According to "Native American" legends from the Paiutes in the west, to Mississipi River valley, and the Atlantic coast, there were red haired giants inhabiting America when they crossed the Siberian land-bridge 26,000 years ago.
The Paiutes killed them, and called them cannibals; but their name meant, "Tule eaters." A Paiute woman has a dress that she inherited, ornamented with red hair, which she claimed came from them.
The red haired giants were in New Zealand when Polynesians arrived there too!
You can find an interesting video about the red headed people in New Zealand titled, "The Red Heads Of New Zealand."
Good books and videos on the subject are "The First Americans Were Black Africans From Austraila," "Soultreans Were The First Americans," "They Came Before Columbus," The Voyage Of The Brendan," a study of Leif Ericson, and China will show that they were in America before Columbusl too.
Here's a nice link I found earlier this month on the subject.
Just like Gerald Ford revised our history, when he pardoned Lee over 100 years after he proved to be nothing but a LOSER!
The statues of Confederate soldiers were only put up to revise our history.
Texans and other Confederate supporters were too ashamed and afraid to try putting up Confederate statues until decades after they LOST the war the war.
Here's part of a Wikipedia article--
"Many of these memorials were dedicated in the early 20th century..."
I know a man who lives on the streets of Hawaii every winter, saves every dollar of his meager disability check, and travels Europe every summer.
I remember your "diet thread," but never noticed a progress report.
If you're still trying to lose weight, maybe the problem is that you're a gluttonous man; and more money would just make you fatter, while you stay home and keep wishing you had more money, which you'll spend on more food, while you keep gaining more weight...
Why not try finding contentment, instead of starting threads about how different your life could be if you had more money?
...Godliness with contentment is great gain. 1 Timothy 6:6
If we did away with clothing that hides how ugly we can look under tailored garments, and girdles designed to hide years of slothful living... we'd all be much healthier.
It'd work much better than making it a crime to sell large sodas.
Tapioca, sweet potatoes, and coconuts make a really a good meal, filling and nutritious; but they taste like dessert.
Here's the only food I like better...
Purple Sweet Potato Cheesecake with *Haupia Topping
Ingredients 3/4 cups macadamia nuts (finely chopped) 3/4 cups graham cracker crumbs 1/2 cup melted butter 1 1/2 cup Okinawa purple sweet potatoes (takes approximately 2 potatoes; steamed and mashed) 1 pound cream cheese (two 8 oz. packages) 3 large eggs 3/4 cups sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 cups coconut milk 1 cup sugar 2 cups water 1/2 cup cornstarch
Instructions: To prepare the crust: Preheat oven to 350° F. Mix the macadamina nuts, graham crackers and melted butter. Pat the crust into a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes in 350° F oven.
Remove the pan from the oven, but leave the oven on.
To prepare the cheesecake: Put the mashed sweet potato, cream cheese, eggs, ¾ cup sugar, and vanilla in a mixer bowl and beat until well blended. Pour the cheesecake batter over the crust in the springform pan. Bake for 1 hour in the 350° F oven. Cool completely.
To prepare the haupia: Mix together the coconut milk, 1 cup sugar, water, and cornstarch in a heavy saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the haupia thickens.
To assemble: Spread the warm haupia evenly over the top of the cheesecake.
*Haupia is like thick coconut pudding... like "spoon meat" from a young coconut.
I attribute my education to my Dad and Mom teaching me how to read before I went to kindergarten, two grade school teachers I had in juvenile hall who helped me catch up on 5 years of math grade levels in 5 months, and two college professors.
Our schools are more worried about raising clones, than they are about teaching children the thinking and reasoning skills they need to navigate our media biased societies.
Our schools teach our children to line up, and shut up.
Our schools teach our children how to be good consumers who measure success by the things they buy (see the previous posts in this thread), without regard to who they are.
I didn't learn a thing about propaganda techniques and reasoning fallacies until I got to college... after being subjected to reasoning fallacies and propaganda techniques all the years I attended grade school.
RE: Is removing Christopher Columbus statues a good thing or bad thing?
I don't accept your attempt at speaking for Jac.I'm asking her about this statement...
"(which kinda brings us back round to writing his-story - was man made in God's image, or God made in man's image?)"
