He made my life better when he ditched the IMO vile APEC disaster in the making. He also made a lot of young men's lives better by not starting any wars. If he wins and doesn't start any wars, he'll be a winner in my book. Finishing the wall would also be a good thing for the USA.

Trump MAGA supporters didn't just appear one day- they were created over time by Washington, and are so hostile to Washington and all who sail in her that they will even elect someone like Trump to burn it to the ground, after which they will dance and sing hallelujah that the wicked witch is gone. Seriously, asking why people voted for Trump without understanding why they did so is just <deleted> in the wind. To understand why they thought America today ( or in 2016 ) is/ was so bad that they had to elect Trump, just take a long hard look at Washington. Perhaps it's easier to see Washington's faults when not living in America, but I can certainly see the rot behind the edifice, and there is a lot of rot to be seen. Trump isn't someone that would have a hope of being POTUS except that Washington is so bad that someone had to be elected to attack it from within. Trump might have done better had not he chosen the IMO vile Sessions who abandoned his responsibilities and left Trump to the haters to try and destroy. If hell exists, Sessions is headed there IMO.

a/ That's debatable. IMO he was brilliant at upsetting the wokesters, and for me that's a victory. b/ Most people on here don't believe God exists, so God isn't coming to help you. c/ You and me both. IMO the bad joke will be unleashed on the world if he wins when he either dies of age related problems, or has to step down as too senile to continue and Harris is inflicted on us all.

It's just as well it was the israelis that killed them. If the Palestinians had killed 3 unarmed israelis under a white flag they would likely have destroyed half of the remaining undestroyed Gaza by now. Apparently it's only OK to kill unarmed civilians if it's israelis doing it. I wonder how the israeli apologists are going to cover for soldiers that deliberately killed 3 unarmed men under a white flag. Expect more but but but stories anytime soon.

A/ If israel is actually able to be destroyed by a few fighters armed with rifles and RPGs, Israel doesn't have a hope of survival anyway. Who has all the tanks, who has all the artillery, who has the airforce, who has the huge trained reserve, who has the gunboats, who has the guided missiles and the air defenses, who has the absolute support of the most powerful country in the world? If you don't know, it's not Palestine. B/ it's not possible to destroy Hamas unless you kill every man woman and child in Palestine and all those Palestinians outside Palestine as well. By now there is probably within the beating heart of every Palestinian an unquenchable desire for revenge against israel, and that will be passed down generation to generation. Kill every Hamas fighter and they will be replaced. The name may change, but the desire will be the same- revenge on israel. The whirlwind is coming. Some things are unforgivable and will never be forgotten.

Duh, That's what the inquiry has to determine.

They were probably worse in Berlin.

I have no idea why you think that. I have less faith in government than you do. Sooner we get an AI in charge and boot all the politicans the better IMO. An AI would do a better job IMO.

and you are going to volunteer to go get them from those countries, I have to assume. They are not hanging out in countries that are just going to hand them over, are they! Do you expect other people to do what you will not? Try to keep up about the hospitals. Most of them have been removed from service by the israelis and if the ones left operating dared to treat a Hamas fighter the israelis would use that as an excuse to bomb them- you know they want to, don't you? They probably have facilities underground to treat their wounded.

Good news. Expect it to get better.

Here is a poll to give Biden nightmares. This is from Harvard, not Fox or CNN. https://nypost.com/2023/12/16/news/majority-of-americans-18-24-think-israel-should-be-ended-and-given-to-hamas/ A majority of young Americans said they believe Israel should “be ended and given to Hamas,” according to a shocking poll. The survey, conducted THIS WEEK by Harvard-Harris polling, found 51% of Americans between the ages of 18 and 24 said they believed the long-term answer to the Israel-Palestinian conflict was for “Israel to be ended and given to Hamas and the Palestinians.”

I think they need to temper their ambitions of what a successful outcome might look like. Do they even know themselves, or are they just making it up as they go along? We know what happens when they don't get it right, as the Americans found out in Iraq, and they lost more troops after the "victory" than during the war. IMO the israelis thought they could drive them into Egypt never to return, but Sisi put the kibosh on that plan, and quite sensibly too. He knows what will happen if there is a huge refugee camp right next to the israeli border. I think I know what they want to do now, given their actions to destroy water sources and deny food and medicine, but I'm not going to say on here what that is. Whatever they thought they could do, will be negated by the willing volunteers for the resistance from most of the survivors of Gaza. Israel will be in perpetual war for generations- is that what they really want? Like it says in the Bible, sow the wind and reap the whirlwind.

For starters one doesn't drop dirty great bombs that destroy an entire building to kill one Hamas fighter, and one does NOT carry out collective punishment which is probably illegal and a crime under every law or statute ever written dealing with it. The best way to deal with such is to prevent it happening in the first place, for which one would need to go back to 1967 and do things differently. As that is impossible, IMO all israelis have to look forward to for the very long future is fear of the enemy that is just waiting for any opportunity to kill them in revenge for what they have done in the past 30 or so years, what they are doing now, and what they will do in the future. They should always remember that no matter how many Palestinians they kill now, millions live outside Palestine where israel can't touch them, and for every Palestinian child they kill, a dozen more want to take revenge for them. Never forget, never forgive.

You have nothing to apologise for. IMO it's just another invented reason to justify killing Palestinian children, for which there is not, and never will be, justification.

As a school boy I was in school cadets ( compulsory ) which gave us military training, such as handling a rifle ( 303 back then ) and drill. All preparing us for the next war.

Trained troops don't fire indiscriminately. Either they deliberately shot unarmed men under a white flag, or they are untrained incompetents. Your choice which.

Talk about poetic justice! Nothing accidental or mistaken about it. They were shot because the israeli troops thought they were Palestinian, and despite the lack of upper clothing to show they didn't have a bomb, and the white flag they were deliberately shot on purpose. netanyahu is "upset" about it, but only because they were israeli. Had they been Palestinian, he'd probably have given the shooters a medal for bravery. Not the first under a white flag to be shot by israelis either. Been watching the aftermath of the vile and despicable vandals after israeli troops left Palestinian homes with all the contents destroyed, on Al Jazeera. One day in the future, I don't know when and it could be decades in the future, israelis may come to regret what it's done now. Some things are so vile that they will never be forgotten and never forgiven.

Try talking to mental health workers that deal with them then. I don't care if you believe me or not. Bye

Yes it did. Plenty of cases of similar.

If she was working in a bar and had sex with an older farang it was prostitution. Of course one could claim that it was true love....................

Weed made an ex mate of mine go mental, and not in a good way.

Laws concerning prostitution are usually different from age of consent, as is the case in Thailand. There used to be no laws concerning such in LOS, or so I understood. Before my time, but apparently there were 14 year old prostitutes in Bkk and I imagine elsewhere. I believe it was the USA that made them introduce such, but that could be wrong. Just what I read long ago.

and The Avengers, of course.

Agent 99 was dishy.

Of course. Mandatory watching and no interruptions allowed. I visited the Blake's 7 show in London. They made one of the space ships from 2 hairdryers glued together. Anyone watch that Japanese historical drama series in the late 60's? I forget the name but involved a samurai riding around sorting the bad guys. Plenty of ninja warriors leaping out of the trees. I wasn't allowed to watch it as deemed too violent for the young boys I was lodging with- it wasn't violent at all, but their mother was a bit overprotective. Gidget was out then too and I had a crush on Sally Field. Not to forget The Monkees- great show, but they should never have made that insane movie ( not insane in a good way ).
