Think it's fair?
Foxy,
No but neither is your & Paul's sarcasm in many of your posts when you're cornered. Most of us are sarcastic a lot of times but you two are definitely the main offenders.

indyvidual,

Sarcasm is one thing in response to someone's post.
That's fair.
But personal attacks without any provocation is
totally uncalled for. I didn't even make a comment
on this discussion - yet ttbn still chose to attack
me as he's always done. It appears that I am his
obsession - check his posting record.

Foxy

Why don't you email Graham directly and ask if disagreeing with your constant nagging is "unfair"?

Go on. Do it. Make it official. Ask Graham if my posts are unacceptable.

Thanks to the super-egos and childishness of Paul1405 and Foxy, there will be no discussion of the subject. I'm not going to bother starting a thread again - which is undoubtedly what they want.

Paul just has to try to belittle people, and Foxy is so self-obsessed and on the alert for any slights against herself that she will talk tripe until the cows come home. She seems to live her entire life through the internet: which is a bad enough trait in the young, but bizarre in an old sheila.

Hi ttbn,
In regards to Pauls comment, I may not support the Greens, and have historically sat at the exact opposite end of the political spectrum on polices, but I agree with everything he said in his first response.

- And I'd be surprised if the things they're stating about the Uyghur situation is as bad as what they're making things out to be.

Look at what the US has done in Syria.
- Annexed land and turned it into a pile of rubble, and not only that they aim to keep it that way.

Dana Stroul, Biden official, boasts that Washington "owns" one third of Syria

Emphasis 'maintain sanctions" + "prevent them rebuilding" means 'ensure their perpetual poverty'

When the US acts like this, an attitude that is a part of it's very soul, then it has no right to point the finger at anyone else on any issue.
- Too busy spending hundreds of billions of dollars on regime changes and foreign wars (at the expense of it's own citizens) to even look after it's own bloody country.

The Nordstream pipeline attack was an act of war against it's own allies, for which Biden should be impeached and everyone involved prosecuted.
The environmental impact for that willful act of destruction is equal to a million cars emissions for an entire year.
- And you want to stop the Uyghur's making solar panels?
What about when the West has iphones manufactured in China, and the factories have suicide nets?
Is the West not built upon the exploitation and harm of others?
The Ohio train derailment is the biggest environmental disaster in US history, and they were arresting reporters to cover it up.
Is their climate change rhetoric not proven to be blatent hypocricy when it blows up gas piplines in Europe, wants Germans to freeze and pay 8 times the gas price to increase their own profits, as well as stealing their industrial base?

The US has mastered being at war during peacetimes.
Why invade another country an risk your own military when you can just threaten, blackmail and coduct regime changes without the cost of military intervention, unless absolutely necessary?
America finds a weakness specifically so it can cause civil unrest, as a matter of policy.
They will play up an adversaries shortcoming which often they themselves had a part in creating, and play down any of their adversaries successes.

This is what the UN Human Rights Commissioner said when she went their last year to report on the situation.
- Read it, and then she was threatened and forced to change her position / step down because what she said wasn't in line with the Western narrative.

Poverty alleviation and the eradication of extreme poverty, 10 years ahead of its target date, are tremendous achievements of China. The introduction of universal health care and almost universal unemployment insurance scheme go a long way in ensuring protection of the right to health and broader social and economic rights. China’s efforts in support of the multilateral 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals, both at home and internationally, are also valued. We stressed the importance of advancing gender parity and appropriate geographical distribution.

Over the years, there have been important legislative and judicial reforms. On gender equality, I welcome revision of the Law on Protecting Women’s Rights and Interests, which should bring about several improvements for protection of women’s rights. I also commend the recent reform of the Civil Code that introduced provisions on sexual harassment as well as the anti-domestic violence law that provides for restraining orders to protect women and children at risk. Of course, as in every country, implementation is key, so it will be important for the authorities to be vigilant in that regard and respond to concerns about how the law is applied in practice. I would like to see more women at all levels of political representation, and have encouraged businesses to create the conditions for more women at the top as well.
