  1. Taiwan (Taipei) is a weird remnant of the Cold War. It is part of China - like the Anticosti Island is part of Quebec.
  2. When I was in Crimea, everyone identified as Russian. They covered their licence plates. From Quebec to Ontario. Imagine Anglos in DDO doing such. === There is a difference between Taiwan and China. Taiwan is like Singapore.
  3. Truman confronted the Communists. Eisenhower. JFK. LBJ, Nixon - .ordinary guys in Vietnam. NATO. SEATO. Ultimately, Reagan won. The Berlin Wall is no more. Deng. Singapore. The world - people - are now free to trade. ====, Since Gorbachov, 1990s, we live in a different world. You Americans now live in a multi-polar world.
  4. We various Canadians have avoided civil wars - because we have counterweights - we get along.
  5. Disdain? Some tattoos are a sign of identity. I recall the women (Berbers) in Algeria. This is a choice - like circumcision. ===== I cannot change the colour of my skin. When I speak, I have an accent.
  6. I agree with RB. I never heard such specific comments. Of course, I recall various comments about girls and boys and their various sizes. ===== I have lived in different places. It seems to me that illiterate people are more connected to the physical.
  7. Gia Scala (not the woman in the bra) later played in The Guns of Navarone.
  8. 1. Confusing, convoluted story - like a bad Coen brothers movie. At a certain point, you ask yourself: why bother. 2 The women's hair. There are two key women in this movie and each have distinct hair-styles. 3. Richard Conte. Badly used in this vehicle.
  9. Lee J, Cobb goes from one side to another. Not a noir, but you see a women with a 1950s bra. 1950s leftist tripe.
  10. I see many now - it is autumn. With Trump, I suspect that I will see more - fleeing abroad. Canada is a cold place, Few will stay here.
  11. Google: Kimberley Guilfoyle
  12. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECXzXtzuxGg I am August1991 and I approve this rant.
  13. Barack Obama described life as success/failure. For most, as he said, it is private. Politics? The story is public.
  14. Ambitious. I knew people like her too.
  15. I remember Trudeau Sr saying that fish swim.
  16. I have been to both. We live in a new world.
  17. Albertans hate snobbish people from southern Ontario. Everyone laughs at Newfies. ==== We get along.
  18. In many ways, the Lemberg of 1910 was like my Montreal today. We Canadians get along. It can be done. We do it.
  19. Win some, lose some. ==== Between 2020 and 2024, the Dems lost 15 million votes. How? ===== I still predict Schiff is a mover-shaker.
  20. Huh? I recently transited through Doha. Weirdest 24/7 shopping mall.
  21. Civilised Europe collapsed in 1914. Why?
  22. I recently wondered about what portion of the world's population can take a derivative. It is like a statistic: world literacy. (Then leftist Americans wonder: how many wonen.... ) ===== Leibniz and Newton, some 400 years ago, figured out how to describe a changing slope. In the 1600s, they were only two guys. Then several. Nowadays, how many people can take a derivative? I reckon that 5% (1 in 20) of the world's population can take a derivative. Of course, many more can read this text - billions.
  23. CdnFox. To me, this forum is a place where I stop by, respond to others, post a few comments. It is a local bar - with better or worse, a bartender with a good memory.
  24. I see men moving on.
