In Australia, Melbourne welcomes the Africans into the community and in return the Africans thank the public by crime, violence, home invasions, car jackings etc Shame on you Brits for talking bad about the AfricansSun, 28 Jun 2026 18:28:20 +0000Perhaps I expressed myself a bit poorly: I no longer recognize the moral authority of my country, because this conflict in particular has shown that Germany has learned absolutely nothing from its past. This became very clear once again at the last Federal Press Conference, where the spokespersons for the German government were questioned about exactly this UN report Here is a short transcript of the most important part. Anyone who watches the last few minutes of this video will see how Israelis feel about Palestinians. Simply disgusting. "We are aware of the report and we take it very, very seriously, but the Federal Government cannot adopt all of its findings and conclusions because we do not possess the same information." Journalist: "The report does not only describe the situation in the occupied territories and assess Israel's conduct, but it also calls upon all UN member states to stop arms shipments to Israel. Germany is a UN member, so is Germany—the Federal Government—considering following this call and halting arms shipments?" Answer: "I am not aware of any intended change in administrative practice regarding arms exports. As you know, we always operate within the framework of strict European and German legal requirements for arms exports and examine each individual case very closely for its impact." In other words: "we will simply ignore the report because we have no information of our own regarding the killing of children, because we have consistently looked away". Disgusting. However, since the historical sense of guilt that was emphasized throughout my upbringing no longer feels valid to me, I no longer view any group as requiring special treatment. I intend to treat all individuals with the same respect and kindness, unburdened by those feelings. The people I wish to distance myself from in the future, both professionally and privately, are those who support or condone the violence and actions against innocent children and for me, it does not matter whether these individuals are Jewish or non-Jewish. To be clear: I find the acceptance or support of the intentional killing of children to be fundamentally unacceptable and an abandonment of humanity."Sun, 28 Jun 2026 18:26:24 +0000Sun, 28 Jun 2026 18:23:36 +0000She's a working girl, the attractive ones have plenty of customers. She's busy planning her day, searching through her clientele to earn money, to support herself.Sun, 28 Jun 2026 18:19:48 +0000As the U.S. marks 250 years of independence, one party has become unrecognizable, acting like the same radicals during the Civil War,violent and threatening to tear everything down, No prison,No Police, No Borders. Turn of the century moderate policies have been replaced by a radical agenda, driven by the far left and cheered on by the international community. Democratic Party is ‘unrecognisable’ to its old selfSun, 28 Jun 2026 18:19:17 +0000Your Mishimaesque bushidō seems misunderstood - Traditionally it's your own sword you'd fall on - The one you're after is more readily found in Ni-chōme....Sun, 28 Jun 2026 18:15:59 +0000A new low, idiotSun, 28 Jun 2026 18:00:54 +0000You are so convinced of your imagined facts, that you are unwilling and unable to consider the actual facts of the cases you refer to. First the claim is made that a Conservative government appointed judge with a history of applying the law as intended was too "liberal". The facts of the case and the judge's history do not support that claim. Next you demand that the judge is too liberal because he applied the law as written. A judge does not write the laws. he applies it. The law has been on the books since 1986. Successive Conservative governments had an opportunity to change it if it was that "bad" of a law. The penalty that was applied was rather more strict than the penalties applied on similar cases. Next you go off on a tangent raising the Connolly case as if it was a harmless tweet that caused no harm. Well, it did, and she was held accountable for her attempts to incite arson and harm to others. Lucy Connolly, was charged on indictment with an offence of inciting racial hatred contrary to section 19(1) of the Public Order Act 1986 because of the following criminal message and her subsequent actions, “Mass deportation now. Set fire to all the f** cking hotels full of the bastards for all I care. While you’re at it, take the treacherous government and politicians with them. I feel physically sick knowing what these families will now have to endure. If that makes me racist, so be it.” She intentionally wanted to cause arson and bodily injury to others. The fact that the potential deaths were prevented, does not relieve her of responsibility for what she did. Your logic is like a person who fails at a murder demanding to be released because the target was not killed. The woman was inciting violence against people and it was a contributing factor to the ensuing Southport riots. Her post was viewed 340,000 times and reposted 940 times. People who were arrested for vandalism and violence admitted to having read the message and incited to act out. When she was investigated, she intentionally lied and attempted to blame others for what she had done. The penalty given was light in consideration of what the law set out in Part III of the Public Order Act 1986 which provides for a maximum penalty of 7 years’ imprisonment. The much mentioned 31 month custodial sentence only required that 12 months be served in custody.Sun, 28 Jun 2026 17:52:09 +0000I can only presume you have read a few books by Yukio Mishima, speaking of swords, knives and such.Sun, 28 Jun 2026 17:44:29 +0000Sadly more and more people spend most all of their time staring at a phone screen. Personally I find it rude to be having a meal or sharing time with anyone who does this constantly whether it is a gal or a guy. No desire at all to spend any significant time with rude people. It is their choice if they prefer to sit and watch mindlesss tik tok or instgram videos and ignore all the "real life" all around them. It is my choice to get up and leave. Find friends who have a bit of class and who are not suffering from mindless phone addiction and are willing to put the phone down and engage.Sun, 28 Jun 2026 17:41:36 +0000Hmm... yes, you don't strike me as the seppuku type. More the sort whose hara-kiri involves accidentally falling onto someone else's sword while insisting it wasn't what it looked like.... 🤫Sun, 28 Jun 2026 17:36:40 +0000Sun, 28 Jun 2026 17:34:08 +0000Sun, 28 Jun 2026 17:33:44 +0000Sun, 28 Jun 2026 17:33:20 +0000Sun, 28 Jun 2026 17:33:03 +0000Moved out of visa forum. Changed title.Sun, 28 Jun 2026 17:30:43 +0000Value over volume; A lovely sentiment. Until, Thailand actually undertakes the measures that attract those increased high value visitors, it will continue to be the playground for much of the world's undesirables who cannot afford or who are blocked from visiting the better quality destinations.Sun, 28 Jun 2026 17:30:32 +0000Sun, 28 Jun 2026 17:29:53 +0000Trolling posts removed. @Nemises That's the 2nd time with the same message. Knock it off.Sun, 28 Jun 2026 17:27:22 +0000You and I both know that you never read, nor saw evidence of an acknowledgement that the school was specifically targeted.Sun, 28 Jun 2026 17:27:15 +0000I stayed in Da Nang for a few weeks, and honestly was bored. There is also alot of construction going around the place, and it really wears you down. Alof of people recommend it due to budgetry issues. It can be cheaper.Sun, 28 Jun 2026 17:25:31 +0000
