Samson Option: Will Arab countries take retribution on Israel?
Samson Option: Will Arab countries take retribution on Israel?

GammaGlobulin · 1 hour ago1 hr

Dear Folks, People who know me have always considered me to be quite a Casssandra. I like to think of myself as the modern-day Kassandra of the unbiased kind. I have no need to read tea leaves or oracle bones because, in fact, it is within my own bones that I feel the future. Some believe that women have this SIXTH SENSE of intuition and premonition about future events which men are unable to comprehend. I have found that the feminine side of me, though I be, indeed, merely a man, also reta

Comparing Israel to the Nazis is only a matter of scale

unblocktheplanet · 7 minutes ago7 min

I have been criticised on this forum for my post “The Purge” as antisemitic. I don’t take that lightly as it is a baseless lie. I express my opinions freely and they are fervently anti-Israeli. We should all seek to right the wrongs of this world no matter who is making them. We as humans have a right to speak out again injustice, and worse. Injustice is not religion. Comparing Netanyahu to the leader of the Nazi regime is accurate. Netanyahu should be ashamed to call himself a Jew. Comparing I

Don’t make fun of anybody’s religion… they might be right! The Nation of Islam worldview was dominated by an apocalyptic and prophetic vision which held that the African American, the "original" or "Asiatic" black man, fell into a state of social domination that began with slavery.'1 This situation was a direct result of the machinations of an evil black scientist, Yakub, who grafted white people, also known as "devils," from original black people a little more than 6,000 years ago. There had

Antisemitism…is all of us
Antisemitism…is all of us

unblocktheplanet · Friday at 05:36 AM4 days

For me, the conversations we’ve been having here on racism and, more particularly, antisemitism have been very instructive. I’ve learned a lot by talking with all of you. Most of us are familiar with the story of the good German, the ordinary person who followed orders, no matter how far against morality or humanity they went. Eichmann’s defence at Nuremburg was, “I was only following orders.” They hanged him anyway. You see, that’s not good enough. We all like to think of ourselves as better

Doctors in Thailand - Approach with some caution
Doctors in Thailand - Approach with some caution

ronnie50 · yesterday at 03:42 AM1 day

By and large medical care at Thailand's private hospitals is pretty good. But one thing I've observed through the years of visiting doctors in big private hospitals here is that many/most are not very thorough in asking questions about the patient's medical history. They are often quick to arrive at a current diagnosis, write a prescription, and a return appointment again in 2 weeks. When I say 'not very thorough' - I mean they don't ask you (enough) about your medical past or any other medica

Price of sleeping tablets

CallumWK · 2 hours ago2 hr

For a long time already I suffer from sleeping disorders, as in I wake up many times a night, and actually never have a solid sleep. I have tried natural sleeping aids like 12mg Melatonin, but they don't have any effect. Sleeping tablets like Diazepam work perfect, and I sleep until the alarm goes off, as intended. I have no side effects from them. I had 8 tablets of them left, which actually were expired for 15 YEARS already, and I have taken them with good results in the last 6 months. So now

Good dental treatment and DTV : advices and experiences welcome
Good dental treatment and DTV : advices and experiences welcome

anotherfarangishere · 5 hours ago5 hr

Hi everyone, I have many cavities, and since I lost a tooth a year ago, I also need an implant. From what I’ve read, there is no issue obtaining a DTV as long as you have an official letter detailing the dental treatments to be carried out, especially when applying through the Thai embassy in Hanoi. I already have contacts at dental clinics in Bangkok, where I live, that are well aware of the visa issue — BIDC, Thantakit — but since these are real “gas factories,” I’m looking for alternatives
