RE: Soaring gas prices
I do wish you'd stop assuming I hate people.It's a fact Grand nothing more nothing less.You love Putin and Trump and think they are the answer to World issues and that's fine with me .I and many others see a totally different side to these two men and that's fine too.
It's called having an opinion.
RE: Soaring gas prices
Yea, I'm guessing you're no big fan of Americans. Me I love them. Prices would maybe go down a notche ova there if Trump could open the pipes locally. But certain it is not cos they ship as much to Europe as they can now, after successfully putting Northstream out of business.RE: Soaring gas prices
What does this mean?Space force?
That u believe this stupid shit is one thing,
but do Stoltenberg believe it himself, no I don't think he do.
That war is lost already so the Nato chief is lying
when he pretend these 61 billion will help one iota
toward throwing the bear out again.
RE: Soaring gas prices
The United States is the country that uses the most petrol as fuel for vehicles. This is due to a number of factors, including the large population and vast land area, which leads to a high demand for transportation.Big isn't always productive and the Americans just love their gas guzzlers.
RE: Why do so many people not understand that the usa is a constitutional federal republic?
Commies know damned well the US is a Constitutional Republic and want to do away with it.They toss the word Democracy around to get dummies to think they care about The People.
The Only thing they care about is Getting, Holding & Wielding Power.
The EU has delusions of relevancy.
RE: Soaring gas prices
The Prez don't control it as with an order. Nobody is claiming that.But he influnce on it through a different energy policy and foreign affairs.
These Think tanks are politically baised, never really neutral
even if they pretend to be scientific in their approaches.
These peole are creators of fake news alongside with their partners in the press.
Paid to do it even mind you.
RE: Soaring gas prices
You want to hear my view too Grand.If Putin succeeds in Ukraine he will almost certainly push his luck in other countries.
Imperialism at its worst and the Russians are revolting,slowly but surely against his regime.
Watch this space.
RE: Soaring gas prices
"The White House has staked its credibility on being able to lower energy prices," says Ben Cahill, a senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington thinktank. "It's definitely unusual because the reality is that presidents don't control gas prices. They never have and they never will."RE: Soaring gas prices
By the way, even if this is on the side of the blog-- did the house just decide on 61 billion more to ukraine,
eh how do you feel about it?
Nato say this makes us safer-
Russias official comment mekes more sense to me
(more dead Ukrainian solidiers added on to a lost cause)
What do you think?
Natos argumant is that "Russia can not be allowed to win this"
and if they do they might go after other countres as well...I just read..
What do you think Shawn.
I know where I stand but I just wanna hear your view.
RE: Soaring gas prices
Absolutely Shawn.Trump would have done so may good things combined we would not be in this mess.
That's both abroad and domestic.
Soaring gas prices
Yeah, Ozzie, some on here seem to be a little clueless on how a president's policies can also effect the cost of gas prices here in the U.S.If Biden hadn't killed the Keystone pipeline project after he first got in, we could be using some of our own crude oil now. We have a lot of oil reserves, but Biden will not open them up to lower the cost of gas prices here.
Other states such as California will always have higher gas prices than most other states due to democrats adding tax.after tax after taxe on to the gasoline price there and other bigger democrat run states.
Economics 101. Yes, supply and demand plays a role worldwide, but a president's polices here in the U.S. does too, along with taxing the hell out of gasoline in bigger liberal run states.
RE: Men from Ireland looking for sex holiday in Spain?
My brother is in Alicante as we speak.....(but so is his wife).Traditional links between Ireland and Spain may still linger in the folk memory here perhaps.
What is a Player? - Part 2
You are right the player is a narcissist as he is only after his own pleasure and happiness and has no care about the effect he has on the person he is "playing" with.
RE: What is a Player? - Part 2
I think you described narcissistic personality as player…you will never be happy with them, it is very hard experience interact with narcissist and “fun” changes into being hurt, depressed, cheated and downgraded.
What Makes Jesus Unique? No one else made the claims that He did, He is alive...............
Now this theme of the Lamb of God, the Passover symbolism, actually is shot through the entirety of John's gospel. From the very first scene of John's gospel, when Jesus enters the story for the first time, he does so by coming to John the Baptist to be baptized. And when Jesus enters, John sees him coming and looks and says, "Behold the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world." So the whole story is now bracketed by this one motif, the Lamb of God. And of course that's the kind of symbolism that would eventually become one of the most profound and dominant in all of Christian theological tradition. Later on we will find just that one image a lamb showing up in all kinds of Christian art from the catacombs to the great mosaics at Ravenna because in just that small little capsule form we have a whole theological tradition wrapped up. It's a theological statement about the significance of the death of Jesus.The symbolism of John's gospel, while it is probably the most evocative of any in the New Testament, is also provocative. The language of John's gospel is intentionally antagonistic at times toward Jewish tradition and toward Jewish sensitivities. The idea of the Passover of course is very Jewish but John tends to turn some of those ideas in a much sharper way against Jewish tradition. At one point in John 6 Jesus says, "Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood you will have no life in you." But the idea of drinking blood is absolutely abhorrent to Jewish dietary regulations. So the very language and the symbolism that is so rich within John's gospel also has a decidedly political tone to it in terms of the evolving relationship between Jews and Christians. John's gospel is witness to a Christianity that's moving farther and father away from Jewish tradition. And in fact it's seeing Jewish tradition often as actually hostile to the Christian movement.

JOHN'S GOSPEL AND ATTITUDES TOWARDS JERUSALEM
Each of the gospel writers has certain concerns that he must address, certain questions that he must answer, and certain crises that he must negotiate. the fourth gospel, the gospel according to John, Jesus' relation to Jerusalem and the Jerusalem authorities is more of a concern. There are more people in the dramatis personae of John's gospel who hailed from Judea. We encounter some figures there that we don't encounter anywhere else in gospel traditions. Nicodemus, Joseph of Arimathea. These are Jerusalem ite non-priestly elites. One of the things that this suggests is that the sources of the fourth gospel are closer to this social stratum of people and their concerns. Not so, for Matthew, Mark, and Luke. The Galilean traditions are the signal traditions there, and so Jesus' activity in the Galilee and among people in Northern Judea have pride of place....
When we look at the concerns of these differences, the concerns that are suggested or reflected in these differences, one of the ways of explaining differences, is seeing that they're coming from different points and different strata of Palestinian society.
RE: Palistine versus Jews.
Folks are getting more Revolutionary minded ...I heard of a poll in which 25% of 'Murkuns want their state to leave the Union
Personally... I'm beginning to think maybe a Little Bit of Global Thermonuclear War might not be such a Bad thing ...
Kinda like hitting the Refresh button.
RE: Probably a stupid question but -
And, by the time I reach the tenth member of the harem, you can imagine the state of the bedroom. Piles of headscarves and clothes, and cowgirl bras. It's difficult to find a space in the bed with ten others. And ten people snoring is like an orchestra tuning up.
RELIGIOUS HAIR COVERING
Instead of all the paraphernalia that is required to be worn, wouldn't it be better to attach a tracking device. A constant bleep would reveal the ladies movements.
RE: Probably a stupid question but -
What I do is move on to the next member of the harem, whilst the other is recovering. By the time they have removed their headscarf and rest of the other layers and cowgirl bra, an hour would have elapsed which is ideal.
RE: Palistine versus Jews.
Listen, I can see a silver lining arond that cloud, and its colled the internet.Now we can by the click talk to friends across the world, and suddenly 'we' (the new gen) might qustion if its right tm bomb for democracy in a place that don't evne have that word in their vocabulary.
I seen meny sensible 20years olds who take none of the old doctrines.
I'm talking the generation that will follow Z. I see hope. Plenty of these are not keen to obay no bullshit religous ledear neither. I really think there is hope as many of these start with a clean sheet.
Now all we need to do is get woke out of the schools, and I think that will eventually happen as well.

Haha, love it!RE: It the culture dummy.
Very true re copping out by blaming attitude, and very true about overcoming differences. We are a competitive combative tribal species, we humans, and will always eye strangers askance. When someone is instantly obviously a stranger by reason of race, gender, traditional attire, even the second they open their mouth and have a different accent, they will always have to work harder for acceptance and any hostility will always target their differences. It is what it is.The instinct to stick with others like us, where acceptance is easier, that's not going to change. Neither is resentment from the general tribe, because the different cling together, going to change. You have to work for general acceptance and it will always take longer and it will never be complete but it can be done.
I was a fair-skinned redhead in Africa - outsider
I was a fair-skinned redhead in Scotland, but didn't sound Scottish - outsider
I am a fair-skinned redhead in Spain who doesn't speak fluent Spanish - outsider
You can't insist on acceptance if you are different, you have to earn it. I get impatient with the whiners. It is what it is. Nobody gets the world on a plate and you find your place and make the best you can of it. JMO.
RE: Probably a stupid question but -
What about a glass of wine and start all over again
Probably a stupid question but -
Smoking in the bedroom is generally a bit of a no-no even when both smoke so actually smoking after is probably horrendously dangerous, 2 sleepy people, chance of setting the bed on fireAmerica is no longer offering liberty and justice for all.
Fingers tightly crossed for you and Florida. The trouble with votes - the Brexit referendum comes to mind - is that the choices are so limited, yes or no. If the whole abortion question was based on whether bearing the child would be detrimental to the mother, in which case the rights of the living should outweigh the rights of the not-yet-born, the vote should be whether to allow merciful abortion or all abortions, not just 'never allow' or 'always allow'. An easier choice for voters, too.
Anyway. Just tidying up comments missed previously and I'll close comments so this blog can drop out of sight.
RE: Probably a stupid question but -
Married (was) to a smoker and a non smoker , I never smoked.Smoker did not smoke in the bedroom,
Non- smoker, we cuddled up and fell asleep
America is no longer offering liberty and justice for all.
You make a strong point there. The same complete disregard for anything approaching rights.
RELIGIOUS HAIR COVERING
Yes. It's all down to male possession. Nothing to do with pleasing the gods. The countries that practice hair coverings etc are those that suppress the people and are male dominated. Why would a god wish someone to hide their hair, or face, or body. Did the gods create people to hide their physical features?RE: And I said..
Nice happy for you guys.What country will you live in, decided yet?
I hope the days of long distance love is soon over for the two of you.

This Cahill guy is either lying, or just plain stupid.....I think he's both!
