News / Abortion still under control in Poland - part 2 [383]

Charlie Kirk was a convinced Neocon, but also known for racist, disparaging remarks about,
among others, George Floyd!

Albeit Floyd might not have been a model citizen, he was nonetheless entitled to the same
respect as any other citizen, white or black.

If this seems drearily old-fashioned, lefty, and somehow out of touch with life during the Trump
anti-Revolution, then I suppose humanity too is out of date.

Hitler as well declared war on law without order, on equality and all the other verities your kind
loves to sneer at.

Essentially you and other Trumpers are nothing more than anti-Christian.

Rich & PolAmKrakow,
There you guys go again, looking for easy solutions to complex problems!
When will you finally realize that life is a mission, not a joy ride and sometimes
we have to do things we don't want to do, if only to preserve social peace
rather than create social warfare?

People can only be marginalized so much before they lash out at their enemies.

@Rich,
For better or worse, the US thrives on immigration, however, LEGAL immigration.
You have to face facts that the AfD is simply Nazism rearing its ugly head....once again.
You'd think the Germans would have learned by this point, although thankfully, the AfD
is only a minority, albeit a vocal minority.

@Joker, Rich, et al,

I'm scarcely condoning the killing of Charlie Kirk any
more that I would the assassination of Lincoln Rockwell
of the American Nazi Party way back in the late '60's!

Killing is killing, of course.

On the other hand, what led up to Kirk's murder, huh?

Young, post-War, post-Depression, really post-Reagan,
Conservative Americans have lost touch with the lessons
of inclusion and inclusiveness, lessons they're too young to
have learned, much less internalized. Those under twenty
were sadly weened on the warped, twisted doctrine of Donald
J. Trump, a man child who wouldn't either know a civil right from
a civil wrong, or much care!

Is it any surprise that Civil Rights, much less equal rights for
equal citizenship are being rejected by a generation which never
experienced American life before the New Deal, before Roe, before
The Equal Rights Amendment??

The doctrine of instant gratification, selfishness, "Greed is good" ad nauseum
is about the only thing most post Generation-X'ers understand.

@Rich,
Clearly trolling again, are we. Anyway, perhaps I/we can drum some sense into your thick skull!
The AfD wants to cancel ALL Holocaust education from German school curricula, ideally
deport all non-white, Third World migrants, even second or third generation Turkish-Germans
and others, the more extreme among the Alternative founders (including the late Alexander Gauland,
a Le Pen supporter) desire a "return" of erstwhile German territory seized by neighboring Poland and
Czech Republic following Germany's defeat in WWII.

Each mighty convinciing reasons, I'd say. You'd probably disagree, only to be the eternal contrarian.
Even Trump only wishes to deport known criminals or drug dealers. Hoecke, Weidel, Gideon et al
consider ANY non-ethnic Germans to be a threat to Germany society, criminal background or not
and herein lies the true horror.

An intriguing hypothesis, however as with the once posited theory of Atlantis, it
remained mere conjecture for which no concrete evidence exists to this day.

Off-Topic / USA News and Poland - part 16 [1019]

Kirk was a rightist agitator, as best I can tell, to whom I listened from time to time,
a sort of poor man's Rush Limbaugh.

Whoever killed Kirk was obviously anti-Trump and pro-left wing liberal. The killing, as
with any assassination, is horrific, however considering the deep (often unreported!) dissatisfaction
with the current administration, I'm honestly surprised he wasn't bumped off earlier.

One report from the period records an incident that not long after Columbus landed on Hispaniola,
his Basque mate greeted some of the natives they encountered in his native language and it is
claimed the natives understood him!

As with many a doubtless apocryphal tale, plenty of good stories have been ruined by oververification.

On present-day Hispaniola he sure did! Her was met by the Caribs.

Americans from the '40's and earlier spoke an English closer in certain ways to
British English.

My parents were rather older when I was born.

You're babbling pure gibberish, the only language in which you seem to be fluent.

News / Will PiS be happy if AfD wins elections in Germany? [1440]

You're missing the point here, Rich!

Native Americans are the only true Americans,
as all others were by definition immigrants to this country.
After all, when everyone from Columbus to Miles Standish
first landed on our shores, it was the aboriginal inhabitants of
the American mainland who were there to greet them.

Europe as well as much of Asia, e.g China or Japan, have a far different
history, that of a far more historically homogeneous ethnicity than
the US.

"Hyphen-free" would then mean anyone of Native American extraction,
since the so-called "Indians" arrived on this continent before anybody else....
including the Vikings, Celts or any white Europeans!!

A "black widow" is indeed a variety of poisonous spider.

@Rich,
"Have you a better one?" is British English!
We Yanks tend to use the modal auxilliary "Do + pronoun",
where as the Brits mostly forego this usage:

"Have you some change?" vs. "Do you have some change?"
etc.

Both are technically correct. Cf. German from Germany vs. Austrian or Swiss High German. etc.

A parasite is often a convenient label for someone or ones who
honestly need help and the deserved assistance that comes from providing
basic, human services for all citizens worthy of such assistance.

A few scammers out there, as with a few rotten apples, shouldn't be allowed
to destroy the entire crop, should it!

Speech may be free, however the violence which it could incite, isn't and should
indeed be punished swiftly and surely!

For this very reason, the FRG to this day doesn't allow for jokes about the Nazi period,
either in public, in open forum or in print.
