    Where in the world did I ever say I support this monster? I think he's bullshit. I think the US is bullshit. I think every imperialistic power that uses other defenseless countries as a proxy to show off who has the biggest dick and grow their influence on the world's resources / riches is bullshit. 

    My heart goes out to the people of the Ukraine and I'm sorry if I came off as insensitive. Maybe I have to wait to give my opinions because people like you twist my words to make it seem like I somehow support fucking Russia. 

    I have been on this forum for over TWO decades and I have seen so many people on this very forum either sit back and defend the US or flat out not give a flying fuck when the US has done EXACTLY THE SAME AS RUSSIA over and over and over and over again.

    Can you please point out where I have twisted your words? (I haven't).

    All I did was ask you for clarification about your thoughts on Putin's invasion, specifically.

    As usual throwing dust under the rug, in the typical american fashion ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’. Whatever, in this UScentric world order nothing of those agressions are ever adressed anyway, the West will keep the inflamatory speech against this Putin agression as if they are some kind of untouchable saints, nevermind the atrocious crimes that destroyed many countries all over the world. ‘Boots on the ground’ (an euphemism expression for invasion) was coined precisely by the same people that are now outraged by Putin agression.

    Just so you don't throw dirt under the rug - let me ask you specifically. What are YOUR thoughts about Putin's decision to invade Ukraine? Do you agree with it? Do you think its wrong?

    1. Ukraine is a sovereign country. It has its own internal problems, like every country in the world. It should have the right to decide whether or not to apply to join NATO. 

    2. Russia declared war on, and has invaded a sovereign country. 

     

    It is reductive, but those are the baseline facts. Whether or not US/EU behaved in a certain way in the past with other situations does not change the above facts.

    How would Canada react if it was made "neutral" by US and RU? In the end, it is near those two countries borders in northwest America? How would Canadians feel to be ordered by RU-US or to have their fate decided by those 2 or others? Shouldn't Ukraine choose what it future should be? Or sovereignty (a principle enshrined in the UN Charter) applies selectively on certain states??? As for the wellbeing of ppl: I understand that its not a factor, but I m saying that if it were, maybe Ukraine naturally would have leaned towards RU. As for the military bases etc. same argument could be made for Kaliningrad with the huge RU bases 5 minutes from Brussels, so its really dumb. 

    Well said.

    Economic suicide? How often did I hear that in the last 30 years, how often did "experts" anticipate the downfall of the German economy? Yet, Germany became stronger and stronger. It has one of the most, if not the most resilient economies on the planet. We can deal with that.

    And what is your proposal? Bowing down to Putin? Handing over Ukraine? And while we are at it, why not add Poland and the Baltic states?

    Isn't Israel a totally made up country by the Western world in the Palestine land in the first place? And why have they been building houses in the Palestinian side in recent years? Nothing against the Israeli public but unfortunately I hate the Israeli state. 

     

    I think that is the crux of the problem, and one that there is now no good solution to. 

    Of course, Israel cannot just 'leave' the land that is already settled by their people. Citizens of Israel deserve safety and a 'home'. 

    At the same time, if any country's lands were partitioned, and given to other people (eg. if someone gave 40% of United States lands to an ethnic/religious group to form a new country) - the original inhabitants would be outraged. 

    It is a bad situation.

    Yep! It's sad to close the door on that "chart domination" part of her career, although number one albums are still very likely for a while. With that said though, the possibilities of what she can do now seem limitless. As long as she keeps the passion she had for MX, I don't see why she couldn't produce some of the best work of her career these next 20 or so yrs. Will be interesting to see how her music takes shape as she grows older, the kids grow up and move away, maybe her thoughts and feelings on mortality......not to sound morbid but artists often times make some of their deepest most personal work in their later yrs. Look at Bowie!!

    Very true. I certainly miss her chart domination - because I want the general population to recognize her awesomeness. 

    But I have to say that MX has just floored me - just so adventurous, thoughtful, purposeful and ambitious. In my Top 2 Madge albums of all time. I am also really excited to see what music she makes as she continues to age and grow.

    Five elderly men and an 85-year-old woman are arrested for 'having public sex in a Connecticut woodland' - after cops catch the amorous seniors during a crackdown on the popular hookup spot

    • Six elderly Connecticut residents have been arrested for allegedly having sex in a public conservation area
    • A married couple aged in their 80s were among those who were reportedly busted in the throes of passion
    • All six have been charged with breach of peace, while two of the men have additionally been charged with public indecency
    • The arrests come after police set up extra surveillance in the area, after earlier complaints of 'lewd and sexual activity' taking place in the woodland

     

    Six senior citizens have been arrested after they were allegedly caught having sex in a Connecticut woodland. 

    Police say they busted the elderly residents getting hot and heavy at Grace Richardson Conservation area in Fairfield last week, during a police crackdown on public hookups in the area.  

    The CT Post identified the locals as Daniel Dobbins, 67; Otto D. Williams, 62; Charles L. Ardito, 75; John Linartz, 62; Richard Butler, 82 and his wife Joyce Butler, 85. 

    All six of the elderly citizens - five men and one woman - were arrested and charged with breach of peace.

    All six of those arrested have been released and will appear in court at a later date.  

    Authorities decided to increase surveillance on the Grace Richardson Conservation following complaints about 'lewd and sexual activity' taking place in the vicinity earlier this month.  

    On August 9, concerned citizens called the cops to report a public hookup happening in the wooded area. 

    The CT Times reports that the Grace Richardson Conservation is listed online as a popular spot for public sex.

    The park has been advertised on at least one 'City Hookup Guide'  as a meet-up spot, alongside other Fairfield locations including a commuter parking lot and a local McDonald's.  

    Police say they will continue to monitor those sites, as well as internet listings, in order to keep public spaces 'appropriate and safe'.

    According to the CT Post, Dobbins has previously been charged with second-degree breach of peace by Connecticut police

    Witnesses said they spotted a him walking around a park naked, before police found him inside his car 'with his shirt and shorts draped over him and no underwear'.

    I love "BATUKA" so much

    So interesting to hear the opinions - I find myself skipping over this song. 

    I think the beat, the melody and the back and forth singing is good and sonically interesting at first.I think the autotune really suits it as a great contrast to the  batukadeiras.

    But after the first 2 minutes it gets very repetitive for me. There is no significant change up in the melody/song structure until the very end, and so the song strikes me as a repetitive and one note. I think I would have liked it much more if it was a 2 min 30 second song instead of almost 5 minutes - or even if the violin was an interlude in the middle.
