I was on a baht bus when an Indian haggled the driver over the 10 baht fare, .

They must have been watching porn VDOs and think it's real life.

I remember when no one would dare take photos on Walking Street ( I was threatened with a baseball bat when someone thought I was going to ). That all changed when Chinese tour groups started being escorted through. Now VDOs of it are all over U Tube.

The west gets all the Congolese minerals that child labour digs out, so why care about it? ( sarcasm alert ). If China looked like getting them, expect it to become of interest suddenly. When it's only Africans dying, the west never has cared in the past ( or the present- just look at Sudan- another conflict over resources and a catastrophe of death and displacement that dwarves Ukraine- but ignored by western leaders )- I expect that to continue. The west wants Ukraine minerals, and don't want to have to buy it off Russia- need I say more?

Perhaps you should ask Lloyd George about that. Didn't Churchill lead a coalition government during the war, so it included the opposition?

If they are originally in English, yes.

Are petty insults all that you have? I thought you were better than that.

I suspect Trump will be getting an agreement to get all the raw materials before summer. It's the only way Ukraine doesn't have to ante up the cash.

You want to die and all your friends and family and everyone you know to die in the Russian response? Perhaps you think all the nukes are under Putin's bed or they won't be used by someone else in that event? IMO there are not enough nukes in the western arsenal to destroy all of Russia, so enough left to wipe out most of Euroland and part of the US.

It's sarcasm, LOL.

Was Dresden an atrocity? Was My Lai an atrocity? Was an American gunship killing unarmed Iraqis an atrocity? Atrocities happen in wars, both sides, end of. Go bait someone else.

Isn't it weird that a western woman has complete choice ( short of rape or being drugged ) whom she has sex with, but when it goes wrong they are never culpable and it's always the man's fault. I wonder if they are so enthusiastic if it's Joe the plumber, but I very much doubt it- no pay off with plumbers.

Without some context that post is just babbling incoherently.

Exactly!

I doubt that it was "full of transexuals" 40 years ago and I was there in the 70s- I didn't see a single one. Even now it's not "full" of them- very much a minority.

Unless an hermaphrodite, one is clearly of male or female gender at birth- boys have a penis and girls have a vagina. How is that "outlawing their gender"? When they grow up and become an adult, they can become anything they think they are, including a cat, but children should not be persuaded by adults to think they are not what their genitalia say they are.

I hadn't realised that you were fighting in MiddleEarth. I guess Zelensky plays Denethor then.

Unforgivable or not, all will be consigned to history in due course when Trump ends the IMO farce.

I agree they post a lot of nonsense and some only cut and paste.

Obviously a completely unbiased source. .

He's been doing so for some time.

HHS Issues Narrower Definitions of Sex, I came on expecting something along the lines of Clinton's denial of having sex, but I was disappointed to read that it's about gender. Anyway, despite the woke hysteria from the usual suspects, there ARE only 2 genders or "sex" if you will. Anyone can put on a dress and claim to be female, but it does not make anyone an actual real girl. Perhaps they should ask the Blue Fairy to make them a real girl, as that is their only hope. To be clear, I have nothing against any guy pretending to be a girl, if that floats their boat, or a cat or a llama, but don't expect me to pretend that they are. I notice that the furore doesn't extend to f to m, but perhaps that is because so many already dress like men, and are as feminine as a navvy.

While I despise Starmer so no desire to support him, it appears to me he only wants to send them as a peacekeeping ( the most ill used word in the English language ) force after the war stops. Russia will likely put an end to that nonsense.

That appears to be Percival, the "hero" of the Irish campaign and the most hated man in Ireland. Having done some research on him in the past, it is my opinion that he was the Japanese secret weapon in their assault on Malaya. I'm not alone in that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Percival even Percival's defenders describing him as "something of a damp squib".

Seriously? You apparently are not aware that without the US NATO would be as useful as a double happy against a tank. Use the French nuclear deterrent and kiss your ass goodbye. Perhaps the EU could create a decent military if it actually spent more than the 5% Trump is insisting on, and persuade some citizens to join up. As likely as snow in the Sahara.
