Happy thanksgiving!

history is today, the more things change, the more they stay the same

I will need to think about that statement Doc.

Haven't the time this morning.

Well....U.S. Taliban history is a debate in itself.

And no, I'm never much of a celebrant.

Though I do think that Joe made a very wise decision to pull out.

History should have told you that you would ultimately achieve nothing.

The U.S. originally went there as a knee jerk reaction to the twin towers, and was chasing ghosts ever since.

And who is celebrating?....It's was all there in black and white.....Forgotten and now confined to history....So move on.

Northern Ireland is a perfect example, literally 400 years of violent history yet they still cant get over it today

Undeniably true Doc.

Though as we discussed on a previous occasion, the modern "troubles" are fuelled as much by criminality, as by cultural differences.

The majority are probably happy to coexist peacefully.

The small minority do not see benefit in peaceful coexistence. And unfortunately the mob is easily roused.

Those hurling bricks at the Police these days, are generally testosterone fuelled under twenties.....Most of whom probably lack any accurate knowledge of Irelands history.

It's just us and them politics again Doc.

Kyle and Joseph....Same old shit.

its a generational thing, the kids that are throwing bricks today had parents who threw bricks 20 years ago, and those rioters had parents who threw bricks .40 years ago, and those people had parents who also threw bricks., and those rioters had parents who threw bricks, and those rioters had parents who also threw bricks, and those rioters had parents who also threw bricks, and those rioters had parents who also threw bricks. and those rioters had ancestors who also threw bricks, and those rioters had ancestors who also threw bricks, and those rioters had ancestors who also threw bricks, and those rioters(fighters i should say) had ancestors who also threw bricks. So, it makes sense

For sure.

Inherited data.

The transfer of "sense".

Or non-sense.

You choose Doc.

Though stone throwers are just stone throwers, and have probably always been nothing more than the stone throwers.

true

It's good to end on agreement Doc.
