How about the pilgrims who ran the natives off their land. Or the countless times that the white immigrants did. I'm guessing an apology is due? What about the native Hawaiians? Decimated by the arrival of the whites. I'm guessing another apology? P.S. we're not "back then" now. Luckily. Times have changed.

Never met him Never want to. I don't lie like he does. Even his lawyers admit that he doesn't tell the truth. You didn't know this? You Literally Can't Believe The Facts Tucker Carlson Tells You.

Seems this guy is getting his info from right wing sites. Thus, the comments bashing liberal cities and immigrants. America needs immigrants. Were an aging population. The laws need changing, but that's been the case for decades. Politicians don't want to change it so it can be a key plank in their election platform. Kinda like Trump just did.

Kinda like Europeans and Americans use to do...and still do. The concept of a peaceful world doesn't comport with historical facts. Research the trail of tears. My family's history. For many minorities, perhaps a revolution is needed. Especially with the "whitening" of America as declared by many on the right. Sad

Removing statutes and things like that which seem to praise atrocities like slavery and the brutality endured by native Americans is a good thing. We need to learn from the past. Not glorify those who committed horrendous acts. Hopefully there are better things to praise. Like Rosa Parks, etc. Though white America might not agree.

A university education isn't just about learning a specific trade. It's an amazing experience. The people you meet become life long friends. And for many jobs, it's a ticket you need. One of the best times of my life was college. Went from a musician bum to an adult in a very short time. I have many friends who never went to college and did fantastic. I have many who are also barely scrapping by.

Just drove down Jomtien beach road. Packed! Mostly locals with motorcycles in their truck bed. Even several flatbed trucks with 5 or 6 strapped down. Lots slept on the beach last night

We're We're right on Jomtien beach. Great view. But most days can't see Koh Laarn or Sattahip mountains. Terrible. We. Leave the doors open all day. Before bed, we rinse our feet off and it's pure black. We have to damp mop almost every day -
Even faux news admits Tucker Carlson is just entertainment. Not reporting facts. https://www.npr.org/2020/09/29/917747123/you-literally-cant-believe-the-facts-tucker-carlson-tells-you-so-say-fox-s-lawye "Fox persuasively argues, that given Mr. Carlson's reputation, any reasonable viewer 'arrive[s] with an appropriate amount of skepticism' about the statement he makes."

Last few weeks it was Bangkok. We got hit by it hard here in Jomtien. Mainly coming from factories and vehicles.
