Common Sense--- This day in History

countryclubjoe · Jan 9, 2017

Hi Folks

On this day in 1776, writer Thomas Paine published Common Sense, a pamphlet setting forth his arguments in favor of independence from Great Britain for the American colonies. Although little used today; pamphlets were an important medium for spreading ideas from the 16th thru 19th centuries. Originally published anonymously, Common Sense gained wide circulation in taverns, coffeehouses, meeting places, and private homes.. It also was read to all of General George Washington's troops at the generals behest. Considered one of the most influential pamphlets in American history, Common Sense is credited with uniting average citizens and political leaders behind the idea of independence.
Paine's well-timed essay played a remarkable role in transforming a colonial squabble into a revolution.. The author went on to defend the French Revolution in the 1790s. He was imprisoned during the Reign of terror and returned to the United States in 1802...

Common Sense is a must read for all constitutionalist and folks that believe in individual rights. Mr. Paine in my humble opinion was the greatest founding Father and only one of three founders that did not own slaves, therefore a righteous man.

Common Sense along with Paine's " The Age Of Reason" are must have books..

It was not the government's lack of common sense that was in question. It was the people who seemed to lack it to which his booklet was directed.

Dang, those are some beautiful words you just expressed, Joe. Is this the level of prose we can expect from you in the future?

Or, are you once again shamelessly stealing the words of others to attribute them to your self, just a mere word thief, a plagiarist?

Have you no sense of shame at all? "My 2¢" my left foot; those aren't your thoughts in the least, thief.

This particular language appears to be fair use and commonly found on the internet.

We are not copyright attnys ....

I think you are nitpicking at best.

Want him to highlight that the language is from 3000 web pages?

If it ever was copyrighted, the original owner's ID is likely not able to be determined.

No, David, just the one, singular website he plagiarized it from, it's easy to find. I can even repost the link if you didn't notice it in my post.
Oh, look. It only took .05 seconds.... http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/thomas-paine-publishes-common-sense
...and Lordy, it's even got a cute little button to post the citation for even the laziest thief.

I'm ""nickpicky"" because I've suffered word thieves stealing my intellectual property and I absolutely despise a thief, almost as much as a liar.

Anything that I read and remember and recite is mine.. Or should I cite each and every word from the Constitution when teaching to the masses..

I have never been sued for plagiarism however I must confess I often teach history..

Joe, may I remind you that we've seen your actual postings? That it's obvious to one and all that your spelling is atrocious and your grammar is barely elementary school level.

Those weren't your words, you didn't 'remember them verbatim'. You are a liar and a thief.

Well, I see this all over ... many times without any cite to history.com.

Thanks for the link.

Are they the original copyright owners? Hard to say. Like I said, I see this language w/o any cite all over....I have not done a "date-limited" search because no search engine does this very well. [do this with 9-11-01 crashes ... (limit the search for before 2001)...and you'll get loads of results]

"Choice"? That's such a poorly chosen word for someone who is claiming authorship of his post above. Perhaps ... maybe... you aren't quite as well educated as you purport to be.

Are you still feeling hurt because I called you a " quasi-intellectual" indoctrinated institutionalized government actor? Your aversion to criticism is well noted, your quasi-intellect is exposed "the emperor has no clothes" and yes old ethnocentric one, you shall never be accepted into The Triple Nine Society..

Am I hurt by your words? No more so than when my goldfish soundly criticizes me because I fed it generic fish food instead of Tetra brand. I assure you, I value both of your opinions equally even though I have known my goldfish for years.

How's the plagiarism going, anyway? Going to share with us more of your wisdom that you shamelessly stole from the minds of others?

Here is some plagiarism just for you, " To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead, or endeavoring to convert an atheist by scripture.". Thomas Paine

Are you still feeding yourself from the fruits of other folks labor?. Still stealing money from the citizens? Shame on you Sir!. Try attaining a more honorable profession in life and feed your goldfish with the fruits of your labor and not the labor of others..

Speaking of fish, I am off to eat some Chilean Sea Bass, paid for by the labor of my brain and not the labor of others..

The emperor has no clothes and you sir shall never be accepted into The Triple Nine Society..

Sweetie, you have no more idea what I do for a living or how many people I employ than does my goldfish.... maybe less

You'll have to seriously step up your game if you think I can be insulted by the likes of you.

Facts are not insults, ( sweetie).. The emperor has no clothes, and you shall never be accepted into The Triple Nine Society..

The entertainment between the two quasi alpha males is priceless.. Their avidity towards insolent and impertinent behavior when they are challenged in any capacity is exposed. The chameleons have shown their true " HUE"..

Their civility in discourse is now well noted/documented.. Their creditability shattered..

Can the adults now proceed to the topic thereof..
