Europe, the EU,</div>
<div class=3D"">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Islamic immigration and =
healthcare</div>
<div class=3D"">Message-ID:</div>

<div class=3D"">Content-Type: text/plain; charset=3D"utf-8"</div>
<div class=3D"">&nbsp;</div>
<div class=3D"">Hi list, some of you are don?t like it when I post stuff =
like this but</div>
<div class=3D"">never challenge any of the points I make or even =
privately debate them with</div>
<div class=3D"">me.&nbsp; Some of you find them interesting and some =
have deleted this e-mail</div>
<div class=3D"">already.&nbsp; Well, I read a lot of stuff on YouTube =
and regardless of any</div>
<div class=3D"">opinion or political allegiances it does seem to me that =
not everyone</div>
<div class=3D"">understands the basic of some issues and that leads to =
misunderstandings.</div>
<div class=3D"">Sure, the list should be to discuss LBC stuff but I =
think the archive will</div>
<div class=3D"">confirm other stuff, sometimes contentious (public =
drafting on the highway</div>
<div class=3D"">and not in LBCs) topics get discussed.</div>
<div class=3D"">&nbsp;</div>
<div class=3D"">Firstly, part of the reason countries are helping =
Ukraine in their fight</div>
<div class=3D"">against Russian aggression and attacks, lie with The =
Budapest Memorandum on</div>
<div class=3D"">Security signed in Budapest, Hungary, on 5 December =
1994.&nbsp; The summary is</div>
<div class=3D"">that Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons as part of a =
defence deal.&nbsp; The</div>
<div class=3D"">other obvious reason is that when one country attacks =
another and seeks to</div>
<div class=3D"">completely invade it there is choice other countries =
have to make in</div>
<div class=3D"">whether to sit back and do nothing or find a way to =
help. Thirdly you have</div>
<div class=3D"">to consider a domino effect scenario where Russia =
defeats Ukraine and then</div>
<div class=3D"">goes onto rebuild the USSR.&nbsp; Maybe that sounds like =
a problem for the</div>
<div class=3D"">Europeans and I guess it is, or at least first.&nbsp; =
But if the dominos carry</div>
<div class=3D"">on falling then you once again have a USSR that =
threatens the USA.</div>
<div class=3D"">&nbsp;</div>
<div class=3D"">NATO is the North Atlantic (not North American) Treaty =
Organisation (the</div>
<div class=3D"">French call it OTAN for French grammatical reasons I =
don?t understand).</div>
<div class=3D"">It?s not a club of buddies to bully anyone but a club of =
buddies to defend</div>
<div class=3D"">each other against a big bully.&nbsp; It?s not a =
European idea or club and</div>
<div class=3D"">Canada is a member.&nbsp; Despite the rhetoric you might =
read or hear, NATO</div>
<div class=3D"">isn?t a way for everyone apart from the USA to get =
defence on the cheap.</div>
<div class=3D"">Not everyone in the club might agree that everyone is =
paying enough.</div>
<div class=3D"">However, the member paying the most doesn?t say it will =
pay less but argues</div>
<div class=3D"">others should pay more.&nbsp; Why is that?&nbsp; Well, =
you might have to do your own</div>
<div class=3D"">research on that.</div>
<div class=3D"">&nbsp;</div>
<div class=3D"">Europe isn?t a country it?s a geographic region.&nbsp; =
The EU is not the same</div>
<div class=3D"">thing as Europe because the EU is a kind of club.&nbsp; =
Strangely enough the EU</div>
<div class=3D"">has been viewed by some members and one ex-member as a =
club where not all</div>
<div class=3D"">the members pay in enough money or get equal benefits =
out of it.&nbsp; The</div>
<div class=3D"">republic of Ireland is not in NATO but is in Europe and =
is in the EU.&nbsp; The</div>
<div class=3D"">United Kingdom (Great Britain, sort of) is in NATO and =
is in Europe but is</div>
<div class=3D"">not in the EU (it left some years ago).</div>
<div class=3D"">&nbsp;</div>
<div class=3D"">Is Europe being taken over by Islamic (Moslem) =
immigrants?&nbsp; Well, I don?t</div>
<div class=3D"">think so.&nbsp; I could make a joke and say that in =
England at least, the Hindus</div>
<div class=3D"">and Sikhs would never allow that to happen. You also =
have to understand</div>
<div class=3D"">there are actually 2 major and one lesser Islamic group =
? not sure if this</div>
<div class=3D"">is quite the same thing as Catholics and Protestants but =
it?s how I like to</div>
<div class=3D"">think of it.&nbsp; Over the years I?ve worked alongside =
Moslems and they were</div>
<div class=3D"">great people and not extremists.</div>
<div class=3D"">&nbsp;</div>
<div class=3D"">I read a lot that the reason Europeans have free =
healthcare is because they</div>
<div class=3D"">rely on the US, as part of NATO, to protect them rather =
than pay for their</div>
<div class=3D"">own protection.&nbsp; In the UK free healthcare came =
into being after WW2 and</div>
<div class=3D"">existed all the way through the Cold War at a time when =
the UK spent a lot</div>
<div class=3D"">more on defence than it does now.&nbsp; However, it?s =
not quite as encompassing</div>
<div class=3D"">as it used to be.&nbsp; For example, when I was a child, =
medical prescriptions</div>
<div class=3D"">were free but for decades since there has been a fee to =
pay.&nbsp; Similarly,</div>
<div class=3D"">all dental care was free when I was a child but now =
while it is still</div>
<div class=3D"">subsidised there is 3 tier system of fees and it can =
still be very</div>
<div class=3D"">expensive.&nbsp; I think at least one country in Europe =
has free healthcare.&nbsp; A</div>
<div class=3D"">question to consider then is if the US spent less money =
on NATO and defense</div>
<div class=3D"">generally would it be enough for free healthcare?</div>
<div class=3D"">&nbsp;</div>
<div class=3D"">I think that?s all the stuff I believe I can help others =
with their</div>
<div class=3D"">understanding of and I?m confident that listers are =
generally smarter than</div>
<div class=3D"">everyone else but may have friends with lesser rides and =
knowledge</div>
<div class=3D"">generally!&nbsp; Also, while I have political opinions, =
I am not a member of any</div>
<div class=3D"">political party and haven?t always voted for the same =
political party.&nbsp; I</div>
<div class=3D"">have enlisted military service but not combat =
experience.&nbsp; Recently I even</div>
<div class=3D"">applied for and have been granted a HM Forces Veteran ID =
card and maybe</div>
<div class=3D"">when I get my 3rd one it will actually correctly record =
the initials for my</div>
<div class=3D"">Christian/Fore names. . . .</div>
<div class=3D"">&nbsp;</div>
<div class=3D"">I?d like to finish with a quote from Henry Ford: ?Any =
man who thinks he can</div>
<div class=3D"">be happy and prosperous by letting the government take =
care of him better</div>
<div class=3D"">take a closer look at the American Indian?.&nbsp; =
However, it seems to be bunk</div>
<div class=3D"">and that he never said that but did say a bunch of other =
stuff.&nbsp; So, how</div>
<div class=3D"">about a quote from the bible? Matthew Ch19 v30 (NIV) But =
many who are first</div>
<div class=3D"">will be last, and many who are last will be first.</div>

<div class=3D"">Hi list, some of you are don?t like it when I post stuff lik=
e this but</div>
<div class=3D"">never challenge any of the points I make or even privately d=
ebate them with</div>
<div class=3D"">me.&nbsp; Some of you find them interesting and some have de=
leted this e-mail</div>
<div class=3D"">already.&nbsp; Well, I read a lot of stuff on YouTube and re=
gardless of any</div>
<div class=3D"">opinion or political allegiances it does seem to me that not=
 everyone</div>
<div class=3D"">understands the basic of some issues and that leads to misun=
derstandings.</div>
<div class=3D"">Sure, the list should be to discuss LBC stuff but I think th=
e archive will</div>
<div class=3D"">confirm other stuff, sometimes contentious (public drafting o=
n the highway</div>
<div class=3D"">and not in LBCs) topics get discussed.</div>
<div class=3D"">&nbsp;</div>
<div class=3D"">Firstly, part of the reason countries are helping Ukraine in=
 their fight</div>
<div class=3D"">against Russian aggression and attacks, lie with The Budapes=
t Memorandum on</div>
<div class=3D"">Security signed in Budapest, Hungary, on 5 December 1994.&nb=
sp; The summary is</div>
<div class=3D"">that Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons as part of a defe=
nce deal.&nbsp; The</div>
<div class=3D"">other obvious reason is that when one country attacks anothe=
r and seeks to</div>
<div class=3D"">completely invade it there is choice other countries have to=
 make in</div>
<div class=3D"">whether to sit back and do nothing or find a way to help. Th=
irdly you have</div>
<div class=3D"">to consider a domino effect scenario where Russia defeats Uk=
raine and then</div>
<div class=3D"">goes onto rebuild the USSR.&nbsp; Maybe that sounds like a p=
roblem for the</div>
<div class=3D"">Europeans and I guess it is, or at least first.&nbsp; But if=
 the dominos carry</div>
<div class=3D"">on falling then you once again have a USSR that threatens th=
e USA.</div>
<div class=3D"">&nbsp;</div>
<div class=3D"">NATO is the North Atlantic (not North American) Treaty Organ=
isation (the</div>
<div class=3D"">French call it OTAN for French grammatical reasons I don?t u=
nderstand).</div>
<div class=3D"">It?s not a club of buddies to bully anyone but a club of bud=
dies to defend</div>
<div class=3D"">each other against a big bully.&nbsp; It?s not a European id=
ea or club and</div>
<div class=3D"">Canada is a member.&nbsp; Despite the rhetoric you might rea=
d or hear, NATO</div>
<div class=3D"">isn?t a way for everyone apart from the USA to get defence o=
n the cheap.</div>
<div class=3D"">Not everyone in the club might agree that everyone is paying=
 enough.</div>
<div class=3D"">However, the member paying the most doesn?t say it will pay l=
ess but argues</div>
<div class=3D"">others should pay more.&nbsp; Why is that?&nbsp; Well, you m=
ight have to do your own</div>
<div class=3D"">research on that.</div>
<div class=3D"">&nbsp;</div>
<div class=3D"">Europe isn?t a country it?s a geographic region.&nbsp; The E=
U is not the same</div>
<div class=3D"">thing as Europe because the EU is a kind of club.&nbsp; Stra=
ngely enough the EU</div>
<div class=3D"">has been viewed by some members and one ex-member as a club w=
here not all</div>
<div class=3D"">the members pay in enough money or get equal benefits out of=
 it.&nbsp; The</div>
<div class=3D"">republic of Ireland is not in NATO but is in Europe and is i=
n the EU.&nbsp; The</div>
<div class=3D"">United Kingdom (Great Britain, sort of) is in NATO and is in=
 Europe but is</div>
<div class=3D"">not in the EU (it left some years ago).</div>
<div class=3D"">&nbsp;</div>
<div class=3D"">Is Europe being taken over by Islamic (Moslem) immigrants?&n=
bsp; Well, I don?t</div>
<div class=3D"">think so.&nbsp; I could make a joke and say that in England a=
t least, the Hindus</div>
<div class=3D"">and Sikhs would never allow that to happen. You also have to=
 understand</div>
<div class=3D"">there are actually 2 major and one lesser Islamic group ? no=
t sure if this</div>
<div class=3D"">is quite the same thing as Catholics and Protestants but it?=
s how I like to</div>
<div class=3D"">think of it.&nbsp; Over the years I?ve worked alongside Mosl=
ems and they were</div>
<div class=3D"">great people and not extremists.</div>
<div class=3D"">&nbsp;</div>
<div class=3D"">I read a lot that the reason Europeans have free healthcare i=
s because they</div>
<div class=3D"">rely on the US, as part of NATO, to protect them rather than=
 pay for their</div>
<div class=3D"">own protection.&nbsp; In the UK free healthcare came into be=
ing after WW2 and</div>
<div class=3D"">existed all the way through the Cold War at a time when the U=
K spent a lot</div>
<div class=3D"">more on defence than it does now.&nbsp; However, it?s not qu=
ite as encompassing</div>
<div class=3D"">as it used to be.&nbsp; For example, when I was a child, med=
ical prescriptions</div>
<div class=3D"">were free but for decades since there has been a fee to pay.=
&nbsp; Similarly,</div>
<div class=3D"">all dental care was free when I was a child but now while it=
 is still</div>
<div class=3D"">subsidised there is 3 tier system of fees and it can still b=
e very</div>
<div class=3D"">expensive.&nbsp; I think at least one country in Europe has f=
ree healthcare.&nbsp; A</div>
<div class=3D"">question to consider then is if the US spent less money on N=
ATO and defense</div>
<div class=3D"">generally would it be enough for free healthcare?</div>
<div class=3D"">&nbsp;</div>
<div class=3D"">I think that?s all the stuff I believe I can help others wit=
h their</div>
<div class=3D"">understanding of and I?m confident that listers are generall=
y smarter than</div>
<div class=3D"">everyone else but may have friends with lesser rides and kno=
wledge</div>
<div class=3D"">generally!&nbsp; Also, while I have political opinions, I am=
 not a member of any</div>
<div class=3D"">political party and haven?t always voted for the same politi=
cal party.&nbsp; I</div>
<div class=3D"">have enlisted military service but not combat experience.&nb=
sp; Recently I even</div>
<div class=3D"">applied for and have been granted a HM Forces Veteran ID car=
d and maybe</div>
<div class=3D"">when I get my 3rd one it will actually correctly record the i=
nitials for my</div>
<div class=3D"">Christian/Fore names. . . .</div>
<div class=3D"">&nbsp;</div>
<div class=3D"">I?d like to finish with a quote from Henry Ford: ?Any man wh=
o thinks he can</div>
<div class=3D"">be happy and prosperous by letting the government take care o=
f him better</div>
<div class=3D"">take a closer look at the American Indian?.&nbsp; However, i=
t seems to be bunk</div>
<div class=3D"">and that he never said that but did say a bunch of other stu=
ff.&nbsp; So, how</div>
<div class=3D"">about a quote from the bible? Matthew Ch19 v30 (NIV) But man=
y who are first</div>
<div class=3D"">will be last, and many who are last will be first.</div>

She was from the Pennines mountain area of England, where witches were
known to have resided centuries ago. She had married a Texan, and moved to
the US. My wife and I met her during the Texas Healey Roundup many years
ago, and maintained a friendship until she returned to England. That was
about 10 years ago. She recently has passed.

<div>Hi list, some of you are don?t like it when I post stuff like this but=
</div>
<div>never challenge any of the points I make or even privately debate them=
 with</div>
<div>me.=C2=A0 Some of you find them interesting and some have deleted this=
 e-mail</div>
<div>already.=C2=A0 Well, I read a lot of stuff on YouTube and regardless o=
f any</div>
<div>opinion or political allegiances it does seem to me that not everyone<=
/div>
<div>understands the basic of some issues and that leads to misunderstandin=
gs.</div>
<div>Sure, the list should be to discuss LBC stuff but I think the archive =
will</div>
<div>confirm other stuff, sometimes contentious (public drafting on the hig=
hway</div>
<div>and not in LBCs) topics get discussed.</div>
<div>=C2=A0</div>
<div>Firstly, part of the reason countries are helping Ukraine in their fig=
ht</div>
<div>against Russian aggression and attacks, lie with The Budapest Memorand=
um on</div>
<div>Security signed in Budapest, Hungary, on 5 December 1994.=C2=A0 The su=
mmary is</div>
<div>that Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons as part of a defence deal.=
=C2=A0 The</div>
<div>other obvious reason is that when one country attacks another and seek=
s to</div>
<div>completely invade it there is choice other countries have to make in</=
div>
<div>whether to sit back and do nothing or find a way to help. Thirdly you =
have</div>
<div>to consider a domino effect scenario where Russia defeats Ukraine and =
then</div>
<div>goes onto rebuild the USSR.=C2=A0 Maybe that sounds like a problem for=
 the</div>
<div>Europeans and I guess it is, or at least first.=C2=A0 But if the domin=
os carry</div>
<div>on falling then you once again have a USSR that threatens the USA.</di=
v>
<div>=C2=A0</div>
<div>NATO is the North Atlantic (not North American) Treaty Organisation (t=
he</div>
<div>French call it OTAN for French grammatical reasons I don?t understand)=
.</div>
<div>It?s not a club of buddies to bully anyone but a club of buddies to de=
fend</div>
<div>each other against a big bully.=C2=A0 It?s not a European idea or club=
 and</div>
<div>Canada is a member.=C2=A0 Despite the rhetoric you might read or hear,=
 NATO</div>
<div>isn?t a way for everyone apart from the USA to get defence on the chea=
p.</div>
<div>Not everyone in the club might agree that everyone is paying enough.</=
div>
<div>However, the member paying the most doesn?t say it will pay less but a=
rgues</div>
<div>others should pay more.=C2=A0 Why is that?=C2=A0 Well, you might have =
to do your own</div>
<div>research on that.</div>
<div>=C2=A0</div>
<div>Europe isn?t a country it?s a geographic region.=C2=A0 The EU is not t=
he same</div>
<div>thing as Europe because the EU is a kind of club.=C2=A0 Strangely enou=
gh the EU</div>
<div>has been viewed by some members and one ex-member as a club where not =
all</div>
<div>the members pay in enough money or get equal benefits out of it.=C2=A0=
 The</div>
<div>republic of Ireland is not in NATO but is in Europe and is in the EU.=
=C2=A0 The</div>
<div>United Kingdom (Great Britain, sort of) is in NATO and is in Europe bu=
t is</div>
<div>not in the EU (it left some years ago).</div>
<div>=C2=A0</div>
<div>Is Europe being taken over by Islamic (Moslem) immigrants?=C2=A0 Well,=
 I don?t</div>
<div>think so.=C2=A0 I could make a joke and say that in England at least, =
the Hindus</div>
<div>and Sikhs would never allow that to happen. You also have to understan=
d</div>
<div>there are actually 2 major and one lesser Islamic group ? not sure if =
this</div>
<div>is quite the same thing as Catholics and Protestants but it?s how I li=
ke to</div>
<div>think of it.=C2=A0 Over the years I?ve worked alongside Moslems and th=
ey were</div>
<div>great people and not extremists.</div>
<div>=C2=A0</div>
<div>I read a lot that the reason Europeans have free healthcare is because=
 they</div>
<div>rely on the US, as part of NATO, to protect them rather than pay for t=
heir</div>
<div>own protection.=C2=A0 In the UK free healthcare came into being after =
WW2 and</div>
<div>existed all the way through the Cold War at a time when the UK spent a=
 lot</div>
<div>more on defence than it does now.=C2=A0 However, it?s not quite as enc=
ompassing</div>
<div>as it used to be.=C2=A0 For example, when I was a child, medical presc=
riptions</div>
<div>were free but for decades since there has been a fee to pay.=C2=A0 Sim=
ilarly,</div>
<div>all dental care was free when I was a child but now while it is still<=
/div>
<div>subsidised there is 3 tier system of fees and it can still be very</di=
v>
<div>expensive.=C2=A0 I think at least one country in Europe has free healt=
hcare.=C2=A0 A</div>
<div>question to consider then is if the US spent less money on NATO and de=
fense</div>
<div>generally would it be enough for free healthcare?</div>
<div>=C2=A0</div>
<div>I think that?s all the stuff I believe I can help others with their</d=
iv>
<div>understanding of and I?m confident that listers are generally smarter =
than</div>
<div>everyone else but may have friends with lesser rides and knowledge</di=
v>
<div>generally!=C2=A0 Also, while I have political opinions, I am not a mem=
ber of any</div>
<div>political party and haven?t always voted for the same political party.=
=C2=A0 I</div>
<div>have enlisted military service but not combat experience.=C2=A0 Recent=
ly I even</div>
<div>applied for and have been granted a HM Forces Veteran ID card and mayb=
e</div>
<div>when I get my 3rd one it will actually correctly record the initials f=
or my</div>
<div>Christian/Fore names. . . .</div>
<div>=C2=A0</div>
<div>I?d like to finish with a quote from Henry Ford: ?Any man who thinks h=
e can</div>
<div>be happy and prosperous by letting the government take care of him bet=
ter</div>
<div>take a closer look at the American Indian?.=C2=A0 However, it seems to=

<div>and that he never said that but did say a bunch of other stuff.=C2=A0 =
So, how</div>
<div>about a quote from the bible? Matthew Ch19 v30 (NIV) But many who are =
