The answer is simple but likely not very well known. . A Dutchie' is a rastaterm for a bowl or pipe, used for smoking marijuana.used in Jamaica and the Caribbean. So if you read the text in the song of Musical Youth - "Pass the dutchie on the left hand side ..." you can understand the meaning of it. Illegal products are sold secretly. The right hand is a symbol for all the goodness in life as the left hand stands for all the things that may not see the daylight
The chinese people don't bother about these law. They will take over the global economy over the years to come and no US can stop them. Only a madman as D. Trump will state he can. Will he risk a new WWIII??
I love the American leaders for their visions (=sarcasm). The biggest industry in the world is the weapon industry! More then $ 920 billion or €806 billion in 2018 no other part of the economy does better!! That is why the US has imperialism in its policy. That is ONE of the reasons -as there are still others - why there is still war going on in the Middle East and the whole world. Every intervention brings a mass of dollars in the US and... Western countries their economies. It all are hypocrites, on one hand they claim to bring peace to the war countries on the other hand they are selling them all kinds of weapons. If those cannot pay them in money, then they may do it in raw materials as oil, ores ,people... whatever, so the sellers become richer and they themselves poorer. For this reason the outdated second amendment will not be adapted even though the hundreds of innocent citizen victimes every year. Their interpretation of freedom in the US is as it pleases them !! Its instinctively. When will the American people mix realize it and wanna to change???
Of course Donald J. Trump loves America. His family became rich and powerful of The US by scamming the nation for billions, by frauding in the real estate sector. Benefits they received for the construction of social dwellings disappeared and were put on a private account. All legally btw!! So who is to blame? But it shows that this person has no ethical awareness. He is a narcist. Do you have a real love for a country and its people if you are cheating and scamming them for such amounts of money?? I doubt it!
Donald J. Trump is the best that could happen for The USA!! He is going to make America big again! Let that be an understatement!! Is it really?? It is known that actors had always a big influence in the elections for president : Nixon, Reagan, Trump,... How is this possible?? They know how to manipulate the people. They can go straigth to their heart and feelings?? I do not know. One thing is for sure.....they are succesfull with the people. But what did they create? Nixon and his Watergate tells enough. Reagan brought the US to a low point and what will do Trump?? The same!! He will bring the US back 50 years in time!! The real Marty McFly from back to the future.
Desmond Morris, biologist once wrote in the book the Naked Ape that mankind created a godness. Because its awareness that its life is a struggle and limited mankind began to create a being that stood above al this misery a eternal leader. This gave mankind some mental comfort and strength and still does!! Now they even use their religion to to justify their wars, jihads and other cruelties. Psychologists know that rituals and symbols make people to come together and stronger. A godness isn't always the only reason to start a war for suppremacy. For instance look what is up in China today with their president for life XI Jinping. He states that in 2050 China will rule the world. Up to know everything goes by plan! He is a symbol for the people.
Yesterday I saw a scaring French documentary about XI Jinping, the ultimate leader of China; He is a hybrid between Poetin and Trump. He comes from a wealthy midclass family that lost its creditability during Mao and his communistic revolution. He saw how his father was tortured and humiliated publicly several times. This traumatised him as kid as he was that time. He became a mental survivor swore revenge!! So he began a career in the communistic party of China. Today he is the almighty Chinese leader for life who doesn't tolerate any criticism. Everyone who does will be eliminated (=disappearing). He and Chinese communists have a longterm strategy to conquer the world with their ideology. First by making the countries economically dependent and if they can't pay their debts then also a political control. His device is " power can only exist by fear" . The fear for violence . Today China takes over the power in South East Asia. Nor Japan, nor The USA or the surrounding countries dare to react strong by force!! In Europe they own already the harbour from Pireaus (Greece) and the Airport of Toulouse (Fr)!! In Djibouti they installed their first military base!! They take advantage of the European dissension - look what political problems the financial crisis caused! - to split up Europe again!! And it works!!! Greece and Hungary are the best examples. Also Portugal (socialist government) had to be stopped by EU for its credits from China. The greedy Europe with his unpopular savings drove this countries in the hands of China and Russia!! Now the populists and their facist idea's are again rising stars, this migth be a threat for the future. In Africa China is conquering the continent by his credits and by building a infrastructure, the labour is done by foreign craftmen not natives. These are unreliable and lazy. The reality is they don’t wanna give or leave any penny for the people of Africa. So the debts of the counties are rising and the power of China increases! If everthing goes by plan then China will be the most powerfull country in 2050!! It might be possible but things could change fast. The problem is that nor Europe nor the US have a longterm political strategy Russia and the China do. So .........wait and see.

Not only women are fallen in love with their smartphones; just step into a train, bus or metro and what do you see? People everwhere with head bowed, their face focussed on a screen of their little device. This is what I call the AA generation. The App Addicts who can't live without their mobile device anymore as we got addicted to our cars.Bit by bit we evolve to a digital society where Big Brother ( =the capital) states the rules..Look how politicians use the medium during the elections to get in direct contact with their voters so they can avoid the critical looks. of the settled press. No filters allowied, calling them fake news. It even made a trumpeteer president of the USA!!
I speak multiple languages and can assure you that French, related to the Latin linguistics differs very much from English which is associated with the Germanic linguistic group. To master it perfectly it takes at least a few years. But you can always go for a crash course French. On the other hand a good recipe for learning it is to get in contact with the locals. This is the fastest way learning how to speak French. Do not be shy the people don't bite and the same time you learn about the local habits. By reading their journals you can learn about the written language. And last but not least...you may always sent me letters to learn more about French. Further information you can find on my CSi profile.
Instead of answering this online novel with a lot of nonsense I just wanna state that the biggest threat of mankind is not alien life but men itself. We are a rogue species believing we can control nature and conquer te universe. What a conceited arrogancy.The fact that we are rogue you can notice everyday the way. We destroy this planet - till now the only place in the universe known where we can thrive- by overexploitating it and giving back all kinds of garbage and toxic waste. The way our biodiversity is deteriorating .and climate change are a alarming sign. Worst of all is the way how we treat our own fellow men. There have never been more wars and crimes in the world as today. The weapon industry is the biggest industry in the world, 371 billion dollar a year!!!! Biggest producers.....USA and Western Europe! So called (hypocrite) peacekeeping countries!! A few millenia of "civilisation" haven't changed our behavior that is still controlled by our basic instincts. only without a natural regulator now. We should better focus on that than on possible aliens. The chance on their occurence is almost nihil. But the chance we destroy ourselves becomes bigger everyday!!
No, the bible never says it. It were the leaders of the Christian organisations (Churches) that gave him a divine image so they could better control the mass. By the way the new testament was written centuries after Jesus death. So there was plenty of time to adapt his person and his life! So the rebellion of Jesus turns out to be a great tool to manipulate the crowd!! Even today!
It is quiet obvious that the days of the imperailism of the USA is coming to its end. The new star on the horizon is China. After the UK got a world dominance in the 19 century, After WWI it changed and the US began to take it over, especially after WWII; The US saw Europe as a market for their economy. But times are changing and today after all those crises Europe starts to realise it has to stand on its own and changes its economics to Asia and South America. Only the UK is missing the boat cause of their conservatism, nationalism and traditions.It is a pity. The UK is isolating itself from the world, this could mean a disaster for the country,not necessarly, let us wait and see
Belgium as any other Western country is taken hostage by it values and its rules that are based on, the liberal idea's of the Enlightening period. They all have become so soft they did not see the problems of immigration till it was too late! Thanks to our employers and politicians more than once a controlled immigration of cheap labour forces was organised. No problems till last year Germany and Sweden did send special trained people to Turkey and other Middle East countries to recruit young labourforces. The rest is history. And what has this all to do with the Brexit issue?? The UK wanted a Brexit because of LEGAL (most European) labourers that took over the jobs of the UK people.As Boris Johnson admits today this was not the real reason for the Brexit at all. But "The UK doesn't want to give up its independancy to the EU" he stated. About yourself, are you a native French or an immigrated Englishman in France? It would explain a lot.
As it seems the situation today I do not believe other countries will leave the EU. They are more decided than ever. Nevertheless there are still some problems to solve , look at the evolution in Poland. But that is another issue. The last selections in the UK proved the majority of the people felt to be cheated. Prime minister May and the conservative party lost their power completely. The whole parliament and government is a mess. Where are the big pro-leave instigators as Mr. Farrage and Boris Johson now?? The first disappeared and the other was forced by Theresia May to become minister of foreign affairs. The value of the pound is low. Could be interesting for investments but the investors wait for the Brexit negogiations. And where to export their products if they have to pay import taxes? The profits will disappear. Big financial groups are leaving London for Frankfurt and Paris. Other members of the UK (Scotland, North Ireland) are considering the possiblity of a referendum about their membership of the UK. Where will it leads to?? About the impact on tourism. Tourism heals itself by time. The sector is more afraid of the impact of terrorism than of the absence of the English tourists. I heard on the news that people in countries as Spain, Greece e.o. complain about the anually overcrowding of destructive young English people . At this moment it seems The UK is the biggest loser. I wonder what the future might bring.
Or he is a blessing for USA or not I don't mind. Now the American system just shows how it always has been ! I made an overview of the presidential elections!! My goodness what an unbelieveable TV show was this! And I blame not only D. Trump for his behavior as he has always been himself. But the way the American people tolerated his election campaign was much worser than the president himself. It is an alerting sign there is something really going wrong with the USA as such man can become President. First of all it is the system that sucks, A system founded in 1738 and never adapted ever since! This is the same as the koran of the Muslims of whom we hate so much their Jihadis! Secondary all the improvements the US is experiencing now are the result of former governments e;g. the improvement of jobs! Trump is announcing so proudly, they are alredy improving continiously since 2009!! . What has he already achieved of his own promises?? Obamacare :his proposals three times rejected!! The wall for Mexico, not a brick has been build!, Lowering the taxes, only for the bussinescompanies not for the people, how is he going to decrease the national debt which is billions of dollars? He is a great entertainer that can make the people to sell his glamorous airbubbles, nothing more. What Is worst of it is that this phenomena is not limited to the USA alone. Everywhere in the world we see such populists taking over the power and acting as dictators. (f.i. his statement during the elections " I know the American system best and ONLY ME can change it !!" OMG what an arrogance) That worries me most .!!
Trump is no stupid as he looks! I believe his contacts with Russia after the election are pure professional. He wants the trust of the Russian billionaires for a better cooperation in he past, after its presidency. He wil make us to believe it is for the worldpeace, so we can adore him more. Nice tric! He wants to secure himself in case he will do something very stupid so he wanted to know if he could be pardonned. Clever move. He has great assistance of his sun in law and Stephen Bannon, a pure anarchist! Wolves is sheep coat! Nevertheless I will judge him at the end of its presidency.
To Misses Jones (I doubt its your real name) to me you are a convinced republican though you try to mask it in your letter by trying to look on it with a open mind . I prefer those who are the way they are: republican, democrat , dictator or whatever, those who express straight where they stand for! I believe this forum is to amuse you and to get data of what people think. Knowing this I might even have adapted my letter, who knows?? : That is what Malfidus stands for laugh:
I am not an anti Trump propagandist! I just wanna say we are a a turning point in politics those days. In the 19th century it was the UK that ruled the world by its colonisation policy. In the 20th century is became the US with their military and economical power and their imperialism. After the communism they thought their idea's might conquer the world. But times are changed other nations begin now to claim their part of the power. China, Russia, India, EU etc.... they are not so happy that the financial world is ruled by the dollar specially not after the last monetary crisis. The times of the capitalistic system are ending slowly but certainly. Democracy and capitalism are one. There is no better political system that supports capitalism. And I am convinced that the democracy in the US is limited. Limited by the power of money, as it is also in other nations!!,The democratic system in the US founded in 1738 has not changed a letter since then!! Is this innovation? The USA a country of ultimate freedom? I depends on what definition you give on freedom!! But freedom for the one means restrictions for the other, otherwise the one cannot be entirely free. Ask the native indians about it, As the economies in the world are changing for different reasons ( climate change, depletion of raw materials by overexpoiting, waste problems,growing populations,etc,,,...) we must realise things are changing. What is happening in the USA nowadays is that this selfconfident nations is in the ban of fear and anarchy. It has its impact on the people and their leaders! That is what made D.Trump so popular! As a populist he knew how to manipulate the people and ....he won! Is he a democrat NO WAY, Is he a republican NO WAY either, as he took them hostage when stated that if they would not appoint him as candidate for the elections he would start his own party!! And he was right!! It sounded horrifying for the republicans that a single man could bring their power down. So they did it. Hoping to get some things of their election program realised! Trump represents the rebellion of the people. Being smart as he is he will only serve the clan he represents: the mighty businessmen and no one else. Pity for the rest of the people. That is his freedom not?
That I may do everything I want as long as it does not restricts the freedom of my fellow people! Simple as that. Or not? As what does it mean not restricting other people's freedom???
An extraordinairy idea you got. As 'lifeisadream' says some of the things you have can increase in value but also decrease. What if you worked your whole life to get some money for your pension and one day the money market crashes and the value of your properties decreases along with it? And life becomes too expensive?. Is this what you want?.If you can't compare the economic value of a country with a stable reference you get the situation we are in now . In reality the US were bankrupt but as they have the dollar as current and all big transactions are payed in dollar today (= btw.a heritage from WO II ) it was easy for them to print more dollars . And as the worldeconomy depends on that dollar they were the first to recover from the crisis. But what about Belgium?
As far as I can make up from the voting reports it seems that it were the middle aged class and retired people that vited for a Brexit. The younger , active class did vote against; Did this Brexit not complicate or endanger the the futurel of those?? . But as it is in a democracy the majority wins. [Maybe except what is happening in the US today.] Talking about The UK , what was the main reason the people voted against Europe? Because they saw to much legal immigrants coming to England for a job.?? It should be good for the companies and the economy I should say. But there must be another reason why the British people wanted the current of immigrants stopped. Did the refugee crisis had something to do with it?? Was it their social welfare that couldn't stand it?? I am not familiar with the situation in GB. But the people voted NO that is for sure Nevertheless It are not the politics that rule a country but the economics!! So I am wondering what is going to happen in the UK as the economy does not recover as planned? What if a nutty president of the US favorites good (economic) relations with Russia above the UK? How long will the UK remain as it is today as Scotland and Ireland prefer to become a member of The EU for obvious reasons? It are changing and scary moments for GB today. I wish them all the best.

I heard that the strong man behind Trump will not be Melania (as they say behind every strong man stands a strong woman ) but his minister of Trade, Wilbur Ross, a billionair, who saved Donald trump from his previous bankrupts. Let us wait and see!
First I wana say is that Donald Trump won the elections because of the most undemocratic system I know. It was founded in 1738 by the US elite in order to prevent the power of common people to become to strong.It has never been adapted since. Donald Trump even critised it in 2012 during the elections now het doesn't say a word of changing it. But besides that he is elected and will become the president of the USA!! We will evaluate him and deal with him in 2020 and see how he has executed his big changes he shouted several times during his election time. As it seems to be at the moment I have my doubts. But let us give him the benefit of the doubt. Why my comment? I have seen the same scenario happening in other countires and I know it did not work out as promised on the contrary. Votes of malcontent voters are never interesting to deal with in politics unless you want the power but after that....???? I hope he will prove the opposite, let us judge in 2020.
Belgium is not the only problem that is taken hostage by radical moslims. IS is a current in Islam, a radical jihadi salafism supported by some very rich Saudi Arabians. Look where the assaults have been!! What about the refugee problem in Calais that is booming again because the French government doesn't interact properly?? Take look at these schedules of voting on :

As I can notice the Brexit doesn't takes the interest of the people. I believe they are more occupied with the increasing violence in te world or....with their own comfortzone. Their device = if I can live the way I like I don't care about the other. Who can blame them? If economy begins to fail than the politicians and the people will wake up. One thing is sure, a next financial crisis is on its way!! No doubt.
RE: Pass the Dutchie
The answer is simple but likely not very well known. .A Dutchie' is a rastaterm for a bowl or pipe, used for smoking marijuana.used in Jamaica and the Caribbean. So if you read the text in the song of Musical Youth - "Pass the dutchie on the left hand side ..." you can understand the meaning of it. Illegal products are sold secretly.
