Fat is a type of crazy

But there's enough there to use your own brain and judgement to pick a side on many of these issues. I have said it before - sure the mainstream media puts a slant on things but it is fact checked and it is mainly true. What I see on this site is Trump addles peoples brains to believe everyone is lying and bad and so everyone is as bad as Trump so be careful not to full in the trap. What you might think is being objective may be falling for Trump's nonsense.

Since Biden left stocks have surged, America is loved and respected around the world again, rule of law is stronger than ever and all the smart people are in positions of power. Thanks Joe - you kind of mucked it up here and there - but your bad is so much better than the nonsense there now.

Isn't it super obvious. Make sensible cuts looking at programs that are not needed or marginal - and being smart about which staff are cut and which left behind - no worries. Make poorly thought out wide ranging cuts in an arrogant smart alec way like you want to be seen as a hero rather than actually doing good things and people push back. Signed A Public Servant

If only we could put JFK Junior in the Off the Beaten Track of Asean Now and leave him there. They should give him some funding and let him play with that and if it finds something all well and good but let the experts get on with planning for a safe USA and world. I mean he has some OK ideas about improving diet and concerns about big pharma but so much looks hopeful at best and highly reckless. Lets hope a huge health risk doesn't pop up with him at the helm.

It just seems such a clear cut example where there was a thing called measles which had various effects on the infected - sure - it wasn't the most deadly disease but caused significant concerns and good to get rid of - and along comes a vaccine and does that - apparently a huge drop between 1965 and 1968 and on going. It's hard to imagine what it is if not a disease spread from human to human that an effective vaccine can deal with. Of all the things to hang your hat on as a lie this seems an odd one.

OK lets hear how the measles vaccine once introduced in 1963 resulted in cases of measles being reduced so significantly between 1965 to 1968. No cutesie answers please.. objective tested studies if you are saying there is no such correlation.

Assuming I am not missing some joke 'should of' is ok and appropriate with some added punctuation, proper tense, and better spelling ... He should, of course, have stopped the car to pick up the bottle.

I find this argument far from compelling. Why can't you criticise the politics of a country you haven't lived in? Especially when their policies affect the world so significantly. Do you think your life in the US is so starkly different to mine in Australia - having a close family member live in the states and having visited a number of states there I would say it's as hard for a Washingtonian to understand an Alabaman than it is for an Australian to understand Americans in general. But this notion that it's laughable or comic relief for a non American to comment on America seems kind of silly.

Take it as good feedback about how you come across. She might be shallow but the issue of being Hi so or not might relate to how sociable, charming, and tuned in to the world you seem rather than only about money. Talking about exes on a first chat - even if asked - is not likely to lead to anything positive in how you are perceived. Fact is if that's on her mind - and not something you care about as is the case for most men - good to find out now.

Doesn't it all get a bit same same after a while. Like Paddy going around looking at the same sort of stuff. Is Paddy still a thing?

Bali is beautiful if you go to the right places ..tourists are widespread but the Kuta Legian bit is where it gets the bad reputation. Go to Bali - then Lombok and see a much more beautiful Kuta Beach and the spectacular Mt Rinjani and dark sand beaches in the north then go to Sumba and Komodo for the dragons and Flores for the picturesque forests and waters and portuguese influence then to Timor for a look and then to Darwin an hour by air and see Kakadu.

Not that easy to find in tourist areas but there are pockets here and there e.g. you can still have that old feeling in Koh Chang. Bungalows in the forest close to Lonely Beach, huts on the beach at Khlong Prou, and similar down near the end of the road. Cheap and peaceful. Reminded me a bit of my one and only trip to Koh Samui in 85 . I was surprised how nice Mai Khao beach in Phuket was a few weeks ago - natural beach and some inexpensive accommodation available if needed. The government will do what they need to to get the most money but can't complain when they let you in for 60 days as a tourist and easy to get a further 30.

You are one of the few on the fence - not sure about Trump - posters. You might like Jon Oliver's take on the tariffs from last night on youtube. Though he is a lefty it seemed to me a reasonably detailed telling of the story with a bit of comedy thrown in that might be good for someone who cannot decide whether Trump is playing 4 dimensional chess or he has handled the whole issue like a doofus.

I sense that the premise of your argument is that Trump knows what he is doing, that he is trustworthy, and that showing him weakness is an effective way to deal with him. You can see by what has happened that he is floundering on the whole issue of tariffs. My take is he has had this tariff dream for some decades and got so confident after the second election win that he could pull anything off - but not so.

This post does seem trollish like Mr Hotsun knows why. Some one treats them terribly and unfairly .. why didn't they cop it like a good little subservient nation - way to turn China from major pariah to minor hero.
