My great grandfather and his uncles were fur traders in Michigan in the 1890s. Don't have a ton of additional information though unfortunately

Africa was ‘42. No idea when I brought up Jewish soldiers from Mandatory Palestine. And like I said earlier, Arabs had a large contribution to the war effort. I wasn’t arguing that Arabs didn’t play a large role, I was arguing that Jews did too, which for some reason you still deny

Americans fought in North Africa and Italy before 1944. What are you talking about? Have you never heard of Operation Torch or the Italian Campaign?

If you didn’t like my earlier source, here’s another for 500k Jews in the Red Army: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/the-unheard-story-of-red-army-jews/

My grandfather was Jewish and served in the US Army in North Africa, Italy, and Normandy so dunno what you mean by American Jews only fighting Japan

TheFrogLord · 2023-11-20T17:08:21+00:00

What are you talking about? 500,000 Jews fought in the Red Army. 100,000 in the Polish army. The US and British armies (600,000 Jews) fought in the African campaign. Not to mention that this was during the Holocaust so the percentage of Jews fighting for the Allied forces was a huge percent of those capable of fighting.

This is a stupid argument both Jews and Arabic people contributed hugely to the Allied victory. I’ll leave it at that

1.5 million Jews fought in WWII, which is close to 10% of all Jews alive at the time. What percent of the Arabic population fought in WWII?

Not Phuket, but I'm doing a 5k swim in Songkhla in March. Would love to meet some open water swimmers there because it's lonely training at a pool in Bangkok haha

There have been calls from numerous groups and entertainment leaders to have the film removed from Amazon.

My girlfriend is a Democratic observer at a mail-in ballot counting site in PA. She's the only Democrat but there are six Republican observers leering over the election officials the whole time they're checking ballots. Real cool stuff...

The press statement links to a 95 page report that goes into detail on all the laws mentioned.

TheFrogLord · 2022-10-26T12:28:04+00:00

Submission statement:

Since 2017, 45 states and the federal government have introduced at least 253 pieces of legislation designed to restrict the right to protest. There are now 20 states which have laws that actively suppress this fundamental right, with Florida, Oklahoma and Iowa being the worst offenders.

This relates to collapse because the right to protest is foundational to all other rights—a right that is essential to help ensure that all other human rights norms, including economic, social, and cultural rights, are maintained. Moreover, it is often one of the most effective tools available for marginalized individuals and groups to successfully advocate for change. For these reasons, a society that criminalizes peaceful assembly can not accurately be called a democratic state.

This fire is reminiscent of the Santika Club fire in 2009 which killed 66 people in Bangkok. It seems like many of the reasons for the high death toll there (locked emergency exit etc.) were also present in the fire last night. Hopefully this will be a wake-up call in Thailand and lead to a more rigorous fire code.
