The UK tends to be 10 years behind the US. So yes, Starmer will be replaced by Farage - a Trump wannabe. We have yet to go through the repercussions.

Why not? Chance is chance. And, of course, those who fit the profile will be the survivors to answer the question.

So. I was reading today about electronic price tags in supermarkets. In simple terms, we're used to paper tags, and a paper tag on the shelf telling us the price of products. These paper tags are being replaced by electronic tags. These are small "screens" that give the price. The new...

Guy, even members of the UK government are now speaking against current events. Forum rules prohibit an in depth discussion - but any good will is being set ablaze right now.

Oh, but this is the crux of it for me. If you're born in the US, then you are almost 70% more likely to be Christian. If you were born in Iran, you almost 80% more likely to be Hindu. Meaning - we are the result of our upbringing, and our environment. This alone brings into question the...

I watched the S4 documentary recently. I've known about Bob Lazar for some time, but it was a decent watch. I believe Bob, which I guess puts me in the "yes, there are aliens" category.

There is a strong movement in the UK against the Royal Family, and what they represent. It's all part of the "the Elites are keeping us down" mantra. Think of that what you will. Personally, I'm in favor, in principal, of the Royal Family. I like their history, and the history of our great...

Here's the thing. We (the tax payer) will pay either way. Cutting federal tax means the government with cuts services, or borrows more money. Either way, we have to put up with less benefits from our nations, or shifting the burden to generations to come. The Canadian government, along with...

We have built a global economy. We live in times where people seem to want to reverse this, and go back to nations living independently. The trouble is, that's not really possible without much pain for us normal folk. Oil and petroleum companies exist in a capitalist environment, and as...

Honestly, I think this is an existential moment for the US. The US is a country I love, and it's a people I admire (and married into). But that's not to say it's perfect, and this is a moment when reality impedes on accept truths and beliefs. There is an embedded idea that the free world can...

Evolution is indisputable. If you're so inclined, you can prove it yourself at home. You can use fruit flies, roses, or other living things. We change over time, we take on traits of our ancestors, this simply seems indisputable to me. As to our origin, we need to know what we're dealing...

Yeah, I get that. But it's also trips to the doctor. I had to make another appointment today. I haven't been ill for decades, and now I need to see the doctor. It's humbling. Inevitable, perhaps. Still........

Me. The suits are collecting dust. The cuff links, the ties, the fancy shoes. It was my uniform for so many years. Now it is set aside. I see it as a costume.
