Then you should do what is called for, including what America itself is begging for: ignore them.

Yes, but will they persist in their separate sphere of influence? The American political sphere decides internally what victory and defeat means. The material reality of the world outside is different than perceived achievements and sometimes doesn't matter. As with Afghanistan, nobody talks about American failure in America as much as they talk about failure of their politics opponents. That's my guess, anyway, as an outsider.

People calling their political adversaries fags... That's where we are now. 😐

'Cause I live and breathe this Philadelphia freedom From the day that I was born I've waved the flag Philadelphia freedom took me knee high to a man, yeah Gave me a piece of mind my daddy never had Oh Philadelphia freedom, shine on me, I love you

What I love about this is you have accused me of the past of always jumping on this topic when it comes up. I read about the decision and had no comment on that... Then I read your post saying that leftists WOULD NOT post on this topic ! This is known as "damned if you do, damned if you don't" Textbook case. Carry on tickling my ribs... I do appreciate it

I don't think that's happening. Otherwise, wouldn't we have clear indications of what is on the table?

They can't claim that it's crazies supporting him at least.

You're a bummer. Look at it this way.... They invented writing, math and money and solved a bunch of material subsistence issues... 5000 years ago. We're due to find a way to solve spiritual issues soon ❤️

1. I bet you never thought you'd be using a global super computing Network to yell at strangers that vaccines work 😂 2. The decline of religion, massive interconnectedness between cultures, the decline of work, depopulation.... Really, this is only going to go one way. If you ever saw the h.g Wells time machine adaptation from the 1960s, they kind of nailed the future: beautiful young people lying around beside streams doing nothing.

1. First of all we're not doomed. For one thing, population decline is going to fix a lot of what is wrong with the world. 2. 3. Metaphors, mixed... but sure. 4. The laziest and worst ones are our age, IMO. The young folks I know will be better off when we are gone IMO. Of course, the chuds will post a picture of a trans gal with blue hair as evidence that I'm crazy... the chud will be gone too. 5. That means we'll be naked and cold when the water runs out... like Adam & Eve. And starting over will be easier. Like.. 4 day work weeks, digital money that expires if you don't invest it, space station spas... don't get me started...

Ok. I tip my hat to you then ❤️

1. Cite please 😆 2. Maybe I do. If so, ask for a cite If I don't, bad on me. But you don't have to PROVIDE one, as per the note you have to be PREPARED TO BACK IT UP if challenged. Instead of saying "Does your mama wipe you..." 3. Your hypocrisy meter is broken. You ascribe all kinds of wild things to me, it's a strange thing. Do you still think Lake Erie is owned by Canada or did you withdraw that one ? I bring it up because I don't remember the ending, and it was particularly funny.

I just saw your post and responded - what's wrong with that ? I don't often see people saying that they don't have to back up what they say. It's kind of an anti-discussion position, another way to have people talking at each other, IMO

Heads up @Goddess From the site RULES RESEARCH YOUR POST If you are stating a fact, be prepared to back it up with some official sources (websites, links etc). It is also important to structure your post in a way that everyone can understand. That means writing complete sentences and paragraphs with the appropriate grammar. If for some reason, you enjoy writing long confusing sentences and paragraphs riddled with poor grammar and spelling mistakes, your post, and therefore your opinions, will likely be discarded. Therefore, it is in your best interest to make sure that your post includes sufficient sources and contains a well-researched and well-organized argument.

1. My last 20 years has been a long slow dawning about how easy it is to get people to suck up nonsense if you package it correctly. I'm past concerned - we are doomed if we don't find a way to deal with this. BUT.... it's a different matter when serious institutions, which I stand by, fall into subjective moralizing or whatever we want to call this. Objectivity is like gold these days and we need objective institutions to keep trying, because they might help us climb out of this. 2. Sure, but Las Vegas presumably has schools too. 3. We have far better intoxicants now. I can eat a dark chocolate edible and enjoy my Lawrence Welk shows more.

Too bad this drifted into anti-Vax discussion domain. There is real concern about free speech here. I think liberals (small l) everywhere should be concerned.

If the Strait stays closed for months... THEN can we say it was a failure ? Or no ?

Chats? 🤔 Chats... 😐 Chats...

Well that's good to hear but the word hate should not have been used. Also ironic that people on here are decrying the use of that word while calling the NDP vile, a disease, a blight etc. There are a lot of pots on here. Criticizing kettles.

With the end of the World war in 1945, the globe set forward a new order that included: Decolonization Establishment of the UN Foundations of Cold War Absolute American hegemony It was completely understandable that the world would establish new norms, including humanistic edicts against genocide, bombing of civilians and so forth. The way forward was clear, and optimistic. Some of that included establishment of the first modern Jewish State in a tiny area, historically close to Israel, That had been under British control. Given position of Judaism in the pantheon of world religions, And what they had gone through... It made sense. The challenges and problems we are dealing with today arise from the progress of those decisions 80 some years ago.

No... maybe you didn't hear that that son of a b1tch Van Owen blew off Roland's head...

It has been so long since I looked into this that I forgot what the fake controversies are.

oh WOW look who's back !
