“Claw down”. :lol:We’re not going to solve climate change or any of the other global problems harming humanity until we claw down the billionaires from their perches and enact laws that control their greed.

(Everyone in the airport we encountered was speaking something other than English, so it wasn't an unreasonable question.) It was a long time family joke, although not so funny anymore.
This is a PeeZuss moment. No?This was her professor’s reply:
“Australia is a continent; it is not a country. That error made it impossible for you to accurately complete your week 2 research outline correctly,” she replied.
“I want you to understand any error in a project can invalidate the entire research project … Research is like dominoes, if you accidentally knock over one piece, the entire set will also fall.”
Arnold then responded with a link to the Australian Government’s “About Australia” page:
“Australia is both a country and a continent. It’s the only country that is both. I provided a resource in the first email that clarifies that for you. If you need further clarification google or the SNHU Shapiro Library has that information you … Again I mean no disrespect but my grade is affected by your assumption that Australia is not a country when it in fact is,” Arnold wrote.
At long last, her professor replied: “After I do some independent research on the continent/country issue, I will review your paper.”
Arnolds’ paper was finally regraded at B+ and came with this warning from her professor:
“Please make sure the date, the facts, and the information you provide in your report is about Australia the country and not Australia the continent.”
I can plainly see that.
I'm always amazed at just how little Americans know about the rest of the world. There is a whole litany of videos on YouTube taking the piss out of geographically uneducated people making them look complete thicko's when the real problem is teachers like this wanker.AndrewV69 wrote: ↑ ‘Australia isn’t a country’: One US lecturer’s reason for nearly failing a student

View some of Jay Leno's youtube videos on the (atrocious) level of American geographical knowledge. Some of us barely know that Mexico is to our south and Canada to our north. I just checked the numbers, and Americans travel a lot -- intranationally. Relatively few travel internationally, and only half have passports. I doubt the cause is xenophobia (with the exception of Latin America). The US is huge, varied, and I think most Americans think their vacation needs can be met w/o leaving the country. It's also hard, and expensive to go anywhere (except Canada). The distances are daunting. It's not like in Europe where you can hop, skip and jump, and baboom, you're in another country.shoutinghorse wrote: ↑ I'm always amazed at just how little Americans know about the rest of the world.
Especially in the good ol’ days it was the distance and expense that made OS travel a rite of passage, esp for Australian youth. It was also a sign of relative sophistication to have hot out of town so to speak. These days there really isn’t any excuse for not seeing the world. And from the crowds in Europe, the world would seem to agree.Hunt wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2019 1:06 amView some of Jay Leno's youtube videos on the (atrocious) level of American geographical knowledge.

A tricky question indeed - Ian Gillan vs. David Coverdale (and Roger Glover vs. Glenn Hughes)... Burn is the only Purple albumn I have a physical copy of, and I saw Whitesnake a couple of times before they went all AOR and enormous hair. 'Mistreated' vs. 'Smoke on the Water'. But 'Highway Star' and 'Space Truckin''...screwtape wrote: ↑Tue Apr 23, 2019 4:21 amBut was Burn better than Machine Head? Heretic that I am, I prefer 'Mistreated' to 'Smoke on the Water', but then again, I even kinda like their 1969 Concerto for Group and Orchestra.Pseudomonas wrote: ↑Not something I've had a problem with: I'm in the midst of a massive Deep Purple (c. 1974) binge. I think what happened for me, was that I got out of the habit of listening to all my old faves, and moved on (oddly, to classical, and then to early music). Now, being on a bit of a revisit, all the old stuff is both really fresh, and at the same time a familiar comfort. And I don't really find much comes over as 'childish, stick-it-to-the-man, bullshit' or similar.

Some people appear to have the wanderlust, and it comes at quite a young age. Bill Bryson is a good example of a footloose septic. "The Lost Continent" has a delightful description of his epiphany.Hunt wrote: ↑View some of Jay Leno's youtube videos on the (atrocious) level of American geographical knowledge.

I read "The Mother Tongue" years ago - a brilliant and very amusing read. Not touched any of his other books though.
I first ran across him in the early 80s, I think. There was a one-man-show actor, Kerry someone or other, who I saw doing something in Notting Hill, and he also did something from the Lost Continent. I got the book on cassette from my local library, and have been an avid Bryson fan ever since. I particularly loved his Yank-based view of the UK, and his Brit-based view of the US. As a transplant septic myself I can really appreciate both sides...
A Walk in the Woods is an absolute hoot. Bryson, clearly not prepared for it, decides to embark on the Appalachian Trail. Sensibly deciding it would be best not to try it alone, he takes along...his overweight, recovering alcoholic buddy.Bhurzum wrote: ↑I read "The Mother Tongue" years ago - a brilliant and very amusing read.

Sounds like things are still developing...
(For those not in the know - ANZAC Day is the antipodean version of Armistice or Veterans Day - except upside down and closer to the other end of the calendar. There is typically a dawn service as well as well as others later in the day).
Can't be that many WWII vets left...
