The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Back in the day, America was so "jingoistic" and "Ugly". Everyone from kids to adults knew them Russian Pinkos were bad news ----while out was White Liberals telling us otherwise, and looking down at us.

Sure there were always divisions but on big things, especially at Water's Edge - Americans, at least a majority of Americans were together. Whether you were. a Truman D or a Reagan R - you had a strong hand in dealing with the Soviet Union.


NOW......

Do you people have that same characteristic? NOPE

I warned about it and was called racist, jingo, xenophobia, nationalistic, buchanan, etc etc etc.

So keep down the road. Keep pushing your people into more tribes.

See how it works out :)

Oh, and rinse and repeat in many European countries too.

How long before "Western Democracies" are in mass war (like I said they would be) and use it to reset your financial systems, and your bullshit "Rights and Liberties"?

I say it is within 20 years. Probably 10.
