Apparently in "good health", contrary to claims the prisoners were being treated badly. Certainly in better health than the Gazans killed the same day by israeli delivered bombs, likely provided by America. https://edition.cnn.com/2024/02/12/middleeast/israel-hostages-rescued-gaza-rafah-intl-hnk/index.html The hostages, 60-year-old Fernando Simon Marman and 70-year-old Louis Har, had spent 128 days in captivity. Both men are in relatively good condition and have since reunited with their families.

I agree. However, in politics there are no guarantees, and I can forsee the day when the US is forced to give the finger to zionist interference in US politics.

Trying to do so will backfire as it would likely evolve into Iraq version 2 or Afghanistan. The Americans must be sick to the back teeth of Middle East wars, and paying large for the two they ain't sending boys to ( yet ). It's not as though the conflict would be confined to Yemen either. What happens if Iran opens a second front against shipping on their coast? At some point even US warmongers will hit a wall. Also, I can't see Britain or the EU joining in. They have enough problems of their own domestically, and Yemen is far away. However, I'm 100% certain that Russia and China are gagging for the US to get bogged down in yet another bound to end badly adventure in the Middle East.

IMO no one is bored unless they want to be or are not able to self motivate. As for retirement, I love it. I love that no <deleted> is telling me what to do with my time, I love getting up when I want to, eating when I want to, doing what I want to and going to sleep when I want to.

and I don't care what anyone else thinks about it and you don't get to tell me what I can or can't post.

My belief comes from my Damascus moment. It doesn't require examination as it happened, and I accept it as my proof that God exists. There is absolutely no way you can disprove my Damascus moment. I was not on drugs, I was not drunk, I was not tired, I was fit and healthy ( it was a long time ago ), I wasn't a believer, and I wasn't looking for it. I have never suffered hallucinations under such conditions before or since.

Not that many times on here. The way the universe started is IMO entirely relevant as we that believe in God believe that God created the universe. Feel free to not comment on something if it bores you.

I think you are writing a load of <deleted>.

War is never clear or concise, and generally devolves to a man with a rifle grovelling in the dirt to try and not get blown up, and if future circumstances means the UK can't get spares or replacement planes from the US their carriers become irrelevant. Making their own planes means that situation can't arise. When did cost effectiveness mean a <deleted> in the middle of a war? 2/ If that is irrelevant why did you reply to any of my posts about making aircraft in the UK?

Seems the only option the US is not considering is taking the Houthis at their word and making israel stop killing Gazans.

I do so enjoy your humerous posts. I enjoyed this one so much I put a laugh emoji on it. Is it your contention that US presidents pick their VPs from people that will not have loyalty to them? Just asking.

LOL. Trump says something outrageous and the opposition has a tantrum. He used to say "lock her up" and he didn't do that either. IMO Trump is playing the anti Trumpers and the MSM for fools. He probably has a good laugh reading the rants that follow.

If I were the world's dictator I'd make anyone that wants a war, especially politicians, go serve on the front lines. I can guarantee a world of peace and prosperity would follow.

I'm not here to help Trump.

Prove it.

Wasn't that something Bush the younger invented to allow him to declare a couple of wars he shouldn't have started?

If you had left it at the first sentence I'd have given you a like. You can't possibly know if Trump is going to be convicted of anything. A giant block of ice from the sky could fall on him too, but I don't claim to know if it will happen.

IMO she is no alternative. Zero chance of winning IMO. DeSantis was an alternative, but he opted out, so as long as Biden/ Harris are the Dems candidates Trump is my only choice left. I don't want 4 more years of Dems obstructionism and media melt down, which means I don't want Trump to be POTUS, but when it's the lesser of two very bad choices one has to go with the less bad one.

Not so. Not that I've needed such myself, they apparently help those of short duration to last longer. I'd say he might have got the wrong size or been a dodgy brand. It's not actually a joke though as if the pressure isn't released for some hours it can cause serious complications. After my prostate removal I was given a device by the NHS to inflate the little guy which had rubber rings to put over the little guy to retain the blood. I tried it once but didn't like it and Cialis did the job after that. IMO the rubber rings are probably a better option than a metal ring.

and my question is why should anyone listen to you? We are all just anonymous posters, though some are more offensive than others.

I wasn't in the British military. Whether it was actually a real military law or not, it's a good policy to not leave temptation lying around, and I have endeavored to abide by it my entire life since then. PS. Even if was not an actual law, we could always be caught by the cover all situations law - "Conduct prejudicial to good order and discipline".

Unless he knows you personally, he can't not like or like you. He can like or dislike what you write though, which might or might not be the "real you". No one can tell if they would like or dislike me from my posts, as my posts are not the "real me", but they are my "on line persona", which is not to say they are untrue; they are, but I don't say that sort of thing to people I know. Especially so as no one I know is interested in the sort of things I write about on here. Also, the things I dream about, but would never confide in a living soul are completely different from anything I say or write. So, one could say that I have 3 different "me's", depending.

While I believe in the Big Bang, the material in the Big Bang came from somewhere. I also believe that like the Matrix in the movie, this universe is just the latest in an unlimited number of universes that were born, expanded, consumed by black holes and reborn in the next Big Bang. The question that unbelievers are unable to answer is where did the material for this ( and all the preceding universes ) comes from? Ergo they must believe it came from nothing, by magic, and if there is magic at work, there must be a magician- God. If I ask the question why? the best answer I can give is that God is waiting for the perfect universe to occur. For sure humans prove that this version is a fail.

Sooooooo, a newbie tourist to Thailand allows an unknown person to remain in the room while he went to sleep, and is surprised that the valuable items he left lying around were gone when he woke up! He'd have been better off renting an hotel room with a safe. Seems some people are too dumb to be allowed out of the house without a minder In the military if someone did that they would be charged with the crime of providing temptation.

I may not want her to be POTUS, but on that I agree 100%. Biden's problems are mounting at a great rate, and I'll be very surprised if he survives long enough politically to be the candidate in November. The Dems have to know in their hearts that regardless of the GOP candidate, a Biden presidency will not end well. IMO the only thing holding them back is lack of a candidate that can win to replace him.
