No. Do you realize how stupid you have to be to believe that they set sail on ships, and took beads with them for decorations. They weren't beads, they were jewels. They were trying to make a fair deal when one person's most valuable possessions, meant nothing to another person because they didn't know the market for em.
Apparently 2nd grade finders keepers, rules apply. I saw it first. I claimed it. I don't even let my buddy get away with that when she's an 8.
I didn't disagree that North America was populated by people migrating here. I said it is still being debated on HOW they came. You said "Uh.... The indians came to occupy said land the exact same way the 'white' people did. Talk about a double standard.." They came by boat from Europe. The first North America settlers did not come by boat from Europe... at least the majority debating it say they didn't. Now if the statement you made is referencing simply that they migrated here and not how they migrated here, then I agree with you 100%.

As for it not being debatable... it has to be debated (Discussed) because nobody really knows. None of us were alive to witness the migrating, settling, and populating of the Americas. Not even the very educated Scientist know for sure. All they can do is offer their best "educated guesses" and theories (ideas).

My theory is we (humans) originated in the North Africa and Europe regions and spread out in all directions from there. East and West directions being the most used routes as climates and terrain would have kept travelers in a more comfortable corridor. I think that people were in North America far earlier than we think as it would have been easy to cross the Atlantic by boat.

I've got the 75", and the speakers blew early on. Other than that the 8K is amazing, but all I can find are some youtube videos for it. There are some supposedly some shows in Japan that are 8k, but I couldn't find em. These TVs will probably be outdated for some other reason before 8K ever comes to what will probably be either the NFL, or a Spielberg movie that has some views from high altitude/space.
 
The "Dick Heads" are everyone who decides that a speed limit doesn't apply to them. I am on the road with these fucktards daily. Asshats doing 60 in a 45 or 70 in a 45 or 50+ in a 35. Dick Heads every one of them.
How old are ya? Speed limits are outdated and incomplete. They are designed so all the idiots on the road that you are with, shouldn't have a problem.

My problem with speed limits is if I'm on the highway, you're telling me that an 18 year old with 2 weeks of driving experience, and knows nothing about the car they are driving. Which is a 30 year old rusted out toyota camry, that is covered in oil underneath has bad tires, the brakes are gone, the windshield is overly dirty, IS CAPABLE OF DOING THE SAME SPEED as
A 40 year old that has driven professionally, has extensively upgraded their newer sports car, and has years behind the wheel.
ARE BOTH NOT ONLY CAPABLE OF DOING 70, BUT ONLY 70???
Come on bro... (I know I picked the two far ends of the spectrum for this, but that's the point).

I copied the pyramid pictures, but they didn't show up. What I THINK they are. They are lines. As long as there is sun out, no matter the time of day, no matter the season, they are large, evenly spaced straight lines that cast a shadow and create contrast. Straight lines don't occur in nature. They are a signal to say, "we are (intelligent) life here".
Based on what we think we know from that time period, probably more about trying to signal to a god, then to other life.

It's a speed limit. Not to be exceeded. This has been made law because people can not be trusted to be responsible enough on their own to drive reasonably. Case in point, even with these speed limit laws people ignore them and speed all the time. This puts people in greater danger.

Just because a car can be driven at 100mph safely doesn't mean you should. There are cars you are sharing the road with that are not up to the task but you are all, we are all, sharing the same roads. These limits are there to keep us safer. What's the rush anyway? Running late? Leave earlier. Traffic is always bad... plan a better route. The point is, your impatience is no excuse to put others in danger.

Just my opinion but I believe them to be valid.
 
Oh is this you all butt hurt about getting thumbs down for saying really dumb things? Looks like you were waiting on that one.
Lol, no. That’s just what your post reminded me of.
But war is the reason you get to say and think so many stupid things... You're welcome.
Like what? I’m butt hurt, but this is your response to some cool tanks? 🤣

It's fair. I'm just discussing it if you are.

To me, it's the people who drive slower than the speed limit are the bigger risk. If I go 20 over you don't need to do anything. I drive around you if I can, and go on my way. If you drive 15 under, EVERYBODY else that wants to not be restricted by them, needs to adjust speed, change lanes, "interact with other vehicles" more than what they were doing.

FOR ME: The problem is the speed limit doesn't include an "additional variable". I think those of us that do use the roads, and do work on our vehicles, and do make them better. Those of us that on a Friday or Saturday night, would rather go for a drive, then drive to go drink. We should be given an opportunity to legally increase our speed limit. We should be tested more often. Check our vehicle's more thoroughly, such as tire speed type, and brakes. We could have licensing requirements that require more, such as reaction speed. I think it would take more, but for those already doing more, it's not much more.

I'm picking up what you are putting down. Also, another problem is that so many people are clueless about the lane they should be in. If you are on the interstate which is typically three lanes of travel in the same direction many people do not know that the main lane of travel is the middle lane. People often get confused thinking the left lane is the "fast" lane and that the right lane is the "slow" lane but this is also not correct but is common language. The left lane is for passing, middle for normal travel and the right lane is for entering or exiting the roadway.

I do think we need some roads with no speed limits in addition to what we have. I also agree that slow drivers driving grossly under the speed limit are more of a danger.
