Hello,

I'm putting the "cart-before-the-horse" a bit with this question but here goes:

I'm a US citizen, and if I enlist in the Legion under an assumed identity, and after 5 years of honorable service get my French citizenship and papers, I presume these documents will be in my assumed Legion name and not my previous name?

I ask because I'm seriously considering the Legion as a way to escape a mountain of debt; the debt is student loans that's been consolidated by the Department of Education, so I owe the Feds. (But I also have other personal reasons I'd like to serve in the Legion, too.) Anyways, my thinking goes if I have a new identity and French citizenship my creditors couldn't fi

Can you historians point me in the right direction, please? A month or so ago there was a link posted somewhere on Reddit and I foolishly didn't save the link. The link was to an essay, written by an early 20th century Englishman, (a Mr. B--- if I recall) about the different stages of a civilization goes through, and how we're near the last stages of Western Civilization. It looked pretty cool and I want to read it - does this ring anyone's bell? Thanks! :)

I'm within a hair's breadth of joining the National Guard but would like the advice of the more experienced guys here regarding dealing with my employer.

We all know employers aren't legally able to mess with your civilian job because of Guard duties. However, I'm sure that plenty of employers do so anyway and get away with it.

I started a new job earlier this month and want to stay with the company for the long haul. It's a local family owned company and pretty big (several hundred employees). The executives are all old fashioned Southern Republican types, and even my bosses boss is a former Marine. So I'd like to think and hope they'd be totally cool with me going away for a few mont

If a Venn Diagram were drawn I'm sure there'd be overlap between the two, but where and how and why?

Hello all,

I'm enlisting in the Florida Army National Guard. I'm going in as a Glossary Non-Prior Service (GNPS). According to my recruiter, because of this GNPS status I'm ineligible for any sign-on bonuses and incentives. I searched around online and from what I read it appears my recruiter is being truthful (additionally, how would it be to his benefit to lie to a potential recruit about not getting any bonuses?) I wanted to do the OCS/09S option, but again the GNPS makes it a no-go. However, due to my bachelor's degree he says I'm allowed to enlist as an E-4.

My questions are just general purpose: 1. Is anyone on here familiar with the GNPS rules, and can you send me a link to the

The title sums it up. As a US citizen I'm just curious how much overlap there, is if any, between these two parties? Do they work together or not at all? Seems to me the BNP has been around a long time, but now seemingly out of nowhere UKIP comes and is sweeping the country by storm. Any perspective on this from the trenches? Thanks.

I have always thought falconry would be a cool hobby to get into. I live in SW Florida near the Gulf of Mexico. Is the osprey (Pandion haliaetus) a good candidate to work with? Thanks.

Hello everyone,

I am curious if there is a consensus or not here on r/whiterights about Christianity? I know that at one end of the spectrum there are people in the movement who profess a Christian faith. At the other end of the spectrum there are those who say Christianity is just another Jewish trick to enslave the goy, and that a 'white man's religion' would be the heathenism of our ancestors. And I am sure lots of other people are somewhere between these two poles.

So, what does r/whiterights say?

Hello Redditors,

I am a non-engineer with a question for the civil engineers here. I realize my question may have a lot of variable due to state laws, local ordinances, etc., and that consulting with a local earth works firm may be my best bet, BUT I wanted to take my question to the Redditors first.

I am going to build an off-the-grid house in Florida. I would like to utilize a platform mound like the indigenous people of this area used centuries ago for their homes; this way I will be protected from flooding. But instead of a primitive house I will have a home with modern amenities. The total amount of land on top of the mound that I nee

Hey hey,

So I just started a great opportunity living in a burgeoning, permaculture, eco-village! The room I rent needs some finish carpentry to make it 'perfect'. A couple of questions for the carpentry minded folks on here:

1. The floor is concrete. Can I just lay cob right on top of that? Or is there more to it that I need to know? I am in the Pacific Northwest so moisture is an issue.

2. One of the walls is a bare cinder block. Could I plaster it with cob, or maybe something else, to give it a finished look? And can I primer and paint over the cob so as to make the paint job uniform in the entire room? Or is regular old plaster a better thing to use, or something else?

Thanks

Hello,

I just finished reading, and studying a la the Prof. Harvey lectures, Chapter 3 of Capital. I think it gave me more questions than answers!

1. If modern day markets started in the fifteenth century, and capitalism started at the end of the 18th century, then how is capitalism different than mercantilism?

2. If it is possible for markets to exist without capitalism, then what would we call the ways and means of commerce and trade in medieval, or ancient, times? Like when traders back in the day loaded up the camels, mules, and other pack animals, and traveled along the Silk Road, to trade with the East, what were these people if not capitalists? Maybe a better question is: how

An interesting article here.

What is neat to me about all this is, Bear Stanley always said something similar: That brain filters keep us sane, but when we trip the filters shut down.
