Posted in: Trump grants one-month exemption for U.S. automakers from new tariffs on imports from Mexico, Canada See in context

Just a reminder for everyone: the Trump steel tariffs of 2018 only resulted in around 1000 jobs saved within the steel industry but caused the loss of an estimated 75,000 jobs in industries that used steel due to increased prices downstream.

Well, you just re-adjust accordingly, nothing new, nothing monumentally changed, dumb and cowardly as well as being incompetent would be to allow our allies to further take advantage of the U.S.

You do realize Trump signed the most recent trade deal during his first term with Mexico and Canada, right?

Is he so dumb that he drafted and signed a trade deal that allowed Allie’s to take advantage of us?

It's a war crime, even Curtis LeMay knew that.

Run any litmus test with the same scenario, and you'll chalk it up as a war crime.

No it wasn’t. The 4th Geneva convention hadn’t been ratified yet and there were no international laws prohibiting it.

Jeez, how the Americans won the war, again. The British did the night bombing as they were much better at it.

Wrong. Less than 5% of night bombings in Japan were done by the British

Correct. The plan to bomb PH was discovered by British spies in Tokyo and the US was told about it 6 days before it happened but did not act on the information so they had a reason to join the war.

Another lie. There is 0 historical evidence to support this conspiracy theory

The USA orchestrated the PH attack where they knew right down to the time and day it was going to take place.

No they didn’t. This is a conspiracy theory with 0 historical evidence to support it.

Secondly even IF the above was not correct please tell me where abouts in any part of WW2 Japan targeted any US civilian areas

Sure. Operation Cherry Blossoms at night was the Japanese plan to drop plague bombs over San Francisco. On May 5th a Japanese balloon bomb killed civilians in Oregon.

I eagerly await the response of the Free Speech Absolutists on here.

Free speech only applies to the government. It doesn’t apply to being fired from your job.

Yeah. Europe has deaths due to heat at around 10x of that in the U.S.

Local Government approval is stopping them.

Because of concerns regarding the contamination of local ground water, which is valid. No?

The article simply explain how it can be hard for muslims to find a place and many comments forget there are 100% Japanese muslims

You realize there are Islamic burial sites in Japan, right? The article isn’t about whether or not they should or shouldn’t exist, the article is about dealing with the issue of an increasing population without the burial sites to match.

People are getting cremated, Buried underground, at Sea, on River beds, even cremated above ground daily, so for someone to claim that underground water quality could be impacted is inaccuratE

Not true

”Conclusion:In this review, the issues related to corpse disposal were addressed. It was found that traditional burial can directly affect the soil and underground water, due to the leachate, also denominated as necro slurry. It can carry several pollutants, from organic ions (eg. nitrate, nitrate, sulfates), to inorganic ions (eg. As, Fe, Cu, Cs. Pb, etc), bacteria, and viruses (eg. Escherichia coli, Enterobacter, Klebsiella, Citrobacter, Streptococcus faecalis, Clostridium perfringens, Clostridium”

Also keep in mind this research was done on cemeteries in the U.S., which typically involves burial inside coffins, unlike Islamic burial traditions

Underground water, that just made up excuse

It’s not an excuse. Muslims aren’t buried in coffins. I’d wager to say that a large number of corpses in the earth rotting away is a pretty justified reason to be concerned about contamination.

Ground water excuse, that's coincidentally just happened when new mayor being elected, at least what written in that article.

Can you please post a source or something that supports your claim it’s just an excuse? I’ll wait.

They already acquired land, they only need local government permission, which can be vary from place to place. 

No, they didn’t have permission. According to the article permission was rescinded because there was a potential threat of contaminating the ground water. That sounds like a pretty justified reason to rescind permission, no?

There are vast empty land all over Japan, by now many lands are available even more in Japan.

Perfect, problem solved then. The Muslim community can buy that land and allocate it to burial sites.

Posted in: Growing Muslim population in need of burial plots in Japan See in context

I’m not familiar with Japanese law, but are these communities not able to purchase land themselves and use it as a cemetery? I believe private cemeteries do exist in Japan so there should be nothing stopping them from buying land and appropriating it to burials

If not, what is wrong with the public cemeteries currently available in Japan? Cremation as performed in Japan is secular and doesn’t involve any religious ceremonies.

No im against people benefiting from all my decisions that help them have the life and things they want, yet still voting against me for nonsensical reasons.

I agree, feel free to send me your social security once you retire. You know, since you’re against benefitting from things the Democrats have voted for and pushed, right?

So when Trump saves liberals beloved TikTok will they thank him? Or just complain? 

all TikTok users after this should be required to vote for Trump next time.

Not sure where you’re getting this idea liberal love TikTok seeing as a majority Democrat Senate passed the bill and Biden is the one who signed the bill into law. Do you dislike TikTok? Are you happy the Democrats worked so hard to get it banned or not?

Anyone talking about relinquishing nuclear weapons has surely been asleep for the past 4 years.

It’s a pretty easy thought experiment: do you think Ukraine is better off today than they would have been had they not relinquished their nuclear weapons?

that’s far left media’s supportive interpretation in 2024 of what he clearly said in 2019.

Why did you post that article to support your argument if it’s a far left article full of lies?

If he said it why have you failed to post his actual quote despite posting multiple times since originally being asked?

To support his running again when he clearly said he would not.

Why do you keep saying this while simultaneously never post the quote? Just post the quote of him saying this. You can’t which is why you’re trying to desperately to back yourself out of the corner you’re in now.

incorrect. He literally made it during his campaign in 2019 while running for president. to deflect from fears if elected he would try to run again in 2024 Want a video?

Yes, please post a video so I can continue dog walking you throughout this discussion
