  1. I see now why some people are against trump, they are just as thick as all those lefties....
  2. I understand that calling someone 'racist' used to be a way to silence someone. But now the tides have changed, as people realized that races do exist, and that it indicates the type of culture a person was subjected to in his upbringing...
  3. If they stayed home and fought for their country, they would not be "refugees". The common sense of Trump understands that....
  4. Just that many people use the same type of argumentation to try to negate the damage that tobacco does to people...
  5. Thanks, great videos... I have been following the rules of Anthony Robbins for years... Simple terms, easy to understand, no drugs, sometimes referred to as 'medication'... ''Make some 50% of your food fresh fruit and vegetables. Meaning not even cooked..." Permanently... In sync with this doctor's view, as explained at 4 min in his video. "Permanent change in a lifestyle, the way you eat". But then how to distinguish healthy food from the poison on our tables. Healthy eating: Focus on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins, while reducing processed foods, sugary drinks, and unhealthy fats. Taking medication to control diabetes while eating poison food is a good way to fail. 1.- Processed food, eliminate 2.- Sugary drinks, eliminate, as they are laced with 'refined sugar', the poisonous one. Sugar from fruit, not a problem. It is natural. Eliminate all sources of refined sugar. 3.- Avoid unhealthy fats, must start with using only good oils, not from seeds, like canola for example. Olive oil, coconut oil are the main good oils.. Nearly all the food cooked in Thailand contains unhealthy components. The main flavoring of food in Thailand is the addition of refined sugar, as no one knows how to properly cook food here. And one important source of this refined sugar is inside the bottle of sauces, that are all ubiquitous on cooking tables of restaurants, bought in food stores. So start by eating food that you cook yourself. With no processed meats, no refined sugars, no bottles of sauces, and no unhealthy oils. As one of my good friend from back home said one time, "I thought I was eating healthy". When we found out that all (a challenge to find food with no added refined sugars) the food here contained refined sugars, that we thought we were avoiding... Eating poisons and taking meds after, is not the way... Good luck...
  6. I would think that what is to get immigration rules based on clear objectives, instead of silly requirements designed to produce more and more papers in the immigration process. And to get someone in every IO to be responsible to make decisions, based on whether the individual showing up at an immigration point would contribute to the main objectives. Now the system is designed for clerks who look blindly at paper works, no objective in mind. So eliminate the refusal of individual at an immigration point, who has documentation of 15 years of an income way above the requirements, but in one instance, one piece of paper is missing... Clerks at work. Literally blindfolded, and feeling all powerful to make a decision, based on papers, not on objectives. An officer at a bank in my country, quick look at a banking history and credit history, can make a quick decision. An officer that person is. Clerks have a purpose, but they do not wear a uniform that would indicate a decisional power.
  7. Oh well, The damage to the US created by the failed Left wing ideology is so deep rooted in all facets of the economy, that fixing it is a larger task than anticipated. Just never vote again for any Democrat style of governing, and hope for improvements. No other solution available. Out of these millions of US citizens, Trump was the one chosen. Lucky to have anyone wanting such a job, certainly not to be found here, the forum of complaints and vitriol.
  8. Way to go Mr. President. The people voted for you, to enact right wing policies, to replace the failed left wing ones.. And the left wing will still try to stop the better policies to be implemented. Now is the time for families to take care of their own, instead of relying on government programs. Nos is the time to reduce the size of the government, against the failing strength of democrats under left wing policies. I was there, reduction of the bureaucracy always failed, because bureaucracy protects itself. The bigger it remains, the bigger the salaries at the top. The people voted for a right wing government. The left should step aside, and let the people see the results that they voted for....
  9. OPINIONOPINION, Opinion|Donald Trump The first honest American president Trump’s shameless corruption is not a deviation from American history but its fulfilment. Every era of American government has had its scandal. Trump’s innovation is to make scandal itself a governing philosophy. Although it is tempting to see the Trump regime’s corruption – its open profiteering, its use of the state as an instrument of vengeance and self-enrichment – as a perversion of American democracy, the truth is more unsettling: it’s a mirror. The difference between Trump’s era and those before it is not the presence of corruption, but its visibility and the nation’s collective incapacity to feel scandalised by it. And..... Trump is flaunting his corruption. Is it changing what the US ... The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com › us-news › sep › trump-f... Sep 27, 2568 BE — “People say, well, if it were really corrupt, it would be hidden. It's a false assumption, but many people have it. It's a new theory of scandal .. Finally, the US got an honest President... and effective...
  10. If one replaces one word in this, it would still be true... "Your country is becoming more Arab-(African)" is just another way of saying your government is becoming much more corrupt. And then Obama came along. Might not have been as effective...
  11. Great post. I can add a bit more if I may... On this "Neither an introvert or an extrovert.". Being one or the other stems mainly from genetics, how our brain works. An "extrovert" is at ease talking with many people at a time. He is comfortable with making mistakes while talking, as he simply learns from those, from the reaction of the listeners. Politicians come from this group. An "introvert" is at ease talking with one or 2 people at a time, as he gets uncomfortable and confused, if he makes a mistake, shown by the reaction of others. But in a group of 10 people for example, he will regain a level of comfort, as he is able to focus on only one or two people from that group. So an introvert is more likely to have this 'fear of public speaking'. Ways of learning. Extrovert. Learning while speaking. Like a politician. Does not care a bit about being called names (smile). And many extroverts might gladly join a protest group, without knowing anything about the subject matter. Introvert. Tendency, depending on his surrounding, to do his homework, before voicing opinions... Might become an intellectual.. The more an introvert learns, the less this introversion characteristic can become apparent. And given the polarization of ideas in this world, hopefully introverts will be studying subject matters while extroverts are out on the streets. (smile). And these 2 characteristics are compounded by the notion of people being either 'visual', or 'auditive', or 'kinesthetic', which will affect also the way information is processed. But I will not describe these, as off the subject. And on this part of your post: "I simply value my 'alone time'"...... I read recently that people, as they age, get a lot more protective of their time, (or should). Staying away from small talk. Concentrating less on family, more on just a few good friends, with whom you share values and thoughts, and ideology perhaps.. Indistinguishable from being an 'introvert' for any 'extrovert'. Socioemotional Selectivity Theory: This prominent theory suggests that as people perceive their time horizons as limited (which often occurs with advancing age, though not strictly at age 70), they shift their priorities. They tend to invest less time in future-oriented goals or casual social contacts and more time in emotionally meaningful pursuits and close relationships
  12. Well, here is an Algerian doing a good deed.. But then: Japanese citizens: In 2023, there were approximately 39,000 Japanese citizens living in Germany, with 2 suspected of violent crimes. Algerian citizens: During the same year, there were approximately 25,000 Algerians living in Germany, with 1,729 suspected of violent crimes. Interpretation: This data indicates a significantly higher rate of violent crime involvement per capita for Algerians compared to Japanese citizens in Germany. It's important to note that these statistics only represent suspicions and may not reflect actual guilty... Ah these statistics. But I had some Algerians friends. They locked everything. When I asked why, they replied, because if you do not in Algeria, you come back and everything is gone.... Sounds like a reliable source of information...

  14. Yes, and??? So just replace 'silent majority' for a given situation, with another word, related to religion, ideology, or otherwise, and it could help you understand. So yes, at a given time, it was the Christians whose silence was deafening... And this is why Brigitte Gabriel makes this analogy about silent majorities being irrelevant...
