Off-Topic / USA News and Poland - part 16 [952]

@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.

News / Will PiS be happy if AfD wins elections in Germany? [1404]

@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.

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.

@Rich,
At least I have something to show offLOL
Secondly, I'd require more than several posts to correct your writing,
and therefore, I wouldn't even try.

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

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.

Language / Game - guess Polish idioms/sayings in direct English translation - part 2 [758]

@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.

Trump's declaring war on the US-Constitution and can only be
stopped by a less craven Supreme Court!

Once again, Chief Justice Roberts SHAME ON YOU!!!

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.
