Let's remember fararge has a history of making comparisons he has no plans to follow.

Switzerland and Norway during Brexit.

The equive now would be to say not funded by taxation dose not mean the US model.

The UK is unique in funding the NHS from the general taxation fund. Everyone else with universal healthcare uses an NI like setup. Our NI dose not fund the NHS. This was an intentional choice that the right strongly objected to.

Fararge will never admit to going US style. He will propose different systems while refusing to commit to any one set of rules.

Really dose not take any imagination to consider who may want this unsure potential change in the UK. More soost it working for Brexit.

It is important for all media and other folks talking to him. To force him to describe the future system he wants.

Being vague is not to be trusted.

That's OK. We all know how hard your working to train your sperm. Having it jump into socks when only American eggs are nearby. Is at least creative as a solution.

But they also should have been more independent in the first place.

Sorta comes with actually following agreements. And the US ignoring it's own past.

After ww2 the US forced European nations into following US fiscal leadership. In exchange for the fiscal support post war.

You ignored the war for 4 years building up your power while Hitler destroyed Europe. Then used that power to entrape Europe into your methods.

Add to that using your huge defence budget to overpower the spending of remaining world. And dependency on the US was not an option bot a act of force.

Wow you eat at some classy places.

Most would do that to the mushroom on your plate.

Only the real classy places will go get a second oneto hide their actions.

Unfortunately you elected him twice. Knowing what a arsehole he is.

So now the rest of the world has absolutely no reason to trust any treaty you sign. It just time until you elect another nutter who will ignore the treaties when it suits them. Or the billionaire buggering them.

Heck you started a trade war with a nation he signed a free trade deal with last time you elected him.

You are not a nation to trust even though some of you may be sorta cool.

Your legal systems independence is proven false and party driven. And your constitution seems intentionally meaningless, as a form of government control.

While your second amendment seems to only increase the availability of death. With no ability to control the power of your government.

You are basically a member of a failed state.

Why the fuck would anyone trust a trade deal with the US anyway.

Australia had one and trump started a tarrifs war with them.

Trump signed one with Canada and Mexico.

Woke up with a dick up his arse so started a tarrifs war with them.

The US is not to be trusted with trade. They will just vote in another random nutter with a axe to grind and ignore any treaties they sign.

Do not give them the accolade of discussion.

Uncommon things are entirely normal.

It is entirely normal for humans to develop different body forms and mental makeups.

It is the very process of long term evolution. And to be expected in any species.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Uncommon and abnormal are not the same thing.

Something can be rare and still normal.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

As I say. Every group of humanity comes in all levels of mental health.

Non of it makes any difference to this debate. Other then to normalise trans behaviour.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago (10 children)

So you claim to have seen evidence.

That trans people come as sane or insane as everyone else.

Not sure you are making any point at all.

It is and has always been a flawed document. Never having the power Americans are so proud of.

It never enshrined the principals of the declaration of independence.

And has never protected the right of anybody who is actually challenged.

Every group ever oppressed has found only changing the document allowed them any protection from an abusive government.

And any US government that wants to abuse has found ways around the document. Even when changed. Without an agreement on enforcment independent of party politics. It is worthless.

A 2 second look at US abusive history proves it protects only those in power.

3/5 human

Us citizens in concentration camps due to race.

Just 50 years of body autonomy wipped out as soon those who opposed it gain power.

The first step has to be to stop thinking of the constitution as some protection for rights. And instead to ensure leaders at every level are only selected if they support them.

If the US cannot get behind that simple principal. It has no claim to protect rights. Any more then the rest of the world dose.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Most of our weapons depends on them.

If they did not the US spend more then the rest of the world combined.

And most importantly the leader is not sane. Showing strength has no effect even when nations like China who have strength do so.

We would just look like a noisy chihuahua with much the same result.

Much better to wag a tail while building relationships with other nations.

Noticed a couple of people claim to have received comments from icom.

Indicating their engineers are working on an update to allow continuation of supply.

Very happy with mine. Works perfect ad a radio for my small narrowboat.

Will be interesting to see exactly what parts they are having issues with supply of.

I also wonder if anyone has ever looked into creating a 3rd party replacement head unit. Seems likely the main control from head to base. Is a version of CI

If so should be possible to build a simple colour display head. Using something like raspberry pi with a display and encoder dial.

 

A place for member to tell each other about themselves.

OK. We know many boats have pets. We also see loads of wildlife along the canals and rivers.
