Yes more spam...

America 100 years ago
100 Years Ago
-------------
The average life expectancy in the United States was forty-seven.

Only 14 percent of the homes in the United States had a bathtub.

Only 8 percent of the homes had a telephone. A three minute call
from Denver to New York City cost eleven dollars.

There were only 8,000 cars in the US and only 144 miles of paved
roads.

The maximum speed limit in most cities was ten mph.

Alabama, Mississippi, Iowa, and Tennessee were each more heavily
populated than California. With a mere 1.4 million residents,
California was only the twenty-first most populous state in the
Union.

The tallest structure in the world was the Eiffel Tower.

The average wage in the U.S. was twenty-two cents an hour. The
average U.S. worker made between $200 and $400 per year.

A competent accountant could expect to earn $2000 per year, a dentist
$2500 per year, a veterinarian between $1500 and $4000 per year, and a
mechanical engineer about $5000 per year.

More than 95 percent of all births in the United States took place at
home.

Ninety percent of all U.S. physicians had no college education.
Instead, they attended medical schools, many of which were condemned
in the press and by the government as "substandard."

Sugar cost four cents a pound. Eggs were fourteen cents a dozen.
Coffee cost fifteen cents a pound.

Most women only washed their hair once a month and used borax or egg
yolks for shampoo.



The five leading causes of death in the U.S. were:
1. Pneumonia and influenza
2. Tuberculosis
3. Diarrhea
4. Heart disease
5. Stroke

The American flag had 45 stars. Arizona, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Hawaii
and Alaska hadn't been admitted to the Union yet.

Drive-by-shootings -- in which teenage boys galloped down the street
on horses and started randomly shooting at houses, carriages, or anything
else that caught their fancy -- were an ongoing problem in Denver and other
cities in the West.

The population of Las Vegas, Nevada was thirty. The remote desert
community was inhabited by only a handful of ranchers and their families.

Plutonium, insulin, and antibiotics hadn't been discovered yet. Scotch
tape, crossword puzzles, canned beer, and iced tea hadn't been invented.

There was no Mother's Day or Father's Day.

One in ten U.S. adults couldn't read or write. Only 6 percent of all
Americans had graduated from high school.

Some medical authorities warned that professional seamstresses were
apt to become sexually aroused by the steady rhythm, hour after hour,
of the sewing machine's foot pedals. They recommended slipping bromide
-- which was thought to diminish sexual desire -- into the women's
drinking water.

Marijuana, heroin, and morphine were all available over the counter at
corner drugstores. According to one pharmacist, "Heroin clears the
complexion, gives buoyancy to the mind, regulates the stomach and the
bowels, and is, in fact, a perfect guardian of health."

Coca-Cola contained cocaine instead of caffeine.

Punch card data processing had recently been developed, and early
predecessors of the modern computer were used for the first time by
the government to help compile the 1900 census.

Eighteen percent of households in the United States had at least one
full-time servant or domestic.

There were about 230 reported murders in the U.S.annually.

You mean coca-cola doens't have cocaine in it any more? That is flagrant false advertising. Coke? Lousy, mis-leading stupid advertisers. Image

About 150 years ago, America sent battle ships to Japan, and targeted guns to Tokyo (called Edo at the time) shouting, "Open up, or else!!!"
Japanese government then was sooo terrified to see those big guys with big nose and loud voice, so decided to open Japanese ports to foreign countries.
Now, after reading your America 100 years ago, I just thought you Americans haven't change much since Image

Except the number of murders, of course Image Image

Minerva: That's a little below the belt don't you agree? (I love it!)

Wasn't Holland the only country the Japanese ever traded with in what is called in Holland "the golden age" ? (not asking for a history lesson... if you don't know... neither do I so I can't blame you... Image)

@Chrissy: I think they traded with the portuguese too at the same time, and then closed their ports for aything that came from "the outer world".

A rather interesting thing, Japanese history. Maybe Athina could fill us in with some details. I have read some things about it but not much. It is very interesting to watch the pre 1850 feudal society who was practically cut off from the rest of the world, turn into a major Imperialistic force in less than 50 years. And again, that very same Imperialistic power turn into a peacefull money making technologicaly advanced society after the 2nd WW.
A really interesting thing.

@Minerva: Touche!!!!!

Chrissy: Well, Holland was only Western country who had trade with Japan since 17th century. We cannot ignore China, of course Image So, the first Western medical book in Japan was translated from Dutch.

Melosh: Image Image Image
But, to be fair, Russians, French and British all arrived Japanese coast long before Americans. They were spying around, tried to smuggled into, and failed to open Japan. Well, of course, they were busy fighting over China that time...

More spam from the spam master..
This is off of another board..
Originally posted by Testy66:
“JERRY…JERRY…JERRY…JERRY…” chanted the audience, caught in a frenzy of voyeuristic delight. I sat glued to the television screen, my face frozen in a grimace of horrified fascination.

A group of transvestite dwarves bitch-slapped one another on stage in an orgy of homoerotic pugilism. “Go Jerry,” screamed a pregnant young woman of dubious parentage, her eyes bright with demented glee. Jerry stepped through the audience shaking his head in a hypocritical pantomime of moral superiority. Like a vulture he stalked through the audience, feeding off their sadistic pleasure the same way a scavenger might pick at decaying corpses. A band of burly goons had finally managed to restrain all but the feistiest dwarves.

Suddenly, one of the midgets broke free. Sprinting towards the nearest Neanderthal-cum-security guard, he sank his tiny little teeth into the goon’s thigh. Disproportionately tiny arms and legs flailing in the air, he was finally forcibly removed by the goon-squad, amidst frenzied cries ranging from the bewilderingly inappropriate “You go, girl!” to the ever-present “JERRY…JERRY…JERRY…”

The remaining dwarves sat docilely, their meagre reserves of testosterone spent in that one brief, furious moment. Enthusiastic hoots and whoops from the audience seemed oddly out of place. I sat, bound in a trance of morbid curiosity, feeling as though I was witnessing a particularly gruesome automobile accident. A young man in his early twenties, who according to the obscenity shaved on the back of his head regularly indulged in intercourse with his mother, stood up and was given the chance to address the studio audience.

Whatever inane and asinine moral judgement he was about to pass was lost in a fresh gale of cliched ghetto slogans that was triggered by the bizarre antics of a dwarf, who it seemed was a firm believer in the idea that the human body is a work of art. So much so, in fact, that the aforementioned aesthete had decided to stage an impromptu exhibition all of his own. Barely able to tear myself away I flicked off the remote control.

So what, may you well ask, is the moral of this story?

Quite simply this. Jerry Springer is the Anti-Christ. His show and its overwhelming popularity are proof that the human race is doomed. I do not make these statements lightly. Anybody who has watched this show for any length of time will see that it is the modern day equivalent of the freak-show. Gather round, boys and girls! Every perversity, every distortion of human nature is on display for all to see.

What’s that sound? Can you hear it? Listen closely… it is the sound of the collapse of Western civilisation…

“…JERRY…JERRY…JERRY…JERRY…”

Ubik: Portuguese are the first to arrive Japan from Europe(and they claim they "discovered" us!! How can the newer country discover the older, known to others for long long time? It makes me Image sometimes...) in the 16th century. Spain, England and Holland followed. It's the age of Reformation and the war over the Netherlands in Europe, as you know, and Rome found a new land to preach. When Portuguese & Spanish (Philip II was the King for both country) bought some lands for churches and merchant houses, Dutch warned Japanese government, "Spanish were planning to build fortresses to prepare their invasion". That's why Japan closed all contact to Europeans, and the Netherelands were awarded with trade. English left eventually, because they found more profit in India and America.

Sorry, I am lecturing...

PS. Games like Shogun were staged around this time Image That's why I cannot play the game (I know the result, and there is no IFs in history. I am a historian Image)
