Bambu you are a lazy hypocrite and a coward. You will not even defend your own family such as it is.

Your credibility is way down in my book. Way down.

Defend my family?
Not allowed to have guns, so I got us into a villa in a gated community with security night patrols...'crim safe' locks and metal screens on windows and doors.
The Village owns the villa, we own the money.
Given free rein I would have fences, gates, alarms, bright lights.
In your book my credibility was never way up anyway. lol

Sounds like you wanna live in a prison

Indeed.
Ever tried breaking into a prison and attacking the residents?

Ever wonder why everyone in prison wants out?

Sure, must be horrible...
...but in my world you have a remote...and at the push of a button the gates open and you just walk or drive out.
You can stay out all night too, there's no roll call.
All week, all month etc...just like living on the outside.
Peace, love, harmony, and friendship are encouraged on 'the inside'.

We have come a long way since the Pullman Railroad Strike of 1894. People used to work hard just to get deeper in debt, guys like Eugene V. Debs helped to make things better. And labor leaders like Jimmy Hoffa, and Cesar Chavez. Then we also had good Presidents like FDR. We have come a long way in the USA. Now we need to teach Mexico and Colombia and El Salvador and the Philippines, and others, what we learned.

Salute,

Tony V.

More than 11,000 TV and film writers strike over wages in the US

#####

Often it's the only way to get an increase.
Just gotta be careful not to strike one's way out of a job, though.
It basically has to be 'all in'.

I went through a dark period for a while where I felt worthless, I could not get a job, and I just felt like a bum, so I joined Kiwanis International, and I was able to meet the City Council and many local business owners, and I was able to meet the Chief of Police, etc, and we all worked to improve our community. The best way to pull out of depression is to join a charity group and get busy helping other people. Kiwanis International is global, and everyone is welcome to join. And right now there is a huge need for help because of the problems in Ukraine.

Salute,

The writers are the smartest people in Show Business. Right now they cannot even afford a 2 Bedroom house in Burbank for the average writer.

There is a movie "The Last Tycoon" which warns the Producers not to mess with the Writers.

Today marks "World Press Freedom Day" - SkyNews.

Lovely.
I'd be very, very careful from where I tried to exercise this freedom...and what exactly I did, said and wrote.
One can wind up dead or imprisoned for life.

Aussie Julian Assange was just shown in a video clip during the segment about this Day.
He was holding his Gold Medal. Then put it around his neck.

2011
The Sydney Peace Foundation has awarded its Gold Medal for peace with justice to WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange.

#####

There are US politicians who wish to put Julian Assange in one of their chambers of death...walk him in alive, then wheel him out dead.
He should not have messed with US national security, US military classified docs/info....and put lives at risk...that was a very bad thing to do...he should've known better.
The People don't have the right to know everything.
No death chamber for Julian Assange...no death chamber for anyone. Prison sentences should be the only penalty.

Your credibility is way down in my book. Way down.

Please explain what you mean, exactly...as I don't understand.

You keep saying your nation is weak, undefended and perpetually immanently at risk yet you have not attempted to enlist in your armed services to defend her. For shame!

I now have a hard time believing you are ever sincere about anything.

The country doesn't need me, an elderly man with a bad heart and poor eyesight, in the armed forces...it needs nuclear weapons in the armed forces.
Ready to fire at the first sign of attack ones.

At a conference today a woman shouted at my Defence Minister:
"We don't need nuclear subs, Marles, we want hospitals and public housing."
Yes, the old "chestnuts"..."schools, hospitals, and public housing".
Seems everyone wants a free house these days.

Number of unemployed in bambuworld on the dole 921,000.
Record job vacancies...
. Cleaning
. Cafes
. Farms
etc

The term "job snobs" is being used.
Left seems not big on forcing unemployed folk into work.
Unemployed folk vote.
Seems to be intent on importing migrants to fill the vacant jobs instead.

*

If they get desperate I could work for the armed forces from home...firing missiles.
Punch the codes in and 'fire'...using the computer they would install for me.

On the issue of making our trains safe, Metrolink needs to hire guards from Homeboy Industries, the guys from Homeboy need the jobs, and when I worked at The Broadway department store in Pasadena we used to hire former gang members to work security for us and they did a great job.

Good idea.
The 'knock em down, drag em out, shoot em if necessary' style tough guys would be best to hire. Shooting as a last resort of course.
There's too much pussy-footing around with violent thugs in the West today.

Mass shooting at medical centre in Atlanta.
Obviously there have to be physical barriers preventing people from just walking into medical centres and killing/severely wounding innocent people.
