    Is anyone surprised?  I wonder how long until a false flag swiftly followed by boots on the ground?  Resurgence of ISIS by the end of the year?

     

    But Trump's the bad guy, right?  Lol.

    I'm not surprised, no. Well, I don't think it's that simple with regards to the Trump's the bad guy comment. But yeah, Trump, although he didn't stop the wars & support, they didn't escalate very much with him. Well, he did kill that important Iranian. I'd like to mention that Trump did continue to withdraw from missile treaties.

     

    I standby to be corrected.

    Just don't leave a bad review. They might throw you out of the emergency hatch.

    I do not understand. Are you asking us to forgive a murdering cop? Before he has even been judged by a court? After injuring, then slaughtering an innocent man, who was only trying to support his family? Why on earth would we do that? I absolutely love the death penalty, when applied to murder, or other equally horrendous crimes, and there is no shadow of a doubt that the person charged, was guilty, and there are eye witnesses to the crime, or solid evidence. My only complaint about the death penalty, is that it usually takes too long to carry out. I say do it within 30 days, with no chance of appeal. Cruel? Maybe. But, was the murder of the innocent cruel? And is supporting this man in jail, only to have him released early, cruel to society? 

     

    Yes, a bit of an eye for an eye. Society could use more of that, and less forgiveness of heinous crimes. 

    We can agree to disagree and in a constructive way of course. To be so passionate about the death penalty so much as to say "I absolutely love the death penalty, when applied to murder, or other equally...;" is something I could never be nor advocate for. I suppose if we were together having a chat, I'd bring up the comparison of your religious upbringing or current beliefs with this view. Just out curiosity.

     

    Lastly, was your opening questions aimed (555) at the Bangla cop? The victim was not murdered. I think such an opening response is dramatic and over the top if it was.

    Tell that to the Kurds, and Christian and other minorities in Syria.

     

    Israel is a nation subject to the  openly stated threat of being wiped off the map:

    I can think of no other nation facing such a threat.

     

    Getting in a preemptive claim that you are not anti Semitic is not a barrier to others rightly judging for themselves what you have to say in your posts.

     

     

    I seriously view this as not only cliche but pathetic.

    Now where are the liberals dissing the Koreans for wealth inequality and caddy lives matter? The difference from The 2.49 million won ($2,240) and a regular quarantine could be going to help the poor Thais not some fancy fat cat golf course. Ignore the rest of this I have said enough.

    I get your point. But it's as though you have an issue with people being outspoken about the poor or disadvantaged? And that only those that do are liberals?

     

    But I do also get how liberals focus on appearance of being PC without much improvements in policy.

    I firmly believe that in this life, there are certain acts which define the rest of your life, and essentially represent a self-revocation of the right to consume oxygen. It appears that this creep crossed that line, by shooting an innocent, hard working bystander, out of petty rage, and an extremely undeveloped emotional nature. 

     

    The officer had gotten into an altercation just before dawn yesterday and shot a young vendor who was walking by. Surveillance camera footage show the 25 year old suddenly falling to the ground after being shot. The officer walks up and shoots the vendor at a close range, but it appears the second shot did not hit the vendor. The officer also slapped the vendor in the face, picked him up and shoved him over, and then kicked him as he lay on the ground. The vendor has a 4 year old daughter and 3 month old son. His wife says normally he works as a motorbike driver, but he was helping his mother selling noodles. He was shot while he was walking back from collecting a noodle bowl, she says.

    Though thoughtful and I am appreciative of your point, I too strongly condemn such behavior. But what about forgiveness? I noticed in your first sentence it is as though one should die? Is that implying a sort of 'eye for an eye' type reaction? I think the death penalty should be abolished and not used. Just my opinion.

  7. I was talking to a guy about the PC game Football Manager. It seems quality but apparently they have made match-ups so the very best of players can at times loose to poor players regardless of skill.

     

    I'm on the edge of getting into football again as I was once in a fantasy league but I suppose it would be more fun with money on it! Sorry if this post is a bit of tangent.

    Nope, I live 60 miles from the USA and can say we were horrified by the Americans lax approach dealing with the COVID. Our politicians made mistakes and we have our share of Freedumbers and Covidiots but overall we pretty much stuck with what the experts recommended. We also have socialized healthcare which is better equipped to deal with such a crisis. As a result our death rate per cap is much, much lower. As for the UK Boris played down the virus untill he caught it himself. By that time it was running wild. 

    Yeah it seems for the most part Americans now a days think this is how it is and there isn't any better as far as demanding more from the government and comparing our social institutions to other developed countries. Especially boomers who live in nice suburbs. I'm talking about the, PMC or professional managerial class.

     

    In Canada you have been getting relief checks or cash deposits since the beginning right? Alongside socialized healthcare, yeah. And in the States they not only BS about relief payments it's hardly anything at all when it did come through. All while there is no socialized healthcare.

     

    I blame the media and the corporate coup d'état that many haven't grasped yet.

    The Trump Pandemic will be over shortly. As for Trump 2024, he will be either dead or in jail. A morbidly obese 78 year old in 2024 living on a diet of junk food...

    I'm with ya. But the thing is he opened the door for nut job corporate fascists and their 'unhinged' conspiracies. If Trump survives his case in NY which his taxes have just been disclosed fully, he may split the Republican Party.

    Out last two recruited farang teachers - one was a female alcoholic, who was teaching out M6 how to order a coffee. Another was paranoid (would not let his face be taken is school photos), and spelt worse than M3. The school has snice given up and got Philipino teachers, and they are working out quite well. 95% of the staff are now non-native speakers. 

    You should have helped the falangs out with advice or friendship. You know rather than, deciding to go with Filipinos...nice one..not.

     

    Personally, and I say this with respect, Filipinos are not nice to work with, especially if you make more money then them. Not to mention their real clicky/groupie work culture and tendency to be petty. Only being objective. ???? Oh, their English makes me cringe when that accent comes out..

     

    Cheers!
