Tangiers and the Disappearing Island

>>1659723
And how did you convince yourself that this was a /his/ topic this time?

>>1659736
Have you looked up the history of the Tangier, Virginia? Or are you just very stupid?

>>1659746
Just because something has a history behind it doesn't mean speculation about its future is history, you inbred retard.

>>1659723
No, it's disappearing from the rising water levels, the Army Corp of Engineers knows that Smith and Tangiers are doomed and not worth the time and endless energy. The place is already wetlands, and there is no economy whatsoever.

That being said it is sad, and they are an interesting American sub-culture with a fascinating accent. But you can't keep every little thing forever, especially not in a bubble

>>1659755
Its completely board relevant, you shitposting monkey. Are you really this asinine that you want to shit up a thread about something you don't like? Just ignore the thread, you piss-ant.

>>1659760
Thanks for the input. I heard also that a lot of the younger folk are leaving the island for mainland Virginia and Maryland and that their accent is also starting to fade out.

>>1659760
I should add, the Army Corp of Engineers is beginning preliminary strategies for dealing with rising water on coast, especially the Chesapeake, Delaware, Outer Banks, etc. and the resources put into this is nothing compared to the many barrier islands, along NJ for example, that have billions of dollars in property.

>>1659769
the accent part has been dying for decades, it's only a miracle it lasted this long. Cultural and dialect preservation pretty much equals economic stagnation. It will probably be replaced with a normal Virginia accent, especially if there is a mass exodus

>>1659769
>Its completely board relevant, you shitposting monkey.
>talking about what might happen to an island in the future is history
>things that haven't happened yet fall under the 25 years ago rule
There are your ordinary retards, then there are retards who really try at being retarded. Keep it up.

>>>/not his/

>>1659781
Tangiers have been around since 1670, you moron.

>>1659781
So if the government planned on demolishing the Washington Monument hypothetically, it wouldn't be a board related topic because it would be happening currently, you retard?

>>1659792
>something has a past
>so everything about it, even its future, is history
This is you.

>>1659799
>>1659787

This is (You) samefagging

>>1659798
Why make up a dumb fucking hypothetical when it's clear as day that this stupid thread is offtopic?

>>1659810
Its clearly on topic. Try harder.

>>1659812
It's clearly not.

>expecting a rebuttal to a contentless post

>>1659823
It clearly is.

>content-less post
You don't get to arbitrate the board guidlines in your special snowflake definition here, try harder, faggot. You couldn't answer the question because all you can do is change goal posts.

Kill yourself.

By special snowflake definition, did you mean
>Discussions about politics and current events should be posted on /pol/.

Fuck off to /pol/ and don't come back.

>>1659837
What current events? The OP literally has "What do you think about the Disappearing island of Tangier"; denoting its entire history and culture, when does that reflect only current Tangier? Are you literally this illiterate?

>Fuck off to /pol/
Literally what does anything of what he said has to do with /pol/?

>>1659840
And why do you samefag so blatantly?

>>1659845
> Is there any way for the Tangier Virginians to keep their way of life and community or is it ultimately doomed to obscurity in the next few decades?
NEWSFLASH: next few decades are history now.

>>1659837
Whose talking about politics? Where does /pol/ shit fit into any of this? Dude are you really this stupid?

>>1659851
So you are cherrypicking? Why are you still in my thread?

>>1659851
>>1659837
Also explain how any of this is /pol/, my mentally disabled shitposter. I'm waiting for that too.

>>1659855
>Where does /pol/ shit fit into any of this?
3. Discussions about politics and current events should be posted on /pol/.

>Why are you still in my thread?
Why is your thread still on /his/?

>>1659862
What political discussion is there besides you throwing shit saying "go back to /pol/"? That isn't an argument, retard.

>Why is your thread still on /his/?
Because its /his/ related.

>>1659855
>>1659859
Feel free to take it to /new/ or /trav/ or even /int/.
Or take it to actual /b/ instead of treating every board like it's /b/.

>hey guyz let's talk about literally anything, it's /his/ related because it did not literally come into existence just now

>>1659862
>3. Discussion about politics and current events should be posted on /pol/.
What about political discussion has there been in this thread? You're just inventing bullshit for the sake of it to shitpost further. Again: are you some kind of mental invalid? Mentally disabled? Do you lack cognitive functions? Who ever brought up /pol/ shit besides you strawmaning with your shitposts?

>>1659866
Feel free to kill yourself. Or go back to /int/ or /pol/ since you are clearly one of their immigrants in the first place. Also (you) are still fooling no one here.

>>1659792
The Cincinnati Reds have been around since 1881. Can I talk about tonight's Reds game on /his/? Or maybe speculate about their fate for this offseason?

It's humanities

Not board related. Fuck off.

>>1659877
>>1659885
>What are the humanities?
>The humanities can be described as the study of how people process and document the human experience. Since humans have been able, we have used philosophy, literature, religion, art, music, history and language to understand and record our world. These modes of expression have become some of the subjects that traditionally fall under the humanities umbrella. Knowledge of these records of human experience gives us the opportunity to feel a sense of connection to those who have come before us, as well as to our contemporaries.

>>1659885
Fuck off.

Humanities was a mistake letting kiddies turn /his/ into their autists' club.
Hirohito you fucked up.

IT'S AN ISLAND A FUCKING ISLAND ISLAND IS NOT HISTORY ISLAND IS NOT HUMANITIES TAKE THIS SHIT TO /TRV/ /INT/ /POL/ /NEWS/ /CK/ /K/ /V/ /MLP/

>>1659901
Fuck off.

Hey guys, I just took a shit right now. Can we talk about my shit? It looks like Stalin's mustache.

>>1659901
>island communities don't have history

How many of them still speak with that accent anyways? Sounds kind of West Country English (England) to me.

>Hi, History & Humanities. What do you think about these current events?

>>1659901
I guess we can safely ignore the history of the British Isles, Japan, Falklands, Faroe Islands, Hawaii, Taiwan, and so on. Neat.

>>1659913
>How many of them still speak with that accent anyways? Sounds kind of West Country English (England) to me.
I don't know, but I can tell you right now if it's about what people speak now, that shit ain't history.
Maybe you should fuck off to another board with this thread?

>tfw ignoring all of his posts
Feels good.

>>1659915
Do you love Japan?

>>1659723
WHAT EVENT FROM 25 YEARS AGO ARE YOU REFERRING TO OP?

>>1659916
How many times were you dropped on the head as baby by your parents?

>>1659923
Erosion of Tangier has been documented since the 1920s, retard.

Why are you so dumb?

I think everyone knows its one guy doing it at this point.

What event from the 1920s did you refer to in the op, you dumb faggot?
Take this shit to /lgbt/.

Since Hirohito was around for the war, Metathreads are /his/ related.

Don't bother replying, I'll just filter out your posts.
