  1. That would be great! Can we also have one that speaks of anti Muslim violence? Perhaps one on apartheid and occupation and the repercussions of it and how it was solved in South Africa and Ireland?
  2. We actually do know who perpetrates the majority of threats and the violence to people of the Jewish and Muslim faith in America.
  3. Dollars to donuts the threat to Jewish people in America is done by right wing, extremist asses who follow all the usual losers connected to the former admin and far right "news". Are we now allowed to post news about violence being perpetrated by Israeli forces and illegal settlers towards Palestinians on the West Bank, or is that a topic that must be shunted to the politics board?

  5. You're probably looking for cars made around 2010-12 for that price range. The Subaru Impreza is a decent sized, safe car, maybe look at Edmund's online for your area
  6. If what ABC is reporting is true, he may have been looking for a girlfriend that recently broke up with him. Of course we have no news about him re domestic violence, but it does make me think of the coming case the SC will be hearing next month https://www.americanprogress.org/article/the-supreme-court-case-united-states-v-rahimi-underscores-the-ugly-truth-about-originalism-and-women/
  7. Fine and dandy! Just letting you know a bit more anout the dude. Here's a hint- you have zero info regarding my connections to Argentina, so thanks for nothing. So people dont like the Pope? This man claims to be led by biblical principles and mentions often how God guides him- yet slurs the Pope with filth? And you seem sort of to discount the BBC and The Nation? These are linked facts to interviews done with the press and the author of the book, El Loco, mind you. Pretty tough to discount words and sentences and filth when you hear it from his mouth. But you'd need to understand Spanish. Which someone in this conversation with you does, lol.
  8. No surprises here, if true, concerning who they shooter liked, hated or retweeted. Sorry, I took down the link not knowing if its was correct for this thread.
  9. You may want to research Milei a bit more, lol. He believes in the sale of body organs, saying people have a right to do whatever they wanted with their body( including drugs or suicide) but opposes abortion. He cloned his dog, believes it is his actual son, says cloning is the true way of approaching eternity. He is a proponent of free love and has given interviews about his threesomes, a follower of tantric s*x, claims he can go 3 months without ejac€lating. Has called the Pope the representative of evil in the world, a communist turd, an effing communist, and a piece of sh!t. He praises Al Capone as his hero. When asked his position in the sale of children he said it depends, then walked it back after the uproar. You can wiki him, or google his oddities, or read the book El Loco. There's a reason one of his nicknames is The Mad-man. Public radio had a bit about him last week But yes, he does have far right positions in the world sense, if not the US. https://www.thenation.com/article/world/javier-milei-argentina-presidential-election/

    Everything? Maybe. That's kinda what makes an insane killer. But you can be perfectly normal and still be enraged about being a second class citizen, about not being able to travel freely, about having your farms stolen and being forced out of your homes, about police coming in the middle of the night and taking your husband while not being told why, about roads being segregated and having to wait 5 hours to pass through checkpoints to go to work. Israeli government is guilty of that. Hamas' slaughter has ruined the chances of Palestinians to live freely in dignity for possibly forever.

    I don't know. Killing more innocent people seems more likely to enrage others to keep the same insanity going. I read there were about 20, 000 Hamas members, but I don't know if thats true. If so, how many women and children need to die to get rid of the 20,000? How many are being created right now?

    Show me where I said people who arent pleading for a ceasefire are complicit? I said leaders of many countries in that area have for years tried to destroy chances of peace. I don't equate the Israeli admin as a religious entity. They're officials in a democracy. Their leader is the most far right one they've had in years, he's still on trial I think for fraud and corruption, with many thousands of citizens there the past year protesting him. I also don't equate the average Palestinian with Hamas, who are vile beings that care little for Gazans. I do understand how tragedies unite people, we lived through that after 9/11 and saw how a large majority of us were in favor of a war.i also remember how the anti-war people were treated, so there's that. A ceasefire can mean the killings end, for however long. Let a third country try to mediate. What's the endgame, if not a ceasefire? Hamas gains support from other terrorists nearby and Israel continues to flatten Gaza? Another country's terrorist group joins in which draws in another country? When d I you think enough is enough? If Hamas won't stop, that means its justifiable to slaughter even more women and children? Collective punishment until when? I don't know how you make it permanent. I do know that wiping out Gaza or wiping out Israeli are both wrong solutions. As I've said, I think historically both sides have taken turns at being at fault for not finding a way to coexist. Wasn't Rabin killed by an ultranationalist while trying to reach a peace accord? Hamas overpowered and killed members of Fatah when it seemed like Israel would find a reasonable way of dealing with them. Who ceases fire? Everyone. Is it a chance for Hamas to regroup? I would hope not, as much a I would hope it wouldn't mean a time out for Israel officials to plan an increase in the war. What happens after? I have not earthly idea, but I think every human there in harms way deserves a chance to not be shot, bombed, decapitated, burned or starved. Would a UN resolution help? I'd hope so, but the US vetoed one. Are they trying to write one that they US will agree not to use their veto power on? Again, I dont know but hope so. You, in general, can try all you want to catch me in some gotcha moment, but you'd be so wrong. Being anti-war, being pro-lets stop killing Gazans and Israelis, being pro-ceasefire absolutely does not say I am anti-semitic or pro muslim or anything besides what I've said above. Are you saying that there was a ceasefire and Hamas broke it? If so, what would you say if there were ceasefires in the past and Israel broke it? Because both have happened time and time again, which goes to my saying many are getting something out of not solving the strife. I dont have an answer, what's yours?

    Slant? You can go back and read all I've written. I don't have to pick a side, it's not a game. The killings need to stop. Wanting a ceasefire doesn't mean I'm pro Hamas or antisemitic. But yes, I can hate hamas and still feel disgusted by the Netanyahu administration, but I've always felt he was a crappy leader. I can feel for the innocent people no matter where they live or how they suffer.

    Certain type of murder evoke stronger emotions, as do the types of victims. This method brings to mind terrorists, medieval, etc. Somehow 1000 deaths of children just doesn't do it to that extent for some, they seem to be labeled as more of a cost of war . Maybe some of them were teens, not babies? Maybe because their bodies were buried under rubble? Maybe because bloody faces just don't move us anymore? I mean, an entire class full of children literally pulverized by bullets does nothing except make us blame each other here on the US. It's similar to the hospital bombing. Can we not understand that they're still dead. That hospitals and grocery markets and festivals and homes and places of worship have been bombed, and more will be? Why is one more heartbreaking than another? Is there a point that we can say ok, this is overkill? Do we really think that flattening Gaza will eradicate these men? Won't a ground assault bring in other countries? Why won't the US agree to a ceasefire UN resolution. We have veto power, why not work together to write a resolution to try to end the slaughters? Who benefits, and how, from the continuation? I don't know, but I think multiple countries and groups all get something that they think will further their cause in this madness. Really, the only way I can get through these types of discussions is knowing that there are Jewish organizations pleading for a ceasefire along with Palestinian groups. That there are Jewish people speaking about how the fear they have walking in their towns in the US today make them understand the fears and dangers so many Muslim Americans experienced post 9/11, even the fears black Americans can have today. It's the coming together that changes things, not the coming together with revenge. There will be plenty enough for generations in that part of the world.
  15. Your state law requires a seperate room for each child? I've never heard of that, only a bed for each, which could legally be an air mattress. I can't imagine putting that burden on a non custodial parent to find a home with bedrooms that would basically be used so infrequently. To me a bedroom is for sleeping, the children could be at other times in a communal room actually spending time with their parent. I can understand it would be preferable , but not mandatory. I suppose if you have a loser ex-husband bent on punishing you and a jerk of a judge, though. H

    So you don't believe at all that Israel officials propogandize, too? Honestly? The threat to Israeli and Gaza and the West Bank are all too real. And when the fringe psychopaths have the ear of our own leaders, yes, they can pose a threat to our country. Not it's physical existence, but most definitely it's democracy.

    I agree. It is not comparable to the violence, but its definitely comparable. The US foments violence, we always have . The outrage machine is a multi million dollar baby here. Israeli officials have become increasingly right wing and are fomenting anger, as Hamas has always done. Did many in MSM show us how thousands of Israelis were protesting daily, before the Hamas attacks, against their own PM and how they say he's dismantling their supreme court system? Why are we so ignorant about their history, its a country that is clearly important to us. Israeli officials were already accused the world over of injustice, but you didn't hear much about it here. What type of propoganda have we been fed for years about that? Why don't we remember the early Palestinian leaders and how they pressed for either peace or war. So of you're only talking about physical violence, then of course we can't compare to that part of the world. But we too committed acts of violence and torture during the Iraq Afghanistan wars. We promoted sanctions that resulted in hundreds of thousands of innocent deaths. We bombed religious sites and schools and shot journalists. There are large swaths of Americans, and I believe in both parties, that could be swayed to violence. When people love in a pressure cooker violence is a result, and I think our country is quickly becoming one in several ways, too.

    UN updates at this site https://www.ochaopt.org/content/hostilities-gaza-strip-and-israel-flash-update-15 If you click on the upper 3 bars you can see the Updates, the one I linked is from 2 days ago. There is also a program called DemocracyNow. It most definitely swings left and covers wars and the growing immgrant problems from all over the world, but provides in depth interviews with people you will rarely, if ever, hear on any MSM. I have gone back to the beginning of Oct 7 or 8 and listened to every show. They've featured Palestinian professors and those with direct experience with life in Gaza, Jewish journalists and authors, and both Israel and Palestinian spokespeople for peace. Bright, thoughtful discussions without the usual propoganda. I found it useful to hear what is happening outside of Gaza, in the West Bank. I know they've been losing their homes to Israeli settlements and the clashes due to that, for years, but didn't know about the big increase in violence and death there now.
  19. I agree. I know how much Heart wants to be in her own place for the holidays, but it would also be good, if possible, to stay in the rental room and try to save a bit, especially since she'll be buying the kids presents. Plus, some apartments want first, last month and a security deposit and that gets to be such a huge amount!
  20. In a city of that size, I would expect there to be companies that owned multiple properties, at least that's the way it is around here. I would try to speak to a property manager in person, tell them my needs, credit score proof, and recs from previous landlords, then ask which of their apartments would they suggest. They may have a stated rule about income but can tweak it if they want. They most likely won't waver on a pet policy unless you were renting an individual house. And honestly, if there was an apartment that fit my needs but had stairs I would not think twice about telling my daughter that she can survive walking up them on her days with you, guess there was a true physical reason she couldn't navigate them.
  21. One of her character strengths is that she obviously doesn't give a rat's patootie about what people think about her talents or her liiks. Glad you don't normally care at all what people look like!

    https://politics.stackexchange.com/questions/81918/does-hamas-have-popular-support-at-home It would be interesting to know when or if they ever had 'vast majority' support. There has not been an election since 2006. Would there be a difference between support for their actions this week vs support of Hamas running Gaza. People just want to live free with dignity, no matter where on earth they are.
  23. My whine? So many TV programs and movies use shots of a character's phone texts as part of the story. I think a huge TV on the wall or over a fireplace is ugly and I refuse to get up quickly to read a text on the screen. If it happens repeatedly I find it easier to just turn it off and find another show because my cranky old self is not peppy enough to scooch my chair closer nor do I need new glasses.
