When he mentioned Marshall, some of the older folks in Indonesia actually recognized the name.
When he said America, a few people knew the deal and reacted with interest,
but when he just said USA, most people were completely lost.
It’s frustrating; a few people actually knew what he was talking about, which was a relief.

Honestly, we spend so much time debating our place in the world, yet half the globe doesn't even know where we are on a map.

So why was your friend even visiting those places? Was he conducting a survey to see if they knew about the USA, or was he there for something else (especially in Thailand)?

It's not half the world. A third of them don't even know where the USA is located...

WHERE WERE YOU IN '91 or '92?

Probably in Brooklyn...

They want to oppress the majority again... just like they used to. And they'll try to make it easy, just like their kids say, by repeating what happened at Ovchar...

I know what empathy is, believe me. But just because I know the definition doesn't mean you can't explain your side—whether you truly feel my lack of compassion stems from your own personal beliefs or something else!😍
So go ahead, let's hear it...🙂 🍿

And how exactly do you expect someone on the spectrum to explain what empathy is?

It would be just as absurd as trying to incorporate Ottoman Janissaries or D'Annunzio's Arditi into our current landscape.
That entire faction simply isn't playing the game anymore.

But how can you say you don't see them, when people are constantly dredging up Nazi history just to cover their own tracks?

velvetowl10: Into the category of free people, guided by liberal principles, unburdened by hatred toward others.

You talk about free people... but who actually set you free?
And then there's these "liberal principles"... which ones, exactly?
Then you mention being unburdened by hatred toward others. Well, thank God there are plenty of people different from you...

But if that's the case, how am I supposed to interpret this poll you posted?

Should we create reserves for Nazi scum?

Because then we have this:

Gosh, there are so many fools on this forum....

You know, the crazies in the asylum once said: "We'll see who's actually insane once we become the majority!"... just think
about your topic for a second.
