Trump-vs-XI: “The Winds of War”. Are they now inevitably blowing our way?
Not really. Taiwan is an independent nation. -

Trump-vs-XI: “The Winds of War”. Are they now inevitably blowing our way?
I read the book The Rape of Nanking, and I'm currently reading Retribution. Retribution describes the horrors the Japanese inflicted on the people of the Philippines. The people of the Philippines let the past go, but Chian can't seem to get over it. -

How many people actually know the real history of Ukraine and Zelensky?
I bet Gilbert Doctorow is hurt, deeply hurt, that you are stealing his entire 1,039-word article without attribution. At least you retained his misspelling of "narcistic" so that counts as something, I guess. -

Children addicted to smartphones
It makes me sad when I see a family out for dinner and they're all looking at their phones and not talking with their parents. It's probably the same at home too. It was bad enough when I was a kid with TV and computers but this is a whole new level. At lease TV you would watch together but now it's a screen per person and everyone is totally disconnected. -

Children addicted to smartphones
I don't have rug-rats. If I did, they would be limited in their phone exposure. Giving kids phones today is the same as putting your kid in front of a TV set was decades ago. Same same. It's to get them out of your hair and keep them quiet. In my day and age, my parents kicked our butts out the door and told me to play. Then they provide enough things to make it interesting: balls, bats, bows, arrrows, BB-guns, bikes, wagons, and they also taught us games to play - tag, hide and go seek, hop-scotch, jump-rope, stop-light. Or gave us money to go to the Saturday matinee at the theater if we'd been good kids, or sent us off to the pool. Considering I lived my youth on military bases, we always had access to that sort of stuff. If parents weren't so freaking lazy, they could teach their kids these things to. Or do stuff together like going fishing. But they don't. Maybe you can't blame them - they spent their youth in front of a TV set. Now the kids get phones. It's not the kid's fault. But they'll be the one's suffering in the end.
