  1. Okay, we'll call it genetic clusters or some such.
  2. Probably. It's not usually newsworthy when a Dem joins a picket line. Tell me when your man Trump joins a picket line.
  3. No such thing as race. The pictured people are Hebrews living in Africa. They are genetically closer to the ancient Hebrews than most Israelis today.
  4. This isn't a firmly held position, they don't know, and they don't care about their history before the current dynasty.
  5. I am just talking about the various ethnic groups that make up Thailand today. Ironically, one of the smaller influences was the migration of Thai people from China. Mon people made up the main component of the population of most of Indochina, with an overlay of Indian. There is an interesting parallel with the English, where the initial pre-Celtic population is the main genetic component. The Anglo-Saxons had a small genetic contribution, much as the Thais from China in Thailand.
  6. Has someone accused of a single event mass murder ever been found innocent by a jury or subsequent investigation?
  7. not an unreasonable position. Obviously, the Devil is in the details.
  8. i have to believe that part of the motivation of the Trump fans to post here is emotional. They just have to post, they don't care if what they post is easily refuted. They just want to express their feelings that the other "tribe" is wrong.
  9. i posted a chart about homicides, and your response was about shoplifting. Why are murder rates higher in Red states?
  10. Congress makes laws, not the President.
  11. Given the probability of a shutdown, what will the immediate impacts be? Flying into the US, will Immigration staff be reduced?
  12. Why does Donald Trump say he supports the UAW strike?
  13. Here is your problem: you get your news from outlets that have a political agenda. So, they play to your prejudices, but misinformation you. Crime in Red states
  14. I am suggesting that Thailand was part of India for an extended period. This resulted in Hinduism being fused with Thai Buddhism, but also a genetic contribution by migrants from the subcontinent.
  15. But the committee offered no proof. Even you have to admit that the Republicans have made a lot of accusations but no proof.
  16. Studies show that states with higher murder rates are those that vote red even as conservatives stoke fear about crime Wrong. It's the Red states that have more crime problems.
  17. The following is all based on my understanding of the early history of Indochina, so please feel free to correct me. Starting 70,000 years ago (more or less), the first Homo Sapiens walked out of Africa, passing through the Middle East, Iran, India, and eventually into Thailand and beyond. This particular migration ended up in Australia and Northern China, although it's possible that a short cut through Myanmar was taken to reach China. During the trek through the Middle East there was some funny business with Neanderthals, so that descendants of these people have a small amount of Neanderthal DNA. However, whoever remained in Thailand from this initial migration were replaced or assimilated by people coming from the north (China). These recent arrivals settled through Indochina. In Thailand, they are known as Mon people, in Cambodia they are Khmer. In all cases, they carry DNA from Denisovans who were assimilated by Homo Sapiens in the last 70,000 years. So, East Asians have genetic contributions from both Neanderthals and Denisovans. About 1500 years ago, there was a Hindu kingdom throughout Indochina. So what is now Thailand was then India. This had a big impact on demographics in current Thailand. In the last 1,000 years or so, Mon people in Indochina have been absorbed by later migrants - in Myanmar, a migration from Tibet carried what are now the Burmese into Myanmar (also some ethnic Tai people from China accompanied a Mongol invasion of Myanmar). In Thailand and Laos, Tai people migrated from southern China and assimilated the Mon people. The last major area to be wrested from the Mon people was Chonburi. There was a wave of migration from what is now Malaysia into southern Thailand. Bottom line, in Thailand, there is a big genetic contribution from India, and from East Asians (Mon and Thai peoples). So, Thai people may look East Asian, or South Asian.
  18. geez, another GISH Gallop post, starting off with a lie and going downhill from there. "Like letting into the country millions of unvetted people from all over the world including China". okay, prove that.
  19. There was a lot of animosity on Ukraine against Shokin, because he never investigated the shooters of protestors during the Maidan revolution. The Burisma failure by Shokin was more important abroad, because of the corruption issue.
  20. Okay, let's see some documentation of the Shokin investigation of Burisma. We'll wait.
  21. Trump said that the Ukrainian prosecutor Joe Biden had pushed to oust, Viktor Shokin, was "prosecuting" the company where Hunter Biden sat on the board, Burisma. CONCLUSION Shokin was not prosecuting Burisma.
  22. Shokin was formally dismissed in a parliamentary vote on 29 March 2016. Wow. Nasty and wrong in one short post. So, why did Republicans in 2016 want Shokin fired?
  23. my position is that taxes of the wealthy should be raised, and health coverage for everyone should be available. i support candidates who support my position.
  24. "there seems to be proof". Okay, post it.
