  1. If Xi says no then it wont happen.
  2. Islam with a touch of Jesus? Blessed are the peacemakers pastor....Musk will hang himself as acting president, Trump wants that job.
  3. High personal debt, lower living standards, increasing homelessness, rising unemployment, poverty on the rise, the collapsing American empire causing an egoic loss of being number one in the world (see 'make America great again') Trump promises to turn the clock back, this simplistic message was easy to understand and found favour with a large portion of the populace whose earlier high standard of living (the American dream) was fueled by having the world's reserve currency allowing their standard of living to be paid for by the rest of the world. The rise of Europe, China, India, the formation of BRICS and the exporting of American production to S.E. Asia is a harbinger of Americas downfall, the continuation of rolling over its huge debt to the rest of the world is being called into question. Nobody takes American bullying seriously anymore. A good example of how poorly thought out Trumps 'imperialist' tariffs are is China now banning exports of tungsten to the USA as an answer to Trumps tariffs on China, China produces 90% of the worlds tungsten, America produces none, tungsten is needed in a myriad of industries from metal to electronics. Canada sells vast amounts of LNG cheaply to the US which then gets sold on for a higher price to Europe and Japan, Canada now, due to America's bellicose statements (51st state) and sanctions, realizes it can sell directly to Europe and Japan for a higher price than to America but still cheaper than America can supply to the world. These are just two examples of how America is shooting it's feet off. USAID reduction now allows China to woo African and Asian countries into its sphere of influence. Trump is accelerating America's demise.
  4. It's up to the British people to ignore the fad, they can't arrest us all. The waste of money concerning gay and trans promotion should be a matter for the courts, the opposition isn't working well, possibly because they have their own ideological skeletons packed away from view. The crazy ideology being pushed forward by intellectuals doesn't concern the vast majority of the public although it should do. The British way of dealing with such travesties of common sense was to use humour and hold it up to ridicule but the powerful vocal view have managed to curtail freedom of speech to the extent that only giants of comedy like Ricky Gervaise can risk attacking this dangerous movement. Fortunately stupidity doesn't have much staying power, there is no public consensus and the backlash will eventually come.
  5. They all say they're Irish from waaaaay back but then something unpleasant happened to them.
  6. They'll be getting their just deserts now. They even look wicked.
  7. The tourists will be a bit disappointed if they don't get to see any wild roaming dinosaurs.
  8. 'Phineas Float' sounds like a name Rowling could have used in the ministry of magic.
  9. I don't know about heartbeat these days, I think mine winces a little bit.
  10. and they need all the brain function they can get.
  11. No, it's the English language although that may be an alien concept to you.
  12. The word alien has several meanings, one being, coming from a different country.
  13. It's about logic, a truck is a truck not a sports car, getting a new paint job and stripes with fancy wheels won't make me call it a Porsche even if some indulgent souls will bend the English language to accommodate the fantasy.
  14. Somehow I feel I should give a $hit.....but I don't.
  15. A little bit dystopian but there is no defense against stupidity
  16. Nature is pragmatic, it doesn't raise one species over another, one could say it's a very effective adjustment mechanism, one species fails another rises to take its place. What we call evolution is in fact just an adjustment to the prevailing environment at the time, there is nothing special about Homo Sapiens.
  17. What does a 'suspicious Frenchman' look like?
