It was NOT a German camp in Poland, it was a German camp in Germany! Poland annexed the area after WWII and expelled the entire population, bringing in Poles to replace them. Fucking lazy arsed journalists who can't even do their research.

http://youtu.be/TtJawsitMsA The first dunk was the one that I saw live, with my season tickets 3 rows from court side, giving me a very good view.. A much more spectacular dunk, with all the glass falling down. Soon after the two dunks, most basketball Arenas switched to rims that collapse with enough pressure is exerted.

Was more about Paul Royle. Forget the jounrnalist. Most write flawed stories as we already know.

Maybe it's because I come from an academic background, maybe because the Army pounded into my head "get it right" ... but I get furious at journalists not doing their homework. It's on the level of those who can't tell Thailand from Taiwan, or Austria from Australia.

Or Leopards from Tigers.

 

I'm with you on this, if they're being paid for what they do, they should do it right.

Frank E. Petersen, First Black General in Marines, Dies at 83

 

 

Frank E. Petersen Jr., who suffered bruising racial indignities as a military enlistee in the 1950s and was even arrested at an officers’ club on suspicion of impersonating a lieutenant, but who endured to become the first black aviator and the first black general in the Marine Corps, died on Tuesday at his home in Stevensville, Md., near Annapolis. He was 83.

 

The son of a former sugar-cane plantation worker from St. Croix, the Virgin Islands, General Petersen grew up in Topeka, Kan., when schools were still segregated. He was told to retake a Navy entrance exam by a recruiter who suspected he had cheated the first time; steered to naval training as a mess steward because of his race; and ejected from a public bus while training in Florida for refusing to sit with the other black passengers in the back.
