We had no business in Vietnam in the first place and had to fake an international incident just to get into the war. But corporations have helped to raise their standard of living over decades of what likely started as sweatshop abuse then turned to more competitive wage earnings as skills rose.
Have you seen the series on Vietnam? I was there not too long ago and I have to say it was probably the best trip I’ve ever taken. .
I really wasn’t anxious to go but as I said it was the most amazing trip. The only thing that scared me was the Cu chi tunnels. You have to realize that I went skydiving at 55, I am a certified scuba diver , and nothing usually scares me,,,those did! It was like crawling through an MRI machine and the fear was not knowing when they would end. Those were the tunnels the Vietcong used. Put the trip on your bucket list
I don't have you on ignore. I don't have anyone on ignore, actually. However, it's very rare that I actually open one of your threads. I haven't found anything you've contributed to the forum interesting or insightful. Sorry.
First Trump is no evil or in the same class as Hitler in other ways. He is far far too stupid to be as evil as a Hitler for one thing even those he does appear to have a talent similar to Hitler in reaching out and appealing to the haters in society. For Trump it is Muslims and foreigners as a class and of course blacks who he aims his hate toward not Jews but once more he is in the minor leagues compare to Hitler.
But his followers are as easily manipulated as the Germans were by hitler. You know those neo-Nazis are “good people.I find the parallels absolutely terrifying
Well I to am not too happy myself over the very surprising number of fellow citizens willing and in fact eager to buy into the nonsense toward foreigners and even non-whites fellow citizens that Trump is selling. Hell from the book fire and fury even Trump and his merry men was in shock over winning.
I haven't the faintest idea. I don't have anyone on ignore. But I do pick and choose whom I respond to. If someone is just spouting partisan political propaganda, that I do ignore and move on. But each is on a case by case basis. So I don't always post to a thread that interests me nor do I always reply to someone who quoted me. Most of the time yes, but not always. I have no use for partisan political propaganda.
I have stopped as most of the country has and is wise to it. .But it is that 35 percent that I find even scarier.
I'm now ignoring 5 people. Amazing how many vile creatures are on this forum. I can put up with a lot but I cannot put up with white nationalists and blatant trolls.
