Shouldn't the same be said for Ukraine and who they wish to align themselves with? Goose and gander right?South Ossetia and Transnistria actually declared their independence all the way back in the early 90s.
I am not picking and choosing. I have no problem with most independent movements. Especially after what happened with the former Yugoslav Republic. Why is Kosovo allowed to be their own nation but Donetsk is not?
And it's not really Russia or Ukraine's choice. It should be left to the people of Donetsk and Luhansk. If they want independence then it should be fine.
3 basic "races" which are easily identified by bone structure: Mongoloid, Negroid, Caucasoid. Yes..these terms are not probably up to par with modern sensitivities but thats what I heard on Forensic Files.
I don't know sh!t about the bible other than I'd rather read it again than Watership Down.So you mean descendants of Shem, Ham, and Japheth ...right?
Bibilical scholars ascribe the sons of Noah to races this way:
Shemites....asians/pacific island/etc
Hamites...africans and similar
Japhethites....white folks of European origin (Caucasians)
As best i remember it anyway

Human genetics, and especially how early humans migrated out of Africa is truly fascinating, especially when you look at how the different cultures advanced in their own ways.Word. You and i are close in age though and our musical tastes overlap pretty well which also makes sense. Also as you already know my whole fam was USAF lol..
Definitely dont want to derail the thread but i think its cool that thousands of years before anyone even knew genetics existed the Bible says that there was a great flood and the whole world perished other than elderly Noah and his 3 sons/wifes. It tells that Noahs sons would be the 3 that were the basis for all the different peoples of the world. Thousands of years later genetics reveals that there are in fact 3 distinct "kinds" or "lines" of peoples on Earth. Pretty cool IMO.
* also cool that nearly every culture on Earth decribes a time of a great flood the likes of which were never seen again. In dozens of different languages, cultures, and on several different continents plus the island peoples like Hawaiians

It's not shallow thinking. It's called stating facts. Honestly what business is it really of ours if Donetsk and Luhansk want their independence? We have more important things to worry about here at home.This is shallow thinking. Not every American wants to be free or conservative or even capitalist so you believe they should form their own communist countries within America?
is it going to be eerily similar to fascism?It's not shallow thinking. It's called stating facts. Honestly what business is it really of ours if Donetsk and Luhansk want their independence? We have more important things to worry about here at home.
I've heard some people say they would have no problem of California would secede. Then of course you have some people in California who would love to separate from the more democrat parts of California.
As far as capitalism goes maybe it's time we create an economic system even better than capitalism. Nothing is stopping us from doing it.

And everything I've stated has come off the top of my head and from extra studying and reading in my free time. Every once in a while I'll post a link to something. Usually in response to links other people have posted.Hahahaha....every single word of that came out of brain, shooting straight from the hip with zero punctuation or spell checks dude. My highest level of formal education is a GED and a few college courses relevant to construction btw. Havent been in a classroom in 25 years.
Read.
Learn..
Stay curious and do your best to never spread misinformation .
I have raised a HS valedictorian and have another in 7th grade not far off the pace.
I had a pager in HS because cellphones didnt drop til my senior year. Was an adult when the interwebz hit the scene. Educate yourself. Nobody else will if you dont.
Edit: i do not post often but they tend to be novels when i do. I challenge you to find a single instance in ANY post on VN over the years where i copied or pasted something attempting to pass it off as original text. I must say...your accusation is a bit flattering and i appreciate it.
