RE: Only the Irish can save Ireland

You've allowed yourself to be duped by the ultra-right and are helping to spread their propaganda.
If you travel to any western European country you'll see that we are still overwhelmingly white and mono cultural. Your fears are not rational, eventually someone is going to get killed by the people setting fires.

RE: Who is next?

Many people worldwide care deeply about the state of affairs in Ukraine, not just regarding Ukraine but the fact Russia decided to make an unprovoked attack on a sovereign nation, these people can see that should Russia succeed, then the many countries around Russia will also be targets for an invasion.

It is imperative that Ukraine is allowed to maintain its sovereignty and stop Russia's highly illegal war, not just for Ukraine but for all Russia's bordering nations.

The world needs to support Ukraine and end this war.

Thank you for caring!

I do understand when people don't care about events that happened in a faraway land they know nothing about and don't know nothing about. It is normal.

But I don't understand people, who support plundering and humiliation of a nation they don't care about. That's beyond me.

Thank you one again!

RE: Who is next?

From the last word of the journalist Roman Ivanov, sentenced a few days ago to seven years in prison for “fakes” - that is, for telling the truth about the crimes of the Russian army in Ukraine:
“I don’t want to talk and discuss about journalism, about its problems in Russia, because there is no journalism in Russia anymore. I don’t want to talk about the judicial system, about the court, because there is no judicial system, no justice in Russia either. I don’t want to talk about politics, which doesn’t exist in Russia either. I just want to say about us, about all people, about Russians. To say that we all want to be happy.
Man is designed in such a way that he dreams of his own happiness. Will those who brought this criminal case against me, who persecuted me, who judge me, who protect me, be happy? if I am unhappy, if my family is unhappy? Of course not. We must ask ourselves why we sow grief and misfortune around us, while our country has simply turned into an avalanche of grief and misfortune."

The details:

“Learned today. And it shook me. Remember, that at the day of funeral they didn’t close the cemetery at 17.00 as usual, but kept it open until 22.00? The thing is, when at 17.00 they told Ludmila Navalnaya to leave the cemetery, she answered: “No, not going to leave. People is still coming. I’ll wait for everyone, who came to Lesha (Aleksei).” They started to threaten her that they will take her out by force. “Do it”, she said calmly. They didn’t dare. The mother of her son. A bow.”

Who is next?

The third day people is bringing flowers to Navalny's grave.

As the poet said:

"They have mercy on martyrs,
pray for them, say they go to heaven.
Not so nice with the living,
but sure, we care for the dead."


The current regimen has openly admitted that it is a sub-human species.

- at least they don't arrest the peaceful protesters.
- at least they don't beat the peaceful protesters.
- at least they don't issue prison time to peaceful protesters.
- at least they don't torture you in prison for a peaceful protest.
- at least they don't kill you in prison for a peaceful protest.
- at least they release the body of a killed peaceful protester to his mother.
- at least they allow to bury the body of a killed peaceful protester.
- at least they don't beat the mourners, bringing flowers to the grave of a killed peaceful protester.

As they say on the maps: Russia, you are here.

When you thought you reached the bottom, putler knocked from under.

Who is next?

I've reread my opening post and then the replays. Well... I am glad that people have reacted in one or another way, but you can notice that no one said: there will be no next. People discussing something or other, not so much the political prisoners' fate and when doing so it comes out as discussion a race horse stature; it's chances to win. No one said: there should be no next.

But there should be NO NEXT. Political prisoners should be FREE.

It's the Russian (original) version of the paper and the link leads to a place there you can lit a (virtual) candle for Navalny, if you want to.

RE: Who is next?

My point was that when you learn and understand history you can see a commonality between the rise of dictators. Exactly what Trump is doing right now. It was not an insult!

It is your right to love and admire a proven criminal, woman abuser and pathological liar, I however, would prefer a president with integrity, and who is respectful of the entire population.

I too, find it unreasonable that you refuse to look at the whole picture and demand that I use blinkers rather than see exactly what is happening.

Your link leads to a article about Dmitry Bykov. Yes, I know about him and like him a lot, thanks.

Here's a link to one of Shulman's lecturer, if you are interested. It's about state of mind in Russia for a few months ago:

How does Trump stand for freedom when he has stated he will lock up anyone who has opposed him?

Surely you are not that blind?

I think you are mistaken about Riz. History will repeat itself if we do not learn from it. The message he is trying to convey is not an insult but a warning if we choose to look the other way.

RE: Who is next?

Time you read some actual history books on dictators like Pol Pot, Hitler, Kim Jong Un etc etc. They may well open your eyes to the terrifying aspect of Trump being elected President of the USA.

If history can provide a lesson to learn from, it would be a mistake to accept the word of Putin and think that will be the end of aggression.

RE: Who is next?

So you keep saying ,but are you really sure about that.

This is what the Czech president thinks:-

"Russian President Vladimir Putin, after his expected re-election as head of state, will seek to achieve at least partial goals - full control over the occupied regions, especially Donbas," he says.

At the same time, Pavlo notes that the war in Ukraine will not end quickly, "because neither Russia nor Ukraine can achieve their goals."

"Logically, Ukraine seeks to regain full control over its territory within internationally recognized borders, which should be supported," he says.


Why is no-one else allowed to put themselves forward for election in the next Vote for Presidency in Russia . Makes Putin appear like a despot to be honest .What is he afraid of?

I am a treasure girl...

I have a nephew who was working in Miami. He said his salary wasn't enough to live on. Putting out resumes and a company in California interviewed him. They hired him at twice what he was making here.
It sounded like a lot, but in reality, that only lasted a year as his cost of living expenses exceeded that 'larger' salary. The family packed up and moved to Ohio where his father subsidized his expenses.

I did read a story about a husband and wife making over $600,000 and unable to make ends meet!!

RE: Changing someones opinion... in CS

I have one fact for you Chat:
Trump
is 100% worked against in norwegian press.
We have no Fox here u see.
How do you explain such a bias?

The man is a perverted dangerous satan with the worst morals you can find.

That would be a fact judging by what I hear here in our main stream media.

RE: Changing someones opinion... in CS

It's probably due to most Democrats being far too intelligent to start supporting the defunct Republican party, while those who are part of the Trump cult find it impossible to realise they have been lied to and manipulated due to a severe lack of intelligence. Just my opinion, not based on any actual facts.

RE: President Trump has made 4,229 false or misleading claims in 558 days

"like any con artist he knows if you say the same thing often enough, and confidently enough, some will take it as truth."

That is, if they even remember what they heard the other day. Americans are notorious for short attention spans that correspond with the interval between commercials.

RE: President Trump has made 4,229 false or misleading claims in 558 days

When John McCain died, the Halifax Chronicle Herald posted a political cartoon of Trump standing and holding an open newspaper with the headline "John McCain Lies In State" and Trump's comment "Big deal. I do that every day."

RE: HOLIDAY IN THAILAND

You are a comedian...
The moment you mentioned Trump...lol...laugh
When travelling abroad it is important to be aware of what kind of scams that are taking place including illegal activity such as sex trafficking (underage) unless you want to end up in jail and on the sex offenders list...
It is also important to be realistic and self aware...in regards of being scammed for financial gain...a young woman is probably not wanting your company if you are an old white dude unless there is some kind of payment involved...so if you are looking for a love match...probably not going to happen...
Nothing wrong with paying for sex or companionship with another consenting adult but be mindful of the risks involved...
I said nothing about the intelligence of the young women...it is the disadvantage of being poor that is why they are hustling in bars...

RE: HOLIDAY IN THAILAND

Why are you surprised that some women are sent out by their poor families to make money by being employed by such places?...they are prostitutes...
Why would any young girl be interested in an old white male if they didn't have money (or willing) to spend on them...doh

RE: Men from Ireland looking for sex holiday in Spain?

Why are most men that decide to mail me here are from Ireland?
I don't expect them to be from Spain as most live far away, so why Ireland, and not England, France, Netherlands or anywhere else.


Maybe its the green hair ?

Luck of the Irish to be sure to be sure

RE: HOLIDAY IN THAILAND

Phuket has some wonderful beaches and a lively nightlife.

If you want a genuine holiday experience then I recommend Chiang Mai, amazin scenery and waterfalls,
There is an elephant sanctuary that needs to be seen to be believed and a fantastic rafting experience on the Mae Wang River.

Thailand is not the same today as it was 30 years ago, but you can still have a great time away from the sex and rip-off bars in Bangkok.

The best thing about Thailand is the food.

RE: HOLIDAY IN THAILAND

I went to Thailand for a few weeks with a friend...there was a few locals trying to get us to stay at their hotels which they receive a commission for...
There are no 'girls' for your pleasure/touring...roll eyes and you do not want to get too cozy with some as there are signs put up around most hotels or guest houses alerting tourists about 'ladyboys'...as many a tourist cannot tell the difference as they do seem feminine...wow
However, it is a place (Thailand) where many males with some money go to exploit young girls...a p*dophile's paradise...fortunately common wealth countries working with these sex tourist hotspots are alerted and charge these 'vacationers' with a sex crime and they will greet you at the airport with handcuffs...applause
It is most unpleasant that you would joke about this as many girls are being exploited...not so much fun for them...sigh as I have seen the BS that goes on in some of the bars there...lots of older males from the UK hanging out with their 'girlfriends'...the men probably live there for 6 months out of the year...
Thailand is a cheap destination for people including backpackers...there are others things to do there...the beaches are beautiful and the local travel agencies can help you plan activities such as...fishing and snorkeling trips/excursions and Thai cooking classes to name a few.. wine
