At least he won't have to put up with the childish insults from Sturgeon this time.

She has bigger things to worry about.

Let’s just examine this for a moment.

 

”So you’d support Tom Cruise playing Michael Jordan?”

 

Not the topic of discussion, not even anything I’ve ever expressed an opinion on.

 

“Or can you work race into his story as well ?”

 

Erm what?

 

“It seems you think race is integral to every black persons story.”

 

Now you are back to imagining the opinions on behalf of others then asserting that they hold the opinions you have imagined.

 

“That’s identity politics I guess.”

 

No, that’s you making up views on behalf of other people.

 

“incredibly divisive but a staple of the Wokerati diet.”

 

A bit of a poor diet given the content of your post here comprises nothing but your own imaginings.

 

I suggest you argue with what people have actually said and not what you imagine they have said. You are in truth arguing with yourself.

 

It’s not a good look.

Stop wriggling.

Do you support the roles of black historical figures being taken by white actors in the same way that you support the roles of white historical figures being taken by black actors?

It's a simple question. Yes or No. You either support racial equality or you don't.

I’ve explained why race is central to the lives and any portrayal of the lives of MLK and Mohammed Ali, and why issues of race is not any part of the life of Anne Boleyn.

 

Refer above.

Equating MLK and Mohammed Ali to Anne Boleyn, for goodness sake man, get a grip.

 

How am I equating them? And what difference does it make if they are equatable? Get a grip woman. So the acceptability of playing the part of someone from a different race is dependent on the status of the person you are playing?

What is your point exactly? It’s ok for white people to play the role of bad black people but not good black people? Or black people can only play the part of bad white people? 

A white guy can play John Allen Muhammad but not Muhammad Ali?

You’re tying yourself in knots again. You’re going all Sturgeon on us. You might want to see how that worked out for her. 

Let’s be honest, what you are really saying is that it’s ok for black actors to play white roles but not vice versa. You perfectly embody the hypocrisy of the left once again. Well done.

MLK and Mohammed Ali were both activists in the struggle of the civil rights movement, both victims of racism who rose above tat racism.

 

Their race is central to their story.

 

Non of which can be said of Ann Boleyn, her story was not one of race and she was not the subject of racism, she was not an activist in the fight against racism.

 

Why this needs to be explained to you is a mystery.

 

Well, actually, no it’s not a mystery at all.

 

Ok how about Rowan Atkinson playing Michael Jordan ?

I’m guessing every famous black man is a victim of racism whose race is central to the story in your leftist woke world?

The fact you see race as a central point in every argument only highlights on your own agenda and prejudice.

The same ‘Corporate America’ that was given a $1.3Trillion tax break by Trump.

 

Go figure.

Makes you wonder what Biden (well, his handlers) has promised. Because I doubt they are supporting him for his economic genius.

This is great news.

There is no way a criminal would own/buy an illegal gun. So this will solve everything.????

Anyone know if the EU diplomats were actually democratically voted into their position or not ? Be pot calling the kettle black if not

No. The EU isn't huge on Democracy. Not even the President is elected by citizens of the EU. There are many layers between the electorate and the positions of power. A very convoluted process to give the impression of a Democracy while ensuring the people have no say. No citizen voted for Von Der Leyen and they cannot vote to remove her.

In fact, despite all it's faults Thailand has a superior version of Democracy than the EU so it is strange that these diplomats would be so critical. At least the Thais know who they are voting for to lead the country. In any case, these diplomats will be ignored by the Thais. They have little interest in making the same mistakes that is leading to the downfall of The West. The East is rising, free of the shackles of Woke ideology and socialist ideals and a few dinosaurs arrogantly pontificating from a fading power won't change that.

All Thais know where to buy alcohol on all days. This doesn't effect them one iota. 

 

Yes of course, and so do expats. However that wasn't my point.

My point is that this needlessly affects business owners and tourists. It would be so simple to allow foreigners to be excluded from this silly paternalistic tradition.

Strange how uTube deleted all the vids of him stroking and touching little kiddies.

 

They are still there. He certainly knows how to make them feel very uncomfortable. Poor girl is shaking at the 38 second mark and he gets "the eyes" from the help to tell him to stop it at 0:40.

Yea one of my favorite places to ride. Below my weapon of choice for spirited day out in the Alps. Would this Kawa 400 provide me with as much fun? I dunno. I have not noticed many small cubic four pots there.

 

The Tuono is a lovely bike. I really like the 660 but it's ridiculously priced here.

As for small 4 pots in Europe, they haven't released any for years. The ZX-25R was Asia only. I think the ZX-4R will be released there but I'm not sure how well it will do, since lots of people there like the pub/forum bragging rights of a bigger bike. I think the 4R would do very well in the Alps as long as you kept it on the pipe. 

Torque is a lot of fun, my MT09 wants to lift the front wheel until you get into 4th. But there's something fun about extracting every bit of power out of a smaller engine. I know it's a cliche, but it's true that it's more fun riding a slow bike fast than riding a fast bike slow.

I sat on the 4R at the motor show and it's surprisingly comfy. Higher bars than most supersports, not quite as high as the Ninja 400 but not far off.
