Proof that history repeats, again and again.

Proof that history repeats, again and again.

[This came in]

1981 & 2005 - Two Interesting Years

Interesting Year 1981
1. Prince Charles got married.
2. Liverpool crowned soccer Champions of Europe .
3. Australia lost the Ashes.
4. The Pope died.

Interesting Year 2005
1. Prince Charles got married.
2. Liverpool crowned soccer Champions of Europe .
3. Australia lost the Ashes.
4. The Pope died.

Lesson to be learned:
The next time Charles gets married, someone should warn the Pope.

.

Question posed by Yadda,

Do you believe in coincidences ?

I mean, the sun came up yesterday morning, and guess what happened this morning!

In a time of universal deceit — telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

No evidence whatsoever it can be attributed to George Orwell or Eric Arthur Blair (in fact the same guy)

So you have found 4 events that (sort of) repeated out of the countless trillions of events that didn't repeat in those 2 years.

The human brain is hard wired to look for patterns. We often see patterns that aren't there. That's why so many people believe in conspiracy theories, astrology, karma, religion and other superstitions.

The Right Wing only believe in free speech when they agree with what is being said.

Indeed, pareidolia is one term for this

Ethnic conflict occurs as far back as history records, exists now, and will continue to exist. Anywhere where two or more groups have largely different values and morals will bring conflict.

Yeah - but it was just going through the motions.... nobody asked the earth if it was the centre of the universe.... or if it should orbit the sun... just a conscript....
