 or OAM turning an innocuous discussion into something hateful and anti-religious.
I did what now?

Cincy suggested a battle of Christians beating Muslims was important - as if to say that the Muslims beating the Chrsitians would have been worse.

What else would you glean from this?  
The "hate" word (btw, when in the holy hell did this crowd get so triggered?) was alluding to the above idea in a joking manner.

I'm less guilty of turning the conversaion hateful and you're more guilty of freaking out over nothing.  As how a snowflake might.

Oh I too was only joking OAM.  Seems like you got triggered by just a little friendly ribbing.

Lighten up, Francis.

 BTW does this country do anything thats good or are we bad to the core.
This isn't honest.  Stop it.
The US has many, MANY great things about it.

But as an overall criticism, I'd replace the silly "bad to the core" with perhaps something like "under severely greedy leadership" at every possible level.  

But I'm just an asshole hippy jerkface, so what do I know?

That is interesting.  I saw a show where they mentioned that truck driver and the guy he picked up who he thinks was DB Cooper but I never heard the theory that he fooled everybody into believing he jumped out there then waited.  How do they explain the money that kid found up in the NW, a plant? 
That part was from the agent who thought DB bailed in the desert around Reno.So another guy completely.I got to get into this book.They think McCoy was DB  lost the money in the 200,000 jump - I don't know where yet.But he had problems with the aft staircase to so he asked for and got 1/2 million on his next jump about 2 yrs later and they somehow nailed him.The guy got away 1/2x as he was in Special Forces in Nam.McCoy ended up getting gunned down by FBI agents.But the Feds dismissed him as DB for what ever reason .Some researchers are piecing together evidence he was DB

The battle was important, clearly, and makes most lists of most important battles in history.  I neither said nor implied anything about what could have been better or worse.

It simply was a pivotal battle in history, one sometimes overlooked in standard history classes in my experience.

Okay, then why do many consider it so important?  Let's start there.
