  1. No it was not. A large number of supporters of Brexit did so because of the impact of European rules, regulations and laws. It was the European Human Rights laws that prevented the removal of violent offenders from the UK, it was the pedantic overkill of EU agricultural laws and other measures that inflated the costs of goods. It was the EU's thirst for money that required the UK to fund programs in the EU that were to the detriment of UK national interests, and it was the overbearing and excessive influence that countries like Belgium had. It was about fairness and the refusal of the EU to understand the concerns of the UK.
  2. Your historical revisionism is insulting, not because it is false, but is intentionally misleading. - 14 million refugees were created because of the Syrian civil war. The UK had no involvement. Russia, Iran and its proxy Hezbollah created the refugees as the Alawite minority seeking to stay in power fought with the Sunni Arab majority. - The UK has not bombed Iran. In the contrary, Iranians are fleeing the Iranian shiite despots. - Yemen's 250,000+ refugees are a direct result of Iran's Houthi proxy waging a civil war. The other implicated foreign parties were the UAE and KSA. - The UK's involvement in Iraq was related to the liberation of Kuwait after it was invaded and annexed. The refugee crisis in Iraq is caused by the Iranian shiite proxy militias still feuding with the Sunni Arabs. - The Afghanistan refugees are people fleeing the Taliban. It is understandable why some people would wish to flee an Iranian associated group. - Other migrants are economic. They are leaving Russian or Chinese or Iranian associated nations. going to the UK for the easy money and the opportunity for a better life.
  3. Homosexual men reportedly express the same sentiments in respect to the rectum. There are also fetish websites that feature the insertion of fists and forearms into the orifices you mention. Do you consider the people who do that, your friends as well?
  4. More embellishment. There was a ceasefire, not a formal agreement. The Houthis consider their position as not engaging in retaliation, not an agreement. Oman's role was messenger also reportedly included paying off the Houthi leadership. The Houthis were not attacking Russian or Chinese vessels.
  5. No. It is primarily for tax management, operating costs and labour laws. Added to that is the ability to avoid sanctions. The Russian and Iranian ghost tanker fleet all have flags of convenience so that they can engage in their sanction busting activity. In order for a vessel to enter US, EU, Canada, Australia, NZ ports, a vessel must be deemed seaworthy and not present a pollution hazard. The countries cited can and do board foreign flagged vessels and perform inspections.
  6. Do you really believe that this was a legitimate concern expressed by "common people? The people who participated are the same people who have been engaging in hateful violence for the past 75+ years: Ignorant layabouts who have been blaming anyone and everyone other than themselves for their current position. They are generations of benefits collectors, who have spent their lives grifting, thieving, drinking, philandering and sucking the life out of society. These are the same people who would vandalize, loot and run amuck in the streets, all the while marrying within their close inbred community. Their mirror image are their fenian relations who live on the other side of their imagined border. Two groups of violent people who have yet to progress from their primitive savagery. They don't care about migrants. it is just an excuse to be violent and run wild.
  7. Mexico has not retaliated yet. They were keeping quiet as they negotiated. However, now, he is pushing the Mexicans into a corner. Why would the Mexicans trust trump now? He has tried to screw the Canadians with his constant changing of positions. Everytime Canada came close to an agreement with the USA, Trump changed the conditions. he has done the same thing with the EU. At some point, everyone will say enough and say, we'll take the pain just to teach the USA a lesson in good faith bargaining.
  8. You have to request the advanced tests, and they can be expensive. I had two tests added on to my labwork this year and they could only do the test in Bangkok, so my blood was sent there.
  9. You obviously never learnt to manage your alcohol. That's your problem, not mine.
  10. Not really. The migrants are not coming from countries that were conquered by the UK. On the contrary, they come from former Turkish, Italian and French colonial lands. From 2018 to 2024, citizens of six countries – Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq, Albania, Syria, have made up 70% of those crossing in small boats.The balance comes from places like Turkey, Egypt, Kuwait, Ethiopia, Yemen, Sudan and Somalia. If you want to play the colonial game, at least get the countries right. This is just France dumping its garbage in England. The UK refuses to block the boats or to send them back. It is very easy. Put them on a boat and drop them off in France where they came from. And if they won't comply sink their boats in the channel and let them swim back to france.
  11. The market is not sufficient to support TG flights. Star Alliance carriers EVA, ANA, and Air Canada offer code shares with TG. Thai can also pick up some of the connecting traffic from *A from TYO, ICN and HKG hubs. And the reality is that much of the world is looking at markets other than the USA, since tourism will shrink, not grow with the USA for the next 2 years.
  12. No you did not. I did see "red cent" which is often taken to mean Republican funds, a "Blue cent" would be interpreted as Democrat funds. Ok, so some groups seeking to influence his positions contribute. What's your point? AOC receives large contributions from similar groups as Fetterman such as Google, New York City Dept of Education, Kaiser Permanente, City University of New York and the US Postal Service. Bernie Sanders had similar large donations. Why are Fetterman's donations questionable and not Sanders or AOC's?
  13. Because his positions reflect the views of a lot of voters. He is representative of what the Democrat party once was, a party that cared about the workers and that presented socially responsible economic policies. He speaks hs mind. The popularity of the "left" leaning democrats does not represent the majority of Democrat party members. The Progressive group of Congressional members are not all radical leftists. Many are considered progressive because of their positions on women's reproductive rights, or health care access or the environment. The radical democrats like AOC, Omar, Tiab, Mfume etc. reflect ethnic political views specific to their ethnic enclaves. The high concentration of blacks, latinos and muslims in their districts foster political positions specific to their own communities and do not reflect the needs of other communities in the USA. Because he offers views that resonate with tens of millions of citizens. AOC only "packs" auditoriums in certain areas that have a large population of people that are attracted by her ethnic focused policies. The radical white college kids that come out to cheer her on, will soon change their support once they start paying large portions of their income in taxes or are directly negatively impacted by the policies she promotes. It's called a phase.
  14. Ok, please tell us who the the big Republican lobby contributions are coming from. What I can see is that his top contributors are not what you claim. 1/2 of his contributions are from individual small donations of less than $200. He gets a very small amount of contributions from PACs. - approx. 1% of his donations. His largest contributors are not Republican strategists or lobbyists. JStreet PAC $175,021 Google Inc $154,387 University Of Pennsylvania $138,520 University Of Pittsburgh $100,609 Penn State University $98,165
  15. The issue has been discussed many times in previous years. The drug cartels had set up a state within a state and were in effect an enemy paramilitary force. Their money corrupted everything it touched. The military carried out the liberation action and in some cases were needlessly violent and mucked up. Corrupt police and local gangsters used the narco terrorist suppression action to settle disputes. Had Thailand not done what it did, Thailand would have been ruled by drug cartels much as what happened in Guatemala, Panama, Columbia, Mexico, Peru and Bolivia.
  16. When was the last Cannabis theft from a cannabis medical clinic in Canada? Has there ever been a theft from a medical dispensary in Canada?
  17. Did you even take the time to look at the man's voting record. The man is more aligned with the Democrat party than other, well known Democrat members of Congress. https://www.govtrack.us/congress/members/john_fetterman/456877 because he doesn't meet your own biased assumption you accuse him of being bought by Republican lobbyists. That is just ignorant.
  18. Why would anyone with any semblance of self respect and possessing common sense, be concerned with the commentary of some undistinguished person offering guidance with "Learn Pickup, Dating & Relationship Secrets". You are like the elderly gossips from the 1950's who read Ladies Home Journal or Tattler for tips on how to catch a husband.
  19. I am surprised that our resident gumshoes have missed; - Participants were males, early 30's - Many of the males had full body tattoos, or heavy back tattoos. The thug/gangster class in South Korea is identified by this type of tattooing. I will not be surprised if those were members of a criminal group having a group dinner and a fight arose over money distribution.
  20. One of my former co-workers was a young child who left Cambodia as a refugee. His family was slaughtered. He wants justice. Other older Cambodians who I have met, share similar views.
  21. You are far too compassionate. His victims' families and survivors of his torture, want him dead.
  22. I do not know Corey Wayne. Nor have I heard of him. Citing random unknown names and putting out pop psychology meanderings, does not offer clarify the circumstances. You might as well recite the entire Greek alphabet while you are at it since it is more useful; Letter Name Uppercase Lowercase Alpha Α α Beta Β β Gamma Γ γ Delta Δ δ Epsilon Ε ε Zeta Ζ ζ Eta Η η Theta Θ θ Iota Ι ι Kappa Κ κ Lambda Λ λ Mu Μ μ Nu Ν ν Xi Ξ ξ Omicron Ο ο Pi Π π Rho Ρ ρ Sigma Σ σ, ς Tau Τ τ Upsilon Υ υ Phi Φ φ Chi Χ χ Psi Ψ ψ Omega Ω ω
  23. What are the drug profits from the measles vaccines that you are referring too. Surely, you know what the profits are if you make that claim. Tell us what they are. Sometimes vaccines are sold at a financial loss. The polio vaccine when it was first rolled out was not profitable. And as I have stated, the measles vaccine in most of the world that is used in public health, is procured on a cost+ basis. In the USA which has the some of the highest costs of drugs and vaccines, the 2025 CDC price list for a MMR 10 dose, single use pack is US $26.345. or $2.6345 per dose. This is cost +. The profit is usually 10%, so, $0.26345 per dose. Tell us how a profit margin of 26 cents is making the measles vaccine manufacturers rich .
