True. I am worried about over reactions to the far right. Nationalists in
europe are gaining due to the enormous current left swing, and even if I'm
economically right, I don't want nazis going crazy on the streets. But
yes, currently europe is way, way too far to the left. Let's see after the
election to the european parliament in june if the pendulum will start to
shift back.

That is due to the reaction to the leftism the past decade or two. France
I would not categorize a right-wing. France is center/left. Marine Le Pen
is trying but has not yet succeeded.

UK is not right-wing, it's the good old leftist "right" of europe that can
only be called "right" in europe. By american standards UK is thoroughly
democrat.

Italy is a recent swing.

Hungary you are right. They have been right/nationalist for a decade I
think, if not more.

Poland shifted from right/nationalist to center recently.

An important test for the swing of the pendulum will be the elections to
the european parliament. The left is getting so nervous that you are
starting to see (at least in my country) weird coalitions between
socialists and center (which in europe is called "right") parties to try
and stop the right/nationalists from gaining ground.

What left swing in Europe? There is no left swing. There's a right
swing.

Don't vote for Trump then. Trump's a Nazi.

No, genius, there has been a change to the right going on in Europe
for years.

You'd misunderstand and misinterpret the result. Back to Fox News with

I'm not american but I'm pro Trump. I do not think you will have a
dictator, but a strong and principled leader who focuses on his own
country.

The most important thing to me is that the US leaves all the climate
agreements so that china and india cannot keep using that to grow at the
expense of the western world. If that does not happen, in a generation or
two everyone will bow to chinese supremacy since everyone gullible in the
west dismantled all their industry.

Sounds like heaven! Based on what I've heard, seen and read, in sweden
school is extremely politicized and extremely leftist. The children are
inculcated with the values of socialism and this is why sweden of course
has been in decline since after WW2.

But things are slowly improving due to technology. I had a colleague who
would not let her kids watch public television due to the indoctrination.
She would hand pick childrens programs with good, traditional values for
her children.

Strange that right-wingers always want to destroy the planet even
faster then we're already destroying it. Don't y'all have children and
grandchildren?

Speaking of which, we went to visit our neighbor, who was in a terrible accident, in the hospital yesterday. She got hit by a truck nearly a month ago.. I was expecting the worst. What I wasn't expecting is that she looked pretty good. She did a head plant onto the rough Hawaiian asphalt. She doesn't remember a thing about the accident and she's having a problem with her short-term memory. My guess is that there's a good chance for her to have some personality changes. Hopefully, they'll be minor.
The part of her legs that wasn't bandaged looked pretty healthy with good color and no discolorations. Strangely enough, they looked tanned. She's got a bunch of stitches somewhere but I didn't see any. She's a modest Christian lady and typically wears muumuus. I was quite taken by her good looking gams. Hopefully, nobody in the room noticed me gawking at them. Am I a bad person?

What are gams? Legs? Maybe next time you should only visit this
Christian lady in the company of your wife. Just to avoid any
potential escalation.

I reckon Russia didn't need cooperation from the Trump campaign to

Before this war started 2 years ago, there was talk and maybe even
preparations for Ukraine to join the EU. Opponents were against the
idea because Ukraine was even more corrupt than Russia, they said.

That's true. The thing is that Leo's so right-wing that he finds the
Republican party too left-wing.

When one's THAT right-wing what are one's ideas? No right to vote for
women? Blacks in the back of the bus? No abortion under any
circumstance? No welfare allowances for anybody? Close all homeless
shelters? It's hard to imagine.

That naked "babe" probably calls herself a "man" now. It's trending.

PSP stands for Paint Shop Pro here. It's my favorite graphics program. :)

There is no global warming dooms day. That is a myth fabricated by
politicians to make the population afraid and to make them give away their
freedom.

No, I don't want to destroy the planet, but we are not destryoing the
planet. Changes in climate have always happened and are natural.

I could reverse the accusations and say that climate hysterics want to
destroy civilization by increased infant mortality, crashing financial
markets and stop scientific progress.

But I won't.
