  1. I suppose they don't rely only on tourism.
  2. I saw Stephen Fry interviewed on Irish television. He really made a few good points. 170507StephenFryRTE_desk.mp4 Maybe go for the Greek gods?
  3. Reading the Bible helped a lot... Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle but also to the cruel. (1 Peter 2:18) If two men are fighting and the wife of one of them comes to rescue her husband from his assailant, and she reaches out and seizes him by his private parts, you shall cut off her hand. Show her no pity. (Deuteronomy 25:11–12) You shall acknowledge no God but me. . . . You are destroyed, Israel. . . . The people of Samaria must bear their guilt, because they have rebelled against their God. They will fall by the sword; their little ones will be dashed to the ground, their pregnant women ripped open. (Hosea 13:4, 9, 16) Thor would never have said any of this.
  4. While I see Odin and Thor are pretty good gods in the films, I know they are fantasy. I see the Christian god as a pretty negative fantasy.
  5. The Swedes could sell Gripens, which are supposed to be good, just without the engines.
  6. I would mention that when North Korea invaded the South, the UN called on forces to repel the invasion. Not a peacekeeping force I agree. But, as you say pretty useless.
  7. Completely off topic. The article is about the border and immigration, not all the other lies he told.
  8. While the ICJ doesn't have a military force, the UN does have international peacekeepers that it has used in the past to separate antagonists. Having said that, I doubt Hamas or Israel would want the fighting stopped.
  9. For a country that has an excessive number of people in debt, lowering the interest rate to encourage more borrowing seems a tad unwise.
  10. Lest we deflect, my comment was about the fact he continuously stressed Mexico would pay, not Americans.
  11. Why do people forget who promised Mexico would pay for a wall? Now border security will be paid for with American tax dollars I guess.
  12. Just like pawn shops the racers should have to pay a sizeable fine and if not their bikes could be sold off in lieu. Not sure if asset seizures are allowed as collateral for fines but makes sense
  13. Thais often live in abject poverty and with very low education. I guess he was the main breadwinner. It doesn't absolve her but most people in the forum forget people sometimes live on 3,000 Baht a month and don't know what to do about legal matters.
  14. Er, what Donald Trump said once while in a freezing NY was, Boy could we use some of that global warming now! What you both forget is global warming is calculated by the average global temperature over about 100 years. Not your fault - a common mistake to confuse weather now and long term temperature.
  15. Why would the owners sell if it can predict lottery numbers? Have they ever won the lottery?
  16. It wasn't sarcasm as it happened in 2016 - not 20 years ago.
  17. You really must not comment without checking Transcripted! https://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/08/us/donald-trump-tape-transcript.html Learn to read before commenting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_Access_Hollywood_tape https://www.vox.com/2016/10/7/13205842/trump-secret-recording-women https://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2016/10/07/donald_trump_2005_tape_i_grab_women_by_the_pussy.html https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSKBN1CB2EK/ Listen for yourself
  18. Like evidence against Hunter Biden? Shine a light and it evaporates.
  19. Interesting. I saw this online. Hard to believe Gaetz is in trouble?
  20. Weird how people say educators are left wing but their students end up all over the spectrum. Does it mean all Republicans have no education? I think not.
  21. My local Lotus's's's sells Yorkshire and Dilmah teas. No Cornish pasties unfortunately.
  22. I guess Trump already paved the way for this verdict when he boasted how easy it is to grab 'em by the p*ssy. He let people know what an old goat he is. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/08/us/donald-trump-tape-transcript.html https://www.vox.com/2016/10/7/13205842/trump-secret-recording-women
