11:47 am

Shirlockc

thx for the fa clues would never have gotten those

12:32 pm

hokie carla

the clue seems easy, yet it's not working

12:37 pm

momof5

Add a vowel in the middle

12:43 pm

hokie carla

looked it up. I thought the name had a vowel already

1:00 pm

hokie carla

seafart - an old guy on a boat

1:25 pm

mkg

I dont get these fa words. Got the actress. And got the ending. Must be missing a vowel or cons. In the middle.

1:25 pm

mkg

Just got it. Vowel in middle. Ty

1:26 pm

mkg

I guess actress name must be 4 letters not 3.

2:03 pm

MollyL

No, her name is three letters. The clue should have been King Kong actress + vowel + alt spelling of opposite of heavy

2:14 pm

cybernan

hello everyone :) Happy Thanksgiving if there are any fellow Canadians around

2:18 pm

cybernan

2:23 pm

welki

hoping that our israeli players, player girl, ishult, and any others, are safe and unharmed

2:27 pm

cybernan

yes - fanaticism at its worst

3:00 pm

periwinkle

I hope so too, welki

3:13 pm

periwinkle

ye7 please

3:17 pm

Gillie

Fanaticism would less easily take root if the Israeli government could be persuaded to stop imprisoning Palestinians without charge, taking their land, and killing them indiscriminately.

3:17 pm

sajarn

do you have proof of your assertion?

3:18 pm

Gillie

Check with Amnesty International, among others

3:18 pm

Gillie

Imprisoning Palestinians without charge is hardly a secret

3:20 pm

cybernan

I agree Gillie

3:23 pm

cybernan

I think people forget that a chunk of Palestine was taken away to form the country of Isreal to begin with; then not being satisfied with what they were given, the Isrealis went to war to grab more land.

4:13 pm

auntnope

Cybernan and gillie…you are so correct. We’ll put!

4:20 pm

sajarn

it's hard to check out the amnesty international website bc it appears you have to make a donation before you can peruse their material. I've tried. On the other hand if you'd like another point of view, I invite you check out this video:

4:28 pm

MollyL

That link won't work, try converting it on tinyurl.com

4:37 pm

sajarn

I will, thank you.

4:39 pm

sajarn

Hopefully, this will work. https://www.prageru.com/video/the-midd\nle-east-problem

4:40 pm

sajarn

if you put the link into a search engine, it works.

4:40 pm

welki

i was conveying well wishes to members of our community, that's all.

4:51 pm

7:44 pm

HarryHood

Wow. Horrified to read the libel earlier on this chat. Israel "land-grabbing" ??? When attacked it defended itself - in 48, 56, 67, 73. That's a "landgrab?"

7:45 pm

HarryHood

And here's some reading material about amnesty international's reliability: https://tinyurl.com/45rbksce

7:47 pm

HarryHood

Israel left Gaza of it's own volition, setting up a plan for an airport, industry and a healthy economy. Things went south when hamas took power and started using all the cement for tunnels instead of buildings. Hiding missiles in schools and mosques.

7:49 pm

HarryHood

Don't give me crap about "killing palestinians indiscriminantly" and "stealing land" - the israeli army exercises more caution than most - if their enemies cared more about their children than about killing jews, things would not be so dire.

8:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

8:20 pm

Trifioso

8:20 pm

car.eeyore

8:21 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am either too busy to get from U city to old city or it's too late and I don't want to run the gauntlet of school kids. why the hell are they always wandering around down there?
