Col - you are one sad, miserable git (my opinion) and most people don’t think like you so it will be appreciated if you don’t imply they do

Oh, and those pictures have nothing to do with Charlie thingy.

IF you had bothered to open AB's 2nd video in the above post, you would have heard the crowd chanting "Charlie" and showing the picture, not of King Charles but of Charlie Kirk. You are either not being very intelligent at the moment or you are knowingly lying through your teeth for the purpose of provocation. Having dealt with you and your rants before, I unfortunately am fairly sure it is the latter. Sometimes, Col, you come up with some good points. This does not appear to be one of those times.

'Mama'? How quaint. In the UK we have a 'Mum'.

In the USA deep south where I was born, it is 'mama' and such women usually rule the house with an iron hand. If your dad was worse than you are with potty mouth and disparagement, then I know why you present yourself as you do. But, oddly enough, your revelation about your father means we have some things in common after all. My father was often foul-mouthed and racist. But I learned that hatred and verbal diminution are not good talents to demonstrate. You should perhaps grow up a bit and learn that lesson for yourself. What you are showing now is NOT a good look for anyone with even just a modicum of intelligence.

I am hoping to one day have a chance to forgive you because, despite my current non-religious beliefs, I long ago learned that forgiveness is a powerful force for good. At the moment, I find it hard to forgive you for your overt hatred displayed against a USA widow and a USA political activist in the way you display it. If you are looking to use that razor-sharp wit of yours for self-aggrandizement, it's time to sharpen the razor because right now, you are falling flat.

I never open any videos or click on any links in any forum or text or email. I trust no-one, especially if they are foreign.

That explains the reason for your lack of information about Charlie Kirk. But nevertheless, the evidence is in AB's post, waiting to be seen.

That's overly cautious, but that is a great habit for email and texts. I have never been burned by forum post video's or links, so I'm not scared to click on them. You have nothing to fear here.

 

[AccessBlaster]

It's a good way to never be confronted by evidence "sorry I don't open links" end of debate.

Most people don't care what happens in the USA.

You seem to be obsessed with it? More than I am, anyway - you're quite interested in cowboys, guns, SUVs and hamburgers, if I recall correctly.
You're more interested in USA culture than I am, and I live here

Isn't this The second major murder committed by a transgender person in the space of about 2 weeks? Between this and Nashville it seems to be getting quite common

That is because the talking heads keep telling trans people that the rest of us want to kill them because we don't want men in our young girls' dressing rooms.

Tyler, the assassin, lived with a trans room-mate but was not himself identified as transsexual.

I suppose there is a mild fascination with the USA. I think its the way Americans live and things they say, like Trump said he could end the Ukraine war in 2 days or 2 weeks or whatever. Now a year almost in office, its worse than ever. Then there's the Americans here, going on and on about their boring politics, batting comments at each other each trying to get one over on the other yet nobody comes up with a credible solution. It's just funny
Yes, the Americans love of guns is a total mystery, and those here with guns say they would happily kill an intruder. SUV's are big ugly things. But, I do like hamburgers, especially McDonald's.

Trump's estimate regarding the end of the Ukraine conflict just proves he's human and can underestimate something. If I may offer a guess, he thinks like a business man and has trouble with folks whose aspirations are entirely political - or dictatorial - but not primarily monetary. Like Machiavelli said, "The object of power is power." Putin is a power-hungry despot. Trump is ALWAYS looking to make a favorable deal.

That is probably also why liberal politicians don't understand him. Says something about the libs.

They throw the terms fascist and racist around so loosely that the terms have no meaning anymore.

I was reading today some comments in the Guardian about how X became full of fascist comments as soon as Elon Musk took it over. Yet all I saw was the previously suppressed conservatives being able to now voice their opinion. Or in other words, if you have conservative values, you are by default a fascist. How on earth do you bridge that divide with reason?

It is intentionally near-impossible. Problem is, neither side wants to admit they have been played.

Where do you turn in a two-party system? I’m willing to admit mistakes, but there are few, if any, options.

 

[NauticalGent]

With the exception of the last election, I vote for the Libertarian party, but I really do try to stay grounded in logic. Our media really makes it hard not to get caught up in the BS.

That's a very insightful comment

Like you, I strive to be, but sometimes the vortex is too strong!

Foreign forces continue fueling the flames of discord to the brink of civil war. Who can see through that smoke screen?
