Re: "Lincoln"
Haven't had to chance to see it yet. Looking forward to it. Not expecting it to thrill me on a historical level, but sounds like as cinematography it is excellent.
Ta-Nehisi Coates at The Atlantic has been discussing the movie quite a bit.

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts
"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

Re: Where to begin and when to end?
Well said. Huge kudos for this post.

"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

Any sources? Any?
You spout and spout. You call people names. You then throw more shit against the wall.
Let's start small.
I just talked to friend of mine, from old, and they think the FBI is about to suffer the biggest all-time blow ever.
And they are progressive FBI agents.
Anecdotes and I hear from so and so don't cut it. My uncles' bartender's cousins' wife's nephew is not a reliable source. Ever.
They want the mid-terms moved up to February 2022, as opposed to Novembet, they want the Democrats slaughtered.
Who is they? Source?

Back on topic? Maybe? Please?
Can we get this topic back on track? If Phat wants to discuss an impending civil war, I think he should propose a new topic, rather than hijacking this one.
I do apologize for participating in dragging this off-topic. Getting reacquainted with the place again after my absence

Re: Topic: Causes Of The Civil War
I don't think we should rehash this. I think you should propose a new topic based on what you brought up.
Let this topic die.
