@Potacio4 @FastbreakHoops5 He played his prime with 3 other hall of famers as starters. Yeeeeeesh.

[Lance Bird @LanceB91923]

@BBGreatMoments And Maddux counters with a 1.56 era in 1994 when the league average was 4.92. Both players were great and there are arguments for both, but Maddux did it over nearly twice as many innings. This really isn't close.

@CJackGOFAST @historyinmemes Or the stone was all mined out

[Lance Bird @LanceB91923]

@historyinmemes These stories always leave out so many important details. The US never intended to keep the Philippines, from the start the plan was to get things stable enough for self rule. The final form of that plan was put in place in 1912, and the date set then was kept.

@RotoRob @BBGreatMoments Gant was productive in quite a few seasons. Not a HOFer but a good guy to have for about a decade.

[Lance Bird @LanceB91923]

@WorldsRewound @archeohistories That agreement has functionally been dead for years now.

[Lance Bird @LanceB91923]

@money9605 @TheNBACentel @SharmsCharania Or he is just going to keep being bad.

[Lance Bird @LanceB91923]

@Hc_Kryztov @archeohistories Nope. High-speed rail requires a certain rider level to be beneficial, almost none of them hit it regularly.

@JamesBandar @archeohistories They didnt just lose, they got humiliated.

[Lance Bird @LanceB91923]

@dominico_mucci @archeohistories French actually.

[Lance Bird @LanceB91923]

@NicholasSm77737 @archeohistories Actually not true, those would have been the French who were there to end their slave raiding. And had to do it twice.

[Lance Bird @LanceB91923]

@archeohistories Meanwhile in the real world... they were only a small part of dahomey's military and their combat record isn't very impressive. And, of course, their primary job was breaking slaves through torture and murdering family. They were pure evil.

@Ultratechman @Jason_R_Burt Hitler was a socialist nutjob just like you.

[Lance Bird @LanceB91923]

@martinsoler @AncientHistorry Keep in mind that it was the UK that started those wars, not napoleon. The UK was the bad guy in that era.

[Lance Bird @LanceB91923]

@arram @AncientHistorry You know the brits started nearly all of those wars right?

[Lance Bird @LanceB91923]

@kevinobriencha1 @AncientHistorry So few people can see beyond the British propaganda even centuries later. Good point there.

[Lance Bird @LanceB91923]

@RobinKral1 @AncientHistorry Wellington wasn't anything special. The French army had just taken so many losses it was done at that point. And he did fight to defend individual rights a lot for most of his life.

[Lance Bird @LanceB91923]

@Jamyies @AncientHistorry Most of his wars were actually defensive and were started by the Brits. We have a warped view of him because of 200 year old English propaganda. He got bad at the end, but mostly he wasn't the problem.

[Lance Bird @LanceB91923]

@TripDawg @Rainmaker1973 Because that is what their name actually is. We call them possums in the US a lot, but that is actually a different animal.

[Lance Bird @LanceB91923]

@cullensk @archeohistories Arabs started the wars. Maybe you should look into it.
