  1. Here we go again! Old men starting wars and young men coming home in body bags. I guess Biden just didn't want to miss out on starting his very own war.
  2. If he's a "bastard", America needs more "bastards", IMO. I see no need to be nice to people that invade a country ( not just the US ) without being invited, and expect to be looked after. They should stay home and fix their own problems. California and NY deserve to have them all, IMO, though a few thousand more could be sent to Martha's Vineyard.
  3. It's a zombie thread, but whatever. Trump is not extreme right wing, despite the lefty desire to taint him with that accusation. IMO he's on the slightly right side of the divide.
  4. Is that the sound of sabres rattling that I hear? With IMO nutters like that in charge it's all but inevitable that the nuclear clock just ticked forward a minute or two. In an invasion by either side, whichever side looks like losing is likely to go nuclear, else why have them at all? I knew a guy that served in BAOR and he said it was accepted that their life span was measured in minutes from the commencement of hostilities.
  5. That's being logical. Politicians being human are not logical. They make mistakes and in a nuclear armed world they can be serious. It only takes a madman ( and I can think of one in a small country with nuclear weapons ) to kick it off and next thing is Armageddon.
  6. Biden is losing the younger generation over his support of israel. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/dec/09/israel-hamas-war-ceasefire-young-democrat-voter Since the start of Israel’s war in Gaza nearly two months ago, outraged young Americans have been at the forefront of a growing Palestinian solidarity movement. They have led protests in Washington DC and across the country to demand a permanent ceasefire and to voice their disapproval of Joe Biden’s support for Israel’s military campaign, which has killed thousands of Palestinians, mostly women and children, and plunged Gaza into a humanitarian catastrophe.
  7. With opinions like that from the israeli side is it any wonder Hamas wants to do that exact same thing to israelis? If one goes around proclaiming that all of Gaza should be wiped clean of Palestinians, one can't complain if the opposition want to do the same thing to israelis. It amazes me how many israeli supporters think it's wrong for Palestinians to defend themselves against israeli oppression, illegal land theft, murder, destruction of infrastructure and collective punishment.
  8. There is probably less concrete above ground than below it! Don't be ridiculous. the concrete above ground is clearly visible in any photos of Gaza cities, though apparently most of it is now rubble.
  9. IMO the idea that an owner can have free dibs "just because" is an urban legend.
  10. That would depend on the owner. if he was a scumbag, why would they? There isn't anything to say they have to, but if he was a decent person and fed them, they might if they hadn't got bar fined. I stayed at a Pattaya bar/ gueshouse with a bevy of girls for rent, and one of the Brit partners was going on about how he could, but he was last seen getting dragged out by one of the other partners and getting beaten up in the street. So much for that day dream. I think the beater upper's Thai wife wasn't impressed though, as on my next visit, he had also departed for places unknown.
  11. Not just the audio. I sometimes have to look up the internet to understand what went on. Didn't work for one movie though as apparently the movie wasn't supposed to make sense!
  12. I use headphones, but sometimes still need subtitles. One good thing about DVDs is that they mostly have a DVD option.
  13. Apple!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Never ever!
  14. I'm still the babe magnet I always was, just need a bunch of pills I didn't back then. PS. What the <deleted> is going on with the emojis? Hardly any of them showing as images.
  15. while Antarctica’s known volcanism does cause melting, ????????????? https://www.auroraexpeditions.com.au/blog/active-volcanoes-in-antarctica/ At the moment, there are only two active volcanoes in Antarctica – Mount Erebus (due south of New Zealand) and Deception Island (south east of Cape Horn, South America). NB both on islands, not on the mainland. Erebus has no major glaciers on it and is NOT part of the icecap. There is a big glacier called the Erebus Ice Tongue, but it's not melting. It is floating and just gets longer till the end breaks off and floats away. I've spent a night sleeping in an ice cave at the end of that glacier. https://www.auroraexpeditions.com.au/blog/active-volcanoes-in-antarctica/ Edinburgh University compared satellite and database records, as well as measurements from ice-penetrating radar and geological information to find the hidden peaks of basalt rock. Ranging in height from 100m to 3,850m, the volcanoes aren’t known to be active, but could become active if Antarctica’s ice continues to thin with climate change. NB. NOT KNOWN TO BE ACTIVE
  16. The wall doesn't have to be built for the entire border, and the border patrol has to be paid for anyway, so not an added expense. Wouldn't be needed if they sent every illegal caught back over the border straight away, without the Mickey Duck legal BS. The message would soon get out, and attempts reduce significantly. Doesn't have to be the wall that Trump was building. Razor wire works, as long as the border patrol isn't cutting it to allow the illegals through.
  17. While it's far too early to be worth a d****, it's good news for the GOP, and all anti Biden voters.
  18. It was a yes or no question. No need to deflect.
  19. Since when was the president in charge of Capitol security? Next you'll be telling us the rubbish not getting collected was Trump's fault.
  20. You can keep telling yourself that, but it won't make it true.
  21. Someone keeps omitting to mention that something called covid had something to do with unemployment, and GDP.
  22. I disagree 100%. You need to prove that if you want us to believe it. It was a stupid idea promoted by Reagan, who apparently could hardly stay awake in meetings, and failed, as expected, after certain suspects minted it large. Reagan should have stuck to playing with his monkey.
  23. Pull the other one! I've seen him trying to speak on tv news and that's blatantly not true, IMO.
  24. From what I've seen on tv news, Americans in general are too "heavy" to be healthy, regardless of which party they vote for.
