Oh I really really believe that, not.

and where are those safer areas, pray tell? Rafa perhaps where they were told it was safe? https://www.odt.co.nz/star-news/star-international/israeli-air-strikes-intensify-southern-gaza Intense Israeli air strikes have hit the south of the Gaza Strip, killing and wounding dozens of Palestinians, including in areas where Israel had told people to seek shelter, residents and journalists on the ground said.

Seems that Trump really does live in some people's heads, because they just have to put a Trump putdown in most posts they write.

However very rich, so women will want to bonk him. Life is unfair.

If she was a prostitute the bar owners should be prosecuted too.

Once again city hall gets it wrong. Have they done anything right in the past 30 years? Walkway used to be great and everyone was happy with it, but city hall obviously doesn't like people being happy and just has to ruin things. BTW it was great in the mid 90's, not since.

So it's not true then. I thought so.

Shouldn't there be a time limit on threads? I came on here expecting something new, but it's a zombie thread.

I certainly do not think they take any measures to avoid harming non combatants, or 7,000 children wouldn't be dead. It is a long time since they had an actual enemy army to fight, and I know how a military without a real war slowly deteriorates to incompetence, having experienced that myself after Vietnam finished.

Humans are, IMO, a self destructive race, and will do everything in their power to exterminate themselves ( just look at how we destroy the environment and pollute everything ). The creation of autonomous fighting machines ( already happening ) and an AI more intelligent than humans will, IMO, see us gone and the planet will move on to the next dominant species.

More fools the other members of the EU that wanted them then. It's not a good idea to try and expand the unelected in Brussels' power base by inviting just any old country to join without checking them out properly first. Just the suggestion of having Ukraine join shows how ( IMO ) barking they are. So many things that would go wrong with that stupid idea.

I agree with that 100%. It has to be the reason they are so disappointing. Nixon, Bush the younger, Reagan, Trump and Biden were/ are exceedingly awful, and most of the rest were pretty useless. Carter was a good man, but apparently useless as POTUS and very unlucky with his military adventure. Johnson is a toss up- good on the domestic front, but a hopeless warmonger. I don't actually have an opinion on Bush the elder- at least he actually saw action in WW2 and was lucky to survive.

I don't know if that is serious or sarcasm.

Some here deny that israel is committing crimes against Humanity when it's obvious that they do. 7,000 dead children is obviously a war crime, yet some try to excuse it- sad that some are so blinded by hate of Palestinians that any amount of dead children is OK as long as no israeli children among them.

They were doing what they were doing before October 7 before Hamas existed. No reason to believe they would stop the oppression and land theft if Hamas disappears.

Whatever works.

The US seems to have a habit of putting up awful candidates. Can't think of a decent one since Kennedy, and even he was flawed.

Trump is a result of a broken America, not the cause, IMO. Before attacking him, look at the reasons anyone would vote for him, let alone millions. If the American Dream wasn't gone, and America broken, IMO neither Trump nor Biden would have got past a primary. I believe the American Dream is gone, but did it ever exist in reality?

You are fortunate then. The rich always have an unequal say, IMO.

No. You made a claim that was not stated as an opinion, so the forum rule applies. No link and it's not true. Any alleged factual claims must be supported by a valid link to an approved credible source.

LOL. IMO no politician has nothing that would see him/ her in trouble if exposed. They are just very good at hiding the bad stuff.

For a moment I thought the reply was from sirineou, so I was somewhat puzzled by the reply. I confess that I have never resided in the US, though I passed through it when a toddler, so I am unqualified to pass judgement on it personally, but going by the comments from other posters I think I'm safe to say I have no reason to go there. Otherwise, I have visited and lived in many countries, and other than Antarctica ( I know it's not a country, but definitely the best place in the world to live in ) the only country I really want to live in is Thailand. I've praised that fortunate country enough on this forum not to need to repeat the reasons. However, this is way off topic, so I'll leave it at that.

I do so enjoy your humorous posts. I enjoy them so much I will never put you on ignore.

What do you call 200,000 in one month? ( Link in previous post ) A trickle perhaps .

Thank you for your reply. I too favour more socialism, but no more than what NZ used to have when it was a better country to live in.
