Nuclear science reveals sobering truth about faked Scotch whisky [thebulletin.org]

davknight comments on Feb 3, 2020:

Old West saloon keepers were true whiskey 'alchemists', putting turpentine, gunpowder, kerosene, and ground red pepper into theirs. They also saved the 'leavings' from the bottles, by dumping them back into whiskey barrels. The distillers also did that, and had their salesmen collect the empties from saloons, so they could dump the last drops into freshly distilled batches. One such salesman was collecting the empties from Judge Roy Bean's old Langtry, Texas saloon, and was astounded that the bottles were bone-dry. The Judge told him: "The boys around here get so thirsty, they sop the insides out with their tongues!".

Greatest country in the history of the world ?

davknight comments on Jan 28, 2020:

The "Greatest Country" nonsense originated as U.S. Cold War propaganda. It was used to combat the growing interest in socialism as an alternative to colonialism, in Third World countries. The gist of it was that Capitalism was the only economic system that could improve the lives of Third World peoples: "Be like us, and you too, can have automobiles, refrigerators, and television sets!". As a collateral effect, it was designed to make American workers more accepting of mindless consumerism, and develop in them a more positive attitude towards wage-slavery: "Aren't you piss-ants grateful you work for us?"

So.

The witch doctor told him no, but that what was important, was whether the patient BELIEVED it had done him some good. (True story).

Glorification of the police and military goes back to the post-Vietnam War period, when the Pentagon decided something had to be done to improve the military's image in the public mind. So, they began offering grants to film producers, who were making films that glorified the US military. Likewise, the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration began encouraging TV producers to create more television shows, glorifying the police.

“I’m not perfect, I’m just forgiven” is the most enabling statement ever made! Christians...

That's how they get people to go to church in the Bible Belt, where the biggest sinners in town will attend church, three times a week, convinced by preachers that they can be as sinful as they like, if they attend church regularly. Which is why you'll see the biggest sinners in town (to include wife-beaters, dog-beaters, child-beaters, drunks, and crackheads in the congregation). I have even seen bumper stickers, in Georgia, and Alabama, reading--"Christians aren't perfect--Just forgiven". They have been led to believe they will still get front-row seats in Heaven, provided they attend church.
