  1. Remove all Chinese from America? Really? What about those with American citizenship? Them too I suppose. Don't allow Chinese tourists in either?
  2. Are you suggesting that not suing is a better idea? Only fired employees can "jump on the bandwagon". It couldn't happen to a nicer billionaire. He can afford it, they make money by ripping off the little people.
  3. Having a homeland in modern Israel would probably never have been a problem if the Israelis had not viewed themselves as the only true owners of the land of Israel. The illegal settlements prove that.
  4. Which means absolutely nothing and is not any kind of argument in defense of anything. Nazi comparisons can be valid in the right context and the Israeli treatment of Palestinian as "untermenchen" is a case in point. Certainly the holocaust is not comparable but the apartheid is the same. Israeli use of aircraft to attack Palestinians is very disproportionate and they have been fairly accused many times of crimes against humanity and war crimes.
  5. So would most Australians. The right wing press is most responsible for the brexit disaster and for telling the public lies to get right wing parties elected toprotect the rich from having to pay taxes. The reason we get the MTG's is because the Republicans don't have a choice if they want power. The must appeal to conspiracy theories and uneducated blue collar workers looking to scapegoat somebody for what the rich did to their jobs. The right wing press fuels these lies and the useful idiots vote for them. The average Republican is stupid for voting to keep the rich in power, it's completely against their own interests.
  6. Yes it is. I was surprised to see the claim that it was a 3 cylinder.
  7. That's like saying Crimea is long gone for Ukraine. No way to get it back? No way for the Palestinians to get their land back either?
  8. I've owned a 2014 Honda City since new and driven it across Australia in the summer. While it's a little under powered for that type of use it has been very reliable.
  9. Isn't that the same argument that Russia is making in Ukraine? That's it's a reality on the ground and the losers should deal with it?
  10. Israel’s West Bank settler population now makes up more than half a million people, a pro-settler group said Thursday, crossing a major threshold. Settler leaders predicted even faster population growth under Israel’s new ultranationalist government. “We’ve reached a huge hallmark,” said Baruch Gordon, the director of the group and a resident of the Beit El settlement. “We’re here to stay.” https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/israeli-settler-population-in-west-bank-surpasses-half-a-million
  11. Israel’s 55-year occupation of Palestinian Territory is apartheid https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2022/03/israels-55-year-occupation-palestinian-territory-apartheid-un-human-rights https://www.amnesty.org/en/location/middle-east-and-north-africa/israel-and-occupied-palestinian-territories/report-israel-and-occupied-palestinian-territories/
  12. This is crazy. The jobs data came out before the stock market opening. On open the S&P dropped over 40 points then regained all of it to rise to a high above yesterday and has now lost all 40 points again.
  13. How do you get from raping and trafficking women to Islamic terror attacks?
  14. Dialogue? You mean like "we're not going to invade, we're only conducting exercises. That dialogue?
  15. She's a radical fundamentalist christian nationalist. “I am being attacked by the godless left because I said I’m a proud Christian nationalist,” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene wrote in a recent tweet. Two days later, she was hawking merch—a “Proud Christian Nationalist” T-shirt, for sale on her Instagram. “Share your love for our great nation with this shirt, available EXCLUSIVELY at the Official MTG Shop,” the caption said. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2022/08/christian-nationalist-identity-marjorie-taylor-greene.html
  16. I really wanted to abuse a Russian today. I was at Big C in Pattaya lined up at one of only three checkouts open and they told a Russian in front of me that checkout was cash only. He wasn't having it and just wanted to be obnoxious. They told him to go to another checkout but no, he just stood his ground. After about ten minutes of this I was forced to go line up at another checkout.
  17. Hilarious that the Russians are paranoid of facing German tanks but somehow not Russian tanks.
  18. Because you are both tribal. The Palestinians have no more right to exist or land than the Palestinians have. What would be equitable would be to divide up the land based on population. The water as well.
  19. What value is there in any state being a theology or needing to have a majority any religion state. As long as there is peace it doesn't matter. The Israelis do everything they can to antagonise the Palestinians and prevent peace. Should the US be a majority Christian state? I think you would argue not.
  20. It's a little pedantic really, they mean save species, including humans. Most people implictly understand this. You can bash them over terminology but it changes nothing.
  21. "evaporation in warmer climes" lol. Pray tell, where does that evaporated water go to? Does more and more just keep evaporating? I'll answer for you to save you doing some research but we know climate change deniers (anthropomorphic) hate that. It returns to earth as rain.
  22. In a downturn computer sales are first to feel the crunch as people tend to hang on to their devices longer. This is especially true at the top end. Apple laptops are certainly the best (except for linux), mainly because of the operating system. Their phones are a different story. They can't differentiate themselves enough in that market. Computer hardware has led software innovation by a long way for a long time and there isn't the justification to upgrade as often.
