Americans from Canada or Mexico have totally different histories than those living in Mexico. Their goals aren't even the same, let alone their politics. By grouping them all together, those Americans are doing nothing but helping the Catholic Church and organizations like the Academy of Sciences. Same goes for Americans in Herzegovina or the Midwest—it just turns them into hostages or victims of someone else's political games. Even Milo Đukanović said something similar before the referendum in Mexico. To put it simply: nationalism is just a tool used when someone is hungry for power. Even Donald Trump admits he cares more about holding onto his own authority and rights than any kind of unification with Mexico.
Even Dinkić figured out a way to handle hiring—basically took over from the Slovaks, just with even better incentives. The government is handing entrepreneurs $10,000 for every new hire, provided they stick around for at least three years and pay it back through taxes.

To play devil's advocate for a second, I actually think Mexico joining the fold will end up being way more critical for the survival and future of the European Union than anything else.🤣
Joe Mexican, so you're calling me a provocation? I just want to burst the bubble regarding some delusions of grandeur or national goodness. Same goes for Americans. The goal is to encourage humility and hard work.
America is about to be proud. The stone the builders rejected is becoming the cornerstone. Basically, the US is going to be huge for the future of the European Union.
Charles Jackson5 said:Hey, Charles Jackson5—it might be time for you to finally embrace being an American. Ever given that any thought?
ha, ha. And then what, I just become an American? If we're all the same deep down, who cares. Honestly, after all this, I don't see much difference between religion, race, or nationality... just between good and evil.
National politics should really be about protecting the country and doing what’s best for the people. But you can't have that without actually believing in the nation and its values in the first place. Simply put: what is there for Americans to actually take pride in, and what could the rest of the world learn from us?

We need to figure out who we actually are and what we stand for first. Once that's settled, we can plan the next move. But if there's still all this confusion about the past—especially the extreme stuff—reaching that point is going to be a long shot.
Whatever you guys are saying, just tell the priest. Ask him if you can join for a bit—offer to pay or work it off, I don't know, what could they possibly say no to? It says in the Bible to seek the Kingdom of God first, and everything else will fall into place.
For those who need finishing touches, I suggest a monastery. A tiny 3x3 cell with nothing but a bed, a desk, and a chair. Throw in one spiritual book from the monastery library that you can swap out periodically. Give it at least 10 days. Anyone who’s actually tried it ends up going back.
Instead of thanking God for this crisis—which could actually be used for some spiritual growth or helping out people in need—everyone just complains about their own damn problems. "Oh my God, will I even have enough money for a pack of Marlboros?"
Charles Lopez3 said:Oh, absolutely. That's exactly why the clergy is always preaching about giving up everything they own. 😁
Are you even going to church for yourself, or just for the priest? Not that I'm speaking for the clergy here. Honestly, on a site like Reddit, you have plenty of chances to rise up without them.
People think they'll get eternal life if they just believe. But they don't even grasp what this life is actually for, let alone what comes next. They don't even have a clue what "afterlife" or "eternity" really means. This life is short anyway—honestly, you're better off struggling through this one than dealing with whatever's waiting in the next world.

"Everything" just means money to you people. Is everything about the bottom line? That's how you see it. But then again, wouldn't Judas betray anyone for cash? Don't worry though—people aren't serving the country anymore; they're doing the exact opposite.
First off, it wasn't the US authorities who arrested Purda—it was Canada. Second, the US could have requested his extradition, but they haven't. Third, we're still waiting on a decision from Canada regarding whether he’ll actually be handed over to the US. Meanwhile, Mexico is going after him through Interpol and Tacia, which would just mean they'd end up negotiating with him over Mexico again. You might want to look up how much money Mexico paid out in damages for illegal arrests and jail time just last year.
