pack rat is an expert on such matters as septic tanks AND dung heaps; 'nuff SAID.
says the fuckin' guy who does the same thing constantly, lol. your hypocrisy & constant failed attempts @ high horse riding are very amusing, jp - do continue.jusplay4fun wrote: Sat Mar 28, 2026 8:24 pm Anyone who has to resort to expletives and insults, as you have, has LOST the debate. Go back to your dung heap, pack RAT.
'nuff saidTo determine if rats live in or near dung heaps, consider the following points:
Rats are opportunistic feeders and are attracted to food sources, including dung.
Dung heaps can provide shelter and nesting materials for rats.
The presence of dung attracts insects, which serve as additional food for rats.
Rats thrive in environments with ample food and cover, making dung heaps suitable habitats.
Regular monitoring of dung heaps can reveal signs of rat activity, such as droppings or burrows.
Control measures may be necessary if rat populations are found near dung heaps to prevent infestations.
That is because I post original things often, so I have TOTALLY discredited your weak argument; call that A LIE, for short.riskllama wrote: Sun Mar 29, 2026 7:48 pm LOL, of course not! no has read everything you've posted because that would take fucking years, jp - I was merely pointing out that you call pr names all the time in here and then you posted that gem I quoted above. just kill yourself, dude...
And killing oneself is what joyless folks do; I am having too much fun pointing our your LIES and the STOOOOPIDITY of pack rat or "pr" as you call him. Did you do that to avoid the OFFENSIVE name and term "rat." Pathetic, almost as pathetic as pack rat.Username:riskllama

You're right, llama. Thanks..! I had to post that we won our War in CC16 and now we need to prepare for the NEXT WAR.

Re: THE FOUNDER of AMERICA RETURNS FOR 250!!!
Post by jusplay4fun » Sat Mar 28, 2026 6:30 pmI think that basically Duk and I agree here; I quoted and posted:Dukasaur wrote: Sat Mar 28, 2026 7:56 amEuropeans were already crossing the Atlantic before Columbus. We all know that the Vikings were the first, although their colonies failed. But after the Vikings, sailors from Britain, Portugal, and Scandinavia almost certainly visited from time to time. There were seasonal fishing camps in Newfoundland already in existence when John Cabot became the first to "visit" in the name of the king, around the same time as Columbus. The French Basques are beleived to have pursued whales to the coast of Newfoundland in 1372, 120 years before Cabot or Columbus. Those fishermen and whalers, would almost certainly have led to the colonization of North America without Columbus.jusplay4fun wrote: Sat Mar 28, 2026 2:11 am
Apatheist is basically correct: Columbus did not land in the USA. And he is correct, that Columbus did not DIRECTLY have much to do with the founding of the United States. However, the Age of Exploration of the "New World" to MOST Europeans started with Columbus and there is a long chain of events that led to EVENTUALLY some 300 years later to the establishment and Independence of the US. That Age of Exploration was done first by the Spanish and Portuguese, with the Dutch and English and others somewhat later, as they too wanted a share of the wealth that was sent to those two Iberian nations. The rest of the world, Asia specifically, was not directly involved. Columbus did try to "sell" the idea that he reach the Indies.
What Columbus contributed to the process was to find gold and silver in the Caribbean. This created, basically, the first great gold rush, and this vastly accelerated the Age of Exploration. So, while I'd argue that it's false to credit Columbus with starting the Age of Exploration, we can give him credit for being a massive accelerant.
How much this has to do with the U.S. is another highly debatable issue. The American colonies were funded by exporting fish, whale, lumber and furs. Those four were the backbone of British (and French, and Dutch, and Swedish) settlement efforts in the early days, and even after they ceased to be the main drivers of the economy, they remained important. This is very different from the Spanish push in Central and South America which were pushed mainly by plunder and gold. I'm not sure the (for lack of a better term) Columbian gold rush had much impact on the British and French colonies in the North.
Later the colonies became more similar. Both eventually recentered around slave-harvested plantation crops -- tobacco and cotton in the north, sugar, coffee and rum in the south. So by the time of the American Revolution, the British colonies were more similar to the Spanish colonies. But that was long after the Age of Exploration had wound down.
He [Columbus] didn’t think Earth was flat, but by jumpstarting the Age of Exploration, he changed the course of human history.
The explorations by others BEFORE Columbus HAD no real impact on History, other than to ARGUE who got HERE FIRST (and usually after the Native Americans or whom Columbus called "Indians") while trying to convince people in Spain and Europe that he had gotten to the Indies (or Spice Islands or NOW the East Indies). He even called bell peppers "peppers" as if they are somehow linked to peppercorn plants, a prized spice from the Indies in his day.
I did not realize that Gold was discovered by Columbus so early in the Americas.
https://www.worldhistory.org/article/20 ... uistadors/The conquistadors first found gold on the island of Hispaniola (modern Dominican Republic/Haiti) in 1494. The tentacles of the empire then spread to Puerto Rico in 1508, Jamaica in 1509, and Cuba in 1511, so far the best source of gold.
and from AI SummaryI knew of Gold from the Aztecs (1521) and Silver from the Incas (plundered Inca Peru from 1532), BUT not before then. I assume the amount of Gold or Silver was NOT that much until 1521.The Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire in 1519-1521 led to the significant discovery of gold and silver in Mexico.
Silver was extensively mined in Potosí, Bolivia, starting in the 1540s, becoming a major source of wealth.
I think explorers in North America LOOKED for and expected to find Gold and some Silver, but found little to none. Timber and fur were exploited first, then crops. Tobacco was a BIG cash crop in my Virginia and later cotton.
again, from AI Summary:
To understand when tobacco was shipped to England from Virginia, consider the following points:
Tobacco "quickly wore out" the land of nutrients, making expansion westward necessary as agricultural practices and knowledge was limited in that time period. That expansion led to the start of such a westward push, well before, BUT continuing after, American Independence in 1776. The arrival of New immigrants to the Eastern US Seaboard pushed settlers and expansion westward, too, for new economic opportunity, the chance at free or cheap land, and FREEDOM of religion and worship and from restrictive laws and old ways of repression. For poor immigrants, America has always been viewed as a Land of Opportunity, as I have said long ago.Tobacco was first introduced to England in the early 17th century.
The first significant shipment occurred in 1617.
John Rolfe is credited with cultivating tobacco in Virginia for export.
By the 1620s, tobacco became a major cash crop in Virginia.
The popularity of tobacco in England led to increased demand and trade.
Tobacco trade significantly influenced the economy and society in both Virginia and England.

A) Immigration:
Did those folks who crossed the border without official status of any sort do an illegal act? YES. Are most of them here for ECONOMIC reasons? YES. Do they also enjoy the FREEDOM and the OPPORTUNITY to be successful in this country, one that provides such opportunity for ALL who arrive here legally? YES.https://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewt ... 339676[url][/url]Re: Biden causes Crisis at the US-Mexico Border
