Iamfalang Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Imagine if in a certain country you could arrest for "fake" news. think back a few years... 150 million people would be in jail (50% or those who didn't vote correctly). then an executive order that inmates cannot vote. there's also a reason we don't live in any neighboring country......seems worse. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me when my Son was searching for a shop to provide/install marble counters in his new kitchen. We went into one outfit, looked at many different textures/colours etc. Son agreed for the manager/owner (not at the shop at the time) to come to the house to take accurate measurements. Later manager arrives at the house, dressed like a building labourer (nothing wrong with that), with womens shoes and full make up. But no effeminate behaviors or atitudes etc. They did the job, well organized, good work, reasonable price, all completed about 3 days later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetroGTAndrew Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 (edited) The BiB might be more gainfully employed prosecuting actual crimes rather that 'thought crimes'? Andrew Edited April 20, 2022 by RetroGTAndrew poor spelling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
