I had a cat a while back, and when I travelled for a few weeks, my sister, who lives in the same building would make sure she’s fed and the litter cleaned etc and spend a bit of time with her. However, my sister told me that Pickett (cat) seemed depressed, and true enough when I got back she gave me attitude for a few weeks, and so I adopted Snowy for her. He basically taught her how to play again, since she’d been seemingly wanting to grow into old age and just sit on my lap and doze happily for hours.
But, I also had another cat in Dubai decades earlier, and she was quite happy being alone. In fact, she didn’t like anyone but me (she was a rescue).

Well as long as they’ve expressed alarm that’s alright then. Once the IDF bring that down to toddlers, they’ll escalate to “Shock”. Pathetic timeline we live in.

I agree that your entire political system needs a massive overhaul. Far too many lobby groups are spending stupid money to make money, leaving the majority of Americans voices when voting redundant. I wish you luck but I can’t see an easy way out of this for you.

Hello my American friends, as an observer from outside, it looks to me like you all need some of that “democracy” you’ve been bombing across the world for decades.

Thanks. It’s sickening.
- Comment on Israel bombs Gaza aid guards as they are attacked by looters 2 weeks ago:
heinous crimes against humanity. But that’s okay as Israel doesn’t see Palestinians as humans, right?> Israel is exempt from international laws and norms because decades ago an Austrian bastard murdered millions of Jews. This has allowed Israel to play the victim and commit atrocities the entire world should be ashamed of. The entire western “civilised” world is complicit in this genocide for decades of strongly worded letters instead of actual consequences.

In our case, we’d love the army to be able to do it’s job and depend us. The Gulf Arab states can go fuck themselves with the high tech weapons they don’t even know how to use. I agree in time if things remain as is, a new group will emerge, especially given the nature of the new drone warfare.
- Comment on Palestinian president in Lebanon to discuss disarmament of refugee camps 3 weeks ago:
Do you think they would gain independence without the sacrifices of people killed by occupation?> Personally no, being from the middle east I’ve seen what “democracy” brings to the region. Lebanon, as an example, are not allowed to purchase any weapons that can ever be a threat to Israel, how is that being a soverign state? The world is run on the “might is right rule” and I don’t have any answers as to how that can change.
- Comment on Palestinian president in Lebanon to discuss disarmament of refugee camps 3 weeks ago:
No one’s ever stopped them before, and it’s unlikely anyone ever will. This is a good step for Lebanon internally. Unfortunately, I have very little hope for this or any other “positives” as long as Israel continues down their decades long genocidal expansionist path.
- Comment on Palestinian president in Lebanon to discuss disarmament of refugee camps 3 weeks ago:
As a Lebanese, this is very welcome news,if it can actually be done. It’s a good first step, but that’s all it is, a first step. Hopefully one day we can talk about their right of return as well, although I won’t be holdingmy breath.

As weird as this whole topic is, I too want to know the boo equivalent now.

Fuck the zionist genocidal bastards.
- Comment on Israel committing genocide in Gaza, says EU’s former top diplomat 3 weeks ago:
Calling a spade a spade has never deterred Israel, the dark chapter of the holocaust has given Israel a get out card for every crime against humanity for decades. Add to that the insane American evangelical movement that pushes their rapture narrative in blind support to Israel means it’s unlikely the Palastinian people will ever know peace and a homeland.
