@Varn Of course your Indians fought other Indians. That is what civilisations do before they learn to live in peace. Exactly the same things happen in Europe once upon a time. And don't talk about the US messed with the leadership of nations, it is not past it is happening now all the time. Stop blaming people coming over from South America or other nations, these are the very same places that the US has one way or another interfered with by war or by some other means. Often economic. Just look at what is happening in Venezuela or Iran, Iraq, Central America, Libya, just to mention a few.

@St-Sinner, @Varn Yes, Australia has a very bad record when it comes to native aborigines, unfortunately. You are not telling me anything I don't already know and something I shall tell you is that our government is treating refugees abysmally at the moment too. I am ashamed of what they are doing. When you talk about the first Americans having immigrated, that may be so, however there is no history about where from and when, they certainly where there before all the "whites" came and stole their land, and when you are talking about sovereignty and being nothing I cannot fully agree there because what does it really mean. A lot of the immigrants that are in the US are there because the US went into their countries and made wars or regime changes.

Do you know that the happiest people are married men and the most unhappy are married women, so there is a reason for why women who are either divorced or widowed don’t want another relationship. I myself find that men of a certain age want someone to look after them or that they want a “best friend “. Most women already have friends and don’t want to be a crutch for men.

There is a large supply of Rare Earth Metals in Greenland, if the US is prepared to invade Venezuela to get oil then Greenland would be a no brainer for the no brainers in the Pentagon.

Jolanta replies on May 30, 2019:

@Surfpirate They cannot find the US on the map either I have noticed.

Peace of mind produces right values, right values produce right thoughts.

Jolanta comments on May 30, 2019:

And the "right" thoughts are???

Jolanta replies on May 30, 2019:

@m16566 Yes, but what gives you a sense of peace and harmony may not do it for me or someone else.

Jolanta replies on May 30, 2019:

Yes, she has been a little old lady for a very long time. She has.

They cannot say that they want bring democracy to Greenland though and that would be a problem for them.

@Lizard_of_Ahaz They do, however that doesn't excuse what we ourselves do. Be responsible for yourself.

Enclosure, or the process that ended traditional rights on common land formerly held in the open field system and restricted the use of land to the owner, is one of the causes of the Agricultural Revolution and a key factor behind the labor migration from rural areas to gradually industrializing ...

Jolanta replies on May 28, 2019:

So I was under the impression that traditional rights on common land were still in force in UK.

Moravian comments on May 28, 2019:

The land was stolen from the ordinary people or "commoners" by wealthy landowners beginning in the early 17th century. There are still a few commons and commoners in England but only a tiny proportion of what there once was.One of the most well known is the New Forest in the south of England where ...

zesty comments on May 27, 2019:

We should focus on American problems. Let everyone worry about their country. We finance most the undeveloped countries and instead of praising us they keep nagging. Why should we focus on India?

Finance you mean you go there and steel their resources.

People are not stupid.

Jolanta comments on May 27, 2019:

Yes politicians do not want a population who can think for themselves. That is probably why they are cutting money for education.

Jolanta replies on May 27, 2019:

@powder Yes, that may be so, but not completely. I know a lot of people who have not attended university and they are not stupid, however if you are not aware of for example that the media is owned by a handful of people around the world you probably believe everything that is written there. Like in Queensland Adani is going to bring thousands upon of jobs.

How about they clean up all the problems with the priest who interfere with children instead.

Jolanta replies on May 27, 2019:

@irascible Yes, by moving these priest around different parishes they managed to avoid it pretty much.

We all went the same schools, and took the same 9th grade civics class.

Jolanta comments on May 24, 2019:

I was wondering. Is geography actually thought in schools in the US? I saw a clip on TV where people in the US were asked to point out on the world map where the US was and none, not even one could do it.

Jolanta replies on May 25, 2019:

@HomeAloneSunday What do they actually teach at schools in the US then? Surely people should be able to point out on the map where the US is?

And yes there will be people who believe it. Here in Australia we have daylight saving in summer, which means that for 3 - 4 months our clocks change by one hour.

@Neenz I think most people don't have enough of self confidence to be able to function without leaders, that is why so many are going to church.
