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.

Like my father-in-law, just turned 100 years old, who volunteered to serve in the Army Air Force in WWII. Shot down on his second mission and POW till the end of the war.

And my own father who served with the Army Air Force in the Pacific Theater in military reconnaissance.

Think of all the brave men and women who sacrificed so much and served so selflessly and then consider Trump's idea of 'patriotism'.

"It's amazing, I can't even believe it. I've been so lucky in terms of that whole world, it is a dangerous world out there. It's like Vietnam, sort of. It is my personal Vietnam. I feel like a great and very brave solider," Trump said in the interview when Howard Stern asked how he handled making sure he wasn't contracting STDs from the women he was sleeping with.

The business-mogul-turned-politician elaborated on the fact in the interview, calling women's vaginas "potential landmines" and saying "there's some real danger there."

"You know, if you're young, and in this era, and if you have any guilt about not having gone to Vietnam, we have our own Vietnam — it's called the dating game," Trump said to Stern in a 1993 interview. "Dating is like being in Vietnam. You're the equivalent of a soldier going over to Vietnam."


So funny. HAHA. Ugh

I'm simply not able to adequately express my hatred and disgust for this narcissistic monster.
