Do you think that because you made the original quote, you have the right to misleadingly truncate it? Here it is once again in its entirety: You think a country that is under blockade by Israel and Egypt is "already free from Israel"?

Well, they also espouse a genocidal agenda. Not that they have the means to actually carry it out. But still...

I guess you missed the memo that said Israel and Egypt have been blockading Gaza since at least 2007.

How rich he got. I'm reminded of Ann Richards comment about George W. Bush. Something to the effect that he was born on third base and thinks he hit a home run. In fact, Trump destroyed his father's business and ended up deeply in debt because of overpaying for various other businesses. In other words, he got outnegotiated. It was only The Apprentice that rescued him from penury. As was pointed out, if he had just invested the money his father gave him in an index fund, he would have done better.

In fact, you have now been swallowed by the beast.

And when I think of how many fathers have died during childbirth and from complications of pregnancy, it just makes me so mad that they don't get the final say.

I wasn't aware that Neeranam took a cheap shot alleging plagiarism. It was the gratuitous nastiness that I was objecting to.

If that's the case, then the mods agreed with me about the quality of the post I originally objected to.

Their usual casual style. Maybe he composed this over time. Who knows? But making unfounded allegations is taking a cheap shot. Engaging with him on the facts and reasoning or the lack thereor isn''t

I just pointed out that Morch had no evidence to support his claim that Neeranam committed plagiarism. You then jumped in. If you got a problem with Neeranam being the topic, look to yourself. Or Morch.

An irrelevant thought. This forum is open to all members of aseannow.com

Someone was accused of plagiarism which is a serious accusation. I think it's a good thing that I'm going after someone who offers only nonsense to defend that accusation.

Because someone from a previously colonial nation is critical of the present situation and proposes changes, that is proof of a colonialist mentality? What about all those countries that were previously colonized by European nations including the UK and share Neeranam's views? What makes your statement even loonier is that it was the UK Foreign Minister Anthony Balfour who issued the famous or infamous, depending on one's viewpoint, Balfour Declaration which promised to hand over a piece of colonial territory to become a national home for the Jewish people. That looks a lot like drawing lines in the sand to me. If anything, it would make more sense to say that Neeranam is opposing the colonialist past of the UK. Maybe not a lot of sense, but more.

If that's the case, then how was it on topic to accuse someone of plagiarism? You could have just addressed the issues raised or asked for evidence to support his claims.

All you've done in various ways is to reiterate that because Neeranam is British he shouldn't be raising some points because somehow that meanshe bears some responsibility or has incurred some guilt for the present state of the Mideast. You've got nothing.

And your point is ridiculous in that you are assigning Neeranam responsibility for events that happened long ago most likely before he was even born.

The point is you are blaming him for the sorry history of the British Government. Has Neeranam ever been in a position to countermand British policy? There's a good reason why the mods frown on making someone's nationality, a thing they can't help, an issue. If you're an American and froma country which recently inflicted a major disaster on the Mideast, shouldn't that disqualify you from this discussion as well?

Right. Neeranam should be ashamed of himself for his historically atrocious record of dividing up other people's land. He must be a centenarian, at least.

If you understood how google works, why did you search using my text which was barely posted and in the kind of venue that makes it less likely to be indexed? Why didn't you use text from an indexed page?

What we do know is that once vaccines were available, the death rate from covid that correlated positively by area with the percentage ofvoters who voted for Trump.

One thing to note is that despite Americans' extreme dissatisfaction with the economy back when inflation was raging, they still performed far better than the polls predicted. And despite their assessment of the economy in 2023, in off year elections Democrats way overperformed in 2023. A lot of that came from opposition to the Supreme Court's Roe v Wade decision. I wonder how that's going to play in the next election when Democrats stress that Trump will appoint more right wing Supreme Court opponents who will lock in the Dobb's decision for possibly decades? Democrats are overperforming in 2023's special elections. Is it a clue for Biden vs. Trump? An analysis from FiveThirtyEight found that in 38 special elections held so far this year, Democrats have outperformed the partisan lean -- or the relative liberal or conservative history -- of the areas where the races were held by an average of 10%, both romping in parts of the country that typically support the party while cutting down on GOP margins in red cities and counties, too. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/democrats-overperforming-2023-special-elections-clue-biden-trump/story?id=101850305

I can't say I've been enjoying the meltdown of Republican voters since the 2020 election. More like exasperation with their bizarre failure to face facts.

Clearly, if a legal issue is still being adjudicated, than a court isn't going to potentially waste its time by allowing a dependent lawsuit to go ahead.

Oops!

Well, the Judge Mosely's decision was rendered on January 23, 2024.
