Members DramatistDreamer Posted August 27, 2017 Members Share Posted August 27, 2017 Has anyone read this article? It's a pretty good read, a piece about an act of terrorism and a surprising act of forgiveness and the road to redemption. Hopefully this young man can/will do the work to being fully redeemed. At least he sounds contrite. Forgiveness truly is an act of faith. The Two Americans 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted August 28, 2017 Members Share Posted August 28, 2017 Apparently, Liberty University A.K.A. The Falwells own a South Beach hostel that is referred to as a flophouse and a "cesspool of vice". My Weekend at the Falwells’ South Beach Flophouse An interesting article about how the number of Ukrainian refugees has increased this year, thanks to a decades long (some might say outdated) migration program instituted during Soviet times. I see no problem with people who want to migrate for a better life but even most of the people interviewed admit that their lives are not in danger, rather they are mostly migrating for reasons of economic instability in the Ukraine. There are some whose lives are in jeopardy but they live near/on the Russian border and many of those people have already fled. Soviet-Era Program Gives Even Unoppressed Immigrants an Edge Also, Ukrainian migrants have a far shorter wait then say Yazidis trying to get out of Syria. The Yazidis have faced rape and torture and usually have to spend at minimum two years in refugee camps being thoroughly investigated, examined and fingerprinted/biometrics. Ukrainians who migrate often get permission within a year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted August 28, 2017 Members Share Posted August 28, 2017 (edited) Due to Trump talking about how he might end the order that has allowed Haitians to stay in the US since the 2010 earthqauke, thousands have been going to Canada, which is now causing headaches because scams are in place which make many of them think all they have to do is show up at the border and they'll automatically get in. This man just has such a corrosive effect on anything he goes near. I hope this won't play into the hands of the far right in Canada. http://www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-world/world/americas/haiti/article169497902.html Edited August 28, 2017 by DRW50 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted August 28, 2017 Members Share Posted August 28, 2017 Which falls in line with what many (both here and elsewhere) have been saying: namely, that Trump really sees his presidency as an extension of "The Apprentice." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted August 28, 2017 Members Share Posted August 28, 2017 (edited) If this were a joke on Johnny Carson... Carson: "Donald Trump is so racist -- " Audience: "HOW. RACIST. IS HE?" Carson: "He's so racist, even white people all look alike to him!" Ed McMahon (o.c., as AUDIENCE LAUGHS): "Hi-yooooooooooo!"

Members Wendy Posted August 28, 2017 Members Share Posted August 28, 2017 Thanks to lazy-a$$e$ who couldn't be bothered to vote at all and the 30% or so "base", the US is now a complete joke around the world. Can't blame them. If I had enough cash and the means to do it, I'd haul a$$ to Canada right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
