Who owns the sea and the mountains? Why should we pay them for using our natural heritage?

The top 500m is actually privately owned. Would you let hundreds of thousands of people roam your land without asking them to contribute to the basic upkeep of it?

Wait a minute, I thought maga were against war mongering.

Along with Fear and Scare, it's their favourite kind of monger.

singing, reciting or uttering any ballad or song in public is illegal.

Like @Tei said, it's a bit more than just singing.

It is however illegal to spit, feed pigeons, not flush the loo or fly a kite.

I spent some months in Singapore and I hated it. It's like a giant hospital with extra tedium.

Swift should have gone to Hanoi, far more fun.

Guns could be entirely eradicated in America, and America would still have a large number of homicidal maniacs.

But far less homicides. And none involving guns.

I'm not sure you are going to convince anyone that guns are great by proving that they aren't.

Lots of people like Trump, do not believe Ukraine Civil War

You are right. In fact you are the only one that believes it is a 'civil war'.

I doubt even Trump believes it is a civil war, if like you he knew what one was.

That has all the proper buzz words but makes no sense when all lumped together.

As much sense as Putin saying that he favours a man who wants to defend Ukraine rather than one who doesn't?

I don't 'think' Putin wants Biden in 'power'. He said it brazenly - with reason.

Yes of course. That's why he sent Smirnov to help the Republicans smear Biden. He wants Biden to lose because he prefers Biden as president.

I'm sure Putin would prefer a president who is prepared to arm Ukraine indefintely rather than one who is devoted to its surrender.

Putin wants a longer war and more dead Russians. That makes perfect sense.

It was a balmy 20C where I live on Valentine's Day, probably much higher in lower elevations, but since then it has been quite chilly and snowy.

That said I've been able to do something I've never been able to do in my time in Japan in the last 12 months; spend at least one day in every calendar month reading the paper on my deck sans shirt. My house is at almost 1000m.

Warmest winter I've ever known here.

Putin's at war not with Ukrainians, but rather people like Macron and others

You have to be especially thick to convince yourself of this.

Putin is literally at war with Ukrainians and not with Macron and others.

Those with an Apple Care Plus plan will only pay $29 to replace an iPhone screen. Covered twice in one year.

Does that apply to all models?

Like @Bass, I also do my own screen replacements when I have to. Obviously, he does it much better than a lib like me on his iphone 18, and in Swedish or many other languages too.

Battery replacements are easy despite my lack of a private iphone lab.

Yes, I forgot about Mallorca but I think I would prefer Formby Beach where I spent much of my childhood.

Agreed, the smell of pine trees still takes me back there.

Big 4 points for Everton, Luton have a lot to do now.

Posted in: Liverpool win League Cup as Van Dijk strikes late to sink Chelsea See in context

Klopp is his own man and will be going as he stated. I'm curious if he and his wife will remain living in Liverpool or go home to Germany.

His wife has been busy building a monstrous house in Mallorca, so he'll be sunning it up there instead of in Formby I suppose, the fool.

In other news, seems that Everton have just got 4 points knocked off their 10 point deduction. @Jimizo must be a bit more cheerful about life tonight.

Posted in: Liverpool win League Cup as Van Dijk strikes late to sink Chelsea See in context

but I, like many others, secretly hope that more cups in the cupboard will persuade Klopp to stay another season on Merseyside.

I think that a handsome haul of trophies will only serve to convince him that he should get out while he is ahead! And I think he has no wish to be part of the 32 team FIFA Club World Cup next year.

I'm also going to make a bold prediction and say that if Pep wins the CL again this season he'll be on his way too. No more worlds to conquer for him.

I loved the original Shogun book and series, it was one of the things that made me come to Japan. In fact all of Clavell's books set in HK and Japan are still brilliant reads.

And the new series has good reviews so I'm looking forward to it immensely.

Brilliant effort from the boys and fully deserved. Not sure if we've got the legs to beat Citeh & Arsenal in the League but good to get another trophy in the bag.

Awful clubs with awful fans. It's a shame only one team could lose.

You have a good long cry fella. Get it all out nice and early.

And still are as evidenced by President Trump's wildly successful 1st four years.

So successful that at the first opportunity voters turned out in record numbers to demolish him in favour of an old man in a basement.

most of Haley’s 260,000 are actual Biden supporters in disguise and Joe really has double the support!’

Unless every single voter chooses Trump then they must be democrats 'in disguise' and Haley must be a Democrat funded RINO traitor.

We are dealing with mental issues here that few are trained for.

She serves at the pleasure of the Democrats.

Is this the pathetic new MAGA conspiracy? That a Republican who has served the party for 20 years is actually a Democrat plant, because she dares to give Republicans an alternative to Trump?

How utterly pathetic are you all?

His health is failing and its not like he is still really running things anyway.

On other days he's a criminal mastermind who steals elections, weaponizes law to lock up his opponents and creams off money from all over the world. All without leaving any trace.

Seems like another thing that Fox has mugged you off about. They do prey on the feeble minded.

Trump.

So do you want Trump to supply more weapons to Ukraine than Biden has?

I thought MAGA wanted to abandon Ukraine?

Has he lost your vote?

Or are you just a bit thick?

Posted in: Putin praises Biden for calling him a 'crazy SOB' See in context

You’re the one ignoring logic. Evidence literally shows he didn’t invade during Trumps presidency.

And now he has invaded, and it hasn't gone too well.

Who do you think will support Ukraine more, Biden or Trump? Your lack of critical thinking is staggering. .

I know it's a lot to cope with, but MAGA is being played by Putin. You are doing what he wants you to do. He wants you to prosecute Biden and abandon Ukraine.

Wake up.

Posted in: Putin praises Biden for calling him a 'crazy SOB' See in context

Of course not,

Bravo! You can see that he is lying to you.

I’m just going off what he’s done in the past: like invading Ukraine twice under Biden

If you could only engage some logic you may be able to see that Trump is a far more logical preference for Putin. That is why he is trying smear Joe instead of Trump and why he would prefer a president who doesn't want to defend Ukraine to one that very much does.

Putin isn't America's friend or ally and at some point you have to wake up and realize that.
