I don't recall LKY suppressing anyone. He made them all do national service together to make them see other races as no different to themselves- it worked. While I never saw a race riot I lived there during that time. I'm also a fan of LKY. He turned a British military base into a thriving country, and tolerated none of the BS that blights the west today. When a cop there said to stop, one did or got shot. No messing about. He did go a bit far with suppressing the "fun side of life" and the place got a bit too sterile. I loved hanging out in Bugis street till dawn, but it's apparently just shops and restaurants now.

I'm not a Yank, I don't know enough about Taiwan to comment, you have zero proof I'm a Putin fanboy, and I don't care who lives in the Donbass. I only want NATO to stop the proxy war that is killing so many conscripts for nothing. A Yankee doesn't need to lecture me about my history. You are Singaporean? I lived there many years. It's my favourite country on Earth, but too expensive for me to visit now.

Anything is possible. It just hasn't been invented yet.

US governments apparently like "murderous bastards", given their support of Saddam while he was their boy against Iran, and the dirty tricks to get Pinochet installed. A few more as well if I could be bothered to think about it more.

While I have no idea what on earth you are wobbling on about, I'll take it as a compliment that you have such a negative opinion of me. I wouldn't want someone like you to approve of my words.

Apparently that is what happened with Carter. The Iranians waited till his successor was installed to release the US embassy staff.

That wasn't what I meant. It's like when people say to someone "you're the MAN". Nothing to do with being POTUS.

I'm pretty sure that is the reason Biden is still POTUS. No one wants Harris as POTUS, IMO.

It's not mysterious at all, but they don't want to admit that they don't know the answer so make out it's a mystery. Long ago either aliens lived on Earth and left or died out, or the slaves rebelled and killed them all, OR there was a species of way more clever beings than humans that lived long ago, and died out for much the same reasons humans are going to. I like the first option and believe that humans today are the descendants of the slaves.

Are you sure about that? There are more than a few politicians I suspect of being aliens hiding out.

I used to work on an orthopedic ward, and many of the patients were old ladies. I don't remember a single male with that problem. It's a simple fix with a replacement ball and a spike that goes inside the femur after the broken part is cut off. Does involve a serious operation though, which may be difficult for the aged. I never lost a patient due to the operation, though one did almost die after a bad reaction to post op morphine.

English is the only acceptable language on AN. Try again.

Legally yes.

Gee wizz, I should put on a dress and claim Trump raped me and get awarded 70 million $. Strange world we live in when an IMO politically motivated faux case is rewarded with an obviously excessive payout. I hope she gets zilch of it.

Brilliant. Now, perhaps Trump should sue the posters on here that claim he is a rapist.

If you are critiquing me I must be doing something right. Thanks for showing me that I'm on the right path.

Well, for sure he's not going to employ Kelly or Bolton, is he? He got dragged down last time because he didn't understand how devious the Washington establishment is and isn't going to get fooled again. Trump didn't have any political experience last time, but he's had 8 years to wise up. He knows what he wants to do and is employing people to help him with that, not stab him in the back. There will be no Democrat fake Russian dossiers this time and no Sessions traitors to let the wolves have him.

There was context? Well goodness gracious me, who would have known that?

I really, really like that. Has anyone seen her recently or is she still crying somewhere and refusing to come out?

I bet that in Thailand katoeys don't participate in female sports.

Singapore Chinese are not ethnic to the country. They were brought in by the British, and there is also a large Indian and Malay population. China has no realistic relationship to it.

It might take a while, but eventually, IMO, some people are going to perhaps think it was better when the former dictator was keeping the country sort of under control. Now it's all under the equivalent, IMO, of the Taliban. People should be careful of what they wish for, or whom they support. PS The US supported the "freedom fighters" in Afghanistan, the Russians left and we got 9 11 and stupid security checks when we fly.

If it agrees with my opinions It's hardly at fault itself, is it? I was speaking in general, not specifically. I'm sure you are aware that this is an opinion forum populated by old people ( like myself ) that don't always post according to your druthers. Jai yen, jai yen. Have a nice cuppa and a biscuit and chill. I wasn't aware that you were pedantic, but I might have to change my mind on that.

You might have a point if Biden wasn't in Lala Land. The rules also state that a POTUS has to be a functioning adult or removed, and if they don't they should.

Trump is the MAN! Not even inaugurated and in effect the POTUS already. Given that Biden is out to lunch and Harris has apparently vanished, someone has to do the job. World events don't go on hiatus just because there is a transition period in the US. Normally the current POTUS is still functioning, but, well we all know why Biden isn't doing much. Never has dead duck been a more appropriate description.
