  1. ​ @stevejones9290  Most people tend to be more comfortable around people like themselves. Even if they are not racist. Our loyalties are still Family, Clan, Tribe and then maybe something else. Only today Clan and Tribe have been replaced by Protected Classes and one Religion.

  2. ​ @EllieMaes-Grandad  Once Islam gains a firm enough foothold that it can dominate elections even though it is not a majority. Then you can expect to see an increase in conversions from people who want to be on the winning side. IMO this is how Islam spread so rapidly in the 1st Millennium. Islam has built in policies that can be used to actively discriminate against non Muslims.

  6. Do you mean illegally? Legal immigrants can make for very good citizens. Note l said CAN. The problem l see from the US is you are gaining an excess of young men illegally immigrating into Britain not because they see a better future but because they see suckers who will take care of them. IMO certain questions need to be asked. 1) Just who is paying for all the nice Zodiacs they drive up onto the beaches of southern England. Along with their uniformly all the same life jackets and the 100 hp outboard motors from Yamaha, Honda or Mercury. 2) What happens to the Zodiacs? Do they get off the beach and go back for another load? Do they get seized? 3) How are these "asylum seekers" getting to France in the first place? None of them look under nourished. They all seem to have the latest cell phones. 4) From the reports l see the UK has. Housing crisis. UK residents are waiting lists for government owned housing. Who gets preference. And when are the residents of the UK saying enough.

  22. Yes the RAF was attacking military targets pre Blitz. Plus pre Blitz the Luftwaffe was attacking Chain Home radar stations and airfields on the South Coast. What is known as the Blitz started when Geman bombers attacking the docks in the East End missed their target and hit a residential area. Churchill ordered the RAF to attack Berlin. Then the Germans switched to hitting civilian centers. One thing the Poles were not is stupid. They knew they were next on the list. Of course they were stationing troops along the frontier with Germany. I remember a quote from a Polish leader being caught between Germany and the Soviets. On one hand we will lose our freedom. On the other we will lose our souls. Another thing that often gets forgotten about is the Kyten (sp) Massacre when the Soviets executed thousands of Polish officers.

  24. Try converting an empty mosque into a church in Saudi Arabia. I want clean electricity in enough abundance that oil production falls to that only needed for applications where it is not used as fuel. That electricity can be generated by renewables (1), geothermal, nuclear and someday fusion. I really don't care which. Because then the Islamic countries that just happen to be sitting on a sea of oil will have little other income. Let them eat sand. Maybe it's time Western countries nationalize the holdings of certain other countries. It was fine when it happened to the West. 1) Renewables include direct Solar (PV Panels or Heat) or secondary Solar such as wind, wave, ocean thermal and hydroelectric. Another renewable is tidal.

But racial substitution for historical persons just to score points or claiming that X was black, gay, trans or whatever because it makes the backers feel good is horseshit. You may as well cast a Scotsman as Shaka Zulu (1). 1) Tell me the Zulu were not an expansionist imperial state.

  40. ​ @neddyseagoon9601  It's not like Britians or other Europeans invented the written word. Using symbols to convey ideas, concepts, or specific things likely originates in the following areas. The Fertile Crescent, the Yangtze or Yellow River valleys and Mesoamerica. I think there is some question whether Egypt developed the idea completely independently. But use of the written word is an entirely different matter. I remember seeing a statistic concerning the publishing industry from around 2003. Just Spain alone saw more published in that year than the area from Morocco to Pakistan. Granted a large percentage of the books published in Spain might have been trashy fiction. If the supposedly literate swath from Morocco to Pakistan saw that little what does it say about Sub Saharan Africa.

  51. ​ @stumac869  Even in the US the Wrights had a hard time getting traction. The US government was funding Langley. A scale model of which had flown successfully. Shortly before the Wrights first flights (1) Langley tried and failed. Were their other machines that got into the air? Yes. But as stated by others it was controlled flight. In a later aviation meet in France where the Europeans were happy to get "flights" little more than hops. By that time the Wrights were flying literally for miles. 1) After going back to Ohio the Wrights had alot of trouble getting into the air. Turns out the flights at Kitty Hawk took place during a period of high pressure. Plus the Wrights had photographs.

  57. This isn't so much somebody playing the race card as it is dome bu ody playing the celebrity card. Oh, the race card was played as well. But the celebrity card out trumps (1) the race card everytime. But if you can play bu oth at the same time. That's a twofer. 1) Will Hoyle's (2) book degining the rules of card games. Especially the ones that are played for tricks (Bridge, Skat, Pinenocale (sp), Eucher, Sheepshead, Canasta, Gin etc) and involve the use of either called or fixed suits of trump cards. Simply because calling them trump cards is "triggering" or a macro-micro-aggression (l claim credit for the term, send copyright payments to my Nigerian PayPal acct). What should we call them instead? BLM suits? They seem to out trump everything else these days. And does anyone play Canasta or Gin anymore? And its easy to tell the point of origin of trump type games. Typically the games ingolving the high cards being Queens are from Central Europe 2) lnterestingly the only card game with no known antecedent which sprung into being with the same rules today is cribbage.

  61. Every year we hear news stories out of Saudi Arabia about worshippersgetting trampled in stampedes at one of the pilgrimage sites. Something l have never heard about amongst Christians in Jerusalem during Holy Week. As Christians we may have a desire to visit the Holy Land. But we are not compelled to as requirement. IMO the requirement to make a pilgrimage to Mecca was more about ensuring Mecca's primacy than anything else.

  73. There is a Jordan Peterson video where he is talking about the people who keep modern society running. Its not the urban professionals. Its the people, mostly men, mostly white at least in the West (1),that keep the lights on. The sewers and waste treatment facilities working. The water systems that deliver water to the faucet. Maintain the natural gas distribution systems. Without these systems and infrastructure society would quickly fall apart. 1) Its not race that sees these men in these jobs. Its a work ethic. Personally l don't care who is doing these jobs in terms of ethnic backround. What l care about is the jobs get done. What l care about is competence. If that makes me an ablist so be it.

  77. In any democracy the attitudes of local elected offcials on matters outside the borders of their own constituency. Especially outside their own national borders. Have little or no effect on the polices and practices that actually matter inside their own district, town, city village etc. It has about as much effect as declaring your city a "nuclear free zone" as declaring solidarity with Gaza has on whether or not the potholes get repaired. Or public spaces such as parks are maintained. Or local water systems, sewers and other public services are managed properly. Local elected officials are elected to look after local matters. If your local elected officials do not look after these matters but instead use the position to posture in the local community they should be voted out in the next election. This applies to communities in any nation that has real elections. The practice of some local officials in any democracy to enrich themselves at the expense of the citizenry is another matter. (1) Otherwise you may as well hire professional city managers or revert to officials who find their office through appointment or heriditary means (2). 1) This is another factor of massive immigration into First World (mainly what is refered to as "The West") nations by immigrants from nations where graft and corruption are just the way things are done. Not that these things are not done in the First World. But in the First World everybody knows it is illegal. 2) l am not a fan of hereditary forms of government except for one possible aspect. In such a system it is possible to raise the next generation of rulers, local or national, with a sense of duty to their posisition and responsibilities. Note l said possible. Not that they always would have a sense of duty.

  81. In the US every so often we hear proposals to privitize the mail. Only in the US Constitution there is a requirement for the government to provide postal service to every resident (1)(2). It does not mean service to your mailbox necessarily but it does mean service. If your postal service does get sold off look to see unprofitable service areas to get reduced service or eliminated altogether. And higher rates. 1) Prior to the reforms of government service under President Chester A Arthur government jobs especially Post Master jobs were prime patronage jobs. Lincoln when he first became president and was besieged by office seekers is said to have commented about not enough teats for the pigs. 2) About the only things the US Constitution required the Federal Government to do was deliver the mail and provide for the common defense.

  82. I have been wondering just how long it is going to take for some enterprising refugee. I mean immigrant from Afghanistan, Somalia or another garden spot to look at all that grass in Hyde or Central Park and decide it needs a herd of goats. Then maybe the powers that be will wake up. Locally we banned keeping chickens in the back yard due to the stink and the noise decades ago. Now we have "progressives" that want to bring it back. And most of these progressives probably live in flats or apartments.

  84. It was the elites and their servants in Western countries that pushed increased immigration from foreign nations by peoples that share little no measure of any cultural commonality. If the experience of the United States concerning immigration in the last half of the 19th and early 20th Centuries is anything to go by. These immigrants will largely settle into urban ghettos. Where they will to some degree attempt to recreate the society they came from. St least the United States had three things largely working in its favor during this time period. The first was the immigrants were largely European in origin. Second there was by and large some common religous backround even with the Protestant/Catholic divide. The third thing is there was enough open land for the establishment of new farming communities. Largely by Central and Northern Europeans. Today Europe is facing an immigration wave of people wio share none of Western Europes values. Social, religious or even tolerance. These people by and large seem to dispise not only the West but their own hosts. What these immigrants seemingly refuse to understand is that tolerance (1) is a two way street. If your host is expected to be tolerant towards you. Then you should be tolerant towards the society that you have CHOSEN to immigrate to and live amongst. 1) It seems the elites and certain politicians in West have forgotten about the idea of tolerance towards their own people if they hold opposing points of view.

  86. If a political party forms in the UK or any other Western country that identifies as Muslim IMO odds are that lagally the elected officials of that country will be hands off. But if a political party formed that promoted the interests of a particular Protestant denomination (1), Roman Catholics or any other Christian sect they would come down on them like a ton of bricks. 1) The Southern Baptists in the US come to mind.

  89. Why is it the Left always fail to understand just what democracy means. Sometimes they seem to think democracy in a representative government means the people have a direct voice in government. A modestly sized city much less a nation state are far too large for such a system to work. The Representative of a district, region or whatever it is called is empowered to act in the interests of the people in that district. All the people. Not just the ones that voted for him or her. And sometimes that representative has to vote on issues in a way that is best for the whole city/region/state/nation even if that nay go against the percieved interests of the people they represent. The modern Left (1) percieve democracy as being a one party state controling legeslative, executive and judicial powers with only minor opposition represtation allowed to maintain the illusion of "democracy". Just look at the post WWll nations that embraced communism. And the titles of those nations. The German Democratic Republic. The only non lie in that name was German. It was neither a Republic or Democratic. And that is just one example. Another issue here is the term Far Right. The Left bandies the term and the label with so little regard for reality it has lost all meaning. Basically anyone to the right if their position on anything is labeled Far Right. This does not mean that Far Right elements do not exist in many societies. But not to the extent that Far Left elements seem to do. Both in my opinion should be shunned as extremists. 1) Personally I have a great deal of distain for the idea that a simple Left or Right label can be used to discribe anyone. Just as Liberal or Conservative can be used to discribe anyone. It is entirely possible for an individual to hold views on different subjects that can be both Left or Right. But far too often the extremists demand ideological purity.

  92. There are cases when adapting a literary work set in one social environment to another with ethnically appropriate actors to that environment work. A lot of Shakespeare can be done this way. The Scottish Play (1) could be adapted to just about any society. The Film Ran by Kurosawa is a good example. West Side Story is Romeo and Juliet to New York City's housing projects. Forbidden Planet is just The Tempest. But if you do the adapting to really be believable IMO it needs to be set in that ethnic environment. Personally I'd like to see the BBC adapt a non European work into a project set in a ethnically appropriate Britian for its time period. Just to see if they have the guts to do so. But no, the BBC (2) will continue to blackwash other works while likely trying to insist they portray an accurate image of the period. The individuals that insist on continueing to do this should remember one thing. Just because you have the freedom to do this. Everyone else has the freedom not to watch or buy into it. 1) Macbeth for those who do not get the reference 2) Along with other production companies. Netflix comes to mind.

  93. ​ @EH-jq1st  Your king Chucky may not have much real power but one thing he does have access to is what Teddy Roosevelt called the Bully Pulpit. One thing he should be using the Bully Pulpit for is the current unrest in the UK. That unrest is being driven by the UK's government policy on immigration (1). The UK simply cannot continue to absorb waves of immigrants. Especially waves of immigrants, legal or illegal, that are men in their early 20's. There aren't enough employment opportunities available. Your manufacturing sector was destroyed by a number of factors. Competition from aboard. Mainly from low cost nations. Poor management, government meddling and overly aggressive unions. They all share part of the blame. The US has seen some of the same effects minus government nationalizing companies. Somehow Germany despite high labor costs remains a strong manufacturing economy. All of these young men you are "absorbing". If they cannot find legitimate work they are either going to remain being supported by the state or turn to criminal activity. Possibly both. Maybe it is time to return to limited immigration. And simply having a thick enough hide to tell the critics that will call you racist or immigrant phobic to shut the hell up. Because if you don't, the Britain you know will be gone in 30 years tops. The English, Scots, Welsh and Irish will be disposed minorities in their own homelands. 1) More a lack of a policy from my viewpoint.

While the series is a work of fiction it takes place during the period when Celtic Britian was undergoing colonization by the Angles, Saxons and Jutes from what is today northern Germany and Denmark.

  112.  @crowdpleaser1036  From an outsider's perspective it seems a lot of the initial push for more immigration arose out of labor shortages and a supposed jobs (insert nationality) are willing to do. Much of Western Europeis going through a demographic crisis. An aging population with a falling birth rate amongst the native population. Some of the aging population is due to longer life spans. Another part of it in my opinion is the relatively large number of people starting with the Boomers but hot li ited to them that actively decided to not have children. Or stop at one. No matter the reasons stated in my opinion it stems more from selfishness. The I'm not going to put my life on hold for kids attitude.

What they define as progress will only result in universal poverty**. And they act like fascists when they seek to restrict the right of free speech of others. If they want to protest or chant. Fine. They have that right. What they do not have the right to do is. 1) Limit the freedom of movement of other people involved in their lawful business. 2) Shut down the speech of others because they judge it hateful, racist, transphobic, homophobic or any other excuse they can dream up. *l am not saying the West gets off Scot free. There are people and nations in the West that have done despicable things. Yet these "progressives" would ignore everything good the West has given humanity. And toss it in the trash bin for a failed political philosophy. A philosophy that fails because it ignores the very nature of human beings. **Tax the rich will become a sliding scale. Once the billionaires are taxed out of existence they will set their sights on the millionaires. Until they eventually get down to anyone who has any savings period.

  126. I used to work for a company here in the US that builds and services machinery and systems for dealing with "waste" (1). The primary side of the business was dewatering machinery for "sludge". Sludge is what is left after sewage plants are finished with the bio side of treatment. If you want to get the solids (poop once it goes through the digesters) you need to dewater it. There are a number of ways to do this. One of the most efficient are large industrial centrifuges. That is what we built. Since I retired l think they are currently building machines with a diameter of around 1 meter on their spin axis. We also built machines for the oil recovery industry, various food and meat processing applications etc. The owner and founder had two sayings. If we had a job that came in that did not smell of roses. The saying for that was "it smells like money". The other was. "lt's a growth industry. Every year there are more people and they all poop. And somebody has to do something with it." 1) There us no such thing as "waste". What most call waste is simply a resource that no one has found a use for. Or is looking for an economical process to employ to that use. The chemical side of the PetroChrmical industry largely derives from research into finding uses for the gunk left over from refining petroleum. The problem comes from the people and governments that just look at "waste" and decide the cheapest option is to just dump it somewhere.

  132. I can see why someone living in Pakistan etc might want to immigrate. But being willing to immigrate should mean being willing to adapt to the society of the country you immigrate to. This does not mean that someone from Pakistan or Afghanistan needs to become a three piece suit bowler wearing Englishman or Western cowboy if they immigrate to Wyoming. It also does not mean that England or Wyoming have to change their society to accommodate the immigrant. When in Rome after all. In times past cousin marriages were likely common in some societies simply due to isolation. That should not be a problem in any society today simply because of the greater degree of mobility we enjoy. Unless of course someone immigrates and then chooses to recreate the society they fled.

  133. How long before the bureaucrats is come after the poeple with a lathe or milling machine in the home workshop because it might be used to do something "evil". Hillary Clinton once wanted to ban private ownership of any tool that could be used to modify a firearm (1). It had to be explainded to her that would include any tool down to files and hacksaws. It frosts my backside whenever the oh so morally superior take it upon themselves to judge or belittle anothers persons interests, hobbies or pastimes (2). Just because you or l may think their interest is silly does not give us the right to judge them. As long as they hurt no one it is no the bodies business. Of course if someone does cause physical harm with a pefectly legal object then the government will step in to save us from ouselves. Overstep more likely. 1) We will leave aside the question of whether someone believes that a private individual should be allowed to own firearms. 2) One prime example is "grown men playing with trains" for model railroaders or as you call them in the UK model railways.

That the host should change their own society to accommodate them. That they seek to recreate the society they left. The UK is commiting slow suicide. One day the Ethnic British will wake up a minority in their own country. Now let's get to the origin of the Palestinian refugees. In 1948 when the UN created Israel and Palestine out of the British Mandate the first thing the Arab states in the region did was attack Israel. At the same time they asked all the Palestinians in the region to evacuate. With the promise that they would be back home in days. It didn't quite work out that way did it. Instead of absorbing the refugees they kept them in squalid refugee camps. Refusing to give them citizenship.

Heavily Melanated skindoesnot mean they were culturally like Sub Saharan Africans. When l was a wee sprout the neighbor across the street came home after being stationed for two years in Libia. He was tanned darker than a lot of so called blacks. In my opinion the only way to judge the actual state of a persons normal skin color is at birth or areas on their body that never sees the direct sunshine.

  141. Why is it left leaning individuals will never listen to what people say. If a terror group advocates genocide or ethnic cleansing they get a pass or it is ignored. There are other similar cases. When the civil war (1) in Sudan became news worthy the left largely ignored it. Why? I suspect because they did not have a European derived nation or ethnic group to feel enraged about.

  149. Its a video game. They can make up what ever they want. The problem arises with people so shallow they accept it as reality. The same with Britian has Always Been a Nation of Immigrants. To a degree that's true. Over the last few millennia there have been a few waves of immigration into Britain (and back and forth between Britian and Ireland). The early Celts probably moved in and changed the previous Bell Beaker culture. The Angles, Jutes and Saxons immigration certainly changed the culture of Southern England. As did Danes and Norwegians in the North. The Normans certainly put their own veneer over Britain. But in each of these immigrations the native population was never pushed aside. Languages may have have changed. Religions changed starting with Christian Romans. But the immigrations were more like close genetic cousins moving in next door.

  156.  @DaBriars  Welcomed? Maybe some places. Certainly not where my Irish ancestors went. Plus they were never given a roof over their head and food in their mouths. Plus they realized even with the prejudice against them they had to assimilate into the larger society. How many of today's immigrants are willing to do that. I don't expect immigrants to Ireland, Britain, the US, France or any other Western countries to turn into culturally perfect copies of the Irish or anyone else. But the immigrants should not expect Ireland or any other country to turn into the nation they fled. One of the Central American presidents has stated the problems of wide spread massive immigration is to a large degree the fault of the countries the migrants are fleeing from. The fault lies in that these countries have failed their own citizens. Are their problems all their fault? No they aren't. Some of their problems can be traced to US interference. Just as some nations problems can be traced to economic policies they attempted and could not afford. Or implement properly.

  159. The first really successful steam powered flight happened in the early 1930s. A two cylinder double expansion steam engine was fitted to a proven airframe and flown. Simply to prove it could be done. Where the Wrights really succeeded was in their use of wind tunnel data. Which let them refine their wing design. And their propeller design. Their wind tunnel data proved that the lift and drag data that other experimenters were using was wrong. Look at the early attempts and the propellors they used. Crude creations of wood and fabric. The ones the Wrights developed approach the efficency of modern props. The Wrights really did invent contolled usable flight.

  161. In the US some ethnicities once they could afford a single or multifamily home would look at the space devoted to a front or rear lawn and immediately tearout any lawn and devote it to vegetable gardens. Italians used to be known for this. Not a problem in my book as long as it is kept up. Used to grow a lot of our own vegetables and some fruits ourselves. But building over every square foot or meter of lawn/garden space does something else. In warmer weather l can be outside looking after the flower beds out front. And when l take short break in the backyard it feels about 5 to 10° F cooler simply because of two large shade trees. This is another benefit of what l call private green space. The down side is clean up in the Fall. But as to private vegetable gadens. There is now a movement, at least in the US to seek to eliminate them as some see them as "contributing to excessive greenhouse gases due to their lack of efficiency". If l wished l CV ould cut down my shade trees, tear out the lawn and convert it all to growing vegetables. Maybe l would not be self sufficent but it would go a long way towards eating better in the Summer and Fall. Nothing like a Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato sandwich made with lettuce and tomatoes you just picked.

  167.  @Whoishere2333  When the incident involving Jacob Blake happened a major problem was the spread of false information concerning why the police were there (1) and the video shot by someone from across the street in their apartment was edited to not show the events just before the shots being fired. City and county officials knew the information that was being reported by the media was wrong but did little to counter it. I am not saying the shooting was justified (2). I am saying that social media is a tool that can cause a great deal of harm. 1) The police were there because Mr Blake's girlfriend had a protection order requiring him not to be in her presence. She called 911. There was also an outstanding arrest warrant for Mr Blake for a charge of 3rd Degree Sexual Assault. The officers were there in response to the 911 call and to execute the warrant. 2) I think the number of shots fired comes down to a couple of things. First is adrenaline. Second is the type of weapon. A double action revolver generally takes more effort to fire each round than a semiauto pistol. The officers were armed with semiauto pistols. Officers in Kenosha had not been armed with Revolvers for close to 30 years at the time. And when they carried Revolvers they were limited to issue .38 Special Revolvers or they were allowed to carry .38 Special or .357 Revolvers they had purchased themselves but were only allowed standard .38 Special ammunition. A .357 will chamber both .38 Special and .357 ammunition. The difference is the in the case length and powder charge.
