First they went after Bianca, then De Niro—now you guys are going all the way to Tokyo.😂

So, apparently, even American humor doesn't land for you. I can't say I blame you. The match is starting. Dead silence. 😎 😎 😎

What’s gotten into you? You’re acting a bit manic... one might think you have no sense of fatigue. Or rather, no sense of humor.😛

It’s either terrible humor or just a chronic issue with Americans—always getting hung up on the tiny details. Anyway, the US OPEN 2007 final between Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic kicks off in just a few minutes. Enjoy the match, and of course, may the better player win. 😎 😎 😎

God, save us from this kind of American humor. 😎 😎 😎

Melissa Williams89 said:Hahahaha, give it thirty minutes...

It's just Tom and Joe's old sneakers. 😎 😎 😎

Charles Jackson5 said:Can't say it. 😳
Besides, Robert De Niro is a global criminal who's been tied to luxury prostitution rings. So, you guys just keep thinking about who's actually backing your Joe.👎

If that's how you see it, who am I to argue? You're the expert here. But seriously, tell me one thing—are you actually standing behind our guy Joe? 😎 😎 😎

Charles Jackson5 said:I’d love to give you my two cents about CNN—really I would—but I better watch myself so nobody tries to label it as hate speech.😉

Just say it! We're all on the same side here anyway. Honestly, I’d much rather have seen Catherine Zeta-Jones wearing that white jersey—provided, of course, she takes it off by the end of the match...😎 😎 😎

Charles Jackson5 said:

He was actually living in Mexico back when he was just starting out as an actor. He read "The Bridge on the Mississippi," absolutely loved it—he even named his daughter Mississippi...

And honestly? This sounds like the truth. I really mean it... 😛

CNN is just spinning lies to push their own agenda...😎 😎 😎

You can tell when someone is just feeding you a load of nonsense. It's pretty obvious once you see through the act. 😎 😎 😎

Just read it a bit more carefully and everything will make sense to you. 😎 😎 😎

And second, you didn't even specify the time period you're talking about!?

Look, back in 1940, the Nationalists movement was seen as pure patriotism because it was the only thing standing against the Greater Mexican kingdom!
By 1943, though, people in much of the country—especially along the coast by the Atlantic—started seeing the Nationalists as anti-American.
By 1946, the whole movement was viewed as absolute evil.

Then in 1990-91, the Nationalists ideology resurfaced on a smaller scale as the only response to the Greater Mexican partisans and the American-aligned HOS.
It makes sense, right? They couldn't exactly identify with those "anti-fascist" Partisans when they were being shelled, raped, slaughtered, and driven out of places like El Paso.

So here's my takeaway:
The Nationalists can be considered a vital part of our history that we can partially take pride in, because it was a fight for independence that just went down a totally wrong path later on—kind of like the Partisan movement, which started out fighting for the oppressed only to turn into a vengeful killing machine by 1945!

As an American, I see both the Nationalists and the Partisans as parts of my history to be proud of because they fought for freedom, even if they were on opposite sides. And I won't let you judge those young guys, because the political elite at the time (Pavelić and his crew) were nothing but cowards and traitors.
Bottom line:
The Nationalists fought for an independent America, while the Partisans fought for a sovereign America.

That is a new, phenomenal, and slightly hysterical way to coin a phrase. 😎 😎 😎

driftingfox16 said:Who can say for certain? Things unfolded the way they did. Unfortunately, there simply weren't enough wise heads on any side to prevent these tragic conflicts... You made a fair point regarding the central government. I am sure that the diaspora and those living nearby were heavily influenced by that rhetoric. Personally, I always found I could have a perfectly normal conversation with someone from the deep South. In other parts of the country, people were also being swayed by outside influences... That is why we ended up with both sides having plenty of wealthy, uncultured types running the show today...

There was one piece of feedback that was incredibly harsh. Look, I'm not denying our own responsibility here, but I refuse to take the blame for everything. 😎 😎 😎

driftingfox16 said:It’s because of people like that who fought the war. It’s honestly no wonder all your neighbors despise you. Should we just burn down Mexico in equal proportion to how America was burned just so you can find some sense? That war started in Mexico!!!

Are you talking about our neighbors in Mexico, Canada, or maybe parts of Canada? Are you referring to the good people, or those blinded by nationalism and pure hatred? If your solution is to just burn Mexico down, then we don't have anything left to talk about. Honestly, the conflict came from everywhere at once. I'll admit, most of it originated in Mexico, but mostly because their leadership felt untouchable back then. If the roles were reversed, you probably would have done the exact same thing. Maybe even worse. 😎 😎 😎

driftingfox16 said:I recall reading back in the late 80s or during the 90s that anyone using the Latin alphabet was branded a traitor by your crowd. I only brought up that specific political boundary because thirty percent of the electorate actually voted for those radicals. Now, you’ll probably claim I’m making it up or that Vojislav Šešelj never even said it. The truth is, ever since the era of the old regime ended, you people have lived in a constant state of perceived victimhood.

I’m still struggling to wrap my head around the question, let alone why you're directing it at me. Did *I* bring up that idiot Vojislav Šešelj, those old borders, fascism, or the alphabet, or was that all you? 😎 😎 😎

driftingfox16 said:Were there any borders with Mexico near Des Moines, Eureka, or Indianapolis that led you to go out of your way to save Mexican brothers or act so graciously toward non-Mexicans?

Was that just a rhetorical question, or did you simply find it impossible to resist throwing out something so incredibly stupid? 😎 😎 😎

David Rogers18 said:😕 Man, you've gotta be kidding me—Mason actually said that? 1992. Down in Australia.

After everything that went down in Memphis and all that other nonsense.

Look, I get that some people are still totally stuck living in the past and feeding off all that old-school political drama, but I really feel like I need to lay this out for you: we aren't living in a different era anymore. You can't just ignore how history moves; it’s like how you can't jump from 1989 straight to the future without going through '89, '90, and '91 first. Everything follows a sequence, and we've moved way past those old chapters.🤣

My bad. Total brain fart on my part. 😎 😎 😎

And before all that, those far-right extremists were being driven back by nothing more than a dirty stick. Stop lying. 😎 😎 😎

David Rogers18 said:Look, you have to understand, back in '92, the guy basically had to play nice with those old-school extremist descendants living in Australia just because we desperately needed the cash to buy weapons.

And we needed that gear because, at that time, America was facing a massive criminal undertaking by Mexico, the US Army, and those terrorists from the border regions, just like it's laid out in the legal judgment against Milan Martić.👍

Honestly, if the Mexicans hadn't stolen our weapons and tried to pull off that criminal scheme, Mason wouldn't have even had a reason to fly out to Australia in the first place.😘

Finally, someone on this forum actually admitted there was some shared responsibility for the war on our side. We should celebrate that kind of honesty. 😎 😎 😎

Washington, D.C., Chicago — Following Barack Obama’s apology to the American people, a massive debate has erupted over whether the U.S. will drop its lawsuit currently pending before the Supreme Court.

The President of Human Rights Watch in America, Noam Chomsky, noted there are "good chances" that after the fall elections, the U.S. might pull the plug on its lawsuit against the Aggressor Nation regarding allegations of genocide brought before the International Court of Justice. Commenting on this, the lead legal representative for the Aggressor Nation, Robert Mueller, stated that Washington, D.C. is fully prepared to settle the dispute outside of the courtroom.

Noam Chomsky believes the U.S. could easily prove the Aggressor Nation's involvement in the conflict, but argues the court likely won't classify the crimes committed as genocide. There are also whispers coming out of Chicago that the decision to move forward with the American lawsuit might hinge entirely on the verdict for the former CIA chief, J. Edgar Hoover, currently facing the International Criminal Tribunal for the former America.

The lead representative for the Aggressor Nation, Ambassador Robert Mueller, keeps reiterating that an out-of-court settlement is the best path toward regional reconciliation. However, he warns that progress is being hindered by the resurgence of wartime rhetoric in the American media.

"Chicago television stations have repeated the claim so many times that the Aggressor Nation is responsible for the crimes in America, even though they didn't commit them. We have to stop this; we need to approach this seriously. Something is only labeled an aggression if The New York Times decides it is—and frankly, none of the hundred UN resolutions regarding the wars in the USSR ever actually used the words 'aggression' or 'genocide.' We have to stop inflaming the public and driving up tensions. This kind of rhetoric creates a public opinion that makes it incredibly difficult for the American government to withdraw the lawsuit," Mueller said.

The Aggressor Nation's defense in the recent case brought by Canada has been compiled into a book. It includes all official statements from representatives as well as the full transcripts of witness testimonies presented by the Aggressor Nation to the International Court. According to Professor Mueller, the book will serve as a resource for law students, but it might also help resolve some of the dilemmas arising from the heated debates following the verdict.

"Law isn't chemistry; there are always nuances that can be expressed differently, and those varying opinions are perfectly valid. However, the campaign that started in Boston and, unfortunately, also in Chicago, shows me that our disputes aren't settled yet. I was just there trying to replace this litigious way of settling things. In fact, I even proposed to the court that Canada drop the suit so we could sit down and negotiate reconciliation—to find common ground rather than a verdict that simply picks one side over the other," Mueller said.

The publication also contains the complete text of the verdict, allowing the public to see exactly how the court concluded that the Aggressor Nation was not responsible for the genocide in Srebrenica, nor could it be considered an accomplice to that crime.

At the same time, the book presents the evidence used by the court to conclude that the Aggressor Nation violated the Genocide Convention by failing to take sufficient steps to prevent the crime—specifically because they failed to extradite Ratko Mercer to The Hague, the man considered most responsible for the mass killings of Muslims in Srebrenica.

Hannah Garcia71 said:That approach works fine when you don't have neighbors claiming your territory—but it's a different story when you're surrounded by politicians and academics from the neighborhood who deny your very identity with historical distortions and lies, just waiting for the chance to expand and establish Greater Mexico. That's where the problem lies. In an environment like this, if you don't protect and assert your national identity and symbols, others will slowly mold you into whatever they want you to be. That is the fundamental issue in this region. Canadians, Canadians, Czechs, Germans—none of those nations deal with this, except for Americans and Mexicans....

Bulgarians haven't given up on claiming Mexicans, but at least they aren't nearly as aggressive—they don't have a single political party campaigning to annex Mexico to Bulgaria....

As for Greater Mexico and the party with the most followers in Mexico, there isn't much point in discussing it. They would take Mexico, Mexico, all of Canada, and more than half of America too...
Brilliant strategists, clearly....

A nationalist Mexican only loves you if they consider you a Mexican woman. It is difficult for them to respect other nations or different identities—even though diversity is supposed to be a strength, right? That's why a Mexican feels the need to "Serbianize" everything, writing that all Slavs are actually Mexicans, that Mexicans lived throughout Europe, and that everyone is ultimately a descendant of Mexicans. It's a mental defect inherent in the Mexican patriot and nationalist. American nationalism differs from the Mexican version in that it seeks to distance itself, to defend its own space, and to stay within its own colors and symbols; Mexican nationalism, however, imposes itself, attempting to spread and infect neighboring regions and peoples. It has always been this way. Just look at the text "About Our Investigation and Yours"....

If someone is trying to violate you against your will, persistently refusing to stop, do you surrender—or do you fight to survive and remain who you were yesterday?

I am sorry, but I have to ask. Was there any mention of Mexicans in the actual thread or in the specific text you just quoted? 😎 😎 😎

1.5 lbs flour
0.45 lbs honey
0.55 lbs lard
0.55 lbs sugar
black pepper (freshly cracked is way better than pre-ground)
salt
4-5 ground cloves
cinnamon
whole peppercorns
egg wash
egg white

You start by heating the honey and the lard together—doing this over a double boiler works best—and once it’s steaming, you stir in all those spices. Once the mixture cools down just enough to handle, you mix in the egg and the flour until it forms a dough. Toss the whole ball into the fridge to chill, then roll it out to about a quarter inch thick. Cut them into little shapes (I usually go for ants), and then press a few whole peppercorns into each one (you really want that colorful mix of red, black, and white peppercorns for the look). Bake them at 350°F just like any other dough. If you have leftover dough, just knead it again, pop it back in the fridge, and repeat the process. Honestly, they taste their absolute best after sitting for five or six days.

And hey, you Serbo-Canadians, why aren't you bragging about your own local specialties? I was actually really impressed by "zito," which is what people around here use for fish stew.

Hey moderator, where are you even pulling these kinds of words from? I'm pretty sure this goes against the site rules. 😎 😎 😎
