I'm not sure this is a bad thing at all, because I don't think the directors of the Aquarius have been entirely honest when describing how they operated. Far from rescuing would-be migrants they've been operating a water-taxi service from close to the Libyan coastline to Europe.

The intention, they... [Read More]

"""Hi,
I'm eagerly waiting for my daughter's marriage next month. So we are all busy with shopping and arrangements. Due to the ease of use and convenience, most of the people in Canada are using online shopping stores. We could purchase anything at any time, it doesn't matter.
We are trying to buy some clothes for our relatives and friends and one of my friends suggested to buy the materials from the eco-friendly clothing store available in Canada.She also added... [Read More]

While young people stab each other with growing regularity, what are the causes, the effect and the solutions?

I have my opinions but let's hear yours.

New to the forum. Married with 1 son and 4 stepkids, all grown. 4 grandkids. And lots of furkids. Nice to meet you all.

In an attempt to make it sound like the idea is a progressive one by freezing taxes paid by low earners, it is actually a very bad idea that handcuffs progressive initiative.

Over the past few years, I've done quite a bit of reading on what Neoliberalism is and its consequences. This piece, in which Chris Hedges and David Harvey explore Neoliberalism, is among the better examinations I've come across.

In case some of you don't know, RedGlitter was caring for her elderly father last year when they both got the flu and they both died shortly after Christmas. She wasn't even 50 yet and I still mourn for her. I mourn for her and for Galbally as well. RIP my friends.

You were very helpful in restoring my access. Much appreciated.

So, what have I missed?

G#Gill started a thread Cartoon of the day.....

I love cartoons and decided I would post cartoons there much as I would see on Sunday morning newspapers. Something light-hearted, maybe even funny.

Well, I started to post political cartoons on political threads. I resisted starting a political cartoon thread because there are really some offensive cartoons out there. Well, I decided that we can handle that the same way we handle offensive speech.

I wonder how many if any stories I bought into? Being a Facebook story would be my first alarm bell. Really I believe I know people who would pass such stuff on.

Days you harbor,

Dust off all your worldly
possessions, hurry to love once more.

I really miss me smilies, so when can they be sorted ? I am well aware of spot's anti where the smilies are concerned, but he isn't the only one in Forum Garden. grrrrrrrrr
They can be very useful, particularly when you are not looking at the person you are talking to and have eye contact or able to read any body language.

If anyone can think of anything please offer it up.

No, no, this belongs in 'political discussions'. Give it a moment.

Just after I finished reading this article a certain song popped into my head. This isn't necessarily unusual for me, but sometimes one will jump out at me that adds relevance and perspective to something I read, or hear, or see.

See if you can... [Read More]
