Fun Facts

The earth is 4.6 billion years old. If we scale that to 46 years, humans and been here for 4 hours, the industrial revolution began one minute ago, during that one minute we have destroyed half of the world's forests.

Very interesting...These are the Fun Facts I was talking about.


I notice how republicans have no sense of perspective. Tell them the government wastes a million dollars on something and they act like its a trillion..A million, a billion, a trillion....Its all the same to these birdbrains, and we have one cold day and it disproves all the years science on global warming for these eggheads...Maybe this will help put things in perspective for these dumbells

Migrants send over $127 Billion to their home countries every year!
That is $127 Billion that is not going back into our economy.

That figure sounds kind of high, when you make about $30/day and get cheated out of some of that I find it hard to believe that there's a lot of disposable income left over to send home....but i'm willing to compare that number to all the money American Corporations take out of the country every year..I'm going to guess..A couple trillion.

It averaged over 26 knots for 45 days.
Very cool looking boat.

Democratic Presidents have started more Combat Actions (Wars) than Republican presidents

Democrat FDR WWII
Democrat Harry Truman sent troops to Korea,
Democrats John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson sent troops to Vietnam.
Republican Gerald Ford sent troops to Angola.
Democrat Jimmy Carter sent troops to Iran (on a small mission that failed).
Republican Ronald Reagan sent troops to Grenada and Nicaragua.
Republican George Bush Sr. sent troops to Iraq and Panama.
Democrat Bill Clinton sent troops to Haiti, Somalia, and the former Yugoslavia.
Republican George Bush Jr. sent troops to Iraq and Afghanistan.

If you count the number of troops lost in each of the conflicts listed above the Democrats have caused the deaths of far more troops than the Republicans even excluding WWII.
