  1. Wow! Great news! I once left my pouch with all my money (10,000 baht), credit cards, ID cards, and passport in a shopping cart in a Tesco (now Lotus's) parking lot after I loaded my groceries in my car. I didn't notice the pouch was missing until I got home, about a 30-minute drive. I immediately returned but could not find the pouch. I went to the Tesco Information Desk and told them what happened. They asked me some questions to confirm who I was and then returned my pouch. It had been found by another shopper, who turned it in. EVERYTHING WAS STILL THERE! NOTHING WAS MISSING! I asked for the person's name so I could contact him/her, thank them, and give them a reward, but they would not give me the name. From now on, when I shop, I put my car keys in my pouch so I cannot drive away without it.
  2. @Nick Carter icp and @Hanaguma, I'm logging off for the night now. I'll pick up any comments you make tomorrow. Sleep well!
  3. And the Jews stole it from the Canaanites 3500 years ago, if you believe the account in the Torah and Bible Old Testament.
  4. Israelis do not have to gibe up their unique character and culture, but I would hope they could do that in a state that included other types of people and religions. Strictly speaking, the Jews could go back where THEY came from - Egypt. (Read Exodus in the Torah or the Bible Old Testament.)
  5. I do oppose Hamas and any exclusive one-state solution proposed by either side. One could argue that the Jews came from Egypt if you believe in the Exodus written about in the Torah and the Bible Old Testament.
  6. I did say IN Israel . The West Bank isn't part of Israel . Well, that makes it even worse! Israelis are taking Palestinian land in Palestine.
  7. No, I do not support any EXCLUSIVE one-state solution. If it's a one-state solution, it has to include all types of people or I would not support it.
  8. So, there is no taking of Palestinian (Muslim) land by Israeli settlers in the West Bank? Anyway, if everyone could live together in harmony, I would recommend expanding Israel to include Gaza and the West Bank. But, if everyone cannot live in harmony, I could recommend a two-state solution. The boundaries of those states would have to be defined, and that would be very difficult.
  9. If that's how you think of them, then it sounds like you favor a two-state solution, which is one of my choices. However, if you favor a EXCLUSIVE one-state solution, I would not support that.
  10. Make you mind up . My mind isn't the mind that needs to be made up. It's the minds of the leaders of both Israel and Palestine that have to be made up. If they are set on having a state of their own, then I would recommend a two-state solution. If they are acceptable to live together in peace, then I would recommend a one-state solution. Maybe I should have said I do not support an EXCLUSIVE Jewish homeland, but one that is open to Palestinians, and others, too.
  11. I'm okay with that, but the problem is, just WHERE is this Jewish state? What are its BOUNDARIES? Does it include Gaza and the West Bank? If these areas, especially the West Bank, are to be shared by both Jews and Palestinians, how can that be done? If all this territory is to be only an exclusive "Jewish Homeland," what is to be done with the Palestinians who live there? Will they be expelled, or if not, how will they be treated?
  12. No, because I don't care if there is a Jewish homeland. As I said above, I'd like to see everyone, Jews, Muslims, Christians, Buddhists, Hindus, and even atheists, live wherever they want to, together as equals and in peace.
  13. I certainly don't consider myself a Zionist. I prefer a one-state solution where everyone lives as equals and at peace. If that's not possible right now—and it seems like it's not—then I believe a two-state solution is the way to go.
  14. I don't see cannibalism as any horrible thing unless someone is killed to eat them. If they're already dead and you have no other food, then I believe that is acceptable.
  15. I agree with that list!
  16. I am a Harris supporter, or more correctly, a Trump opponent, and I am not like Trump supporters who seem to have an unlimited attention span when listening to Trump's and Vance's accusations and lies.
  17. I started to watch this video referenced above, but it was 30 minutes long. Way too long for me. 😞
  18. I'm considering doing this, and I believe you need to attach your solar panels to a series of batteries and then use an inverter to convert the batteries' DC into AC 220V to deliver the electricity to your car. You could deliver the DC directly to your car's batteries with a non-standard connection, but the car's standard connection requires AC. I'm not an expert on this subject, but after learning about all this online, these are my recommendations.
  19. I hope Michael Moore is correct. I have already sent in my vote, but I vote in California, so my vote will be the same as most Californians (Democrat), so it will have no impact on the Electoral College votes.
  20. Mexicans are Americans. They are from Central America, just as I am from North America. Some immigrants are from South America. We are all Americans. Yes, because of our Electoral College system to elect a president, my vote in California doesn't really matter in the overall scheme of things, but it does to "we."
  21. I've already voted, and guess who I voted for? 😄
  22. I am a citizen of the USA, which some refer to as an "American." I was born there and lived there for over 50 years. I moved to Thailand about 20 years ago (I'm 78 now). In fact, I'm still registered to vote in California. About a week ago, I sent in (faxed) my ballot for the Nov elections, and have received a verification of it's receipt and acceptance. Are you an "American"? And by the way, most of the immigrants trying to get into the USA over the border with Mexico are "Americans." 😉
  23. Not really, considering US media is extremely biased in favor of the left. One would have to be a fool to take any article posted here at face value But you accept everything Trump says as true, right? 😄
