Here are their 'Christian Values', direct from the Bible itself. The Book of Numbers, chapter 31, verses 17 & 18 (KJV).

This is Moses relaying orders direct from God to the generals of his army on what to do with captive women, children, and infants.

"Now therefor kill every male among the little ones, and kill every women that hath known a man by lying with him. But the women-children who hath not known a man by lying with him, these you may keep for yourselves."

Amiko plendis al mi, ke en forumo, mi estas tro pacema/plaĉema kaj "ŝutas sukeron sur ĉion". Tio estas kadre de alia afiŝanto, kiu estas manipulema kaj emas "peti helpon" de bonkoruloj por kaŭzi konfuzon kaj ĉagrenon ĝenerale.

Mi kredas ke tio estas ja mia emo - tro plaĉadi, kaj tro preti helpi.

Cone's Law states... Time spent reporting leaves less time for actual work. Government over-reach is where nothing gets done because those few left working are too busy documenting in triplicate all of the nothing which they have no time remaining to be actually doing.

None can be happier than Putin right now over Trump's ending the USA's only non-military power of influence over foreign affairs.

The purpose of 'foreign aid' was to mimic the same ploy perfected by Christian missionaries and food kitchens. Fake generosity in return for an unspoken expectation.

Unlike selling religion, however, the moment that 'generosity' ends, so does any reciprocal 'allegiance' to the USA. Precisely according to Putin's plan.

Me lashing my Spiderpole to the upper deck railing for a three-night stay in Lambert's Bay, South Africa. Operating here as ZS1KYD.

The antenna itself is 7-strand copper, deep sea fishing line strung from out of a casting reel. Tuned for all bands via an LGD RT-100.

Never shake hands with a MAGAt. It no longer means what it used to mean. In a post-covid world, he is instead asserting his Contitutional Right to spread contagion.

Just waive instead. And as you do, waggle your fingers like how Vir did to Mr. Morgan on Babylon 5.

@dj3ei In section III.B.10 of the PDF for ADIF, the enumerations of Morse key type are limited to just only these: SS, SK, SP, DP, Bug, FAB, and CPU.

Above that, in the introduction, there is an example (showing 'DLP') in contradiction to the enumerated list of types specified beneath. A typo?

Along with rig, pwr, and ant, please include also your CW key type: SK, SP, DP, SS, Bug, FAB, or CPU. No need of exact make and model, just only the basic type.

In response to generalizing the Gulf of Mexico, now it is time to cease and desist mistakenly calling the United States after the continent of which it is merely a fractional component.

Four syllables for each, the same vocal effort either way. So leave off saying 'America' ever again, unless meaning the continent.

This will surely piss off a few ... you know just who ... which is exactly my intent. Feel free to join in the fun.
