So, 12 million not so smart people that put themselves in too deep in loans as well as too high bills. Let´s just hope that´s not the smartest part of the country´s population. If so, there is no possible way to save the sinking ship. At least could have stayed in EU and given their citizens the possibility of free movements and work in other member states.

Sure, because no one in the 27 member states ever extends themselves, lives on credit and runs into financial issues when things like a totally unexpected pandemic hits out of the blue; or a financial meltdown.

No sir, all the EU member states are financially sound, prudent and have no debts. Just like Greece, Italy, Spain, Ireland, etc etc etc.

Why I came to Thailand, bloody cheap here. My only debts are my SO's debts, and that's up to her. I can walk away, anytime. I'm considering marrying her, just so she gets the pension. It's all a matter of timing, like too soon and I will inherit her debts, too late and she won't get much. 

You romantic old dog you! ????

Having seen the way the first debate was marred by Trumps continuous interruptions, which was completely unstatesmanlike, I have to applaud the decision. People should have the right to listen fully to both parties comments, without having them interrupted half way through if the other side doesn't like what it is hearing.

Intelligent people should be able to hold such a debate with dignity and manners, as well as offering their viewpoints.

 

Totally agree. It's also important that they find moderators that can act with complete impartiality and treat both candidates the same. If they can find them.

IS, must be the pride of the muslim religion. If not, then I would like to see the real muslims take care of their own problem.

Have a guess who was fighting mostly with IS when they tried to establish their own country?

Search my post history. I predicted end of last week that Boris would backpedal on his deadline. He’s a clown, and clowns are bad at bluffing. 

Whereas you believe Macron to be a serious heavy weight political genius no doubt.

A french banker bluffed is way into the President's job and lords it up over France with his opulence and now appoints himself godfather of Lebanon. 

Sorry, but repeatedly saying "Non, non, non," isn't negotiating. More like trait of French Presidents who just want their own way like a spoilt child.

As I predicted. The talks continue.  Another imaginary deadline Boris backpedals on. 

Like Macron said, a deal but not at any price. Same for the UK as for the EU.

Either both change or it will be no deal. 

Neither want that.

Sure. Hard disks that came by way of Steve Bannon and Rudolph Giuliani. The data of which Giuliani refuses to release to independent investigators.. Articles by a co-reporter who worked as a producer for Sean Hannity for over 3 years, who has no experience as an investigative reporter, and did absolutely no independent investigation of the validity of the data. It is to laugh.

Sounds like they learned a bit from Mr. Schiff and his cohorts.

Btw - how come Joe and his campaign management aren't denying it? Even contradicting one another. 

I remember, at the height of the Russian Hoax investigations led by the vocal Mr. Schiff. many many Democrat supporters on here were saying "no smoke without fire" even when there was no real evidence.

So guess what, with Biden corruption - no smoke without fire!

Good job the VP candidate has a spotless, blemish free past ????

Flying into rages and attacking guards is asking for an ass kicking, behave yourself and show some respect to the officers and nothing is likely to happen, same as when being arrested.

I would agree with you - apart from the fact that many who do this are suffering mental health issues, aren't necessarily in control of their mind and actions, may be paranoid and may have lost contact with reality.

Locking them up and then beating them to death when they respond oddly really isn't a sensible course of action.

“Early voting began in Louisiana on Friday, following record turnout this week in the competitive states of Georgia, North Carolina and Texas.“

 

High turnout is always good news for the Democrats.

 

High turnout for early voting in States where Republican administrations have done all they can to deter voting within ‘Democrat supporting’ counties is super good news.

Can you provide links to the reports of Republican administrations doing all they can to deter voting within Democrat supporting counties please?

I am rather perplexed with these announcements, seems contradictory. 

Or does that mean that no one care about what Mr. Johnson is saying,

and negotiations goes simply on. 

Not really. You have to read between the lines. The "big cheeses" are each saying the other side must give way, but not themselves of course. Macron wants to bully the UK and Johnson is having none of it and is now saying don't bother coming for more talks...................... unless you change your tune.

Barnier and Frost know that they better plan to meet next week as it's possible either of their bosses will give them new instructions.

Letting French fishermen plunder the UK waters, having Germany dictate what tax regimes it must implement and how its businesses must be regulated is clearly never gonna be acceptable. Or would France and Germany accept the UK dictating to them? The UK has already offered a fishing deal much the same as Norway has with the EU. Only Macron daren't move from his position. The UK will not bow to EU law. Which interestingly German Courts have ruled recently doesn't overrule Germany law; or have France, the biggest cheats in the EU on state aid, deciding what the UK can and can't do with its businesses.

Both sides need to get real or walk away. Johnson has that right at least.

Critical thinking?

 

If the unfortunate teacher either didn't consider or chose to ignore that he had muslim children in the class who may have been offended, he wasn't exercising ANY critical thinking.

 

There's a plethora of ways of teaching examples of 'freedom of speech' and not all of them require cartoons of someone else's chosen deity.

Actually, the teacher, according to the BBC, did warn the children what he was going to show. He asked Muslims to raise a hand and then, having explained to them what he would show, and why it was important to show it, whether they wanted to leave. He respected their right. Muslim radicals did not respect his right, nor the law.

Islam is not protected more than any other ideology. It and it's followers are not above the law. They do not have the right to murder or commit violence if they don't like someone else's views.

Why is it these people flock to the West and not to other Muslim countries?

Because other Muslim countries, the richer better educated ones, know exactly what the one from poorer, low educated more radical ones are like. 

They don't want them and won't have them in.
