RE: We are our souls.

I love this quotation and for me it says it all. Others can make or break us if we allow them and unfortunately there are many broken souls in this world still reaching out for love.

As in the words of the song "Love is a many spendoured thing" and sadly difficult to find in today's world of deceit . Having experienced the tidal waves of love in the past I'm now on the shoreline with wonderful friends and content. I have the good memories, the bad,and even the ugly memories but my inner strength carried me through.

Life on earth is about learning lessons .

RE: New word old meaning

About 1 in 500 men are born with Klinefelter Syndrome which is XXY, or XXXY, or XXXXY and so on.

About 1 in 2,500 women are born with Turner Syndrome where the X chromosome is partially, or completely missing. There are many variations.

About 1 in 1,000 men are born with Jacob's syndrome which is XYY.

We have always had multiple genders. Some societies have insisted there are only two genders for convenience, or power and control. Others are more open to individual differences.

Your op really muddles the difference between gender and sexuality, as well as displaying ignorance with respect to genetic gender variations.

If you're struggling with gender, I have a fairly easy solution: if someone presents as a man, say he; if someone presents as a woman, say she; if you're not sure use they.

For example, if someone is wearing a frock and heels, they are presenting as woman. It makes no difference if they are a svelte twinkle-toes, or 6'4" square-jawed rugby player.

Sexuality is who you fancy, not your gender. For those of us who are pansexual, the person is more important than the shape and location of their genitals. Would it be so bad if someone adored you because you are you?

RE: God Bless the USA !

You are shit stirring OP...lol...
Your efforts to gain attention is comical...it seems you have a limited education background...not just in schooling but in life...I wonder if you ever traveled out of the USA or perhaps just in areas that cater to some who like all inclusive trips with the notion that they keep the locals out...
Kate Smith is dead...leave her out of it...

RE: God Bless the USA !

I had a look at this too and it sure doesn't look like the U.S bears the brunt when you consider the UK's size and payment in comparison to the U.S

RE: God Bless the USA !

Get off your high horse gal. The allies won the war including America and not forgetting Russia who also suffered tremendous losses.Your debt was paid in full by 2006

The debt was to be paid off in 50 annual repayments commencing in 1950. Some of these loans were only paid off in the early 21st century. On 31 December 2006, Britain made a final payment of about $83m (£45.5m) to the US and about $23.6m to Canada.

You didn't pull England's butt out of the fire in World War 2 The whole of Europe was involved or have you conveniently forgotten about Italy and Mussolini who allied himself with Germany.

On December 7, 1941, Japan staged a surprise attack on Pearl Harbour, decimating the US Pacific Fleet. When Germany and Italy declared war on the United States days later, America found itself in a global war.

Carry on with your lauding of the U.S.A your adopted country,but for goodness sake give it a rest on attacking the U.K in almost every blog you post .

RE: God Bless the USA !

You really should do some homework before you post galrads.

Just to name a few:-

Have you forgotten 911 and the war your country started in Afghanistan Who did you call Blockbusters? No you called in us Brits.

Who started the war in Iraq? Who helped you out, Europe.

You don't keep us as your own economy is in crisis and you only just avoided a recession in 2023 so I'd go easy on all those takeaways if I were you.

RE: God Bless the USA !

God bless all countries of the World or don't we all count.

RE: God Bless the USA !

So you want to withdraw from a treaty that was instigated by America ,for America and Europe.


Who originally proposed NATO?

In May of 1948, Republican Senator Arthur H. Vandenburg proposed a resolution suggesting that the President seek a security treaty with Western Europe that would adhere to the United Nations charter but exist outside of the Security Council where the Soviet Union held veto power.

That 's an extremely selfish attitude about cost cutting when one compares the size of America to the rest of Europe.We are all struggling at the moment in case you haven't noticed.No thanks to our dear friend Putin of course.

RE: God Bless the USA !

I'm neither left ,right or aggressive Grand ,I'm a thinker and please do explain where my post expresses anger.

RE: God Bless the USA !

Can the people who agree with Trump's claims that NATO members aren't paying their 'bills' please be more specific? Which countries owe how much, to whom and for what? Before you put pen to paper ,as
yet ,Ukraine is NOT a member of NATO.

Answers on a postage stamp please.


Militarily and economically, the U.S. is a hugely formidable power. It has the largest nuclear arsenal on earth and continues to be the largest economy in the world. Yet, without its allies in Asia, and above all without those in Europe, the U.S would be a much diminished superpower. For instance, most Western countries purchase their arms and military equipment from the U.S.and that could possibly be diminished if the U.S pulls out of NATO under Trump.

By the way Sweden became NATO's 32nd Ally on 7 March 2024.

Man 64 yr-old man seeking woman, 18-35

Just a thought: He thinks he will spend a lot of time in bed with her - she thinks, they will be spending most of their time shopping and shopping - till he drops dead, from exhaustion

RE: Man 64 yr-old man seeking woman, 18-35

It is his lost.
Women around his age will give him a happy, peaceful, and loving relationship.

No wander most of the Men are bitter, they want to achieve what they can't obtain.

Man 64 yr-old man seeking woman, 18-35

I wouldn't want such a "young" guy, although most of those I did meet were younger.
He says he is polite - well...
Maybe he wants a nurse for his old age.

RE: YULIYA NAVALNAY'S PROTEST.

What's so funny?

RE: So where's THE DUKE

Oh okay I just posted on Chat's blog then went looking for the accuser he mentioned, well, those two do have a history of animosity.

Hey, Itchy! Yup, I want Luke back too, I don't agree with him on US politics but much much MUCH rather have political blogs banned (I'm sure the mods asked people to quit the political blogs already) than bloggers! US politics has pretty much destroyed what used to be fun reading, every blog on the foul topic either punching or poking or needling or bellowing. This is not a political site! Go find political sites!!

And give us Luke back. If there's a petition, tell me where to sign -

RE: False accusations...

Moderation here is up to the site. So if I am consistently using bad language, intimidating, making threats towards other users I will eventually get banned etc. So it does not matter if a person is well liked or not. It’s also based on those who report others here.

CS has the right to remove and suspended users, remove content that is bound by their own terms and conditions.

Millions are accustomed to expressing themselves online which can be very explosive due to the topic, especially politics, religion, climate change, gender etc. its a huge challenge for them to monitor all posts effectively especially with so much toxicity, let alone content that is disturbing and harmful.

I don’t know if CS carry out any risk assessments, or what the scope/criteria would be. Any site can be found in breach of its own moderation practices, sued, fined along with court proceedings. It’s not just fb, insta etc. it also applies here.

Now if I complain to Ofcom they will investigate irrespective of the jurisdiction.

Scenario- Iets say I get banned and you post that this has happened, times, dates, perhaps why. I can put in a complaint to Ofcom and they will investigate it because my claim would be that irrespective of my behaviour which warranted a ban you and others took advantage of my demise and initiated conversations about me which caused me emotional harm, being subject to others ridicule and defamation of character, intimidation to name but a few.

The whole world can see these forums, it’s not private.

RE: False accusations...

What makes you pose such a question, or even think I would want to intimidate anyone?

Why do you think I want to intimidate your or anyone. I find that thought of yours very bizarre indeed.

Blind I am not. If one enjoys a good debate that descends into calling people names and ridiculing them so be it,

I have no interest in getting involved in all the argy bargy debates about politics and other subjects.

RE: False accusations...

I’m a sense, yes you are reporting it because you out up this blog highlighting your situation, whilst at the same time alerting others.

RE: False accusations...

To note there has been far worse on the blogs and forums. This one time a user was pursued relentlessly by other members around 2022, mainly on the forums, bitter, twisted, trying to really run the person down with no success. In fact it had the opposite affect. Eventually it was locked down.

It was not a matter of liking or disliking the individual concerned, it was about the vicious behaviour that member was subject to.

In my opinion, strictly mine only, I do not think this blog was necessary, At the end of the day where is the evidence, based on what, a greyed out profile or a user not posting, sending messages only? Many users who get into conflicts, disagreements or arguments here called each other names, follow each other around. That is to be expected.

We all know people get banned or suspended for one reason and another.

If one starts off with a provocation then expect a reaction.

Keep on zapping the scammers. But could you stomach reporting sites where there is really bad stuff involved causing pain and harm to humans? Because those kinds of sites do get shut down only for more to appear, it’s a job that many simply would not do. So I give those involved a lot of credit in reporting such horrendous abuse.
