama are almost everywhere!
But, as much as I disliked the Bush's, I wonder just how many of the unemployed really wish either of them was now president? I really wish I could make a "poll" of our children, I.e. those who will have to "pay the price" for this mountain of debt that both parties have presented them?
It should now be obvious to everyone, that Obama, and the vast part of his administration, are either Socialists or Communists? But, there can be little doubt that the majority of them are "Marxist!"
WTF?
Hanging is still a possibility?
Maybe some of you actually remember an old book, entitled "None dare call it treason!" I do!

It seems that a homosexual head of the FBI also agreed!

Obama isn't a communist, that is absurd. Hes a moderate at best.

Speaking as one of the unemployed, the mess we have now is largely the result of the policies and lack of oversight on the part of the previous administration. This mess was in full swing long before Obama took office.
We don't need Ol' Dubya again. If we need to make fun of a fool we have Limbaugh and Beck and a bunch of others.
As for Obama being a Communist, from his previous posts it's pretty clear that Opuslola wouldn't know a commie if one bit him on the butt. [ Where's Beylerbeyi when you need him?]

Since when did not knowing anything about a subject impede you from expressing your opinions?
Welcome to AE Giovanni. Sander, what's going on here? It looks like the Nederlanders are ganging up.

Hey, all
My name is Katherine, I am a second-year BA[H] History student at the University of Windsor in Ontario, Canada.
I opened this acccount in Highschool and as of late I've returned to the forum after a couple years of not making use of it.
I'm interested in Ancient Egypt, Islamic History, German History, the World Wars, Cold War, Historiography, etc... etc... I take a particularly strong interest in cultural exchange, interaction and relations, for example, the Moorish presence in Spain, the Portuguese in Japan and the English in America.

Just joined, how are things? Let me say that if I joined army, I'd probably want to be a pilot or gunner, to operate apaches, planes, etc. If I was in middle ages, I'd probably want to be a doppelsoldner, I don't know haha.

Hi All,
I'm a bit of a mongrel honestly .... I'm an Anglo-Irish retired priest who was brought up in Hong Kong and now lives in sunny Nottinghamshire in the UK. At this posting I'm 48 years old (retired through having a stroke) but I grew up in the fringes of an ever-decreasing Empire. My father (who was in the Army) was posted to the Far East from the early 1950s and we were out there until 1984.
So ... I run the Empire to Commonwealth Project - for my sins and what started as a small hobby has now become a major addiction in my life and surprisingly I love it. Because of it I have joined number of forums from the World Navy Forums, the RAF Forums and British & Commonwealth Badge Forums where I have come across some really knowledgable people in these fields.
Oh yes, and besides the project, I turned my back garden into a farm and I'm seriously into quilting.
All the very best to ye all.
+ Anthony
