Your very wrong. I did 2 tours in NI {2 and a half years} as a soldier and we had checkpoints on the border roads. We stopped cars searching for smuggling and of course weapons etc. Police never there all tucked up nice and safe in their little compounds again guarded by military. If you wanted them to leave said safety OMG!!!! How dare you.
No you are very wrong, your misinformation of the facts is a slur on the memory of the hundreds of RUC officers who were slain by IRA murderers. Methinks, if you did actually serve any time in N.I, you were nowhere near the border. And if you did in fact spend any time around it, you would know it was the British army who had the security compounds of high walls, blast proof building and sangers to protect them. The men of the RUC had to go home to their normal housing estates where they were targeted by cowards who mostly placed bombs under their private cars and scurried away in the dark.

46 minutes ago, habanero said:Iran is the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism. Period. It has held that dubious distinction for many years now and shows no sign of relinquishing the title.
To the contrary, the regime in Tehran continues to provide hundreds of millions of dollars every year to terrorists across the world. It does this, despite ongoing economic turmoil that’s impoverishing many of its people. The beneficiaries of this misbegotten largesse range from Hezbollah in Lebanon, to Hamas in Gaza, to violent rejectionist groups in the West Bank, to the Houthis in Yemen, to hostile militias in Iraq and Syria.
So you all keep knocking what President Trump is trying to do. The big picture is not just to keep Iran from acquiring nukes. It is to basically break them of the ability to sponsor these terrorist programs.
Let me give you some numbers. This may sound hard to believe, but Iran provides Hizballah alone some $700 million a year. It gives another $100 million to various Palestinian terrorist groups. When you throw in the money provided to other terrorists, the total comes close to one billion dollars.
And who ultimately pays the price of this support? The Iranian people. The resources Iran uses to fund its global terrorist campaign come directly out of the pockets of ordinary Iranians. The regime robs its own citizens to pay its proxies abroad. This is not the behavior of a normal government. This is the behavior of a lawless regime that uses terrorism as a basic tool of statecraft.
I think most normal people recognise that it's America who is now the leading state sponsor of terrorism. Arming and training the likes of Israel and Saudi Arabia who are carrying out mass genocide with Americas blessing. At the same time bullying sensible nations who don't see the world through Americas eyes.

If that's the road they are going down then is should be for all and not just over fifty. The past few years has seen an increase of ''go fund me'' posts. These are all under fifty and mostly as a result of accidents with no insurance. Stop picking on the oldies.

In America if you avoided a checkpoint, rode away fast to escape apprehension you'd be laying on the floor with several .38 holes in you !
Not saying I condone the action of the volunteer, but the action of the family got a re-action from the police
Yeah well we all know how America is turning out don't we!

Being of latin american heritage, and a cousin who now lives in Columbia, I've watched with dismay the implosion of Venezuela.
Chavez ran a smoke a mirrors economy, funded during the $100+ oil days.
He collapsed the domestic food production market by subsidized imports, the results of which, now they have no money for imports is driving people into Columbia just for something to eat.
I watched some idiotic British guy on TV the other day (I think he used to be mayor of London, can't remember his name) claiming that US sanctions had caused all this.
Trouble is there were no US sanctions until last month.
The Venezuelan regime, created all this by themselves
Not true, sanctions have been in place since Chavez upset the yanks with his rhetoric.

Well let's put it another way, dual pricing is dual pricing and if Thais only get 100 Baht discount what is the point ofvfual pricing other than the owners think they should be doing it. Added to this the reviews I have seen have said it is not worth paying either price as it is garbage. So yes, it's not worth taking my kids there, it's not as though we sit at home with nothing else to do.
Yeah I can see you spend your day here on Thaivisa but what are your kids doing?

guess, since these children don't receive any education by their parents and never learn to obey, they continue to act as they like in Kindergarten or school, not listening or obeying the teacher or the nanny.
Which leads to such violent outbursts by teachers who wish to make themselves heard. A form of expressing their helplessness by playing out physical strength
If the children would just obey . . like the boy who starts wandering around, if it was for the Nanny who told him three, four times "please sit down with the others" without him reacting . . . well WHAT would you do in her place? Freak out or keep your calm?
a difficult situation . . . if parents pass their educational responsibilities to nannies and teachers, they must be willing to accept that this education is based on learning & obeying
Are you for <deleted> real? Sit down and read what you just wrote! 3 and 4 years olds dont have the attention span to sit from maybe 7 am until 5 pm listening to nothing but rote learning day in and day out. Obviously you have no children (or mind) of your own it you did you would understand how little.ones work.

"The United States has designated only three other countries - Iran, Sudan and Syria - as state sponsors of terrorism."
Absolutely Saudi Arabia was always above suspicion!
Well said and also maybe they should be looking under their own bed too.

The British Govenment should be hanging its head in shame, and apologising for the misery caused and the countless lives lost through the meddling of their predecessors.
What right had a European power to give away land it did not own to foreign European Jews while ignoring the rights and wishes of the resident indigenous 91% Palestinian population.
Then supporting massive European Jewish migration, helping Jews with the infrastructure to establish a racist Zionist state, training Jewish militias while decimating Palestinian leadership and undermining all their attempts to resist this blatant colonialist project.
Palestinians quite rightly rejected the Balfour Declaration in 1917 and Partition in 1947 for the same reasons..why should they agree to a foreign power giving away a majority of their land to a minority of foreign colonists.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Probally should not have stole the land from native Americans either but hey!

This is wonderful news and the beginning of the end of Trump.
Manafort and Gates are now toast; there is no reason for them not to begin cooperating, assuming that they haven't already. How and on who's orders did they get the Republican convention to soften their Russia stance? And lots and lots and lots and lots more questions beyond that one. Trump junior's meeting in June 2016? Manafort sure as hell knew what was going on.
Judging by what I see on the news, I'd say it is 100% certain that Flynn and his associates will also be charged. The information already publicly available guarantees that; being an agent for Turkey at the same time that you are trying to become National Security Advisor? Planning on kidnapping Gulen for the Turkish government? It is jail time for him as well.
And this is just the publicly available information. Imagine what Mueller knows? The FBI has been investigating since June of last year; I doubt that we have seen even ten percent of what is coming. And I bet Mueller either has or will have Trump's tax returns.
It is going to be an ugly time ahead, but I honestly believe that we will all look back and see that today was the day that it all began to stop.
I have said it before and (sadly) will say it again;
Donald Trump is an ever-expanding cloud of toxic waste that defiles everything it touches.
I will be sooooo happy when the nightmare is over...
God help us all
Yeah you deserve to have an honourable president like HC. Everyone gets what they what, or more importantly, what they are due, eventually. You are a perfect example of what's wrong with the people of the world today. Whine whine whine when you get a result that does not suit you. A bit like brexit in a way.

You seem to have forgotten what started all this. Going through another terrorist attack like the WTC is unacceptable. Time to get tough on nations that support terrorists. Pakistan being one.
The troops know exactly what they are fighting for. Preventing a safe harbor for terrorists. Sadly, the current tactics don't seem to be working.
Sadly soldiers go where they are ordered to by the old men at the top. I don't think they do know what they are fighting for. You might say they are protecting their country. If that was true then they would be in Saudi where most of the worlds terrorism was and is financed from, including the WTC attack. Who selects and installs the radical clerics in Mosques financed by the Saudi government? Get your young men out, get them home and secure your borders. Let the ragheads and Jews sort their own problems out.
