The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I had a German uncle. A Jew who saw the writing on the wall, got here in the early'30s. His sweetheart was unable to get a visa. My uncle went back to Germany wearing a US Army uniform. After the liberation, he found his sweetheart. Miraculously she survived as a laborer in several concentration camps.


Either way I hope you plan to support the president.

My uncle was a fabulous story teller and could mimic any language.

In Japanenglish he shared the story of a Japanese admiral who instructed the pilots of his ships airwing:

"Locate the enemy fleet! Identify the biggest aircraft carrier!. Attain full dive speed. Crash into bridge and flight deck of carrier!! Are there any questions?"

A lone pilot stood up... "Yes Admiral-san...are you out of your fucking mind?"
