  1. and a contender who openly admits to wanting to be a dictator.
  2. Whatever, he certainly seems to be an avid reader if a little short sighted from the way he is holding that page to his face.
  3. You have to have watched 'Fawlty Towers' to understand that one
  4. and yet 45% of Americans would vote for him......something seriously wrong with uncle Sam.
  5. but his white house staff say he has the attention span of a 6 year old so I rather believe he was intensely sleeping.
  6. I've been intensely reading about Buddha and his deep philosophical teachings lately, nowhere have I come across such rubbish in his discourses, this 'monk' doesn't know his Buddha from his Mickey mouse. It would seem it is enough to put on a saffron robe and call yourself a monk without ever studying his work. His brilliant teachings on 'non-self' and the 'world is empty' sound counter intuitive if one goes by the title alone. He didn't seem to have a spiritual message as such, certainly no beliefs in magic, his aim was to relieve suffering in mankind in the here and now by teaching how to live in a correct manner. Over 2,500 years much has been added to his teachings as they were only written down 400 years after his death having been passed down orally, his rejection of an Atman or soul would indicate a denial of reincarnation although he did consider rebirth, the distinction he showed by lighting a new candle from a dying one, the flame (life) is passed on but the new candle (person) is entirely different. No religions or philosophical teachings improve with time, the true message gets lost and buried, see Christianity as an example, Jesus was a Jew and Jews don't believe in heaven or hell.
  7. They let him off with the pork sausage he was munching.
  8. for not respecting diversity perversity, there, sorted it for you
  9. That wasn't very woke of you, you'll have a bunch of snowflakes threatening you with wine gums at 10 paces.
  10. and those men who admire the feminin traits long missing in western women.
  11. Apparently not.....the US is a political banana republic, 2 senile men, one a deranged fascist criminal who can apparently command 45% of the vote, that doesn't say a lot for the maturity of the American public
  12. A German saying, 'He who has the damage doesn't need to supply the derision.
  13. I think the judge has been rather clever, Trump was calculating a few days in jail to increase his status as a martyr as he isn't getting any public support from his maga crazies, a fine and a warning will put paid to that calculation if he is later eventually jailed.
  14. Not if you try the legal route, she has zero chance of getting UK citizenship especially when the authorities find out about the police investigation.
  15. The strange thing I have noticed on every flight I have taken is that no sooner is the aircraft airborne than a lot of people want to use the toilet, a line forms outside every toilet, they can't go in the airport, it has to be on the plane, maybe they just want their money's worth.
  16. In America I believe it's 3 strikes and you're out, he had 21 strikes, sooner or later enough is enough.
