That is rich coming from the head of the worlds largest pedophile ring... the same guy who paid millions of dollars to get a child rapist out of jail and flown back to Rome so he could go free

No idea if it's something I would like watching, but props to the animators. That has to be some of the most expressive facial animations I've seen in a long, long time

I don't A bit busy today, so I might not give you a better until (i.e. more than two lines or a clever remark) later today or tomorrow

@BruceVC let's look at your question then... would people who identify themselves (as opposed to those labeled as such by e.g. Murdoch media) commit crime, or did in fact commit crime? Would you label BLM as a group of criminals if say 50% of them committed crimes? 10%? 0.05%? Would you hold politicians to the same standards? Are they all criminals if say 10% of them commit crimes? Should say Proud Boys be forcefully dismantled and locked up if more than 25% of their members have a criminal history? Should all Republicans go to jail if one of them committed a crime? I honestly don't see the point of the question unless it's to further some as of yet unknown narrative (or bias confirmation).

Peace for our time! https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-61801682 After almost 50 years, Denmark and Canada has agreed to the terms of a peace treaty to end the war over Hans Island. Aka the "Whisky Wars" Tl;dr; both countries would take turns sending in their navy to land troops, place a flag, a bottle of booze (Canadian Whisky and Danish Schnaps) and sometimes written notices, on the island... for 49 years. "...Over the following 49 years, dozens of Canadians and Danes took part in the ritual and visitors to the island describe a sea of slightly tattered flags and notices." I noticed that the two countries forces left the flags behind and only took the booze bottles as "war trophies" "The deal will be signed once both countries grant parliamentary approval and will see the island split along a naturally occurring cleft on the rocky outcrop, according to a deal published by the Danish foreign ministry on Tuesday. Once signed off, Canada and Denmark will have established the world's longest maritime border at 3,882km."

Awww... just look how hard it is to do a bit of private enterprise in those socialist northern countries. No free market economy there

I remember this one from my teenage years... lots of memories of drunken parties letting loose to this As a curiosity, Ram Jam didn't invent this song, it has a longer history than the 70's https://americansongwriter.com/behind-the-meaning-of-the-song-black-betty-by-ram-jam/ "The original song, “Black Betty,” started as a work song, sung predominately by Black people in the early 20th century. "

In an ideal world (not that there is anything ideal about this war), yes. But some things take on a life and a momentum of their own once you start it. The hand that sets something in motion can't always stop it. E.g. Hitlers Germany (because, we haven't used him as a reference for several pages I'm sure) didn't really have any other option than war. It doesn't make sense to sensible people, but once you start a movement along a certain trajectory, especially when relying a lot on nationalism as the tool to mobilize popular support, you also have to follow through with your declared intentions. Whether it be German "Unification" or restoration of the old CCCP. If you slow down or even stop, the crowd gets restless and you (the despot/autocrat) lose control.

Strange... I could have sworn this was what you said You apparently know way more about Nicholas John Roske than the combined world press, as no quote worthy source has identified any political affiliation of the guy. Just a nutcase on medication, being mad about school shootings and the potential trip back to the stone age socially by reversing Roe vs. Wade. But... he was probably hired by the BLM top secret global head quarters to carry out the assassination

You were implying they have bigger problems than those who wants to do away with congress and democracy. Two important parts of the identity of the US. You could argue street violence, gang wars and high crime rates are part of it too, but those don't directly threaten the above the same way the far right does.

There, fixed it for you....

Ooh, kinky!

Crazy Rally moments...

Sitting and staring at the cds with two of my old games. Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield Vietnam. They are the original cds from around 2004. I wonder both if the discs still work and whether the games will run on 64 bit windows 10

My first summer in Australia was after moving from Wellington (NZ) to Adelaide (South Australia). Say hello to 5 weeks of 44C-46C degrees (111F-115F) Queensland has better balanced weather though (IMHO). Less excessive heat in summer (very humid though) and less frigid in winter. Adelaide was close to 0C C(32F) at night every now and then in winter, I suppose that's part of having effectively desert climate. Where I live now it's more like 10C-22C (50F-72F) in the winter and 20C-32C (68F-90F) in the summer (typical night and day values, extremes happens of course). It's like a little "Garden of Eden" here with the subtropical climate

I seem to have acquired a spontaneous case of dyslexia... I keep treading that title as Penitent

Drummers are a bit... different?

Could you make an "executive summary" for those of us blocked by the pay wall? Not cutting pasting it all of course (they need to make a living too), but just some key points?

Drums and bagpipes... what's not to love?

Welcome to the time machine... aka retro tech. When the compact disc was new and revolutionary (1982)

Hehe, yeah. Playback Denied: Location Error Code: PLAYER_ERR_GEO_RESTRICTED I'll save it for later. I do have VPN on my desktop PC

Which frankly makes perfect sense when you're the one doing all the dying on the ground...

Can anyone really understand what communist China has against democracy? It works well for Taiwan... Or even "Western Style" democracies like the UK and Australia... Representing your voters... indeed! South Africa too... just for Bruce I think democracies have more fun than totalitarian countries Edit: There are better Australian Parliament MMA videos on Youtube, but they were age restricted

I was slightly wrong about one minor detail... it wasn't *all* paid by the tax payers, as one party invitation was "bring your own booze" (per written testimony by witnesses). Still, I'm sure they can get tax and duty free booze somehow in their jobs

He never did it himself. It took all the first hand witnesses summoned by the inquiry to build a case against him (and found him guilty of lying). But then, what would you expect from a PM that would lie to the Queens face, to get democracy suspended for 5 weeks before a Brexit vote
