    Avoid Chile; the leftists are gaining the upper hand there, and are taking steps to ensure they will keep being top dog.

    At this point? The Paris Mob is a political force at least since 1789, almost certainly earlier.

    It wasn't a song record per se, it was part of a listening comprehension exercise, back when I was studying German. The teacher then brought the pseudo-Billie Holiday version to show us what the song was about.

    That's the nicest version of that song I've heard - the other two versions I had heard were done by a woman who was trying to emulate Billie Holliday's style too much and as a drinking song by a bunch of drunks.

    But they haven't lived it, that's my point. What I'm saying is that those guys in their late-teens/early 20s supporting BLM know of 9/11 is what they have been told about it. They wouldn't know the mood of the country beyond the accounts they got told mentioned it - and you can bet a lot of...

    9/11 was almost 20 years ago! A significant portion of the people who are taking to the streets with BLM were infants back then, the only thing of it they remember is the accounts of that time, which themselves are tainted with the lens of hindsight.

    IMO, the problem here is more with the judge; he had the power to deny the request. Even if doing what the police did is so ubiquitous as to be police SOP, it's still up to the judge to deny or accept it.

    Well, he knows how to keep whores in line, maybe that experience is applicable to criminals...

    Yup. Whenever people point to how homosexualism was accepted in Rome and Greece, they somehow fail to point out a self-respecting adult Roman or Greek citizen would never allow himself to be the passive member of the relationship - this was the role of boys and slaves.

    If there is someone deserving of getting disappeared by police, this guy is a good example.

    Throwing water? Sissies. Water is what you throw on your neighbor's apartment when the party he's holding is still going on at 2:30 AM, as a warning. You show your contempt by throwing plastic sacks full of piss. If this shit continues, you go back to water - garbage plastic sacks full of water...

    I have no problem with that, as long as they get crucified too.

    Not only too public, but I agree with Tim Pool when he said that Antifa does a fine balancing act with the violence they perpetrate(enough to make people submit, but not enough to be potentially lethal violence). When he got caught in camera punting the head of that trucker, he stepped over that...

    True, but I'd say it'll take much more shit that the current serving to change it. Mind you, I think that Option 2) is fairly possible. EDIT: OUCH. I didn't know that. I would comment on the quality of politicians available, but since I live in Rio de Janeiro, I can't - ours are as bad as...

    2023, but... Does it matter? The last time Chicago elected a Republican as their mayor was in 1927. The Beetlejuice clone is just another product of the Illinois Democrat political machine(which, remember, gave you Barack Obama as well). There only two ways she won't get reelected: 1) If she...

    The previous socialist government of Brazil insisted in having the Navy name one of its ships after João Cândido, leader of the Revolt of the Lash. The Navy simply refused to do it. They ended up naming one of the Petrobras-owned ULCCs after him.

    For some, it'll even be an incentive to break up/loot the place
