140 years later, Belgium apologizes for their kidnapping and mistreatment of the mixed race children of Belgian-colonial Africa.

I wonder how long it will take Trump and/or America to apologize for their inhuman actions of the last couple years toward the children of Central America.

Trump's being confused about "Jewish People" and "Israelis" is perfectly understandable..
Israel after all is "The Jewish State".

Your apologism is duly noted.

Speaking as a Jewish person, I disagree. 40% of the world's Jewish population lives in the United States.

I wrote about 'deep and meaningful ties to Israel' and 'Sons and Daughters of the Star of David' but it got canned by the censor.

It was probably between horrible and stupid, Bambi. It was probably for the best.

Shit.
Fuck.

I think it was not the censor, as this program is not running one, and more likely that you screwed up your post all on your own, but presume it must be somebody else's fault. As usual.

Going anywhere near "Jews" "Palestinians" "Jewish State" "Israel/Israelis" is like buying a ticket to ride the NYT "Middle East" forum express.
A very bumpy ride.

Israel's new fence is just what's needed in America...Trump should get one the same.

Surely no one's going to try to tell me that the Jewish population who live in the US have nothing to do with Israel, physically or mentally.

Pretty much, Bambi, we've given up trying to tell you anything. There seems to be no point to it.

No point to it?
That's because of what you're trying to tell me.

The Vegans are at it again today, ...raiding farms, scaring dairy calves into harm, chaining themselves to posts, and blocking city roads.

"Killing animals at an unsustainable rate"?

But isn't that what the 'climate change' lot want [Paris agreement?]...to 'reduce the herds' because of the methane gas?

The Belgians also apologized for their role in the assassination of Lumumba and for King Leopold’s reign of terror from 1880 sumthing to 1908. I always wonder why Leopold isn’t mentioned in the same breath with Hitler.

I hope we are in a position to apologize and atone for our nation’s sins in January 2021.

Yes, exactly.

Anything that disagrees with your #1 radio host's erroneous positions cannot be heard by you. It could be raining, but if he said it was dry out, you would go happily without a raincoat and insist that you had not gotten wet.

You will, of course, deny this.

But nobody gives a fuck, Bambi.

The Trump administration refused three US Reps - Congresswomen - admission to a child detention center, illegally.

You're trying to tell me that CO2 is destroying the planet...when it's not a pollutant, is only 0.04% of the atmosphere, and only 3% of that CO2 is man-made.
No1 radio host and arafura-ilk are not buying what you're selling.
We reckon [man-made] "climate change" is a hoax.

And we don't like the Opposition Leader's [Leftist] Electric cars policy either. "50% of cars by 2030 must be electric".
He said on FM radio the other day that it would take 8 to 10 minutes to charge an electric car "depending how flat it was"...try 8 to 10 hours.
The cheapest electric car costs about $50,000 'on the road'.
Many people said they won't buy one.

Thank you for illustrating my point perfectly.

Try breathing CO² and telling me whether it's healthy for you.

Where something is determines what level of hazard it represents. There are many things with a concentration lower than CO²'s that can do a lot more harm to you than that.

You and your ilk, in your aggressive ignorance, have a good chance of destroying human civilization more than the CO² will. You're so sure that the thousands of scientists who disagree with your position are trying to pull one over on your plucky billionaires and the oh-so-wise radio hosts of the world.

The reasoning about man's contribution to the total CO² being too small to matter has been smashed flat for more than a decade. Here's one approachable article on the topic, but I doubt you will believe it - like I said, if it disagrees with your beloved ex-radio host, you cannot accept it.

It's a wonder you ever take a vaccine.

[facilitatorn]

Bambi, you won’t need one. Just surround that toilet you post from with a spiffy new fence.

Larry, I hadn’t though about how Leopold and Hitler stack against each other. That I hadn’t gives me food for thought. I’m familiar with the outline of the story so know Leopold gained admission to the deeper circles of hell.

Josh, you are an exemplar of forbearance. I’m glad to be part of your cat herd.

I have every vaccine going.
Everything from flu to polio.
Had a whooping cough booster couple of years ago...respected doctor said on tv that she had one...because if older folk caught it they could cough so badly they could break ribs, not sure if spine too.
