"The most unlucky ended up stuck and forgotten out in the desert, in some sleepy town such as Suez, or in the Turkish sultan's galleys, where some slaves rowed for decades without ever setting foot on shore."

at very least Im going to trust the bbc http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/british/empire_seapower/white_slaves_01.shtml

I bet you could crowd fund a film pretty quickly "the Barbey Pirates" .. get some diaries... follow a few british families just trying to cross from england to ireland... captured... etc etc

although the optics of a rows of white people in chains in a galley rowing probably wont sit well with a modern audience

apparently the figure of a pirate with an eye-patch may have come from this guy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rahmah_ibn_Jabir_Al_Jalhami

pretty sure the eye patch was used so they could easily go under deck without having to wait for their eyes to adjust

thats what I heard too

The left can’t meme thing reminds me of fundamentalists Christians trying to make comics or rock music. Or be funny too. They put the message before the art, and what’s left is ham fisted trash.

You guys seen the Bible Man Adventures super hero show? This illustrates exactly what a mean. Sjw stuff is this level of lame.

I suppose it’s unintentionally pretty funny, but so is sjw cringe.

I dunno there's some pretty catchy Christian music

Of course. And beautiful art, poetry , ect, ect . I didn’t say Christians couldn’t be funny or artistic in their spiritual expressions. I’m saying the hardcore zealots can’t. Shit, some pastors can be pretty funny in their sermons sometimes.

"I live creatively"

"We are not going to stop until the administration ends the demoralizing of families by separating them but technically they ended it with an executive order but still we gotta keep going because that's what matters, it's awesome"

by the guardians new definition of alt right - the alt right is a lot bigger than I thought... and apparently they are mostly normal people who are libertarian and fiscally conservative... according to the guardian ...

I'm having a lot of fun reading through all the salty comments on /r/politics. Feels like the election again.

Also the whole thread is people talking about moving to Canada or Europe. Literally no one wanting to go south. Seems a bit racist.

So whos this guy who just resigned? And why?

Maybe age or something. Also there is another Dem who is in their 80s and might not be around much longer. Republicans will have a massive advantage in the supreme court.

I just see peopel complaing about how they cant get abortions anymore

are those ice cream cones on the right and left middle? yum

Oh I recall them saying that all the dems on there are in their 80s

Yeah abortions could get overruled.

While the repubs are 402-60s

@zero_consequences They look like ice cream cones, lol. Maybe torches?

They are actually calling abortions a right.
