  1. Maybe you should get up to speed with actual facts before jumping to conclusions. The car was driven by a 50-year-old doctor who fled Saudi Arabia 20 years ago. The man is apparently strongly anti-islam and was worried about the ‘islamization’ of Germany.
  2. Seriously? That’s the kind of ‘logic’ and ‘reasoning’ used by 12-year-olds. Let me ask you this. You probably think you’re a pretty intelligent guy. Now imagine this. You’re out on foot on a vast open and flat plain, with nowhere to hide. Then someone in a car appears and starts shooting at you with an elephant rifle, with a view to kill you for fun. How long do you think you will last with all your savvy and intelligence? And by the way, people are also protein. There’s a reason that hunting down and eating people is frowned upon, isn’t there?
  3. Sure. The Abundant Life Christian School, sounds extremely progressive to me.
  4. Let me quote Luke 6:41-42 to you: “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
  5. I would be very surprised if Trump mulls anything other than how many Big Macs to eat today.
  6. I find this post quite disturbing, to be honest. Alcohol should not play such an important part in anyone’s life. Might I suggest AA?
  7. Trudeau has more decency, empathy and common sense in the tip of his little finger than Musk has in his whole body.
  8. If you want links for USA healthcare has become big business, there are literally thousands to be found on Google. Here are just a few: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6139860/ https://www.businessinsider.com/big-corporations-unitedhealth-optum-cvs-walgreens-taking-over-healthcare-industry-2024-4?international=true&r=US&IR=T https://www.economist.com/business/2023/10/08/who-profits-most-from-americas-baffling-health-care-system
  9. Doctors I don’t know, but nurses, hospital admin and staff and such usually don’t get paid too much. The problem is that big pharma and insurance companies want to make big bucks, for their shareholders, their corporate managers, ceo’s and whatnot. Health care has become a huge money making business, which it shouldn’t be. At least not on this scale. I remember a few years ago some young punk millionaire bought a company that made a certain medicine and immediately raised the price of that medicine by like 10,000 per cent. It is just greed.
  10. Sometimes you just have to pragmatic. ‘The enemy of my enemy is my friend’, or something like that. But still, even though progressive leaders may agree with Musk on this issue, it’s very likely that they have very different ideas about how to fix this. So I’m not at all sure this will be a workable coalition.
  11. I’m sure a lot of people do care. Just not those who can/should do something about this atrocious behavior.
  12. Yes, that is certainly a difficult choice. On the one hand you have Russia, a fascist dictatorial state ruled by a ruthless kleptocracy, the economy is going down the toilet, no freedom of speech (unless you toe the official Kremlin line), any criticism can either land you in jail or the gulag for 10-20 years, or dead as a result of falling out of windows, poisoning, or you just disappear. And if you’re a poor male between 18 and 55, you stand the chance of being draughted into the army and sent to the front as cannon fodder. On the other hand you have the EU. That is certainly not an ideal society, far from it, but I’m quite sure that most people in Europe (those with more than two functioning brain cells, that is) would much rather live in the EU than in Russia. So actually not a very difficult choice at all.
  13. Just more temper tantrum throwing and feet stomping by the thin skinned crybaby. How can someone that childish and petulant be so popular?
  14. Calling the Democrats far-left and Trump/MAGA ‘center’ clearly shows how much (or rather, how little) the OP knows about politics and life in general. Trump is not center, Tulsi Gabbard is not center, Scott Bessent is not center, Pete Hegseth is not center, Pam Bondi is not center, Kristi Noem is not center. The list goes on. Trump wanted Matt Gaetz for AG, for crying out loud. How is that ‘center’? Hopefully Trump will make a huge mess of things, and he’s probably going to wreck the American economy anyway, with his tariffs and deporting 10-20 million ‘illegal aliens’. And then in 2026 (if there are still free and fair elections) we will see what the voters have to say. Until then, we’re just going to have to ride out this sh!tstorm.
  15. Get back to me in 6-12 months and then we’ll see….
