Hmmm... interesting. Let's go through this... If South Korea had attacked North Korea by crossing the border at multiple locations, killing thousands of NK's in ambushes and taking a couple thousand or so NK's back to SK as hostages for protection/negotiation. I would certainly expect NK to retaliate. They rightly should. Anyone, and I mean ANYONE, who thinks NK wouldn't or shouldn't retaliate needs their head examined. If NK retaliates with zeal - that should not be judged by outsiders. This is a personal conflict between countries with a deep past. In fighting fire with fire, things will very likely get out of hand one way or another. This was the gamble SK took to begin with - there was no guarantee they would be successful, or that a counter offensive wouldn't be swift and merciless. Now here we sit. NK's counter was swift, merciless, and even more powerful than anyone expected. SK still has the hostages they've kidnapped and continue to refuse to release them - even though the position they've chosen leaves them with the people of their country starving to death. Can the starvation be ended - yes, to at least some degree, by releasing the hostages. Can the conflict be ended - yes, to at least some degree, by releasing the hostages. But the conflict still continues? - yes, because SK refuses to release the hostages. If SK were to release all the hostages? - that would be a step toward the resolution and end of the conflict. I'm unconvinced that if NK had done something like this, that it would be any different than it is right now. The "atrocity" is far more about what was done on 10/7 and the currently unreleased hostages than the response to both these things. The response was swift, powerful, merciless, and unending. If I were a hostage, that is exactly what I would want. If I were a hostage's family member, it is exactly what I would demand. If I were either, I'd expect nothing less.

You seem to be solidly locked into your chosen political party over what's good for the people of this country. Everything about you as a poster sucks donkey dick... but at least you have conviction. The donkeys appreciate that.

Same place as now... nowhere to be seen. I neither whine nor act as a malcontent. I'm merely a rational person who applies logic to reality. Then again, rational logic does seem to seriously rattle you. You should try it. It'd be a better path.

You gave it away in your first sentence. Trump projects constantly. If you ever want to know what he's doing, just look at what he's accusing others of doing... and you'll immediately know what he's doing. Trumpsters think he's getting away with it, but he isn't. His 80-something mush brain fools none of his opponents or adversaries. He's a decrepit senile fat old orange man who offers nothing to our country, just his intent to grift and personally profit. His followers are blinded by some preconceived ideas they have and don't see how obvious it is. Now, YOU, on the other hand. Are obvious to everyone. You are bipolar and are projecting that onto me. You are one crazy biatch... but only about half the time. I'm pretty much done arguing with your crazy, and gambling about it being on your bi-good days or bi-bad days. You be you. Best of luck to you. Just leave me out of your future crazy.

It's like Biden chose to withdraw from the election for his own reasons and chose to endorse Kamala Harris. Harris had no competition. So, she became the Democratic candidate. It really was as simple as that. (But keep on with conspiracy theories... you tools love that garbage.)

That's it? Maxwell is a convicted sex trafficker of underage girls, sentenced to 20 years in prison for recruiting teenage girls into prostitution for Epstein. Now she meets with Trump's DOJ, and then gets moved to 'country club' minimum security? If you had any empathy for underage girls being used as sexual objects for pay, I expected to hear something more than "sure." Maxwell should burn in hell for what she's done. Any politicians that want her sentence reduced or even pardoned should burn in hell right along side her.

You'll save enough living in your trailer park to buy a shirt.

That's your response to unpatriotic injustice? That's what you're bringing? Who is "It"? And evidence of "what" we don't all already know exactly? Geez... maybe sober up and we can try to continue this later. (You truly suck at this.)

It's the worst of Trump's crooked bullying so far. Fire anyone who makes public information available that makes Trump look bad. Even before reviewing the data, and without any mention to the public of how the data could have even been incorrect. What have we learned was 'wrong' with the data? Nothing. Because there wasn't anything. So crooked and so wrong, and (big surprise) was released late Friday at the end of the weekly news cycle. This is Kim Jong Un level crooked stuff.

Most anything. No walls, no fences, she could just walk out. It's minimum security. Kind of like a halfway house. She could perhaps even wander off and meet someone waiting for her to drive away. Does that answer your question?

...or maybe you should be the FIRST person to try to learn about hate and its definition so you can use it correctly. And, further, maybe learn about how all conversations aren't the same - I already posted about that in the 'due process' thread below. You are obviously a young person. You seem to think the world is so much simpler than it really is. And that's OK. Just realize that you have a lot to learn - and then get after it. And you'll be fine.

My post wasn't about the 'illegals', it was about the brown people who are currently here legally. Maybe read back and pay attention. It's kind of a big deal when people who are here legally are snatched up and sent to 'who knows where.' There's a word for that - it's injustice. And if you are any kind of real patriot, you'd have a problem with that.

This forum isn't just one thing. Serious conversations are being discussed here. And decorum for serious conversation apply to those. Sophomoric banter is also being exchanged here. Maybe it's "childish" as you describe it, and you may be right. And humor, quite a lot of humor being posted - much of it is funny. No decorum required for comedy. Lighten up - what you're reading in this thread right now is 'banter.' In this forum, conversations sometimes run wild and still surprisingly produce interesting results. That's why I keep coming back. But, to your point. Yes. When having a serious discussion - of which there are many here - decorum is required.

Pacific Northwest. Done purposely subdued, with controlled emotion and controlled emphasis. One of the most useful American accents in terms of ease of universal understanding and clarity. Very similar to what you'll hear in published audiobooks for that very reason. Is it "General American?' No, not at all. There is no such thing, really.
