RE: REPORT: Trump Approval Rating Much Higher Than Media Wants You To Believe

Why would Trump upset the Arab Prince? He needs him for his hotel? Business before Country

RE: 2 strikes

It also reflects how the rest of the world view the States, bad enough having a moron for a leader, but that the people actually put him there makes the world assume all Americans are stupid. Time the intelligent stand up and take notice.

Trump has no understanding of Asian culture, he has no idea of the "Losing face" concept, that is so important to China. There is no way the USA will win the trade war, iF China gave in it would mean that Xi would lose face, something he would do anything to prevent happening. Xi is well aware that if he fails to win against the USA, then his position will collapse and most likely the entire Chinese government party alongside him.

That cannot happen.

RE: Why can't we communicate

I live in China most of the time, sometimes I don't fully understand when spoken to in Chinese, is that their fault ? or mine?

We need to learn how to communicate in order to communicate, men and women often do not speak the same "language", even when they share the same basic etymological roots. All about experience I guess.grin

RE: Laundry is perpetual...

As soon as I arrived in China, I found the Uni I started with, had a washing machine on my balcony, except it was to top loading cold water machine, Within a month I had bought a front loading hot water machine lol. My neighbours thought I was mad, especially the old lady downstairs who religiously washed her clothes in the nearby river!!
Ten years later most apartments have hot water, front loading machines, and best of all, if you hang out the washing on the balcony early morning, by 5pm it is fully dry. Most apartments have a covered balcony and a rail that sticks out for when sunny.

RE: "We Are The World"

Since its release, "We Are the World" has raised over $63 million (equivalent to $141 million today) for humanitarian causes. Ninety percent of the money was pledged to African relief, both long and short term.

I cannot find any reference to it taking 6 months to go for sale, it was written and recorded late January 1987 and was on sale 7th March 1987. So just over a month to manufacture millions of copies.

Oh, so that makes all okay then? Wow,
Ever stopped to think? She was HIS WIFE, she had to show loyalty, even if it goes against her true belief.

Bet if it was your husband, you would have said something very different (in private), besides, there is a pattern with Trump, he consistently supports men who have been accused of inappropriate behaviour, while belittling women who oppose his views.

In my opinion (worthless I know) any woman who supports Trump must have very low self-esteem.

RE: traveling abroad

Just thought of something elsegrin .Philippine money in notes 1000, 500, 200 (not so common) 100 50 20.
1000 peso is around 18 dollars, ATMs and FX agents tend to only give 1000 and 500 notes, shops and especially taxis will always ask for exact money, taxi drivers never carry change, so a 300 peso trip could cost you 500, just because you only have 1000's or 500's, so always carry low denomination notes and loads of coins. This is NOT Philipine specfic, Just about every country in the world is the same, especially Taxis.

Note the 1000 and 100 are similar to the unaware although the new notes are much better, still easy to make a mistake.

RE: traveling abroad

I am NOT a morning person, I function far better after 11pm not 11 am lol, but have got used to everything being closed by 9pm here in China, OK the big cities are different, Shanghai is 24 hour mayhem, but where I am I can walk around the town centre at 10pm and hear the echo of my footsteps.
For some unfathomable reason, Asians like to sleep early and get up at 4:30am, They think I am lazy when they find out I get up at 7:30 am.

RE: traveling abroad

Yes, San Antonio is terrible, but there are other places, like Santa Eularia, well away from the "party" area, but take your point, we are talking about Asia, most people are asleep in bed before 10 pm, so poetic license on the party scene lol.

RE: traveling abroad

That info would stop me from travelling there OMG scaryNot my intention, but Asia is not like visiting Spain or Canada or even Ozland, it is different, but using common sense and being aware of the cultural difference, it is as safe as anywhere in the world except for the Island of Mindanao, which is a training base for ISIS. Cebu City is a party city, the Asian version of Ibiza lol

RE: Regarding the protests ongoing at this moment on the Capitol steps

@ Elegsabiff

It baffles me also, that some who appear to have common sense and world knowledge, allow themselves to get swept up in the lies and propaganda, and then accuse those who point out the actual reality and maybe some questions need to be asked, of being ignorant and libtardslaugh

I know sometimes I play the "devils advocate", but only to try and get some to look at what they are posting and maybe they need to start to question.

Can't see your point, they would still be born, but with a different father, maybe as a different gender or with different personalities, characteristics but they would still exist. The mother remains the same. (in the majority of cases).

RE: Do you believe that everything happens for a reason? Or that things that happen as the result of our

I don't believe in destiny, we all have the choice to make choices, good or bad, the result of our choice then leads to more choices.
We usually fail in life when we allow others to make choices for usprofessor

RE: Perjury ? Looks like it

Cont. from the snopes site quoted above.
"The code does provide an exemption that would cover Ford as a university researcher, however.

California Board of Psychology assistant executive officer Jeffrey Thomas told us that the title “psychologist” is indeed protected, meaning that it is against the law to falsely represent oneself as a psychologist without proper certification. But the law does allow those who work at research institutions to state their professional role so long as they note that it is specific to the facility at which they are employed."

So she didn't lie or misrepresent herself.

RE: Perjury ? Looks like it

Seeing as both Ford and Kavanaugh are such liars, why not let them share a prison cell? Save the country a nickel or two

RE: Dr. Blasey-Ford's Links To The CIA -

Correct, but you need to add a preposition, for example, "If I were to admit to being guilty" would be, as you said, a hypothetical situation.
Without the preposition "to", "were" would be grammatically incorrect, "was" is indeed correct.

As I were trying to explain, sorry, As I was trying to explain to the Filipino

RE: Dr. Blasey-Ford's Links To The CIA -

It really doesn't matter what background Kavanaugh's accusers have, in fact, it doesn't matter whether any of the accusations are true or not, Kavanaugh has shown that when under pressure, he becomes over emotional, aggressive and belligerent, characteristics that should not be apparent in a Supreme Judge, A Supreme judge should be calm, detached and concerned only with the Law, not emotion.
KAVANAUGH has proved, without a shadow of doubt, that he is NOT a suitable candidate.

RE: Thank you Democrats. The Democrats united the Trump and Bush wings of the party

So you think it is good for American Justice to have a right wing politically biased highest court in the country?

And those you mock so easily want a moderate unbiased balanced court.

Are you sure the Republicans are better people than those you despise?

RE: Thank you Democrats. The Democrats united the Trump and Bush wings of the party

These posts make it seem like it is all over and Kavanaugh has been given the position, yet that is far from the truth. From my understanding, there will now be a full FBI investigation, and the results from that may well give a result the above posters won't like'

The OP said, "Overall, I'd say that Kavanaugh won the day." I think we must have been watching a very different court appearance.

One person spoke calmly, answered every question and offered to give more information if required, they remained calm even when some emotion took control. Whereas the other was aggressive, incredibly rude to some court officials. lost his temper and was visibly out of control, and refused to answer some questions, or answered with a question or answered a different question.

Maybe Ford should be offered the position Kavanaugh so desperately wants, she would be a far better person IMO.

It may be a comedy show, but certainly makes you think, and question the suitability of Kavanaugh
