    Those are really good. IMO, Firefly is the best "sci-fi" series, and The Expanse is the best "science fiction" series. There's a lot more "sci-fi" out there than (bona fide) "science fiction" (probably because "sci-fi" is more amenable to general audiences). In my own personal taxonomy - where Firefly is at the "sci-fi" end of the spectrum and The Expanse is at the "science fiction" end of the spectrum - I'd classify Babylon 5 and Battlestar Galactica as "sci-fi". I'd put Star Trek (TOS & TNG, anyway - I'm not familiar enough with the others to say) on the "sci-fi" side of the spectrum, too - but with some tendrils reaching into the "science fiction" side. (Stuff like Star Wars wouldn't go on this spectrum at all - it's a separate sub-genre of speculative fiction I would call "space fantasy".)

    The same kind of shenanigans occurred in the late Roman republic. Mos maiorum and long-established political "rules" started being blatantly and flagrantly violated for the sake of whatever political advantage could be gained in the moment. The killing of the tribune Tiberius Gracchus (under Roman law, the person of a tribune was sacrosanct during his term) ... the refusal of the tribune Octavian to lift his veto of the Lex Agraria (it was expected that a tribune should and would withdraw his veto after a time if it became clear the Assemblies were determined to approve an item) ... the seven consulships of Marius, some of them consecutive (no one person was ever supposed to be consul more than twice, and never in consecutive terms) ... and those are just few of the most notable violations of social and political norms that eventually led to the failure of the Roman republic and the advent of the Caesarian empire. History doesn't repeat - but there's an awful lot of rhyming going on right now ...

    New NPR CEO Gave Ted Talk Asserting “Truth” is a “Distraction” Says it’s ‘getting in the way of getting things done’. https://modernity.news/2024/04/17/new-npr-ceo-gave-ted-talk-asserting-truth-is-a-distraction/ {Paul Joseph Watson | 17 April 2024} New NPR CEO Katherine Maher gave a Ted Talk during which she asserted that “truth” is a “distraction” which is “getting in the way of getting things done.” Calls are growing for NPR to have its government funding withdrawn after a series of tweets by Maher were uncovered in which she supported far-left causes, including endorsing racial reparations and making claims that the planet is “burning.” But the content of the Ted Talk she gave is raising even more eyebrows.

    Also from your own chart Haitians are much safer drivers that than Dominicans, but people from Cuba, Barbados, Trinidad, the Bahamas, are right in there with the white European countries for being safe drivers. Yet...for some odd reason they don't make your list. Why is that? (And based on the chart I provided they're probably safer drivers than white Americans.)

    :rolleyes: Your chart is silly because it has nothing to do with your point. Let's walk through your "thesis" if it can even be called that. 1) You "noticed" driving accidents going up recently. (You didn't include ANY data on that so we're just going off your gut on that). 2) You assume "it must be because of them immigrants." 3) You find a chart NOT OF ACCIDENTS BY COUNTRY OF ORIGIN IN THE U.S., but rather accidents by COUNTRY AS A WHOLE and ASSUME that somehow translates to your gut feelings in points 1 and 2. Why are accidents higher in certain other countries? Could it be bad roads? Could it be conflict? (If your car hits a landmine is that considered a driving accident or a post war casualty?) Could it be a lack of stoplights? Poor maintenance on cars in certain countries because of a lack of parts? Who knows! You just found a stat that goes with you hunch #1 and hunch #2 and by golly you're going to make some hay out of it garsh darnit! 4) You don't even LOOK at the ethnicity or country of origin of accidents by driver in the U.S. to see what's going on IN THE U.S.!

    You whole argument implodes based on facts that you can't disputed. In the FREAKING UNITED STATES Hispanics have lower fatality rates than whites period, end of story. Even from your own silly chart, Mexico is the same color as the U.S., yet you for some unknown reason only mentioned white countries and Japan. And Africans aren't driving the immigration rates right now. In fact Africans never have. Most immigrants are coming from Hispanic countries and Asian countries. It's not even close. Stupid argument is stupid.

    A) I'm surprised the cackling hens didn't all lay eggs when Dr. Phil dropped those truth bombs on them. B) It was fun to see Dr. Phil smack down Whoopi Goldberg's false assertion that the lockdowns were saving kids from COVID when VERY FEW school aged children died from COVID ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD! C) I wonder if he brought up the fact that other countries like Japan and Taiwan had better COVID outcomes WITHOUT closing down schools. D) The Washington Post reported back in 2016 that the Obama administration had turned children over to child traffickers. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/obama-administration-placed-children-with-human-traffickers-report-says/2016/01/28/39465050-c542-11e5-9693-933a4d31bcc8_story.html

Police officers in Brussels shut down a conservative political gathering while former UK politician @Nigel_Farage was on stage. This is the kind of thuggish gangsterism that we rightly associate with Nazism and Communism.

    Just a standard-issue, garden-variety left-liberal who's "old school" enough to recognize, object to, and complain about what progressivism has become. His remarks are of interest primarily insofar as they come from "the horse's mouth".
