News / Was Charlie Kirk popular in Poland? [517]

@PolAmKrakow,

Even Jews complain constantly about infighting within the religion,
lack of solidarity as compared with amongst African-Americans etc.

American Jews seem to be "connected" as concerns Holocaust survivors
and the ultra-Orthodox communities (from which mega financial
contributions are expected!!!), that is, as regards key or select themes.
As concerns the average Jew, those who slip through the so-called "donut hole",
those among the lower-middle class, those who aren't extremely wealthy etc.,
the Jewish community all but abandons this group, and I'm not even discussing the actions by
the Brooklyn or Monsey slumlords.

Just to be clear, had George Floyd been Jewish, the only movement behind him would have
been a bowel movement, again, he made his bed, now he simply has to lie in it and accept his
"loser" status.

The point is, that African-Americans, compared with certain others,
e.g. Jewish groups, stick together and rally behind their brethren,
even if the brother/sister in question is not always a model citizen,
but someone who's fallen on hard times! Far too often, Caucasian-
Americans take the attittude, "You make your bed, you lie in it!"
African-Americans on the whole know better.

George Floyd might have been placed in hand cuffs as opposed
to a choke hold, therefore allowing for rehabilitation instead
of making him a martyr.

Anyone who disagrees with what is roughly called "the truth"
is a distortionist, I see.

I see in your future a promising career in law, politics or real estateLOL

You mean then he is entitled to lie or distort the truth with impunity, is that it?
@Joker, at least under FDR, you'd have had a bed in which to hear the stories:-)
Ck. out Art Buchwald's "The Republican Twenty-Third Psalm:

Nixon is my shepherd
I shall always want.
He maketh me to lie down on park benches,
He leadeth me beside the still factories,
He restoreth my doubt in the Republican Party.
Yea, poverty and misery shall follow me all the days of my life,
And I shall live in the rented house forever.

Two thousand years ago, Moses said
"Bring your camel, take your shovel, mount your ass
And I shall lead you to the Promised Land!"

Two thousand years later, Franklin D. Roosevelt proclaimed
"Leave your camel, put down your shovel, sit on your ass
This is the Promised Land!"

Nixon will steal your camel, sell your shovel, kick you in the ass
and tell you there is no Promised Land!!

Point is, Kirk was belittling the murder of a black man by a white police officer
who bloody well deserved to have the book thrown at him in spades, no pun intended here.

Furthermore, it's not mature behavior to let drip from one's mouth or pen every little ignorant
thought one has in their head.

Charlie made disparaging remarks about Jews, non-Christians, above all, nasty assertions
about George Floyd, relating to the fact that he was African-American.

The fact that he was black had nothing to do with his value as a human being!
He showed more sympathy for Officer Chauvin than he did for the Floyd, who,
a la Eric Garner, was placed in an unauthorized choke hold!!

Pity that the police stick together, often at the expense of doing the right thing.
"You people don't know how tough it is being a cop!"

Yes, there is truth in such an assertion. However, is this not merely an excuse
for some racist policeman to justify placing a choke hold on a man whose sole
misdemeanor was, stealing a friggin' pack of cigarettes??

Many professionals are similar. Lawyers too feel themselves a band of brothers
who would never criticize a fellow attorney, same with school teachers etc.

This is unfair and folks out there shouldn't be surprised that there's so much
violence in America.

I figured that. Vilified in life, martyred in death.
We deserved better! His hateful rhetoric didn't merit nearly the attention it received.

On the other hand, Kimmel's flip comments were shameful and he should have been censured.

@PolAmKrakow.

Trump wants to eventually repeal the Affordable Care Act, dubbing
it "wasteful", along with a string of other even less favorable adjectives!
He also wants to control what is taught in schools, what passes for appropriate
entertainment media. That qualifies as a dictatorship, not a democracy.

In the US, as elsewhere, society punishes the average person, the everyday citizen, for
speeding, stealing, tax evasion, rape, of course murder. Who though punishes the Trumps,
corporate giants, those who deem themselves no longer subject to the same laws as the rest of us?

In her own words, Kirk's widow "forgives" that Robertson bloke.
I can understand her views as the religious utterance of those who seek
some sort of spiritual redemption. Perhaps it's true or merely publicity seeking.

If somebody murdered my wife, child(ren) or close family member, I hope
that I would be as forgiving! Probably not, yet I can only pray.

Apropos President Trump, he claims he IS the law, in doing so, behaves as though
he were ABOVE the very law which he is charged with upholding.

Only he feels that he is immune from the slings and arrows of outrageous ignominy,
such as selectively poor medical and legal services, run-away inflation etc. simply because he is president
and we're not.

The Constitution?? A la Chico Marx in "A Night at the Opera", "Ahh, I no lika that one, get rid of it!"
LOL Yet the joke's on us, the American citizenry, most of whom, with only some exceptions, voted for the guy.

News / Germany's Socio-Political Climate and Its Impact on Poland [122]

I couldn't agree more!

According to the German press, e.g. ZEIT, SPIEGEL, FAZ, many German
communities are terribly concerned that the increased presence of the children of non-German-
speaking foreigners in the elementary school classroom, typically children of migrants, is gradually
lowering the level of education in order to accomodate the migrants, apparently to the disadvantage
of native German pupils.

Hey, Rich!
The only sewer here is coming from your keypad.
A true Trump supporter.
He has no respect for the English language either:

"Folks, I think we're doin' fantastic! I mean, really,
fantastic, isn't it? You see, the Left is evil, folks, really,
the country's fantastic, our GDP's fantastic....."

Yep, that's the Donald.
