We are so on the same page - right down to “in his own mind” line. You must be my brother from another mother.

Close, but not quite. Ramaphosa proposed seizure of land without compensation. That didn't pass, did it? That doesn't even come close to what you first said. For the record, it is a despicable attempt at putting that law into place.

You got me beat. I've only been to to 29. Including Greenland, which I doubt you've been to. And, oh yeah, we have the same degrees.

Perhaps that "somebody" was my South African girlfriend who lived with me for 4 years. Now, Mr. Expert, tell me what "Showerhead" refers to.

Usually stems from insecurity.

It sucks being exposed as a hypocrite. Sort of like having Libya or Syria on a Human Rights Council or whatever they are calling it at the moment.

The vehement Israel apologists in this thread complain about discussion of Israel as human rights violators, when THEY are the ones who first mentioned Israel in the thread.

What is their REAL agenda? I suspect not being concerned about the people of Tibet.

I am concerned about what I am concerned about.Those concerns include the Tibetians, Crimeans and Jews. All have taken it on the chin from violent oppressors.

Why did you miss a few. Like Uighers (oh, they are Muslim, so who cares). Like Palestinians (oh, they are Muslim so who cares).

For the record, I am as atheist as it comes. I think all fantasies of some uppity critter living in the sky is ridiculous, like a child having an imaginary friend. But I hate humans mistreating humans. I don't care where, but if there is systemic anti-humanitarian actions sanctioned by a government against any people, I care.

Why do Jews in Iran feel safe (surprises me, but I'm not the one making the assertion, they are).

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/de...-feels-at-home

It feels "Safe and respected"

https://www.usatoday.com/in-depth/ne...ate/886790002/

Again, I am surprised, but it sure doesn't fit the narrative of many here, does it?

I have mentioned Muslim Rohingyas and Dharfuris. My list includes plenty of Muslim groups. What do you think of Boko Harum?

Who can argue with an unimpeachable source like a "girlfriend" for correct political information? I would be embarrassed to even make this claim.

BTW: My girlfriend says your girlfriend is wrong! So there!!!
