"We have about 50% of the world's wealth but only 6.3% of its population. This disparity is particularly great as between ourselves and the peoples of Asia. In this situation, we cannot fail to be the object of envy and resentment. Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of relationships which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity without positive detriment to our national security. To do so, we will have to dispense with all sentimentality and day-dreaming; and our attention will have to be concentrated everywhere on our immediate national objectives. We need not deceive ourselves that we can afford today the luxury of altruism and world-benefaction."
~ US State Department, 1948
I guess it's only the Israeli police that get to shoot at rock throwers.
He will die at the hands of a Ukrainian who has lost everything because of him. Nobody hates him more than the Ukrainian people do today.
When I was born, the global population was a hair under 3 Billion, increasing at a rate of 1.7%. [Link] It was the end of an era for North...
Covid19 was a plandemic. It began as a psyop conflating flu with the new "covid". Most flu deaths disappeared in 2020, along with NO excess...
If the US denied agreeing to Rafah attack, then it is almost certainly true. Nothing is beneath it.

The main character is the dad, Al Bundy .. .described on Wiki as:
Also, who gives a shit about fricking '90's TV? It really comes to something when nineties TV is considered some kind of arbiter of sanity.
Dressed like that as a 16 year old?

"Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, but the highest form of intelligence." - Oscar Wilde.
@HFL:
Oscar Wilde may have been like Henry David Thoreau. Or G.I. Gurdjieff. (Or Miles Mathis?)
Men who were actually men or coming reasonably close to being so.
Most men are not men at all.
Most smart people know less than the stupid do.
Quite a bit less.
Have a good one.
ned,
out
Don't let anyone else influence you unduly, including me.

My understanding is, that Oscar Wilde was a homosexual. Homos are not my favorite sort of men.
Nonetheless, at times, I have read statements by Oscar Wilde that seemed sensible and true (to heart, not to 'facts')
I have not made a thorough study of these three men (Wilde, Gurdjieff and Thoreau) in the way that some might. I am surmising to a high degree and 'intuiting' a little bit.
Ultimately, I think you have go more on what a man (any man) actually does, as opposed to what he might say or be reported as saying.
Mathis has my admiration for 'sticking his neck out'. i
Mathis seems to use his own mind, unregulated by others and goes on hunches, which is what I do, though not exactly like Mathis. I have a different 'way'...
When you stick your neck out, and stray from 'groupthink', it is dangerous. People hate you.
I know that for a fact.
ned, out
Ok, fair do's Ned... I'll check this Mathis fellow out for myself...
BC, OUT
Not necessarily. Depends on your driving skills, your vehicle, the road you're on, and so on and so forth.
"Miles Mathis?? Isn't he a charlatan?"
You could say that. On the other hand, I've always preferred the term 'arsehole'.
Nedlud can often be seen on these pages railing against all sorts of heroes, role-models and celebrities, whilst de-railing himself by having his own personal heroes, role-models and celebrities all rolled up into one arsehole called 'Miles Mathis'.
