    That article is just about the groundwork for a UNSC resolution to authorize the force. Not the composition of it. I am very, very skeptical you will see any Western forces actually inside of Gaza.Β 

    Agree. Maybe command and control. Small teams. It will be contractor heavy, and not US. Look at the Emirati'sΒ Β

    I had a leak under my driveway. Driveway is paved, 40 yards long Β and bid $5000 to repair leak. I told them to fuck off and bid went to $1000. My neighbor said he got a bid for a 30X10 basic deck and the contractor wanted $60k. Β He was Β willing to pay it. I told him he was a retard and the reason why basic repairs and additions Β were so expensive is because rich people don't check the poors that are stealing. Ended up paying 5K. Β I explained that the GC and all of the contractors were probably meth addicts He priced around and got it done for $5K. Ive been an an attorney for 20 years. People in construction are the most drug addled, dishonest pieces of shit. Β No industry even comes close.Its pathhetic. All on meth or have meth brain.

    I was about to say. There were so many mixed race people in France's Caribbean colonies that they formed their own ethnic group.

    Having lived and worked on both sides of Hispaniola, the womenz are pretty damn bad ass. My brother's wife, girl who grew up in the campo is gorgeous. Her niece is, well, something special.Β 

    One of the most beautiful women I saw in my life was up in the hills around Port Au Prince.Β

    You're not incorrect re France's earlier colonies, particularly in North America (and on the frontier, the British were more relaxed about it as well, both often using intermarriage as means to effect trading relationships). The French in Indochina tended also to be somewhat more tolerant. However, the French Caribbean colonies were quite harsh on the matter, as was French Africa (even more so after the first world war). There is a fairly obvious reason as to why the difference. Metropolitan France, on the other hand, was much more open to those actually in France; this dated back to the Revolution.Β 

    There are the Creoles of Haiti and other islands. Some damn hot women. They fucked but did not marry. Damn I should have thought of that.Β

    One of the things that irks me when Polynesians seafarers are mentioned is that they went island hopping only out of necessity. This is fundamentally not true, but the β€œhistory” of this culture was largely written by Europeans until the 20th century.
    Β 

    They were explorers as well. They wanted to find new places beyond the horizon. They understood how to travel the world’s most beautiful yet harshest ocean. I would imagine that they lost many great navigators in their attempts to explore and find new places, but they kept going. They spread Polynesian civilization across the widest swath that anyone ever has in human civilization history. It is why I hold them and their sailing feats above anyone else that took to the world’s oceans in search of what was out there. That they can still use these ancient methods to accurately travel is, to me, incredible. I have watched up close for the last year what Polynesian culture is like and one thing that stands out is their love of the Pacific Ocean. Everywhere you go on the Windward side of Oahu you will see people out on the water in canoes. It’s still an integral part of life here on these islands as well as every other island group in the Pacific. I still have to marvel that the Polynesians who left the Marquesas Islands a millenia or so ago were able to find the Hawaiian Islands. The seamanship and expertise with this ocean to pull that off has no equal.

    Don't forget.Β
