Ahhhh, thank goodness! We all know what happens when we let too many new people into the party. And they don’t even know how to party correctly. Then someone gets stabbed and the cops show up, the girls all leave and we all end up getting paid less, living in ghettos while They take our women! Now, if Australians had some guns in the bedroom we could skip all the silly legislation and remember the law of cold hard steel and lead. And gunpowder.
seriously though if everywhere starts letting all the immigrants in then everywhere is gonna be all diverse and awesome just like Los Angeles the home of Edward’s Air Force Base, low riders, the spruce goose, the queen mary, Robinson helicopter co and of course
surfing and sunsets.
so if everyone embraces people who look “different” then Californians will lose their cultural elitism and therefore their entire identities.
so thanks for keeping people from moving around, Australia. Too much of that, and the world will end.
segregation wins again, take THAT HUMAN RIGHTS! score one for Team Organization

I’ve heard that in Russia people push themselves out windows or blow up their own planes if putin tells them to. Japan’s justice system sounds way more my style. I wonder what they eat in jail. I had oatmeal cookies, oranges and roast beef sandwhiches last time. All you can eat, too.

The Philippine side is entirely responsible for the collision,” spokesman Gan Yu said. “We warn the Philippine side to immediately stop its infringement and provocation, otherwise it will bear all the consequences arising from that.”
this quote from the article makes it sound like the Chinese government and the former president of the USA both learned the concept of “taking responsibility for their actions” from the same acting coach
mans that same acting coach tricked them into playing around about political nonesense while we factually pump huge amounts of lethal chemical into our houses and then sleep in them every night and hey it turns out that gas cloud follows you to work cause it’s actually the earth we’ve made for each other
nice job prioritizing, folks. While these guys are busy bumping gas guzzling boats together in the tub the rest of us are watching the adults pour oil on top of the bubble bath and light as all on fire
but let’s talk about political power plays that make us feel like BIG REAL BOYS ! That’ll show them!
meanwhile some of us are over here dumping buckets of water on an oil slick trying to do something helpful
guess ill go walk the dog and in the morning I’m getting some groceries and feeding myself better this week
Maybe THAT’LL teach ‘em about taking responsibility. .

Japan Today I’m liking this headline! Ukrainians teaching Russia what empathy looks like and Russians remembering what kindness is! Be free Russia! Throw off your shackles and come party before we’re all dead! Leave hate and fear behind. Let hell on earth be a thing of the past! We can come together and build better things together!! We can come together and BE BETTER
“During Ukraine’s Incursion, Russian Conscripts Recount Surrendering in Droves”
This is a NYTimes headline. They talk about how Russians had no raping or mass killings to complain about.
thank god the Ukrainians were able to liberate some of these guys at least and prevent their utterly wasted deaths. Now they have a chance to see tomorrow instead of walking into putin’s human blender project. These Russians have a chance to do better before they die now.
good lord above
give us the serenity to accept the things we cannot change
The courage to change the things we can
and the wisdom to know the difference
set Russia free and save yourselves Ukraine. We all want Ukrainian courage to prevail and strongmen / strawmen ruling by fear have no place in our future. We all need to get it together and you are walking the talk and leading by example.
may peace prevail.
glory to Ukraine
One love

Posted in: Zelenskyy acknowledges military operation in Russia's Kursk region See in context
Looks like Ukraine is learning from the best how to treat its peaceful neighbor to a respectful indulgence of friendly special military operations. Maybe, like putin’s old “mysteriously died in a freak plane crash explosion Wagner chef friend,” they will March to take remove their enemy from power.
And when they’re done, they’ll go home and rebuild what Russians destroyed. Maybe Russians will choose to do the same.
Then maybe we can choose to live by the same basic golden rule we’ve all known since we were born. Decisions, decisions. How to treat ourselves, each other, and our home?
let’s punch each other into oblivion while the roof falls down around us. Except our home is a tiny planet in outer space and if we don’t decide to grow up, we may die in our own excrement.
at least the Ukrainians can say they did what they could. What are the rest of us even fighting for?
glory to ukraine

Yup, that’s what it is. Maduro is a real-life unintentional satirical Bond villain.
“Venezuela's electoral authority proclaimed Maduro the winner of the July 28 presidential election with some 51% of the vote, although it has yet to produce the voting tallies.
The declaration sparked widespread accusations of fraud and protests which were promoted across social media. Local advocacy group the Venezuelan Observatory for Social Conflict reports at least 23 people have been killed in protests.”
totally legitimate.

“JJEToday 07:57 am JST
Article insinuates they "rammed" through the border.
Nothing of the sort ever transpired. The border crossings are basically not even 'strong points'. Due to the huge distances, there are huge areas that anyone can cross.
They simply drove through north and south of the border crossing, through wooded and fielded areas and looped around it while pressing it from the front too - hardly rocket science. Russians have done this many times before.”
hey, no hard feelings! Here in the land of the free and the home of the brave we also have people that get hyped about immigration, border solutions and armed military invasions FROM OUR PREVIOUSLY PEACEFUL NEIGHBORING COUNTRIES.
oh no, no we don’t. We respect our neighbors as we learn to react ourselves and each other

“Reports like this are depressing. I've no idea what can be done to stop this kind of thing. If anyone has any ideas, please post them”
be kind. Respect everyone. Have hope. Talk with people. Listen and learn.
every day
I hate to proselytize because I believe the golden rule means to try and “do unto others as you would have them do unto you,” and my instinctual distrust of authority runs much too deep to sincerely accept the preachings of most strangers
and yet
the serenity prayer has done the job for me more than once:
Lord grant me the strength to change the things I can,
the serenity to accept the things I cannot
and the wisdom to know the difference
and we try to help
sometimes asking your question and me typing this out is better than turning a bling eye or a cold shoulder.
sometimes helping others can help yourself
and we all have different paths to walk.
thank you for asking

I’m not much of a praying man these days and yet I pray easily that these invaders will wake up and remember kindness and compassion and the golden rule. They’ve all felt it and heard it and know it and they all act like they’ve forgotten it.
we like Russians. I grew up surfing, snowboarding and basically living with Russians, literally sleepovers every weekend.
this guy is making the country of Russia along with the Russian people themselves look bad.
i would feel bad if I lived somewhere where we continually voted year after year after year after year for a leader who invaded a peaceful neighbor and raped and killed innocent people and may take responsibility for starting World War Three.
I wonder what Russians in Russia feel about what they’re doing to Ukrainian families

if Hamas or even Israel had a Zelenskyy vying for them, what would Gaza look like right now?
ukraine has someone representing them, and we’ve turned our backs on him. We turned our backs on Ukraine drip feeding them with weak, old versions of our leftover, rehabilitated weapons when we guaranteed them
the USA has someone representing us and looks like we’re choosing the man found liable for sexual assault instead.

Maybe now the tyrant will learn that sometimes it’s best to pick your battles.
The Israeli government must really be hurting in order to use tactics of fear of their collective neighbors wiping them out, to do the same to Gazan Palestinians. They must be betting that they can wipe out enough of HAMAS to act as a deterrent so their other regional neighbors treat them more. . neighborly than Palestinians in Gaza were.
May peace prevail.
