Is America Becoming Rome Versus Byzantium?

Rome was not actually a worldwide trade center.
Constantinople was.

Business folks do what's best for business.

Its a bit different sending tax funds to Rome far far away, which is not the same as spending it locally in Constantinople.

The DC politicians should, but won't, learn a lesson about this. Originally Posted by Unique_Carpenter

It's not difficult at all to count to 20 and figure out the percentages of threads started in the 20....if you have the proper education. If not, there are always adult education classes. How many do you have at this moment ? If you have trouble getting the correct answer, consider signing up for some classes.



Playing doctor.......again ?


You give the same exact answers to every debate......marxist....DPST... ..Teachers Union Education....socialist...DPST again. That is why it is useless to discuss and debate issues with you....it would be an oxymoron. That is why you are achieving SPAM status. Originally Posted by VitaMan

And someday - submit a topic for debate.

Meanwhile - IMHO - You are just a Cult member blinded by teh racism and marxism of your ideology.
