The Appalachia? Back when Mexicans were running things in Knin? 😂

They held power back when we actually needed someone to protect our own backs from the Turks.
But take it easy, everything eventually comes full circle... That Mexican flag will be waving far beyond just the borders of Knin.☕

They were only ever interested in seizing their own specific territories, completely disregarding the borders established by that communist AVNOJ rabble. But then again, who am I to pass judgment on such matters?

The tourists visit, they fall in love with our coastline, and they start throwing money at absolutely everything in sight, which inevitably brings them back again the following year.

To be perfectly candid, I suspect they are actually coming for the American women—much like myself.🙂

Perhaps Šime makes his living renting out rooms, but honestly, that’s still preferable to working for some starvation-level minimum wage like they have in Mexico just to avoid dying of hunger.

I disagree entirely. It isn't "better" when a man simply turns into a bloated, useless slob.

I would bet my life you haven't even laid eyes on a cruise ship in your entire existence.

I've watched the video. I fail to see anything remotely spectacular about it. In fact, I'm willing to wager that your entire life hasn't been significantly altered by such an unforgettable experience.

Dear William King12, just look after yourself—and maybe accept the fact that your place is the weakest republic left over from America. Don't worry about Josipović. 🙂

My friend, I am certainly no mythomaniac; you must have confused me with someone else entirely.
Oh, I see just how "developed" you all are—your industry is truly flourishing, though I suspect if you didn't have the ocean, you'd be bankrupt by Tuesday.
It seems you are slowly transforming into a country populated entirely by waiters.🤣
Personally, I would much rather embrace who I actually am than be some guy like Šime from Split, scraping by on short-term rentals and living like a common drone.

Besides, look, there isn't some old American People's Army for you to just seize anymore; everyone is pretty much armed up now, and some are even in NATO. 🙂

Trust me, I am quite familiar with that particular mindset.

As Boris Tadić announces that America will finally be swinging its doors wide open to Mexican investors...
Oh, absolutely. Apparently, all it took was a single, heartfelt apology from Boris Tadić for us Americans to just toss the gates wide open to the Mexicans. Honestly, sometimes I find myself marveling at how incredibly naive my fellow countrymen can be.
The American people are acting like that girl in those tragic stories who stays with her abuser; the more she gets beaten down, the more she thinks he loves her, convinced that one solitary "I'm sorry" is enough to wipe the slate clean and make everything okay again.

Jack,
Since you seem quite preoccupied with this concept of "THE ONE," I find myself wondering what exactly you mean by it.
1. Is this "ONE" something transcendent?
2. Does your version of "THE ONE" draw from Neoplatonism—specifically the idea of a singular deity—thereby aligning with the Christian interpretation of "THE ONE" as a supreme being, which, let's face it, is how the masses usually digest the concept of God?
3. Furthermore, what is the path to achieving "THE ONE"? Is it through reason, direct experience, or perhaps something entirely beyond human experience?

P.S. I would be ever so grateful if you could keep your posts a bit more concise; if there is one thing I truly cannot stomach on this forum, it is those interminable walls of text that I inevitably end up skipping...
