    Default Food for Thought

    75 years after Hiroshima and Nagasaki what happened to the Radiation that lasts for a thousand years ? Pictures follow this persons statement of these two cities followed by pictures of Detroit then and now. Stating that Japan does not have a Welfare system.
    Statement by the author who is not a member of any of the different factions on this site as regards politics.
    These are possibly the 5 best sentences you"ll ever read.
    1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.
    2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
    3. The Government cannot give to anyone anything that the government does not first take from someone else.
    4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
    5. When half the people get the idea that they don"t have to work, because the other half is going to take care of them , and when the other half get the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for , that is the beginning of the end of any nation.
    Somebody elses views outside this group.

    I believe it was W. Churchill who made that statement in the 1950's.

    But so very true.

    John, there is another aspect of that.
    Most of those countries when under colonial rule did very well, then they became independent.
    The rulers became thieves and dictators and as a result the countries became in many instances waste lands.

    Yes there is wealth there, and yes it could well produce the crops.

    But if the people then become physically strong there is the chance they will rise up against the dictators and they do not want that.

    It is control by subversion in most cases.

    #1 was sent to me from a person also involved in Charity Marian , so don’t know if he copied or not . The first part I thought might have raised a few question marks about the short period of radioactivity in the first place. Was it an exaggeration or just pure ignorance. Stay well . JS

    I believe it was mooted this year that we reduce aid in general worldwide .......the screams from the houses of parliament .....could be heard worldwide.....unless some honesty prevails in these countries .....the immigrant situation will grow and grow into europe....until we cannot feed our own ....why will they..... leave france risking death to get here......that miss applied word ....benefits benefits benefit .......in my life benefit is somethng i iether paid into for me and mine or saved for the benefit of a holiday ..or to give my family a benefit or for a serviceman or police officer injured in the line of duty.....not to dig a well for a guy a thousand miles away ..who wont dig it his idle bloody self....i could go on and on but sadly to no avail it appears..... it amazes me that a man will live in absolute poverty but have 6or7 or 8 children who will each at a very early age have the same amount of children again while waving a bleedin beggin bowl....R683532
