Date Posted：2022-09-13 12:19:01Copy HTML The longest fence in the world is in Australia. It is slightly longer than the distance between N.Y. & London. Called the "Dingo Fence" for keeping the wild dogs out of places where they shouldn't be. Live respected, die regretted

Re：Don't Start Another Date Posted：2022-11-27 08:57:14Copy HTML Just what is it with black people and monkeys? What is it about their existence that instills such a feeling of vulnerability in them. I mean, what have the poor monkeys done to deserve such treatment? Of course, the poor banana has also been dragged into this psychological problem too for some unknown reason. Now the World Health Organisation has announced that it is working with scientists to develop a new name for the monkeypox virus that will not be “discriminatory and stigmatising,” in an effort to employ “woke” ideals in virology. It continued, naming diseases 'should be done with the aim to minimise the negative impact and avoid causing offence to any cultural, social, national, regional, professional or ethnic groups.' Working with scientists eh? It's so comforting to know that the WHO's billions are being spent in a good cause in curing black peoples' deep psychological inferiority complex The WHO plans to rename the monkeypox virus to “MPOX” in an effort to reduce the stigma surrounding the virus. That should do it and I must congratulate their team in this wonderful achievement, I mean, what genius finally came up with this magnificent achievement of reducing the truly offensive word monkey to M? Give him a Nobel prize. The decision to change it was made after the Biden regime threatened WHO officials to change the name and suggested the U.S. might act unilaterally if the international body did not act promptly. Great stuff Joe and I though you were a idiot. However, I have a better plan and one I'm sure the lefty's will be only too pleased to carry out to alleviate their debilitating grovelling complex.... why not just eradicate monkeys? You can't be too sure in today's world, why President Trump just might buy them all up and use them negatively against them, isn't that right Pete? I mean, it's the kind of thing he would do, right Pete? Socialism is a mental disease. |

Re：Don't Start Another Date Posted：2022-11-27 12:20:39Copy HTML Well there is a close physical similarity between the two. Just look at the rosters in pro-football for example. We recently had a record snow storm in Buffalo forcing the game to be cancelled locally & the team to be flown to Detroit where they have a domed stadium to play the scheduled game. Of course the locals helped to shovel out their sports heroes because we are "The City of Good Neighbors" (spelling for the Limeys). The players were easy to spot in the snow which was a benefit for the rescuers. |

Re：Don't Start Another Date Posted：2022-11-27 01:37:15Copy HTML Prime Minister Mark Rutte of the Netherlands wants to atone for Dutch involvement in the colonial-era slave trade & plans to offer an official apology & fund a new museum to promote awareness of past Dutch crimes. Well that makes it even eh? Of course this is just part off the lefty's masochistic tendencies when it comes to dealing with this subject. Have you seen how many of them now participate in their own ritual humiliation? They strip off, short of a loincloth, then wrap themselves in chains and crawl across the floor and kiss a black's foot. You think I'm bullshitting don't you but it's getting quite popular. Frankly, it's a sexual act too and I get the feeling that if you tore off that loin cloth at the feet kissing stage you would observe an erection. The Dutch had a lot of British slaves as well, so where's our share? And where's my foot kisser? Yeh right, in an equal world maybe but one glance at our advertising actors alone tells you who's coming in last. |

Re：Don't Start Another Date Posted：2022-11-28 11:51:29Copy HTML We are seeing mass protests for various reasons in some rather unusual places in the world today. In western nations this is not that unusual because we value the expression of freedom, but authoritarian governments like China, Russia, Iran..................What's happening here? |

Re：Don't Start Another Date Posted：2022-11-28 03:35:08Copy HTML The internet and mobile communications have opened the eyes of the oppressed to what life is like on the other side. Some states will fall, others will hang on becoming increasingly oppressive. You're playing chess with Fate and Fate's winning.

Re：Don't Start Another Date Posted：2022-11-28 03:50:09Copy HTML Good point Mark, residents of Hong Kong must remember what it was like before being turned over to the Chinese. It was the hub of banking & finance of Asia. Add the possession of a suit of clothing made in Hong Kong showed you had "made it" in the corporate world. |

Re：Don't Start Another Date Posted：2022-11-28 04:05:28Copy HTML The Chinese leadership is being incredibly stupid; covid zero is impossible. China supposedly produced a vaccine at the end of 2020, yet very few have had it over there, hence the panic when a few folk get infected. You're playing chess with Fate and Fate's winning.

Re：Don't Start Another Date Posted：2022-11-28 08:04:19Copy HTML China has been drinking at the fountain of capitalism for a few years now and the people have grown to really like it, in fact, they are getting addicted to it and who can blame them? Well the western lefty's of course but with all commies, freedom of choice troubles them, freedom of association frightens them but freedom of speech absolutely terrifies them. Now, how does the saying go? Take away all my freedoms but free speech, because with that one freedom I can get all of the others back? The Chinese communist party has been slowly losing dominance over their ants, which is how they look at the people because, yes, they might have introduced the covid virus to the west but we in turn have introduced the virus of capitalism to them and it's taking hold, as it comes with many side effects, such as freedom of speech, freedom of association, freedom of movement and freedom to remove those you don't care for. Whoops! I don't know the name of the song but it's a great one and its first line is.... I see troubles ahead. |

Re：Don't Start Another Date Posted：2022-11-29 03:51:57Copy HTML Is this the song, Art? Song by Nat King Cole There may be trouble ahead But while there's moonlight And music and love and romance Let's face the music and dance Before the fiddlers have fled Before they ask us to pay the bill And while we still have the chance Let's face the music and dance Soon, we'll be without the moon Humming a different tune and then There may be tear drops to shed So while there's moonlight And music and love and romance Let's face the music and dance Let's face the music and dance Soon, we'll be without the moon Humming a different tune and then There may be tear drops to shed So while there's moonlight And music and love and romance Let's face the music and dance Let's face the music and dance "It is forbidden to spit on cats in plague-time."

Re：Don't Start Another Date Posted：2022-11-29 03:02:29Copy HTML Researchers at McMaster University in Canada conducted a study of what gets people up on the dance floor more often. Their findings are that it is the bass notes that make people dance more. Once again the Canadians add to solving some of the world's problems eh? |

Re：Don't Start Another Date Posted：2022-12-03 01:53:58Copy HTML Was reading about some local history & the term "shire town" came up which means county seat, or where the government offices are. Seems as if there are numerous "shires" in the U.K. Does it mean the same there? |

Re：Don't Start Another Date Posted：2022-12-03 08:33:02Copy HTML Usually yes. Most Counties in GB are Shires with the County Town and the County itself sharing the same name ie Stafford is the County Town of Staffordshire. There are exceptions of course - The County Town of Wiltshire is Trowbridge, there is no town called Wilt. A few Counties are not Shires such as Essex and Kent.

Re：Don't Start Another Date Posted：2022-12-04 01:59:14Copy HTML The 588th Night Bomber Aviation Regiment was an all female outfit of the Soviet's during WWII. They were also known as the "Night Witches" for their daring deeds against the Germans. They were not equipped with parachutes until 1944 which brings me to this tale. Seems as if two of their mechanics were convicted of dismantling a flare used to illuminate targets to get the tiny parachute & using the fabric to sew undergarments for personal use. For this crime they were sentenced to 10 years of hard labor. They appealed to their squadron commander who had them retrained as navigators commending them for their resourcefulness. |

Re：Don't Start Another Date Posted：2022-12-04 03:41:41Copy HTML Reading a piece about Werner von Braun who was instrumental in the U.S. space program. Werner was born in Germany & was in the Nazi party which he claimed he was forced into. He was in the SS & rapidly rose to the rank of major, which he was forced into as well. He won the iron cross, which he was forced into accepting. He was head of the V-1 & V-2 rocket program which killed 18,000 Brits in cities who were mostly civilians. He was forced into that role as well. He claimed he knew nothing about the slave labor used to create these missiles, nor did he know about the 5 thousand Jew laborers executed after the program was of no longer any use. Seems as if von Braun was forced into a lot of things that really furthered his career eh? |

Re：Don't Start Another Date Posted：2022-12-04 03:47:10Copy HTML If the parachute fabric in question was silk, their actions were totally justified. Most likely, hence the term "hit the silk." Seems the Russian thought more of their flares than of their pilots back then. The lack of compassion is still present in them today as far as Ukraine goes. |

Re：Don't Start Another Date Posted：2022-12-05 02:43:24Copy HTML Fog Reveal a method for police & other authorities have used to scoop up location records from more than 250 million smartphones. Once police know a suspect's cell phone number, they can monitor behavior for days or weeks to determine where they live, shop, & can find out neighbors, friends, paramours, & associates. This technology came into prominent use following the Jan 6th uprising in identifying the location of suspects. Through this technology authorities can identify people through gait recognition & heartbeat monitoring. Civil Libertarians are hoping Congress will pass legislation reining in use of private mass surveillance data. |
