WDSmart

I don't think the child should be punished for the incident by treating him for "everything." Nothing in the article indicated the child had done anything to provoke the dog, although, of course, that might be the case. I think there is still time for the child to learn how to treat and live compatibly with animals and other people. As far as the dog is concerned, a small amount of pentobarbital could be given as a sedative, but too much would be dangerous, so I think that is uncalled for.

and an injection I agree both the child and the dog might need an injection if it is determined that the dog has rabies.

4 a.m. What is anyone doing out at that hour?

Arrest him, try him, put him in jail for 30 days or so, and then deport him.

Assuming the child did nothing to provoke the dog, I agree with quarantining the dog for observation.

I agree with the idea behind this cancellation, but I'd rather see the celebration of ALL religions' holidays than none at all.

Yes, I am worried Trump will do something that will reduce or stop my Social Security payments. An example would be stopping paying people who now live outside the USA.

Why is any country allowed to drill in the Arctic?

I'm not sure what conditions you're talking about, but in Thailand (or any country with right-hand drive), the car turning left always has the right-of-way.

I'm sure anyone "prancing down a public street with their dangly bits hanging out" would love a little "pushback." 😉

I vehemently disagree with the jury's verdict but will reluctantly accept it.

Although I think anyone exercising their First Amendment right to Free Speech should not be hesitant to reveal their identity, until the courts are clearer on what issues are covered under Free Speech (like anti-Isreal), I think this "No Mask" rule/law suggested above is uncalled for.

Just capture him, tie him up, and put him outside for the night. Job done!

I'm against any attack on LGBTQ+ people, but I agree with the proposed ban on dual citizenship.

Ha! Ha! Ha! 😁

I certainly hope not.

Columbia University is a private school. Why does Trump think he can order them to do anything regarding their curriculum?

Right now, I wouldn't be happy about dying, but if I had some kind of painful, untreatable illness, I probably would be. As far as dying in Thailand, I expect I will do that. I have a will and want to be buried on the mountain behind my (my wife's) property, in a biodegradable bag with a tree planted on top of me.

Gee, what a surprise! 😠

So now, we are talking about The Carbon Cycle? Maybe, but I'd prefer the WDSmart Cycle... 😁

There are always... Worms, obviously. Yes, there might be worms. That's why I have put into my will my desire, when I'm dead, to be put into a degradable sack, un-ebalmed, and buried in a big hole with a tree planted on top of me. If there is anything after I die like I perceive now, then, as fertilizer, I will become a part of the tree. 👍

Again, I'm not a legal expert, but it is my understanding that our Constitution applies to everyone who is in the US legally, including permanent residents (Green Card), visa holders, and even refugees (those who entered illegally fleeing violence).

Read my posts. All of them are based on what I've seen on TV (CNN) and read elsewhere online. Whether any of that, including what is written in this forum, is true, I don't really know. I do believe his case is pending in court and expect we'll see the results of that soon.

I don't know a lot about all the details of this case, and I am not a legal expert. However, I do know that a permanent resident (Green Card) has First Amendment rights. Actually, I think anyone in the USA, even on a visa, has those. The rights guaranteed by the Constitution cannot be overridden by any other federal or state laws. So, again, IMO, passing out flyers should be protected as "free speech" unless they are an incitment to do something illegal. That's what being contested in court, and we'll find out what the judge thinks soon.

We'll have to wait and see. And, no matter what the judge rules, I don't consider speaking out for or passing out fliers that support any group of any kind to be "material support" and a violation of the First Amendment. Especially in this case, which is obviously extreme right-wing (aka Trump) politically motivated.
