  1. I do feel bad for the average Ukrainian who is simply trying to live and get by. Nothing that they can do to stop this war. My guess is if they try to leave, they face serious challenges especially if they travel east or south. Second, war tends to deplete your resources so probably can't afford much and it takes money to travel.
  2. Was it specifically planned? Nah this is what I am talking about. Ok, so we are in agreement. I once led a nonprofit and this idea that folks work in concert and plan their actions is from my experience not realistic. Had 60 people under my watch and I would have loved for them to work perfectly in concert but no.. did not happen.
  3. https://www.weforum.org/stories/2016/05/what-can-africa-learn-from-rwandas-self-reliance/
  4. The other poster is doubting that liberals on this site are random. They chose to create this thread now because Trump is in office but yet chose not to create threads like this when Biden was in office. My view is that it is fairly random. Why it comes up now and not 6 months ago when Biden was in office... not like there was not other topics to debate. Yes, they could not drive as much, fly as much, and so on. Lots of folks could change their ways. And even then... not sure that they would get what they want in the short term. In my view.. its a lot of Chicken Litte.. the sky is falling, the sky is falling.
  5. One person does not correct climate change. Before you blast away.. I am not AGW alarmist. So whether you believe in this or not.. you surely can realize that one person on their own does not change this.
  6. I was 100% wrong about this one. I predicted a close KC win that would have lots of penalties. Well... whiff on that one. I will not say that Philadelphia repeats. their roster is stacked for sure. So was Seattle's after destroying Peyton Manning in the Super Bowl 43-8. And yet that Seattle team never won another one. Its really hard to win a Super Bowl.
  7. randomness.. Relatively small group of contributors and why they make a thread on Day X... not sure you can pinpoint an exact reason.
  8. I dont know the particulars but likely they can't just be laid off. For example, once you get to the 5-year mark with this state government.. it is a matter of law if they try to fire you without cause. Hence, why folks stay in their positions for 25 years.
  9. I read plenty of stories like this.. they just did not appear on this forum. https://www.noaa.gov/news/2022-was-worlds-6th-warmest-year-on-record
  10. Anyways, some of the nations on the African continent are starting to come around to the idea of self sufficiency.
  11. I was not born when they first landed on the moon so how could I be proud of this? Again.. good for you. I as a person find it hollow and meaningless to be proud of things that I have no control over. You are apparently are and that is fine. Not sure how repeating ourselves is of any value.
  12. Good for you.. I am not proud of things that I have zero control over.
  13. we are obviously not talking about the same play. it happens. They do get calls wrong even if after watching the replay...It does happen.
  14. sticking to the topic.. warmer temps do not help in my neck of the woods. However, humans adapt and move on.
  15. I find both silly.. To be proud of something that you have 0% control over is hollow. However, in terms of free speech, feel free to celebrate ___ history month.
  16. title of the thread is fear-pain-and-hunger-the-dire-impact-of-us-funding-cuts-in-africa.. Guatemala is not on the African continent.
  17. It was clear to most who can watch a replay. However, they get stuff wrong even when it is clear. The non-call in the LAR-NO NFC championship game..... was crystal clear. Yet they missed that one. The defender made contact a full second before the ball arrived.
  18. Upon review, it was clear. However, they still get them wrong even when it is rather clear (Kordell Stewart or non-call in LAR vs. NO Saints NFC Championship game, Tee higgins in Super bowl vs LAR. )
  19. Maybe.. just maybe those nations in Africa should try to help themselves more.
  20. Can't have his cake and eat it too. He is not the first president to run a deficit. I am ok with his ideas about severely downsizing the Dept of Ed. Yes, folks would lose jobs and that would crank up the unemployment rate.. it happens.
