Talk:Animism/Archive 2

message: Hi, I'd like to try to find a way to keep the essence of the article, but remove the overall sense of civilized superiority that exists in many parts, no doubt as a result of the inclusion of stuff from 'brittanica'. A good example is "Education has brought with it a sense of the great gulf between man and animals; but in the lower stages of culture this distinction is not adequately recognized, if indeed it is recognized at all. The savage attributes to animals the same ideas, the same mental processes as himself, and at the same time vastly greater power and cunning", which reminds me of 1950's documentaries about the quaint nig-nogs in africa and elsewhere.
It seems a bit rude to just start hacking away without talking about it first, hence this posting. I read about NPOV and it sounds a good idea to me.

Talk:Morrill Tariff

message: As it's written right now the historiography section is a bit of an oversimplified mess & not really up to date at all. This article should steer clear of broad sweeping statements about nonexistent "consensuses," and amateur debates among the pop history crowd. If someone is willing to rewrite it, let me suggest the following article from the University of Texas History Department's Civil War website.  It provides a good summary of the actual historiographical discussion around the Morrill Tariff, summarizing the main views that are currently held by professional historians about its relation to the war. Thank you. WalkerTRW (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 20:29, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Historiography

message: Seems like an obvious question. Heather Cox Richardson's quote gives part of an answer: "duties on agricultural, mining, and fishing products, as well as on manufactures. Sugar, wool, flaxseed, hides, beef, pork, corn, grain, hemp, wool ... coal, lead, copper, zinc, and other minerals ... dried, pickled, and salted fish." 
A what-when-how article adds this further explanation: "a 10 percent duty on goods considered necessities and a 20 percent impost on products that were less necessary ... a 30 percent tax on luxury items based on their value."
What precisely did the bill do about those products exported by the South, e.g., cotton? I don't know, but it's relevant because Southerners didn't like the tariff.
Page Notes (talk) 20:48, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  What did the Morrill tariff tax? 

message: This article gives the impression that one can have tariffs on imports without tariffs on exports. That is emphatically not how the world works! Usually, other countries swiftly adopt retaliatory import tariffs on American products, or from our perspective, tariffs on exports. 
These retaliatory tariffs are significant because they disproportionately affected states that relied heavily on exports, that is, Southern states. People care about the Morrill tariff because it helped fuel the creation of the Confederacy by pissing off Southerners, namely by trashing their economy. How a reader can appreciate the significance of the Morrill tariff without learning this is beyond me.
This article says Morrill planned to "distribute the benefits of a tariff to all sectors of the economy," thereby giving a false impression that the Morrill tariff was somehow fair and balanced. Baldly presenting this claim without mentioning that, due to retaliatory tariffs on exports, is just plain wrong.

Talk:The Bear and the Dragon

message: Changed minor to large. And who removed the entire criticism section???
This was one of the more controversal Tom clancy's novels I dont think the entire section on criticisms of should have been removed.
cool book bad idea.
I think that there should be a responce to the criticism in the article  to make it less point of view. However the statement " which Clancy used only as a means of making the characters belivable and not to slur Asians." ignores the main criticism, which is not only does Clancy makes his characters use racist terms, he also characterices Asians in an extremely negative light through their characterisations and actions. If someone has a source link perhaps we could put a modified version of the statement back in.--Gary123 02:00, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Sheepshank

message: Is the Sheepshank both
with both loops on same side (Line x-crosses in-between the hitches) and
both loops on opposite sides?
It does not look like (after tying both ways) 2 ways of tying the same knot but rather 2 different knots with one name (I have found 2 ways of tying it  and one way of tying the other knot ).  I just tied both of them.  I noticed the one with both hitches on the same side was on a sailors knot sight and the one with hitches on opposite sides is a Boy Scout knot.  I sail and I remember (But I can’t go back to double check) that I saw the one with both loops on the same side in a book and a poster of sailing knots.

message: As I continue to explore the pages associated with this project, and ruminate on arguments I have already made, I keep coming back to a question of perspective on Cause vs. Effect. The list of disasters on this page are all about Effect - the loss that results from a disaster (many are also not disasters as defined by Emergency Management principles). However the title "man-made" itself references the cause. This, I believe, is the central conflict which plagues the thorough categorization of disasters.
I think this page would be more useful if its title were changed to make it less contradictory to the social custom of viewing disasters by the type of loss. I invite discussion on the subject while I research a better hierarchy. Parradoxx 21:27, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

I found a ref to a Walll Street Journal article where the topic is discussed. The author is rather oblique there on the issue of the book having been banned and only says that the book "appears to have met with some protests in the U.S." That is a far cry from saying that the book has actually been banned (plus where precisely?).

* Only Lillebror can see Karlsson; only Barnaby can see Mr. O'Malley.
* Karlsson frequently gets Lillebror in trouble; Mr. O'Malley frequently gets Barnaby in trouble.
* Karlsson can fly via a propeller; Mr. O'Malley can fly with his pink wings.
* Both Karlsson and Mr. O'Malley smoke cigars (IIRC).
Maybe these are just coincidences, but if not, it'd make sense for the Karlsson-on-the-Roof page and the Barnaby page to cross-link each other.
