Why would anyone suppose that radical Muslims from the middle east would not see themselves as having good reason to attack America.
America had been playing fast and loose in their countries, fighting wars and dominating them for years.
If you interfere in disputes you should expect to get...
Of course America has the power to include or exclude who ever they want.
However it is the quality of a civilised country to not differentiate between people's and races in their laws and regulations and policies.
It is said that justice Is blind. And a majority of countries now have anti...
All my life I have been happy in my own company or with just one or two close friends.
Since my wife died 21 years ago. I have been mostly on my own. Some weeks I see no one at all,
But I rarely feel loneliness. I suppose it can seem strange to live in such an overpopulated world and hardly ever...
America was founded on religious fanatics fleeing Europe, to set up colonies so as to be able to set of their own religious persuasions.
the American constitution welcomes such people.
I did not even wait up for the count.
I was pretty certain that TRUMP would win.
Though It was certainly not the result that I wanted.
But there is almost no limit to people's ignorance and stupidity.
And America does everything bigger and to excess compared to every one else.
And they sure did...
It will be interesting to see how the American people find ways to survive the effects of trumps policies.
It is not going to be pretty.
If they turn on him he might end up like Mussolini.
.
What else?
It has always been perfectly obvious that Trump would do his own thing.
His closest supporters and backers will only have a presence as long as he has a use for them, and as long as they do not try to pressure or get in his way.
He is certainly not looking for advice, so will do...
People's opinions do not affect inflation.
If tariffs increase so will the cost of living and inflation for all Americans.
That is unavoidable.
There is a less obvious link between tariffs and unemployment, but they do follow each other fairly closely. Especially in the service industries as...
I have a grandson who moved to Sweden when he was 20 and has never come back, that is a good few years ago. Not even sure what he is doing now, but it was a mix of photography and graphic Design, he has a media degree and he was also working in some sort of health and fitness concern. But by now...
Norway is a very rich, but very expensive country, with astonishingly high taxation.
However it has fantastic social and health support, as only found in a rich socialist country.
For its size it has a very small population.
The language barrier is fearsome.
It works , it shows a good balance.
We see a good balance of people's loves and hates on numerous subjects.
I would not like the forum to take sides, and restrict or ban contentious subject matter.
Editing personal attacks and hate material seems a reasonable way to continue.
On the political...

The same Theories have been chewed over since the twenties and thirties.
True it has cost a fortune to run all the particle experiments to discover evidence of the actual particles like the higgs. Which was first proposed in 1964.
But hardly anything fundamental has been changed. Despite the...
It is both interesting and amusing that some scientists are looking again at the possibility of "aether"
Which was debunked at the end of the 19th century.
Despite vast sums being spent on research , no real advances have been made in particle physics for nearly 100 years. They are now looking...
I do not support any of your superiority choices, so have not cast a vote.
I do not believe Any religion is definitely superior to any other
Nor do I believe that science has any connection to religion.
I would further suggest that ...
We know nothing about god or gods.
That religions and gods...

Not under Trump's watch,
He has shown no interest in the environment nor global warming.
He wanted the wind turbines removed from the view of his golf courses in Scotland, he even took them to court. They were miles out to sea.
