Everyone's perfect wife/ GF is only that till they ain't, and if they ain't, you ain't been with them long enough to know. Even my wife was perfect for a year, and then she wasn't, though it took another 4 years for the true woman to emerge. It happened on the day I said "we have to economise".

I think it's more like a middle east/ Asian instrument. The bit with the tuning keys is different, the fret board is too wide and his right hand doesn't look like it's playing a guitar.

I call BS on the idea that we make our own existence. If it were true I'd be typing in LOS, not in the <deleted> place I am.

That was waaaaaaay back. I left and came back. Considering I've been posting on this thread quite a bit recently you must be confusing me with someone else.

Is that a picture of an aged Z Z Top guy remembering the good times?

I love watching the picture emerge. I have seen many before but not the fish one.

Hit your head with a brick and you won't be worrying about the fuzziness. Works every time.

If one believes in God the creator, as I do, God knows everything, ergo no growth once we are reunited with God after earthly death of the body. BUT, why would we need to grow? I doubt God functions mentally as we do, so IMO the question is pointless. As to whether our soul continues as an individual in the greater collective or not, I know not, but I expect to be finding out in a few years or less. It'll be a bit embarrassing if we do continue as individuals when everyone I knew here knows everything about me ( and vica versa ).

Are posters taking the OP seriously or just playing along?

Correct as far as it goes, but I doubt the US people will accept another land war against another large and well armed Middle East country. Especially so soon after the last disaster. As for carriers, fine if the enemy doesn't have hypersonic missiles or plenty of sub sonic ones. You said quite rightly "If they sent 50 or 100 at a time several are bound to get through and either sink or disable a ship or two". None of the trouble with the Houthis would have eventuated had Biden forced israel to ceasefire. Ergo this is a situation of Biden's making.

Looks like the US is going to suffer a war of a thousand cuts. Small isolated attacks on US forces and assets all over the world that are impossible to prevent.

What peace deal? It didn't result in "peace" whatever it was. His israeli policy was the only one I fundamentally disagreed with in every aspect.

I think we are already there. For all I know I'm the only live human posting on this forum as I've never met anyone else that does. Far as AI goes, most of the low level jobs in the community I live in have gone. I can Park my car in a parking building without paying a human to raise the barrier Do all my banking without talking to a human Buy my groceries without a human taking my money Fill my car without paying a human Do an educational course without seeing a human Buy a movie ticket from a machine and watch a movie without a human actor ( in a while the voices won't be human either ) Pay household bills without seeing a human. Buy goods without any human involvement, other than a postman, and once drones start not even a postman. Etc. Life used to be about human contact, but now it's possible to live only using machines, unless we want to be involved with other people in clubs etc. Are we better or worse off now?

I don't watch Fox. I wasn't commenting on her role as VP, but you know that. I was commenting on her ( non ) performance on her appointment to sort the southern border. It's somewhat puzzling that her current appointment is in charge of killing foetus's ( unborn people ) while she did nothing to stop born people invading the US illegally.

I think the point is as to why US servicemen should have immunity at all. I can't see any reason why they should.

Not only did they tell the US to get lost over that disaster, they wouldn't even let NZ use British machine guns there. Pity the UK became a US poodle in Iraq.

He also said to put her in jail. Would you be happy if he had?

That's correct which is why it makes sense to prevent them entering the US in the first place, so they remain in Mexico. Then Mexico would be required to wonder why they let them in at the southern Mexican border, and maybe stop them there.

Thanks for bringing him up. Should be interesting.

Nothing much to disagree with on that OP. Doesn't look good for Biden's re election campaign though.

Sooooo, if we talk about the ones we do know about, let's start with Vietnam- 50,000 dead American boys with nothing to show for it, Cambodia and Laos gone communist. Iraq- well we all know what a disaster that turned out to be and now they want to kick all the remaining US troops out. Afghanistan- a 20 year black hole and it's back under Taliban control. Now it's a spiral into yet another disaster in the making in the Middle East. Not much to be proud of, IMO.

Sure has ( cue drum roll ). Next step, let's invade Iran because they have been very bad boys, and deserve to be punished for not doing what the US tells them to do.

I never went a Tony's gym, but his nightclub on Walking Street was pants ( rubbish ).

I've always been happy for Pattaya to have a bad reputation. It keeps the KSR mob and families away- all good.

British newspapers that cater to the lowest denominator have apparently decided that telling lies about Pattaya makes economic sense. Been going on for many years now.
