| [ The original real St. Nicholas was an olive skinned guy from Turkey. They changed him before. They could change him again. :D And...nobody cares. The prototypical archetype for santa is a chubby northern European with a flowing white beard. Heck! even white jesus is burned into my memory banks |

| They could go one way, or the other. Make both Santa and his helper...of undefined race. Or make Santa also be Black. And indeed someone posted a pic of Dutch parents and their kids interacting with a Dutch Father Christmas, that later dressed in full regalia (almost like the Pope), played by a Bla... |

| :roll: In terms of production, Afghanistan would be the major producer of cannabis resin in the world . This is principally due to the high resin yields measured in Afghanistan (145 kg/ha), which are four times higher than in Morocco (36 kg/ha measured in 2005), where cannabis resin is also produced... |

| Wasn't sure the direction of knowing Palestinian DNA was going, But becomes apparent. For indigenous claims to the land, the modern Palestinians want to claim connection to the ancient Philistines (who predated the arrival of the Jews from their ancient ancestral home in Sumer). According to the vid... |

| Given what Israel has put them through, it's not shocking in the slightest. You'd feel the same way if you were in their shoes. How about the many people subjected to slavery and colonisation all over the world? They all suffer intergenerational trauma loss of land and are subject to dehumanising d... |

| Perhaps one of the helpers could be black, but be played by an actual black person instead of a white person wearing (exaggerated, caricaturish) blackface? It seems to me that a non-caricatured multi-racial set of helpers, perhaps with an actual black person as second-in-command, might perhaps be t... |

| There is currently an ongoing legal battle to sack an openly racist female law professor, Amy Wax from Penn State University. The case has been held up due to Wax launching her own grievance against the Dean of Law at Penn State. https://www.vox.com/23592864/amy-wax-university-of-pennsylvania-racism... |

| Please correct me if I'm wrong but I seem to remember in the Bill Clinton era, the Russians were trying to get rid of the Taliban but didn't have the support to do it. I forget if it was the Taliban or if that was just Al Qaeda during the '80s that was being funded by the US to fight the Russians. ... |

We did it to stick it to the USSR and to pin them down into a quagmire (do Vietnam in reverse on them).... |
