1911 : The Mona Lisa, the famous portrait by Leonardo da Vinci also called (La Gioconda) (painted between 1503 - 1506), was stolen today from the Louvre in Paris. The painting was stolen by Vincenzo Peruggia an employee of the Louvre who believed Leonardo's painting should be returned to Italy for display in an Italian gallery. The Mona Lisa was recovered two years later when he tried to sell it to an Italian Gallery.
1924 : An earthquake in the Oah area of Russian Turkestan left 8,000 homeless and killed 41 people. Also, 4,000 houses were destroyed. Turkestan has 5 provinces and an area of 721,277 square miles.
1938 : President Roosevelt publicly pledged to defend Canada should it be invaded by an enemy and in return he expected Canada to come to American aid if the U.S. was attacked. Canada and the U.S. did not have any formal allegiance, but Roosevelt said the two countries had a mutual interests in defending each other. The former Munroe doctrine was stripped of its paternalism and encouraged an allegiance between, “free peoples which geographical proximity strengthens in the case of Canada and the United States.”
1942 : The British attack on Dieppe was a disaster and German radio boasted that there had been, “a complete liquidation of the British landing attempt.” According to a German broadcast from Berlin, “The attitude of the French population showed the fullest confidence in German defenses and considered the British action as a mere nuisance.” Apparently, the stores opened at 6:00 p.m. and the inhabitants of Dieppe went on as normal, the broadcast claimed.
1953 : The President of Japan’s Chamber of Commerce, Aiichiro Fujiyama claimed that Japan would not need to do business with Red China if trade with the United States could be stepped up. Prior to the war, Japan’s business was done mainly with China and Southeast Asia. Fujiyama asserted that Japan’s silk industry and their economy was nearly destroyed by the American production of synthetic fabrics. He recommended that the U.S. buy tuna from Japan and that in turn Japan would develop the light sewing machine industry to trade with America.
August 21st, 1959 : Hawaii becomes the 50th state in the United States.
1961 : Jomo Kenyatta, leader of the Kenyan independence movement, is released by British authorities after nearly nine years of imprisonment and detention. Two years later, when Kenya achieved independence Kenyatta became prime minister.

On this date in 2022 Mylow started yet another thread that was merely bait meant to spur a political debate...

just a tip.
posts should not be void of comments. Might as well have just posted a link. Maybe offer some kind of input instead of just a cut and paste job.
13- Threads started devoid of commentary will not be allowed (i.e. links, cut-n-pastes, clicky, read this...)
I'll let it slide. This time
-
Sorry Jeej... I'ma gonna have to report that backseat mod job.
Sorry.
-
well, I knew there would be others who are not as kind as myself.
But really, we can't have this kind of flagrant and in your face rule breaking. It just tears the community apart.
As a paying customer, I choose to let this one slide, but others must follow their own hearts,
-
Brits were always imprisoning people

And there goes the neighborhood.
Way to go, MyLow.

Sometimes I just don't understand. That's not strange, I'm on my last third and I'm not active in social media other than this and another similar forum.
To me the original post provided some interesting information. If it was copied from another source, well, I have not seen it elsewhere. There's tons of forums and other media where I'm not a member. If it was copied and pasted instead of gathered by the author, the only thing I might ask for is to mention the original source.

It was a cut and paste job from a website.
the OP decided to throw respect for the rules right in everyone's faces.

Let alone Gina's BRAZEN disregard for rule #5...

Hey, you get off my jock sparky pants!

I just re-read the rules and found the Rule #13 as well.
I still don't know where it was cut-and-pasted from.
And I've seen rules #3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 11 and 14 been stretched in a much less family friendly way pretty often.

I'm giving Semp the benefit of the doubt here, but I think he was referring to ONE end of your mind vs the OTHER end

I don't know but I said somebody got hurt for something in other threads.
so unless they talk on the phone, Skype or visit each other, I have no idea what it could be.

Ahh! No, I haven't changed. I was sweaty and naked about an hour before you asked for the hug.

Semp, The different reason I’m referring to is the tattle telling.
I believe it was 3rd grade, where my class was lectured by our teachers as to why no one likes a tattletale…
