If 70% of girls in Thailand were molested in school by the time they are 18, not a father, much less a mother, in Thailand would put their daughters in school.

Rediculous. Without an opinion, you have no idea when someone might be blowing smoke. If you told me your pickup got 10km to the liter, I would believe that. If you told me your pickup got 100km to the liter, I would not believe that. I would not call you a liar, but I would ask you to support your claim. So, when I see your claim that 70% of girls are molested in school before they are 18 (as I understand molestation) I do not believe you. I did not call you a liar, but I did ask you to support your claim. You refused to support or rescind your claim, now I know what you are.

So, you made it up, that's what I thought. You throw out ridiculous numbers, claim you can substantiate them, and then attack people as fools when they ask you to do so.

The question was: "What percentage of young children in the US do you think believed in Santa Clause 60 years ago, what do you think that percentage is today?" Right or wrong, 85% does not answer the question. Why would you not state your opinion?

Please verify your claim that 70% of girls in Thailand are molested in schools before they turn 18, and that that 12% of girls in the United Stated are molested in schools before they turn 18. And please define "molested" as it pertains to your claim.

I asked: "What percentage of young children in the US do you think believed in Santa Clause 60 years ago, what do you think that percentage is today?" You, not knowing, for whatever reason, posted a useless link to something you did not read, that likely does not answer the question, and if it does answer the question, the answer will be wrong at best, and more likely a lie. It was a rhetorical question.

And yet another post that lacks any sort of substance, just jumping in to attack someone. That the left (not you of course, you're not a leftist) wants to complain and nitpick every Trump appointee, after not giving a whit about the people Biden appointed is fine. That they (the left, not you of course, you're not a leftist) want to call foul and claim Biden appointments are off topic is ridiculous.

No import duty

And therein lies the rub.

So, you don't know.

My family was insured here for over twenty years. First by Heath Net, then by Cigna and finally by Blue Cross Blue Shield. I never got anything pre-approved. I paid for the service, and filed the claim, and I got reimbursed. A few times claims were denied, I contested the denial, and every claim was ultimately approved. Supplements were not covered, but they would sometimes be approved anyway. They used to nitpick my annual physical and say some of the things were not covered, and only partially reimburse. Resubmit explaining it was a package, and it was approved. I had twenty years of medical, including a rotator cuff and two knee replacements. If you don't ask, the answer is no.

Yeah, it used to really sound odd when I would hear happy Christmas. Here's wishing you and yours's a Merry Christmas, and a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year!

I have to agree,,

I'm sorry, but you've tipped your hand. It's never been "happy" Christmas in the US...

And you two whining and moaning to each other, about each other. Don't take yourselves so seriously.

What percentage of young children in the US do you think believed in Santa Clause 60 years ago, what do you think that percentage is today?

It was a melting pot, it is now a salad bowl.

And if you try to show someone how nice the view is out of your window, you're a braggart.

Hmm, I seem to recall Obama saying (and I am paraphrasing) that the US was only great in the same way that the Irish think of Ireland as great and that it really not that special, and that it was his job to manage the decline.

So, your answer to my question: "Where does the Constitution outline what due process an illegal immigrant is entitled to?" should have been, "I don't know, and I don't know that it does." Illegals have the same due process as citizens in criminal courts, not in immigration courts. If an illegal alien were truly entitled to due process, it they stepped across the border, they could not just be turned around told to step back.

Oh yeah.

Jeeze, the hate and envy just seem to drip from you.

Of course, pre-Trump, everyone was assimilating

If it can be "streamlined", it is not the same.

The Californios that were a result of the Spanish invasion, yes?
