    What language Bdee? lol And that's Political Correctness KILLING this Country...
    For my dissertation, I have to be able to read handwritten 10th century Arabic, I can read and write Spanish, and I do okay in Latin. My dissertation is on 8th century Muslim Spain, so most of my source material is only in handwritten Arabic, but it isn't as easy as reading modern Arabic. largely because there is no punctuation, and for those of you familiar with Arabic the usage of dots were not standardized by that point. At the time Arabic was still forming, the first instances of it as a written language were set down less than 200 years before. (don't get me started on Koranic translations)

    But quite a bit of the material has been translated by Spanish historians, and just a small percentage has been translated already into English. Latin is really only useful after the 13th century and for looking at the Visigoth pre 711.

    On the contrary, Conservatives exit school trying to figure out how to make more money and better their lives, Libs try to do just the opposite and figure out how to take ones money and give it to worthless @$%^#:(
    If it is money you're interested in I would advise a young person to become a licensed plumber or electrician. Four years experience would put them quite a bit ahead, financially, of a recent college grad.

    But yeah, when I am at work, I am generally the most conservative person in the room. Most are somewhat to the left of Sanders poltcally.

    Me saying I support gun rights and I am pro-life is a deal breaker, I have to agree with them on every issue. Not so different from this forum. But, yeah, me saying those things gets me looks as if I said that I prefer eating small children slow roasted and basted in bbq sauce...

    On the old Georgia gun forum that bdee and I used to visit, georgiapacking.org, he calls himself: Polemicist

    It's the truth. I put him on ignore and enjoy both forums a lot more because of it.
