  1. "According to the study, a staggering 67.8% of surveyed students believe that the Koran holds more significance than German laws." that would be upsetting if you cited the study correctly. The study reported "67.8% of Muslim students surveyed believe the Koran trumps German law, while nearly half advocate for Islamic Theocracy." I suppose if you mentioned the surveyed students were all Muslims, might not be so shocking... https://twitter.com/enochscowl/status/1782942385775030746 I am skeptical of news items that refer to "studies" without providing links to the specific study.... This is a link to the "Criminal Research Institute of Lower Saxony" but I don't see any studies remotely similar to what is cited here... maybe someone is willing to dig deeper? Lower Saxony institute mentioned in article
  2. No, look in the bible, old testament. When God gave them the promised land, they had to get rid of the people that had already been living there. According to the Pentateuch (the first five books of the Old Testament), when God called forth his people out of slavery in Egypt and back to the land of their forefathers, he directed them to kill all the Canaanite clans who were living in the land (Deut. 7.1-2; 20.16-18). The destruction was to be complete: every man, woman, and child was to be killed. The book of Joshua tells the story of Israel’s carrying out God’s command in city after city throughout Canaan. Here is Deuteronomy 7, King James version: this sound like Mein Kampf? Actually worse.... "7 When the Lord thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girga<deleted>es, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou; 2 And when the Lord thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them: 3 Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son. 4 For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the Lord be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly. 5 But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire. 6 For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself," Joshua 8: " 24 And it came to pass, when Israel had made an end of slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness wherein they chased them, and when they were all fallen on the edge of the sword, until they were consumed, that all the Israelites returned unto Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sword. 25 And so it was, that all that fell that day, both of men and women, were twelve thousand, even all the men of Ai. 26 For Joshua drew not his hand back, wherewith he stretched out the spear, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai. You may be upset by Palestine "River to the sea", but it is less than what god promised to genocidal Israelis: " 4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast." Jericho, beyond Nazis (Joshua 7-21 "21 And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword." You may argue that was then, this is now: but these are the myths/stories people like Bibi use to guide their actions. Their great glory comes from wiping out non Jews and stealing their land. Refute that!
  3. The solution is quite simple: Thailand needs more tourists and Thailand needs less tourists Problem sorted
  4. People get undies in a knot over "from the river (Jordan) to the sea" which would be their future Palestine. However, it is smaller than what God supposedly promised the Israelis, from Baghdad to Egypt. Much larger than Palestine. And remember OT god wanted Israelis to kill most (genocide) all of the unchosen so they could not "pollute" the chosen people.
  5. I would suggest removing "leftist" from "loons". The Islamic hard core states, like Afghanistan, are anything but liberal or leftist. ISIS, Hamas, etc are all hard core authoritarian rulers much closer to Orban, Trump, Putin than any liberal belief of any sort
  6. RIP How about heat plus abominable low quality of air? Sort of a "one-two" punch?
  7. The number of pro Trump protesters would "fill a sedan" one reporter said Not one family member as shown up in court for the trial. Not one. One analyst remarked "Jeffrey Dahmer's (the cannibal) parents came every day when he was on trial.". Niece Mary Trump remarked everything in that family is transactional, and there is nothing in Donald's trial that is seen as worth attending
  8. The FART team collects evidence, gets it together, and passes it to the Special House Investigative Team (the ones have this team for brains) who bring it to the house floor and leave it there, preferably in a flaming bag
  9. Rule number one from biz school being ignored: "Don't throw good money after bad"
  10. Maybe they should start an international "health hub campaign" with Thaksin as their celeb spokesperson...
  11. "....concerns are growing that loopholes in Thailand’s hazardous waste controls could be fatal.".... but not to the wealthy owners who rake in the profits. Just the unprotected ignorant workers
  12. Maybe she recently viewed The Princess Bride bit with Max the miracle man?
  13. Maybe in honor of Orwell they rebrand it as "Ministry of Truth.... Social" or anti social...
