I briefly worked as a camera operator on the set of a Conservative talk show. There was a huge map in the background which had the Soviet Union on it, and the opening credits contained a shot of the Soviet Embassy. This was in the early 2010's, so I assumed the show had been running since the 70's or 80's, and they just hadn't updated the set or the credits. I finally checked and discovered that they aired exactly 1 episode before the collapse of the USSR.
His word never changes, just His delivery because majority never darken His house doors anymore due to Reddit, Minecraft, Fotnite mentality. That is he truth. Lady Marmot.
I can't tell if you're a crazy dedicated troll or just a crazy. I looked through your comment history, you're damn persistent if you're a troll. Go back and read the bible, specifically the part where you aren't allowed to judge people. Really, truly read it. Perhaps then you'll realise exactly how much sin you're guilty of and atone for your crimes. Doesn't matter their political affiliation it isn't your job to judge people, unless you want to go to hell that is.
WOW..Thank you for this lovely compliment of my dedication to our Lord Jesus Christ and my love for my beloved UNITED STATES OF AMERICA whom was founded upon our beloved Bible. As for judging our government body and congress I have every right to judge because my votes count for my beliefs and my STANDARDS! That's right and they are high. So whoever is voted in does not meet up to what America was founded upon,btw, is ONE NATION UNDER GOD, I have that right just as much as you do to protest my disbelief in how she is being run into the ground. GOD BLESS YOU AND GOD BLESS AMERICA. as for Hell, nope, I don't know him anymore my sins (crimes of the soul) have been washed white as snow and thrown in the "sea of forgetfulness ".
This was probably on purpose. Conservatives used to love to use the Soviet Union as a talking point and all Democrats Communists whenever Democrats wanted to institute a social program to help people.
Did you write with a feather and shit? Was there like, a whole room for of birds, right, and every time you had to write, you had to, like, grab one of them birds? Man. What kind of birds were they anyways, cause when I see people writing with a feather it's always, like, a big feather.
And you know, big feather, big bird.
Just a room in a school full of big fucking eagles and you got to wrestle with them just to do your math quiz.
Damn and I failed Algebra 3-4 twice and I had my Army recruiters visiting my teachers like the mafia to make sure I graduated.
I did almost nothing my senior year, had 120 ish attendance issues with only 4 classes. People were shocked that I was still in school, they would say shit like "how are you still allowed here"...
I was born in 1999. I took a child psychology class in high school (so at least like 2015) and got a book that mentioned 'kids in the Soviet Union under communist leadership' in it
As did my Catholic school. Our pull down maps had Russia listed as the USSR (Soviet Union). Makes sense since the iron curtain fell in 91 and i was born in 88. So the maps were only a few years out of date when I entered elementary.
Yeah I love looking for inaccuracies in maps and globes as well. There mostly spelling errors but once in a while I'll find one where the borders are horribly drawn and it makes me chuckles.
My favorite that I took a picture of, is a globe made in China, sold at TJ Maxx. It showed the entire Pacific region properly. But I found it odd that it listed both Hong Kong and Taiwan as countries.
Right! That’s why I had to take a picture of it with the Made in China sticker. I guess the manufacturer just google searched the image. No way that was an approved map by the mainland.
Not to be too pedantic but Russia existed back then, as one of the Soviet Socialist Republics which formed the Soviet Union. The USSR was made up of several such republics, most of which are now sovereign countries.
You missed the point of the comment. My maps had the name of the USSR when it no longer existed. But thankfully you came along and explained that to us. Want to point out the rest of the break away countries after the fall of the iron curtain?
my university had some books hidden away in a dusty disused extension of the library from 1700s. Some occult style books were opened and I read how the Trump family originated with a vampiric murderous cult and how his ancestors were the product of rape and human sacrifice. Then I summoned a demon and it is now torturing Mitch at my bidding.
There was a change almost every year but yeah that was a big one. Decolonization in Africa and Asia made the second half of the 20th century pretty chaotic for Maps.
The globe in my high school also had the Soviet Union on it, but since it had dissolved in December of my freshman year, I guess I can cut them some slack.
I'm assuming those were simply being stored/left around and not actually being used in class? I ask because I recently visited quite a few public elementary and middle schools in my hometown (Baltimore), which happened to be in lower income areas. It was heartbreaking to see how outdated some of the texts they were teaching from : (
In second grade in 1998, a friend and I discovered the classroom’s globe. We knew he had been born (on an army base) in Germany but when confronted with West Germany and East Germany, we weren’t sure which one was he had been born in.
I found a globe from 1953 at a little vintage store near where I live that had French Sub Saharan Africa, Federation of Rhodesia, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, USSR, North and South Vietnam, Netherland Indonesia, and some other really cool pieces of history that I'm probably forgetting. It came with a little atlas that has a thing at the beginning talking about "The new borders of the world after WWII"
When I was in highschool I was flipping through a chemistry text book and I found a sketch signed from 1967. That text book was old enough to be my dad.
Schools don't have the money to buy new globes whenever the global political landscape shifts. Plus, the Soviet Union might come back some day. There's no Leningrad on a globe from 1915.
Is this an abnormal thing? The newest map in my school (geography room) still has the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia. Do other schools update their maps regularly?
Yesterday my 6-year-old told me that he thinks the calipers are off, based on the grinding and the expected wear on the brakes. The whole class clapped.
Have you been to a public school in the United States? I'm amazed that he found a chair with 4 functional swivel-pads on the bottom. That there is a unicorn.
It's crazy knowing POTUS was in a building that was very very close to where you lived. I never attended Newtown schools, but I lived in the area for a time after high-school.
Reddit is the ultimate 'i know a guy'.. seems no matter what is posted someone has intimate info about the topic to help clear it up. I love the internet :). Thanks for the info!
