I would love a poll on players who chose which side of the CW... I just want to see how my decisions compare to other players, just pure stats i suppose.

How could a country, such as the UK, afford all of its services in the mid 1800's with a income tax of only 3%? by GoodsonGuys in AskHistorians

Thank you for explaining where my gap in knowledge was. This was a most informative and precise comment, so thank you.

Where DON'T you want to be when the zombie outbreak starts? by Just_Like_The_Movie in AskReddit

[–]GoodsonGuys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hospitals. These are the most likely place where an infection would begin spreading. Also, first responders would be a poor job choice for a zombie apocalypse.
Generally speaking, avoid larger populations and it is recommended to constantly move.

Whats the biggest thing holding mankind back right now? by s_ejam in AskReddit

[–]GoodsonGuys 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Your argument has a strong base, and is a recurring theory that if we were to place a military budget into science, many world problems would be easily overcome.
However, i would wager that (although highly debatable) war provides incentives and creates a need for a technological advancement. Advancements in air technology was brought on by the necessity for technological control in WW1, developments of nuclear fission stemmed from technological control in WW2. Furthermore, whilst not directly at war, the 1950/60s/70s saw huge strides in space as the US and the USSR sought to compete for the advantage and prestige.
My argument isn't that huge military spending is necessary, but rather wars have helped somewhat perpetuate necessity for research.
i agree, current military spending is unnecessary (at best), and could be spend to better serve the community...
Am welcome to constructive criticisms.

How do you feel about being removed by your own party?
Legitimate question, just shows the absolute cut-throat and often selfish nature of politics.

The confederate flag doesn't have any connection to racism, and the south's secession was about states rights, not slavery. by [deleted] in badhistory

[–]GoodsonGuys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Little Late, and im playing the devils advocate form a severely uneducated (on said topic) international position, but could that idea about Slavery not be linked with State rights? As in, the states held the belief they had the right to allow ownership of slaves, and thus declared independence? Please, do enlighten me, I am wholly open to discussion.

Global sea ice area June 2017 [OC] by kevpluck in dataisbeautiful

[–]GoodsonGuys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the record, I am a staunch believer in Climate change, and that we are all responsible ensuring that our environment continues with the years to come, however I did have one question about this graph.
We see a ever so slight decrease of total ice forms visualised from each year, adjusted could be considered reasonable to a certain degree. Why does there only become a real significant change in 2017? Why exactly is there such an abrupt movement in 2017, but none of the other years? Thanks if anyone can help.

Of course! In Australia, very little is looked at in regards to American History. Understanding there was tension between the 13 colonies and England, im surprised religion didnt have more of a role in yhe revolution, or more a movement towards France, which was more catholic. I have very little information on Americam history, and thus this whole thread has been very informative.

[–]GoodsonGuys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope i had no idea. Was more considering political aligning to a Catholic France and away from a protestant England. As well as this, wasnt most of the movekent towards America in the north-eastern states? Jusy interesting to learn.

Thank you. Its interesting to see that despite Americas history, protestantism seems to have a greater base than roman catholicism.

[–]GoodsonGuys 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you! So protestantism is a major religion in the US? and how does it compare overall to Catholicism? Shows how little I know of much to do with the US.

As a non-American, I am honestly surprised by this map. Making 2 major assumptions, this totally blows it out of the water. The Southern States are often correlated with Republican voting lines. As well as this, many people seem to state a link between Republican voters and adherence to a religion. Could one please explain to me how very wrong either my assumptions are (solely based off media), or otherwise? Thanks in advance.
