I learnt that:

Quote
Obama has been drawing down our military and it will soon be at preWWII levels.
If Hillary gets into office she will continue to gut our military.

:hmm:

Are these sort of myths breed and disseminated on social media?
Why do most of those who repeat them, do so in such a critical way?


So my question is, what facts did you learn from the Internet today?

That Gen. Maxwell Taylor is credited with saving countless soldiers when his effort cancelled an Airborne assault on Italy in 1943.

See we already knew that though.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

I learnt that the racist graffiti on the Polish Cultural Centre was "Fuck Off OPM"  :hmm:

Now I wonder who or what OPM is. Maybe the graffiti was written by an EUIV fanatic who is accusing Poland of being a One Province Minor  :o

He's obviously clamoring against the return of Congress Poland and the Free City of Krakow.  :nerd:
