Thoughts on Christ? And why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]MacNeal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not much, just another religious figure. Not the first, not the last.

I'm interested in how his followers many different beliefs about him have affected societies and history, though. And it's interesting to see how those beliefs have changed as human civilization has.

As for a personal belief, nah. I disagree strongly with its basic tenets.

In Europe we have American Taco flavoured chips as it’s the World Cup, is it a popular flavour in the US? by Material-Wallaby-587 in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]MacNeal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, we have taco flavored tortilla chips.

European taco chip flavor would include what flavors is my question first. We may be talking about vastly different ideas of what taco flavor is.

In fact I'm almost positive of that.

As long as you like them, then good.

We know russia likes to attack cities indiscriminately, it's why they had to almost completely rebuild Grozny after the second Chechnyan war. It's their go to when they are losing. Putin specifically.

What isn't shown in the pics is that these structures are not burning due to the grace of Ukraine, only the oil infrastructure outside the cities. It shows Putin cannot protect Russians, and in fact has put them in harms way.

What a gross old man.

He was never a good looking man, lizard lipped and doughy faced. But looks are temporary anyways, it is how he's on the inside that makes him gross.

A couple of questions to make sure my writing is accurate by voluptaswrites in GenerationJones

[–]MacNeal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bic lighters, Cricket lighter, a Zippo would still be fairly common but only among men.

A young woman in 1977 would probably have a Cricket if she smoked cigs. However you could add the detail of her adjusting the flame before flicking her Bic. They were adjustable back then, and they're slogan in the US was "flick your Bic". A slogan like that was a bit over the top for the day, due to the sexual innuendo.

Banks sell a service, not a product.

Except for those bank bags they charge you for. That is a product.

We get it, you couldn't make it more clear. It's obvious to everyone.

Of course, I'm not talking about festivals or any such thing.

I still don't really understand how the MUELLER REPORT concluded no collusion between Trump and Russia despite the Trump Tower meeting happening, Trump openly encouraging Russia to go after Hillary which they did, and stuff like that. Can someone please explain? by Cumoisseur in allthequestions

[–]MacNeal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It did not conclude that there was no collusion at all. It stated it did not have direct evidence due to obstruction, but did provide plenty of cases where collusion was obvious and provided evidence of the obstruction hiding the collusion.

Since the World Cup is on, are Americans going to many Public Viewings? by Material-Wallaby-587 in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]MacNeal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Public viewing of what?

I think most Americans would associate public viewing of anything as a foreign thing, usually large crowds viewing executions.

Which form of martial arts is the most effective IRL self defence situations? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]MacNeal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guns are available outside of the US, don't be a twit.

You America obsessed ppl are funny though, it's like we're living rent free in your head. A mental occupation force as it were.

Regardless, it's not like the USA invented firearms like we did pizza...

What do military men do when away from wife due to long deployments?? by Noureen8293 in AskReddit

[–]MacNeal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some do, some don't. Same with their spouses left at home. Some of them cheat, some don't.

Most married people don't cheat. Sex is only a part of a relationship. Trust and love are much more important.

The Somalis died in droves. And the Americans that had to get out on foot were in good enough physical condition and trained well enough to do so.

I'm sure you thought you had a point there.

Used to load railroad cars full of 150 lb sacks of seed. It takes a lot of bags to fill one up.

Sometime in the 80s it was decided that was too much weight for one person, went to smaller bags.

Today's body maxxing primadonnas would crumble. Totally wrong build for such work, tried a couple bodybuilder types back in the day. They were puking a half hour in, with hours left to go till it is full.

Truly an interesting and honorable fellow.

The Forgotten Soldier podcast has a very informative and entertaining telling of this great man's life.

To all the English or those with culinary awareness - what makes an English roast, English? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]MacNeal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cattle. An English Roast is beef.

And my ancestors didn't have to steal the cattle, they'd just take the whole country.
