No. This was no more correct the first 50 times someone tried to alter history by passing this off.
WW2 ended in 1945. In the 1950's, Germany was already the second largest economy. A decimated, war torn country with no industry doesn't give you the second largest economy in the world. Germany's rebuilding took very little time considering the impact of the war, and the drain of intellectual value foisted on them by the US and UK governments; it took years, not decades.
Japan took that second spot in 1968. That's 23 years to rebuild everything they lost, and become the second largest economy in the world. Between 1955 and 1973, they averaged 9% growth per year. That would be phenomenal for any country, much less one recovering from the impact of the war.
This notion that US industries simply had no competition for decades is simply very wrong, and even a brief look at actual history shows that.
Coming out of WW2, we gave veterans the GI Bill. Hundreds of thousands of people could now go to college who would never have been able to without that assistance. In 1956 the US would start the interstate highway system, which would be critical to moving goods around (and fundamentally change our entire commercial supply system). And in 1961, Kennedy would give the country a direction with a decree to go to the moon.
We had the newly educated masses, the means for transportation, and a path forward. The innovation to come from that in electronics, material science, and miniaturization is what propelled the advances that most people today take for granted, everything from telecommunications to food preservation.
And it seems like just weeks ago there were blind idiots on here preaching how Trump had solved the NK problem here on slashdot.... while those of us who lived through the last time NK pulled this shit pointed out "don't believe it till it happens."
I would like to think that this will give those idiots a reason to reflect on their blind, stupid, down-on-their-knees, love for all things old grab-thee-by-the-pussy Trump does... but i doubt it will; stupid can't be cured that easily, and apparently stupid never learns from the past.
You are a worthless fucking idiot. Cunts like you are nothing more than mentally challenged windbags who wouldn't lift a finger to help their country unless a gun was put to their head... and even then i'd expect you to turn traitor the first chance you got. I say send all the little cunts like you off to a fucking island somewhere where you can't leech anything else from society, because quite frankly, you ain't worth shit.
Atheism is the absence of belief in a deity. That, by definition, doesn't affirm a deity. So we're back to: religion gets ridiculed because of complete idiots who defend religion with the stupid arguments they put forward.
Passed that grep is slightly incorrect. Jesus didn't speak English, he spoke dinosaurian so his raptor mount could understand him when he said "look out for the damn flood, will you!" It just so happens that English has incorporated all the dinosaurian words into it.... with the obvious exception of the word meaning "huge fucking rock from the sky." That one took centuries to say, leading to an unfortunate side affect.
Yeh, wasn't it they were suggesting that the Cambrian explosion was the results of panspermia or something? Or am i confusing this with something from a couple years ago....
I thought Octopodes Maximus was that general in ~280 AD who was known as Heptemus Maximus after that unfortunate incident while buttering toast with his gladius. That's where that old addage "never bring a sword to a really small knife fight" comes from.
As for "we speak ENGLISH".... you really need to look at where ENGLISH came from. ENGLISH hadn't created a word exclusive to ENGLISH prior to probably the 1950's; ENGLISH is nothing more than a conglomeration and bastardizations of words from all the other languages around.
The cause is that the GOP party politicians don't give a fuck about this country, they only give a fuck about themselves being in power.... and they're willing to lie with every breath to make that happen. Their base is so willing to be lied to just so they can remain living in their fantasy land bullshit, that they go along with the bullshit no matter how damaging it is to this country. Then there are worthless fucks like you who are more than willing to destroy this entire country just so you can act like a petulant little teen instead of an adult.
The problem is complete fucking stupidity, and an abject hatred of the US, on the part of blindly ignorant conservative 1/3 of the electorate. And again, i agree... grab-them-by-the-pussy Trump, the whiny little worthless bitch, is a perfect representation of people like you. It used to be conservatives cared about this country.... but that ended in the 90's, fueled by their down-on-their-knees worship of Reagan's myth that they created.
Your sig really gets to the point... you don't know shit about anything, but you want your worthless, ignorant opinion to be considered right... no matter how fucking stupid it is.
It doesn't matter who is offered up if republicans spend 8 years knowing who it's going to be, then abuse their offices to run an 8 year long smear campaign against them. Add that to the fact that the republican base is essentially a bunch of complete fucking morons who can't take responsibility for anything in their life, having the driving need to blame anyone and everyone else for them being limp dicked little bitches, and you have 1/3 of the voting electorate being too fucking stupid not to do what the fascist lying sacks of shit in the GOP "grab-them-by-the-pussy" party tell them to.
You fucking conservative idiots elected a whiny little bitch to be president.... and i agree, he's a perfect representative of you. Fucking little neo-nazi, piece of shit, enemies of this country.... every fucking one of you.
That idea presumes nothing, but recognizes the fact that no probe we've sent anywhere has actually been sterile. What they have been is within the standard allowable limits. Those limits were developed in the 1950's and 60's, well before we had an understanding that there are numerous types of things that can survive in hard vacuum and unfiltered radiation for extended periods of time, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
I would imagine he's talking about just objects in our solar system (the over 100 reference). As for "round, made of regular matter and not a star," that's a good definition for a basketball too.
....which is because of Pluto's very eccentric orbit in comparison to the rest of the planets in the planetary plane. That's actually just another ding against Pluto.
https://www.amazon.com/Bare-Fa... is a far better book, and it's not even fiction. It's the tale of a grifter, conman, and the gullible idiots who follow him.
I wouldn't piss on that fucking neo-nazi piece of shit if he was on fire. Worthless fucking enemies of this country, every god damn neo-nazi shitstain out there.
That is a great example, though, of how stats are used to obfuscate and lie. Christians only have a higher rate of giving if you include money given to the church.... that isn't charity, that is them attempting to buy their way into heaven. Most churches, in fact, are dismal when it comes to using that money for causes other than paying for their own upkeep.
As for contradictory values... yeh, evangelical values are definitely contradictory from pretty much everything Jesus taught. If they hate his teachings so much, they shouldn't be lying to everyone telling them they're Christians... they're not.

Yeh... and you got some brown shit on your nose. Has Trump asked if you swallow or spit yet?

People, ridicule, religion, because, people, like, you, defend, it, and, sound, like, idiots, saying, stupid, things. Here's, a, little, help, for, you:

DILLIGAF?
I don't know that that's an appeal to authority... an appeal to... um... drek, maybe?
At least some country is putting up some https://www.youtube.com/watch?... for exploration.
We learned about the planaria experiment in HS back in the 70's; this somehow seems all very familiar.

You are a special kind of fucking idiot.
It doesn't matter who is offered up if republicans spend 8 years knowing who it's going to be, then abuse their offices to run an 8 year long smear campaign against them.

Exactly my first thought too. Wonder how much they'll be charging for that one.
No.
That is a great example, though, of how stats are used to obfuscate and lie.
