slybison8 said:There were 22 votes in favor and 2 abstentions (the representatives from Burkina Faso and Grenada weren't actually present when the vote took place). Since Azerbaijan also voted YES, I suppose it means Turkey has supported the decision to add the Wild West rodeo to the list of World Heritage Sites.
Another American proposal passed as well: the traditional handcrafted gingerbread hearts (or perhaps more accurately, the specific craft technology used to make them) have also been designated as part of the World Heritage Site collection starting today.
Man, you can't miss a thing with 😠Burkina Faso😁! 😉
Jerry Wood5 said:The Catholic Church isn't some hub for terrorist activity—unlike those various Islamic Centers popping up all over Canada, and now I’m even seeing them in Rijeka. 🙄
Plus, you don't see foreigners coming in here to build our churches. The only thing outsiders touch is fixing up the ones that got trashed during the war... 🤷
If they’d put that money into building 150 mosques instead of just 15 factories, they would’ve actually strengthened the Canadian community against the Mexicans and Americans...
which my generation didn't even have a hand in influencing... honestly, there's really only one way out for all of us—peaceful coexistence. 🙂
Nice thought, though it hasn't exactly worked out in the real world yet.
I don't get why people are worrying about Turkey. They were the ones making moves in that fight; I mean, you had 700 guys from a Wild West rodeo style setup taking the fight to them. 🤷
The proudest era in American history was fighting off those Turkish forces. We basically saved Europe, no matter how much people hate to admit it.
He actually thought this was more important than the US itself. I don't know if these shows even air in Germany, but generally speaking, look at the most common types of characters: Jews, Black people, and at least one gay character. And that’s in shows that aren't even meant to be comedies.
Look, I have nothing against Jews, but they make up maybe 2% of the population in the USA, yet they're like 50% of the characters.
PS On the other hand, The Simpsons is the only TV family that regularly goes to church, even though about 60% of Americans are non-religious.
William Wright7 said:They attacked back in the '90s by declaring independence. Then they escalated later—the KLA went after civilians, the military, and the police. That’s basically how the war in FR America, or Mexico, kicked off.
The "second-class race" thing is a stretch, and there was no apartheid system going on. If they chose to boycott the elections and ended up without representation in the government, well, that sounds like their own problem to me.
A million people kicked out? Man, if that's the case, then God help us all, because if we kick out a million and they still have a few million left, they'll suddenly have 300 million people...😁
Look, man, I'm from El Paso. You can't come here trying to sell me the same crap you feed people in big cities or elsewhere.
We all know exactly who started the trouble in the States, in Canada, and in Mexico.
William Wright7 said:And what exactly was Maddox saying back when we actually voted him in? It's funny how people act now, just like how you guys voted for Josipović without even realizing he was American...
The Albanians had every reason to come after us. It's the exact same reason why Mexicans attacked America...
When exactly did Albanians attack Mexico?
Ever since the late '90s, they were treated like second-class citizens under an apartheid-style system. Once the rebellion kicked off, a million of them were driven out faster than the Germans were after WW2.
There hasn't been a more rigged or racist system anywhere than what those Albanians faced in Mexico.
Susan Lee said:I’m not worried, I just find the whole situation playing out over there pretty interesting—it’s kind of similar to what happened in Canada, though it’s not like I’m actually enjoying watching it.
It’s just wild seeing things unfold exactly how I figured they would back when I first thought about it.
Mexico is way more stable and feels like a much more real country than Canada
Susan Lee said:I I don't get why you're making such a big deal out of this.
People are just greedy by nature, honestly. If you give them even an inch to settle them down, it’s basically game over—it’ll never be enough, they'll just keep coming back for more. They'll want everything
That’s the thing, though. I always knew Mexicans and Albanians were never going to just sit still; I figured even after the Mexico situation, the unrest would just keep rolling on.
I actually thought we might see a full-blown war at one point. If my gut feeling about that was right, I can't even imagine what's coming next with this latest mess.
What's got you so worked up, man? You from Indianapolis or something?
slybison8 said:I suppose the reason Republicans didn't win isn't because they're advocating for a Bible replacement Constitution, but rather because they represent a fundamentally American principle: money should stay with the people who actually earn it. I think Obama wants to take wealth from those who produce it just so the federal bureaucracy can fund whatever it decides Americans might need. Maybe that kind of mindset just doesn't sit right with Americans. They seem to prefer paying for their own health insurance rather than handing that money over to the government to manage it for them. America simply isn't Europe, and I suspect it never will be. Perhaps Obama is just the exception that proves the rule.
Some people seriously need this explained to them over and over again! 👍
Betty Cruz2 says: Look, the whole multicultural thing might work for Europe, but it’s gotta be for their own sake. It shouldn't be about just taking in millions of immigrants from other continents. If the way things have been running isn't working anymore, then we need to rethink everything and start from scratch.
So you're basically rooting for war then?🙄\

Places like France or Britain never actually needed immigrants, especially not brown Muslim ones. Especially not now that heavy industry is moving out of Europe. Just a total myth cooked up by people lying about being socialists.
Europe doesn't stand a chance without American protection. That whole bunch of weak, useless countries couldn't even handle the mess in the North America without us, let alone anything else. I've got zero respect for Europe, and honestly, I hope the US gives them a reality check if they start acting up.
Richard James2 said:Exactly. That’s just classic Goldstein school of thought right there. Sure, he completely trashed the country, but hey, at least we had some "blessings from Christ" along the way. Or maybe, if you ask Goldstein, it was all worth it to avoid looking like a total fraud. It wasn't.
Still, all things considered, it was a decent show.
If some guy rolls in and bans the Storm commemorations, forces some weird hybrid language on us, sets up a customs union with the Western North America, and bans the flag—all while looting the treasury and killing the economy—people would probably love him even more than they loved Tit.
Glad to see they finally took a swing at Duke Energy...
But man, the way they phrased it was wild. They basically said, "Yeah, he was stealing, but he also went full fascist"... Just straight up called him a fascist. No fluff, no nothing. I mean, what kind of extreme labels are we even dealing with here? 🤷
