Even when the galaxies do collide, the number of stars passing close enough to each other to disturb any planetary systems is zero.

If you’re rich enough, everything is legal.

There was some integration by the British early on. I’m thinking of the Roanoke colony, where the people who were left there “disappeared,” leaving only some cryptic “Croatoan” marks on fenceposts. It’s all but certain that they integrated with the Croatoan people on Ocracoke Island. There were other incidents of British integration, but I’m sure the French up north did that a lot more.

My schooling in the 70s and 80s was all about how great Columbus was and how helpful and gracious native people were to the people who came on the Mayflower. There might have been a paragraph about the Trail of Tears. Manifest Destiny was taught as a good thing.

The fact is that there’s limited space in general [nation] history books, and in the US at least, the fight for that space is heavily influenced by national/civic pride and American Exceptionalism.

I know that in the UK, the judiciary is based on the common law system. This was brought to the colonies, of course, and the judicial system in the US is a codified version of that.

But the basic judicial concepts enshrined in common law in the UK are essentially the same as the ones codified in the US.

Aha, yes, definitely true. I’m far more familiar with US history, but my understanding is that the way Native Americans / First Nations were treated by the US and Canada are equally horrible, only differing in the details.

FFS, how many times are you going to post this?

A bit more:

If we’re talking about US history, this page would be in reference to Europeans arriving in the 1600s. By that time, the population of North America had been dramatically reduced by foreign disease. For the comparatively small number of foreigners showing up, there kind of already was “room” because of that.

Later on, when the US government was actively relocating people, different groups of people responded in different ways. Some decided it would be best to cooperate. Some decided it would be best to stand their ground and fight. None did these things because they freely “agreed” to.

I listened to a podcast episode about Bruce Lee not long ago. He was absolutely relentless in refining his fighting technique, always incorporating new tactics learned from other methods, and inventing his own. And he wasn’t globally famous until after he died.

I’m going to guess that’s from the 1920s from the stove ring on the bottom, but I’m not familiar with those manufacturer marks.

Edit: I was wrong, looks to be 1950s BSR.

Information is a close secondary power to wealth. If you have more information than someone else, you can leverage that difference to increase your wealth while decreasing theirs.

US, that’s true. But I would expect it to be the same in the UK, since our concept of the judicial system really hasn’t diverged much, historically speaking.

To expand on this, even if you are caught dead to rights in whatever crime you’re charged with, you plead not guilty at arraignment. Because once you plead guilty, it’s over. You can always change your not guilty plea to guilty later on, if a plea deal negotiated with the prosecutor is satisfactory to you. If you just plead guilty, your ability to negotiate charges and consequences are nilch.

Any time you read “So-and-So pleads not guilty” in the news, it’s not news. It’s just what you do when you are charged with a crime.

Start from the beginning. The text makes it absolutely clear that there “are other gods”.
