Charity starts at home. The UK needs to learn this too. How much of that aid falls into the wrong hands? Lots, I reckon. Believe me though, not everybody hates the US. Far from it!! I know numerous Russians who long to come to live in the US. In the UK we keep hearing about how giving foreign...

How the hell does one not swallow for 30 minutes? That said a former girlfriend didn't swallow for 4 years. Not kidding :(

Well done Vassili! Great news!! Why do you think you have constant headaches?

I no longer know what to do in regard to coronavirus. Where I am people aren't strictly following social distancing rules or the wearing of masks (and even if they do, they don't follow the no touching the mask, not putting the mask over the nose etc), people are still shaking hands, the...

This is what you get when people are young, uneducated and selfish, although I'm sure there are older ones there, too. The UK has done a bad job and making things clear though. I watched some of Boris' press conferences with his scientists by his side, and they were just confusing. They seemed...

The fact that he's corrupt at all means he is questionable, but, hey, maybe to be a politician one has to be corrupt. I watched both town halls. I fell asleep watching Biden's lol. Maybe I'm getting old or he's just boring to listen to lol. Actually, it was just late and time to sleep. I just...

Nah, Biden is dirty. That's not hard to accept. Honestly, I see Biden as being as bad as Trump but in different ways.

How long would a person have to avoid swallowing?

I'm not so sure European countries are laughing at the US. If they are, they shouldn't be. The UK's response has been shoddy, so has Russia's and the the list goes on. And when it comes to it, those in Europe will want their hands on the American vaccines as soon as possible, so they really...

Who needs enemies when we have our own free media:LOL: Biden's hands are as dirty as hell... just like Trump's!

I was watching an interview of Ivanka Trump and she brought up that she used to play with Lego. She then went on to say how she puts the different Legos together. I thought this was incredibly strange, i.e. that she would add an -s to the word Lego to form a plural. I work in the language field...

He is... along with Biden/Harris. That's the scary thing. Biden looks frail and is definitely losing it (and we may well have a dead president on our hands), Harris I simply don't like and she would be played on the world stage and Trump... well we all know about Trump! God bless Uncle Sam:ROFL:

This song could be about me... except i'm straight as they come :confused:

The country already is divided, has been for a long time, but Trump just hastened the process. It's not going to be fixed under Biden or Harris. It's too late for that. Yeah, I don't think she's a communist lol I know plenty of real communists... I just find the current state of affairs...

And this is exactly why Harris will be running things if Biden gets in. Although he's not Mr Charisma, he has more than Harris, but it will be Harris who will be pulling the strings. I just instantly didn't like Harris, regardless of her policies. Maybe I could warm to her, but I don't see it...

Trump's rallies are so much more impressive than Biden's sleep ins. I watched the one from yesterday, and Trump has a knack for playing to the crowd. Biden doesn't. If Biden gets in, I think Harris is going to be taking over, which is a scary thought... just as scary as Trump!

That moment when the Russians realise it is me who is trolling them and not them me. After 4 years... Their faces. PRICELESS;):confused::po_O:ROFL: :thankyousign::welcomesignanimation:

In the US the Republicans (conservatives) are nowadays considered red and the Democrats (socialists) are considered blue. In the UK, it's the complete opposite: the Conservatives are blue and Labour (socialists) are red. I've always identified socialists with red: USSR, China and so on. "The...

I'll believe it when I see it. No way is this drug hitting the market next year. I would love to be wrong though.

No.

One major reason they don't want to insult Islam is because the US sells a lot of arms to the likes of Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Egypt. Very big business. And then there's the oil. At the same time, though, the US will almost certainly have had a hand in the Arab Spring to get more leverage in...

Yeah, people get called out as being racist or xenophobic if they criticise Isam in particular. Just not PC to do it.

I honestly don't know. I grew up in what would be considered a big house in the UK, i.e. 5 bedrooms, big kitchen, big dining room, an office/games room, a sitting room, a living room and two bathrooms. A farm house. But for the last 15 years I've lived in flats/apartments. Boy do I miss space.

The Clovis and the Pre-Clovis peoples and then the Vikings. But it all depends on how one decides to define "discovered America". Columbus is the one most people are taught about.

I've been watching a few more left leaning videos. Gov Whitmer comes across really well. She's the one who they tried to kidnap. Much more likeable than Harris for sure. I don't know much about her policies, but the Dems should be molding people like her for the future. Watched The View. Got...

Fantastic! Of course, what is moderate to you, may be large to someone else.

I am pessimistic for sure, but I would rather fear the worst and then be pleasantly surprised than vice versa.

Ever time I read this thread I go from real high to real lows. Today, I'm feeling that I might as well start learning sign language so I'm prepared for my future.

Ireland. Greece and Italy are religious, but not really considered Western Europe. There are plenty of Christians in Western Europe, but the figures seem to be dwindling year by year.

Nah, they are falling like flies, but the figures are being fiddled. I'll stick with my masks, social distancing and keeping away from people.

I was wondering about this the other day. I realise the federal response could have been better, but I don't see many states blaming themselves for their lack of response. It's all Trump's fault, which is politically convenient. He has been pretty damn dismissive of the virus in some/many ways...

There are still many conservative people in the UK, particularly in England. I can't speak for other countries in Europe though. I've have personally never met anyone who is anti-Christian here, but, yes, there are plenty of non-religious people. Plenty of champagne socialists, too. It depends...

Maybe so, but I'm specifically talking about the UK and in particular England. Believe me, Europe is not a homogeneous entity. There is a marked difference between nations. In fact, I never say I am from Europe. For me, Europe is 'that place over the water', but I know full well that the UK is a...

Yeah, I realise that not everybody is as you say. We are, nowadays, made to feel ashamed to fly the English flag and to a lesser degree the British flag. Both may offend the Scottish and to a lesser extent the Welsh and Northern Irish lol It may be though that you are more simply aware of...

Going off thread, but it's quite funny talking about mentality, as when I say I'm English here (I live in Russia for those who don't know) they ask me, "Yeah, but where exactly are you from?", i.e. meaning am I from England or am I from the US. Many people here do not differentiate between the...

Love the Highlands. Would love to live on the West coast.

Yeah, there is a lot of knife crime, but as you say the homicide rate is lower... as in... way lower in the UK... 1.2 per 100,000 for the UK and 4.96 for the US. Obviously there are other reasons than just guns at play. Where I am (Russia) the rate is 8.21 per 100,000, but there are way fewer...

It certainly would be a massive task to get rid of all guns, but got to start somewhere. It's changing the mentality that's the main thing, but it could take generations to achieve. But what's the alternative? Some countries have quite a lot of guns, like Switzerland, but don't have the...

I can imagine. Do you have a very big house to go with it? Looks idyllic.

No, it's not nonsense. The homicide rate due to guns will significantly drop. You are right though, if someone really wants a gun they can get one, but in the UK guns are few and far between. We have a very low homicide rate, but that may be due to other things as well as the scarcity of guns...

I know the reason for guns, I was being slightly facetious. But really, if people wonder why the US has so many murders and police killings it is staring at them in the face. Get rid of the guns, and the number of killings will fall dramatically. The US is still a very young country and is...

Those guns LOL. What is it about the US and guns? Nothing with being able to use guns down the gun club, but when every man, woman and child is armed to the teeth you are asking for trouble. And their cherished constitution? The divisions have always been there, but they have just come to the...

Are you pretty much totally deaf then? Did you have gradual loss or was it all at once? Would FX-322 do much of anything for you? Sorry to be a downer.

You own the lake? That's wonderful, it really is.

Man, I wish I was in the middle of nowhere with you. Where I am most people are still shaking hands, not doing any social distancing and many don't wear masks in shops even though there is a big fuck off sign that says "WEAR MASKS OR YOU WILL NOT BE SERVED".

I feel for you so much @Chinmoku. This thing is a beast, and you seem to have the beast of all beasts. I so hope you can find a way through this and get even a little relief.

The whole thing has become tit for tat. But hasn't politics always been like that? Where the hell are the people who are supposed to be looking out for all of us? Do they truly exist? Trump has to go!! I just don't like the alternative either.

Don't rile him up, he's preparing for war. He will be the first on the frontline fighting for his beliefs;):D

I've never really noticed that about her. It must be tough job doing what she does, she must be pretty thick skinned. I just find Harris distasteful somehow. I hope Biden doesn't drop dead before the end of his term if he gets in.

Yeah, I think Pence would be better, but hardly ideal.

The extreme left is just as bad. It's laughable listening to those on the left who say it isn't. I live in a country that followed Marxist Leninist thought, and I've seen what it's done to the people and the country. No thanks. I have said numerous times that the US should just get on and split...

I try my best:censored:

People call Trump out all the time for his behaviour. Don't bring sexism into this, that's absolute nonsense.

Life doesn't work like that though does it. There are people dying left, right and centre from diseases, wars and famine on a daily basis, a few more from tinnitus and hearing issues is neither here nor there. We will just have to wait our turn. Either that or protest directly to the...

He wasn't extremely rude. Not in my book at least. No sexism at all. Again, in my opinion. I just find her snarly. And looking at the fact checking from the BBC, a notoriously left leaning organisation, she got her facts wrong just as much, or even more so, as Pence.

Believe me, your own country is spying on you. When I say you, I mean it in the wider sense.

I find Kamala Harris such a dislikeable person. Hope to hell she doesn't end up becoming President. I know elections should be about policies and not personalities, but I presume we all know that that's nonsense. I just find her to be so condescending. I feel Pence came across better in that...

And do you think your own country isn't spying on you?

Kamala Harris the woman of truth and integrity, who last night in the debate said fracking wouldn't be banned (by Joe Biden; she had to get that in lol), but boy does she (they?) want to ban it:
