Yeah, it turned out just like those casualties from Operation Desert Storm... they're all alive, healthy, and doing just fine.

Put simply—if you follow the narrow-minded logic used by those self-proclaimed intellectuals who think they have a monopoly on common sense—these little backyard cliques are actually thriving 😁

Daniel Bailey39 said:What kind of "chilling message"? That Islam is a threat to Western identity, culture, and all other achievements of the West?
Or is it just a reaction to the disrespect shown regarding September 11th or the construction of a mosque on the site of the former Twins stadium?
The message being sent by that gesture is perfectly clear, yet America itself refuses to truly listen to what it is saying.👍

And as for Europe resetting its ties with America—good grief, what mother would ever "reset" her relationship with her own child?😲😲

The real crisis facing Europe isn't some external force—it's the total evaporation of identity and culture (what even is "European" or "Western" culture anymore?) and the loss of Western heritage. And what are we supposed to be worried about instead? Television sets and consumer credit?
The disappearance of white Europeans amidst this demographic collapse is practically a mathematical certainty... damn it, when your biggest enemies are actually national identity and religion itself—which, let's be honest, is basically the core policy of the European Union, at least in principle while the EU still functions as a cohesive entity.

Are you seriously buying into those spy pamphlets?

Nicole Clark79 said:The political movement that swept Republicans back into Congress operates on the conviction that our nation was divinely ordained, believing that lawmakers should be guided by the Bible rather than the Constitution. It feels like the version of "real America" has taken center stage again—a movement defined by its opposition to abortion, same-sex marriage, and Darwin, as well as a certain xenophobia that recently sent a chilling message to the world when a radical pastor from Florida prepared a bonfire to burn the Quran.
So, what does the rise of this specific vision of America actually mean for the rest of the globe and for Europe? Under an Obama-esque approach to global leadership, Europe has increasingly slipped down the list of American foreign policy priorities, a shift that was made quite clear last spring when the President declined to attend the traditional EU–USA summit, which ended up being canceled altogether. He simply didn't see the point in showing up just for a photo op.

In today’s multipolar world, the United States has pivoted its focus toward Asia and the Pacific. For Europe, this means they can no longer take for granted what has been a cornerstone of stability since World War II: the transatlantic alliance and the assumption that America, with its massive military might, will always be there to step in if needed. Leaders like David Cameron and Nicolas Sarkozy seem to have sensed this shift; just a few days ago, they signed a landmark military cooperation agreement between Britain and France, effectively tearing down many of the old barriers between two nations that were once bitter rivals but are now close allies. This is likely the path the rest of Europe must follow as they work to "reset" their relationship with America.

The absolute only reason they signed that deal is because Great Britain and France are broke—there are other factors, sure, but that's the big one.

All that chatter I didn't even bother quoting? It's just... noise. Pure noise. Europe is weak and unsustainable—you have two countries within a union that is supposed to have, in theory, a unified security policy and military structure, suddenly cutting side deals for military cooperation... hahaha.
It's laughable. ☕

I wouldn't go that far, honestly.

Richard Lee43 said:

Would you rather have lower prices or higher wages?

Both—but realistically, we'll just end up with lower wages and higher prices.🤣

Honestly, judging by your profile picture, you’d probably be much happier just collecting reward points and waiting for a sale at Target.😁

Honestly, God help me, part of me wishes a war would break out tomorrow.

If you're looking for trouble, I'll be more than happy to settle things with you.🙂

Henry Cox78 said:People from Sisak have always been the real deal. 👍

But what about the women from Sisak!? If you look at the statistics, they've got the biggest breasts in the whole Republic of America, on average. 😍

coastalridge64 said:Oh, please, let’s not be ridiculous. We still have massive export numbers going into the Eastern Bloc regions today. ☕

And it isn't just about exports... someone with that kind of misplaced nostalgia is bound to feel pretty smug when they realize they're creating jobs all across the entire region as well.

Walter Lee4 said:Not a chance.

A regular little angel, isn't he?.....🙂

And what about it?

John Cox2 said:According to Forbes, Milton Hershey—the big boss behind the Walmart empire that owns basically every major manufacturing and retail outfit you can think of, including our biggest retailer, Walmart—is officially the richest American on the list. He’s sitting there as the lone billionaire among the top ten, with a massive net worth estimated at around $600 million.

Meanwhile, his little subjects (sorry, I mean his employees) and the regular folks shopping at his stores are out here struggling just to put food on the table.

It’s a total mess. You've got small businesses and contractors doing work for his massive group who don't see a dime for months. Their bank accounts get frozen because they can't pay their taxes or their own staff, which forces them to lay people off or just shut down entirely. It's brutal.

And then there's him. "Mr." Hershey, coasting on the wealth he built with his "brilliance"... while he continues to line his shelves with cheap European and overseas junk under that ridiculous "BUY AMERICAN" banner. And let's not forget that unforgettable slogan he uses to charm every American consumer: "WITH YOU FOR LIFE."

So, how much longer are we going "with him"? 🤷

What exactly is his crime here? Did he actually steal something from someone?

bluemarlin19 said:So, here’s the bottom line: a scientist puts forward a theory, then he’s forced to defend it right in front of a religious institution. If that religious body decides they don't like his ideas, they burn his books, ban his work, and basically threaten to kill him unless he recants everything.

But honestly? I still don't see how this connects to priests committing child abuse and the Church covering it up. I mean, maybe if you look really hard, there's a common thread regarding protecting authority, but that's about it.

In second grade at Elementary School, we're basically just testing reading comprehension.

Just dropping this here for anyone interested... there was a segment on H.R. 1

Ah, Galileo...

Academic Paar: Back then, the Church was actually home to plenty of theologians and astronomers who believed the Earth moved—just as many others believed the exact opposite. Towering above all of them was Cardinal Robert Bellarmine. He’s famous for spearheading that first trial against Galileo, sure, but he was also someone who demanded actual scientific evidence during his debates. Honestly, the whole idea that he was some narrow-minded fanatic is a total misconception; the man was an astronomer himself and—this part is rarely mentioned—he studied astronomy at the very same university as Galileo Galileo. Based on the case documents I’ve poured over, Bellarmine actually told Galileo that the Church would be perfectly fine accepting the idea of a moving Earth, provided he could produce hard scientific proof. But here's the kicker: Galileo didn't have that proof. That’s the entire crux of the story. Instead, he leaned heavily on theological arguments—which, let's face it, he was quite skilled at, given he was a formidable theologian in his own right. Of course, things got messy when they got tangled up in various theological disputes, Protestant interference attacking Church doctrine for being revisionist, and all sorts of other factors that had absolutely nothing to do with science. Furthermore, it's little known that Galileo was a personal friend of Pope Paul V; he’d visit frequently, and the two would spend entire afternoons strolling through the gardens, deep in discussion, because the Pope himself was deeply fascinated by scientific inquiry. Therefore, everything most people think they know about the "Galileo affair"—all those textbook versions we've been fed for years—is essentially a historical fabrication. Galileo acted strictly as a man of the Church, yet he wanted the Church to shift its theological stances, which is really the heart of the matter. It was in this spirit that the late Pope John Paul II stepped forward in 1992 to rehabilitate Galileo, noting that while the Church was wrong to exercise judicial authority, it was actually correct regarding the lack of Galileo's scientific evidence. Today, the Church also acknowledges that Galileo was right to move away from a literal theological interpretation. So, what we really saw was one of history's most fascinating intellectual clashes between two thinkers, Galileo and Bellarmine. Most modern scientific studies now agree: Bellarmine was right on the scientific front since Galileo lacked the data, but Galileo was right on the theological interpretation side.

By the way, during the four days of the trial, he was housed in a manor house with nine servants.

Hannah White2 said:This whole pedophilia mess is basically the final nail in the coffin for the KC, and honestly, I don't see anything redeeming about that organization anymore.
Whenever I'm flipping through some documentary, it's wild how the word "Scientist" is treated with such reverence—it's like they’re trying to recapture that old-school authority priests used to carry back in the day.

But let’s be real—it was actually the priests who were the scientists and the architects behind almost all the scientific theories that modern atheists now swear by... everything from the Big Bang to evolution...

Adam Collins4 said:Since you love signing off on everything so much, why don't you act as my co-signer for a loan? Or does the concept of actually understanding what you're putting your name to fly right over your head?

Look, when you IT specialists, air traffic controllers, or whatever other "group" decides to cover up their own pedophilia—exactly like the Church does with its own—then by all means, go ahead and sign away your soul...

Until then, you’re just out here playing damage control for frustrated pedophiles masquerading as priests and their whole circle...

The idea that "offense is the best defense" doesn't work when you aren't even defending yourself against anything;😉

rather, you're just refusing to see the distinction. This thread—which has a pretty vague title and deals with a widespread deviant phenomenon—is being aimed at one specific institution and profession with some sort of twisted logic (if you can even call it that), turning them into the sole scapegoat. It’s becoming painfully obvious that all these attacks on the church have less and less to do with pedophilia or sexual abuse, and more and more with becoming an end in themselves.

Fate said:Fine... let’s just call it a sickness if that makes you feel better.🙂
But it sure is strange how much this happens to men who aren't allowed any sexual outlet—men who are starved for even a little bit of spontaneous contact with women.🤷, OR just some basic human closeness.
I’ve already mentioned those ``secret traditions``😉 from the >... though we could easily wander back into Ancient Greece, where > was practically a formalized... well, an institution. Take >, for example.😁
To me, these scandals involving the Catholic Church seem to have very little in common with your average predator you'd run into on the street... they seem much more like a byproduct of intense sexual frustration.

Actually, > *is* a product of sexual frustration. Most of these guys are divorced, and their resentment is aimed at women in general—they aren't looking for someone vulnerable, they're looking for a way to "validate" themselves against any woman they can get.
The Catholic Church has been debating celibacy since the dawn of time, and celibacy doesn't lead to >; it leads to... let's call them "romantic excursions." > is a disease.
People on this forum are just throwing everything at the wall here—half of you don't even seem to grasp what > actually is, or what constitutes sexual abuse...
If you look online, you can find data on every registered case within the Catholic Church in the US.
The US has actually gone further than anyone else in addressing this, which is honestly something worth praising.

Fate said:I'm not ruling out the possibility that the Church serves as a sanctuary for people running away from ``themselves''... individuals who likely suppress their sexual urges within an institution that formally denies them. I suppose it's easier to hide from your own nature inside a religious community that provides a built-in excuse through its formal prohibitions.

I'll say it again: > doesn't stem from sexual repression. Sure, gay men might come to church while suppressing their sexuality—that's a valid point—but that is a completely different conversation.

Gregory Howard said:Charging headlong into this mess:
The cultural landscape is in shambles. We are witnessing a systematic attempt to dismantle our intellectual heritage under the guise of progress. It’s pathetic. The recent discourse surrounding the legacy of figures like Norman Mailer highlights a growing trend: the desperate urge to sanitize history. Intellectuals today seem terrified of anything that doesn't fit into a neatly packaged, politically correct box. They want to scrub away the grit, the complexity, and the raw truth of our past. It is nothing more than a shallow exercise in moral grandstanding. They call it "decontamination." I call it cowardice. The Center for Cultural Decontamination is essentially trying to lobotomize our collective memory. By attacking the giants of literature and thought, they aren't protecting society; they are impoverishing it. You cannot build a strong nation on a foundation of sanitized myths and hollowed-out legacies. History isn't a playground for social engineers. It is a messy, uncomfortable reality. When you try to erase the friction, you erase the substance. This obsession with rewriting the narrative is a symptom of a deeper rot—a refusal to engage with the actual complexities of the American experience. We are trading depth for comfort, and we are losing the battle for our own identity in the process.

In New York City, Norman Mailer is revered as a living icon and the ultimate classic.

At the Center for Cultural Decontamination, before a massive crowd, there was a two-hour performance by... Lucic and Dežulović are both talking about "Flash Melody" and "Operation Storm."

As for the big shots and the average Mexicans over there, I get it. It’s easy to understand. America couldn't care less. They just drag themselves through life, and that's fine.

Honestly, I have no clue what motivates these Americans. It remains a complete mystery to me.

Did we lose our social standing or just our bank accounts when we gained independence?

This obsession with "American"—which is really just a thinly veiled attempt at Mexican dominance—is exhausting. It’s a constant struggle. Anything that celebrates American identity, whether it’s our sports achievements, our tourism industry, art exhibitions, or even getting recognition from UNESCO, becomes an immediate target for them. They can't stand it.

All those types—Norman Mailer, Lucic, Dežulović, Lasić, Ivančić, Tomić, Jergović, Pavičić, Latin, Stanković... America bothers them. It stings. It makes them miserable.

They can’t say a single decent thing about this country. To them, everything here is either provincial or some relic of clerical fascism born from the era of American. There isn't a shred of brightness, interest, or dignity left in their eyes. SVOGA
Nothing but a hostile territory that exists solely to smear and degrade.

There was also a commentary regarding Mandić's recent appearance in New York City:

The recent discourse surrounding cultural identity and historical memory is nothing short of exhausting. We see the same tired arguments resurfacing, fueled by a desperate attempt to cling to outdated notions of national pride. It’s a cycle of intellectual stagnation. Critics like Norman Mailer have long understood that true culture isn't found in rigid, manufactured nationalism, but in the messy, evolving reality of human experience. Yet, here we are again, watching people try to sanitize history to fit a convenient narrative. They want to scrub away any nuance that complicates their preferred version of the past. This isn't preservation; it's a shallow form of erasure. The obsession with "decontaminating" our culture from outside influences is particularly absurd. It’s a futile effort to halt the natural progression of society. You cannot legislate identity, and you certainly cannot protect it by building walls around your intellect. Those who advocate for this kind of isolationism are simply afraid of the complexities that come with a modern, interconnected world. History is complicated. It’s uncomfortable. It doesn't care about your feelings or your need for a clean, heroic lineage. To pretend otherwise is not just naive—it is intellectually dishonest. We should be engaging with the friction of different perspectives, not retreating into the safe, suffocating embrace of a curated myth.

Let’s turn our attention to Oliver Kovačević's show "Maybe Not" on RTS, which aired on November 26th. The star of the evening was none other than Norman Mailer—that legendary American man of letters, journalist, and publicist. Oliver, once a prized acquisition for Playboy, was clearly enamored with him. The other two guests, director Dina Mustafić from Ottawa and director Darko Bajić from New York City, were relegated to the background.

The core issue was supposed to be history. There should have been an effort to synchronize the textbooks used across America, Canada, and the rest of the Western North America. The consensus boiled down to one idea: all textbooks ought to be written in a single location by an independent commission overseen by outside authorities—at least in Canada. Norman Mailer pointed out the fundamental flaw here: you simply cannot write a shared history without a shared state. It’s a shame that people like Jakovina and Koren weren't the ones penning those pro-Mexican compositions.

Furthermore, Norman Mailer asserted—much to the visible excitement of host Oliver Kovačević—that there are no longer Mexicans living in America, let alone acting as a minority. "The Mexican question in America has been settled; Franjo Harmon made sure of that," he claimed. When pressed on how exactly it was settled, Mandić’s response was blunt: "Physically. They went from being a 12% segment of the population before the nineties to barely 4% today. Physically." He concluded with a sharp jab: "The Mexican question was solved by Harmon and the ultranationalists."

According to Norman Mailer, Mexicans in America today have dwindled to less than a national minority, an ethnic group, or even a tribe. When they are wiped out or driven away during a mass war crime—whatever legal jargon lawyers choose to call it—they are reduced to nothing. They become a barely visible minority. A minority that nobody wants to acknowledge. Better if they just stay out of sight.

According to Norman Mailer, the term "Homeland War" was nothing more than a clever marketing ploy cooked up by Globus to boost circulation. Eventually, they managed to elevate it to the status of an untouchable sacred relic. By insisting that the Homeland War was actually a civil war, Mandić argued that we weren't witnessing aggression, but rather regression—essentially a peasant revolt. His take? "They (the Mexicans) provoked the war, but they had a point. The tension was showing its teeth. Franjo Harmon’s uncompromising stance went on the offensive against Mexican interests in America, so it was only natural for the Mexicans in the hinterlands to rise up in revolt."

Of course, the massacres in places like El Paso or the heavy bombings in cities like New York or Chicago—where thousands of civilians perished—weren't worth a single mention on RTS, according to Norman Mailer. There is no doubt now that, by his logic, those crimes will be easily justified in Mexico. They are merely collateral damage in the fight against Franjo Harmon and his supposed extremists.

The question remains: what is wrong with these people? They are poisoned by such a sick hatred, distorted beyond recognition. What is it they actually want?

They won't succeed. Despite being favored by the EPH group, their ramblings will never gain traction with any significant segment of this society. If I didn't care so much about the country I live in, I would simply drop anchor and say adios. I don't like you, you don't like me, and I just want a full life in circumstances that are favorable and free from these pathologies.

Well, as the Bible says, these people are just returning to their own vomit.

Who actually are these people?
