Re: Higgenbotham's Dark Age Hovel

Probably there are many people who would look at the photos of the apartment units around my former Dark Age Hovel and conclude my neighbors are simply pigs who need to clean up their act and there are no excuses. Maybe so. The stench of pot permeates the air nearly every time I walk to and from th...

Re: Higgenbotham's Dark Age Hovel

Japan is inviting in skilled workers.
To say that we are not inviting in skilled workers is perhaps the understatement of the century.
But at least most of our "newcomers" have dark skin, which is, after all, more important than absolutely anything else.

John, Navigator, (anyone), Does this have China's fingerprints on it? https://www.foxnews.com/politics/us-military-begins-process-remove-troops-niger Looks like a new government is in place and money is changing hands. https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/niger-china-sign-crude-oil-mou-worth-...

Re: Generational Dynamics World View News

Not now, so your sentiment is generally correct. Here's the thing, there's obviously only so much Mr. Trump can control (they did kick him out after all). I think he gets back in and then they sabotage him again - in 2026. That's my current prediction. Trump has been burned once, but I don't think ...

Re: Generational Dynamics World View News

So Iran has just launched an attack against Israel from its own territory, no proxies, no intermediaries, just "FU Israel" and "FU Biden" (because he asked them nicely not to before they did it).

My question to this forum is - does anyone think this would have happened if Trump was president?

Re: Generational Dynamics World View News

How is Israel going to survive in the ME with so much hatred dired at them? Even the Turks have abandoned them. I always respect Navigator's viewpoints, but I'm even happier when he validates my beliefs. Israel's only option is to completely ignore all of the hate thrown their way. To do otherwise ...

Not confused. You just believe you are Daniel Webster and can define a word to have one unique and binding meaning.

Re: Inside China’s controversial mission to reinvent the internet

Wow, this is fascinating! China seems to be proposing a major overhaul of the internet, with more control for governments. It's interesting to see a tech giant like Huawei leading the charge. I wonder what the implications would be for individual freedoms and the open nature of the web we're used t...

Re: Defining Terms

None of our current crisis issues are particularly lethal, at least until you come up with a definition of sentient that would apply to the first two trimesters. Your suggestion to use "sentience" as a criteria to justify abortion is not catching on. In fact, I haven't seen anyone else suggest that...

Re: Generational Dynamics World View News

Given a choice between Israel and Taiwan, America will choose Taiwan. I'm certainly "speaking out of school," and I welcome the comments of Navigator and others, but I think we're taking about apples and oranges. I have the feeling the US military could (if unrestrained) defeat the entire middle ea...
