Stolen or Conquered Land

Billie Eilish Said no one is illegal on stolen land: If someone wants to repeat the slogan “no one is illegal on stolen land,” then they need to accept what the word stolen actually means. In every moral and legal system humans have ever used, stolen property must be returned to its rightful owner, ...

Re: USA & Israel launch illegal war on Iran

Certainly there are some who welcome the US presence And, like many before them in foreign lands, those who cherish freedom will come to regret it. Freedom comes from within, it is never handed to you. And the US has proven that again and again--"colored lights can hypnotize, sparkle someone else's...

Re: USA & Israel launch illegal war on Iran

OK, let’s cut through the clutter, wipe the blackboard clean, and start over with just one question: Do you or anyone on this board, the temporary US President notwithstanding, want the current Iranian government to survive? Would that be a good thing, or would power to the Iranian people be a bette...

Re: WWIII? Or just a little fuckery?

I heard on NPR today that Ukraine passed on an Iranian drone which they had downed and which the USA has reverse engineered in Arizona, I think. So now we have American made drones based on the Iranian design. For some reason these are called Lucas. For British car mechanics of a certain age, (Jose...

Re: USA & Israel launch illegal war on Iran

I absolutely deny that I lie, and I don’t intentionally make things up. Sometimes I express my feelings and my opinions, which are just as valid as anyone else’s. As I said, I don’t lie. Based on your comments, it sounds as though you think, or are afraid, that the Iranian regime may be defeated, an...

Re: What Kind of Fuel Am I?

On Monday after Trump started the war (so, March 1) I filled up my car at $2.679/gal. Today's price at the same station is $3.279/gal. That's more than an 18% increase in 10 days. I won't fill up again until sometime next month, but given the trajectory of this colossally stupid military adventure ...

Re: USA & Israel launch illegal war on Iran

Iran has been at war with the United States since 1979, and we’ve simply ignored it. Over the decades, Iran and its proxies have carried out a long list of hostile acts against Americans: the seizure of our embassy and the 444‑day hostage crisis; the 1983 Marine Barracks bombing in Beirut, carried o...

Re: USA & Israel launch illegal war on Iran

How many Iranians were killed when the US Vincennes shot down a commercial passenger jet? Was it more or less than the number of elementary school aged children and their parents we just killed with the erroneous double tap on the blue and pink painted schoolhouse? How many US Americans has Iran an...

Re: USA & Israel launch illegal war on Iran

And on a more serious note, if the war ends successfully and Iran is able to export its oil again without restrictions, then the world price will really calm down, and you’ll see genuinely cheap gas. Please. Stop shilling for Trump. :roll: I don’t shill; my opinion doesn’t change just because the p...

You’re referring to the temporary Commander in Chief of the United States, as opposed to the permanent dictator of Iran.

Re: Our society is more disciplined than this

SH. what can I say? In the immortal words of that great American philosopher, Bugs Bunny: “What a maroon.” This post isn’t really about double‑parking. It’s about the local government’s tolerance of people doing whatever they want, in broad daylight, in highly congested areas. The level of inconside...

Our society is more disciplined than this

I presume we’re considered “fascist savages” in the South, but at least our society is more disciplined than this. I don’t know how things work in Massachusetts or similar places, but here, if your car is blocking a street or driveway, it gets towed, the tow company makes a profit, and the driver pa...

Can’t you be happy for my granddaughter, who was already making a bundle? Now she must really be making a super bundle of cash. She’s truly a sweet girl, and she can’t help it if she’s clever, was born beautiful, and turned out to be a good salesperson in the oil business. And on a more serious note...

Re: USA & Israel launch illegal war on Iran

The loss of six soldiers is a sad reality of military service. All service members understand that their profession carries real danger, and in any conflict, people can be killed. That is an unavoidable truth, and no one in uniform is unaware of it. The broader situation with Iran is complex, seriou...

Re: USA & Israel launch illegal war on Iran

When I was in the Air Force, the most you’d usually encounter in terms of religion was another member inviting you to their church, and that was it. Proselytizing in the military violates regulations. That’s one issue. The other is that Congress approves promotions for general officers, and you neve...
