Fuck our country, I had to cash in my 401k because i got fired because I wouldn’t get the Covid shot . I had to pay 178k in federal tax ,so these these mother fuckers can party and live like everything is ok. I hope Putin fire bombs that corrupt piece of shit country.
Side note South Carolina denied me unemployment because I didn’t comply to company mandates. I was employed with this company for 13 fucking years . I had employees get killed and wounded because we have an incompetent government. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2022/03/10/manda-bay-investigation/ I flew a shit of ton missions with Dustin Harrison in Afghanistan , I was his sensor operator. He left L3 to pursue the commercial airlines and years later he came back to the program I was on but he ended supporting AFRICOM , I ended in Al Assad . January 2020 was a shitty month for us . Loosing two pilots and a sensor operator severely burned and the attack at al Assad . I’ve completely lost all faith in this our country. Fuck Joe Biden and fuck Ukraine |

Izbiza beach club is certainly shut down like the US beaches in WWII
 Ibiza Beach Club - Maceo Plex 23.07.21 Yes, I know the video is two years old but it's reflective of what they are offering right now on their website. https://ibiza.ua/en/night I simply couldn't copy their video on their website so I did, and I admit so because unlike some, I want to be accurate and honest, use an older video from youtube but if you look at their very own link, they advertaise the exact same type of parties with tehlightshows. Thus, comparing them to the allies during WWII is utter nonsense. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I wonder if America had people at the beach between the years of 1941-1945. I wonder what a google search would yield. Yes we did. Thousands of wounded troops, and those in training, enjoyed beachfront accommodations. Nearly every airport in Florida was originally constructed to be an army air corp training base duriing WW2. By 1942, America's training facilities in Florida were heavily overcrowded. This led to the military taking over many hotel facilities. Among the hotels used were the Don Cesar in St. Petersburg, the Hollywood Beach Hotel, The Breakers in Fort Lauderdale, the Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables, and several hundred other hotels and motels throughout Florida. Some of the places were used for barracks and others were taken over as makeshift hospitals for injured military personnel sent home from overseas. https://fcit.usf.edu/florida/lessons/ww_ii/ww_ii1.htm |

Quote HistoryQuoted: And a google search yields that the east coast beaches were shut down for partying. No fairs, no amusement parks, and no lights after sundown. Coast watchers and air-raid wardens kept people and even bonfires off the beach. Obviously to those not mentally retared, the US never had a foreign army on it's land during WWII, the Aleutian islands of course exepted, so that comparision fails. However, even so, even without a foreign army on CONUS, the US, especfially the East Coast shut down it's partying during the war. TImes square was blacked out. Beach resorts all along the east coast were closed, fairs and carnivals were closed, lest the U boats used the lights for navigation. You obviously don';t know your own nation's history which is understandable since you seem to be more a fan of a foreign nation over your own.

Edit to address your edit: Quoted: ETA: you are saying Putin does not have aircraft nor missiles? News to the rest of us. Putin does not have aircraft flying over Odessa. If he did, they probably would rely more on the Garmins taped to the windscreens than on lights in the city. He does send missiles into Odessa, but to the best of my knowledge Russian missiles don't navigate visually either. Quoted: Hush, adults are talking.

Oh, I see. When you said "the east coast beaches were shut down" you actually meant "the east coast beaches weren't shut down at all during the day, and hundreds of thousands of people went to the beach, but North Carolina canceled their fair". Makes total sense, obviously you weren't wrong at all. Since you're the well educated adult here, could you tell me if all US fairs were canceled from 42 to 46? Quoted: Beaches in the UK were shut down, strewn with anti-invasion obstacles, and seal ed off with fences and razor wire by 1940. This is a historic fact even if it hurts your feels . Dishonest much? Beaches where there was a realistic threat of an enemy landing were shut down and strewn with obstacles. Beaches where there was no realistic threat of a landing weren't. In Blackpool, for example, you might find people enjoying donkey rides on the beach, or soldiers on leave lying on the beach with their girlfriends. Do you figure there's much risk of a Russian amphibious landing in Odessa these days? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: How do 155, himars, javelins, m16s, nods, and other military aid magically become liquor? Sort of like how $6,000 became a toilet seat in a sub. |

Odessa is getting hammered right now so the beach party might be postponed a bit. Or not. Whatever.

If Ukrainians don’t care enough about the invasion to fight the west shouldn’t care enough to donate

Quote HistoryQuoted: Oh, I see. When you said "the east coast beaches were shut down" you actually meant "the east coast beaches weren't shut down at all during the day, and hundreds of thousands of people went to the beach, but North Carolina canceled their fair". Makes total sense, obviously you weren't wrong at all. Since you're the well educated adult here, could you tell me if all US fairs were canceled from 42 to 46? Beaches where there was a realistic threat of an enemy landing were shut down and strewn with obstacles. Beaches where there was no realistic threat of a landing weren't. In Blackpool, for example, you might find people enjoying donkey rides on the beach, or soldiers on leave lying on the beach with their girlfriends. Do you figure there's much risk of a Russian amphibious landing in Odessa these days? Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Except I wasn't. I even posted an article about the NC state fair being shut down from '42 to '46 and beachside amuesment parks being shut down. Yes, you have some pictures of a group of people at the beach in daytime and partying indoors and I showed actual articles about how many cinemas, and theaters, and night clubs were shut down. Oh, I see. When you said "the east coast beaches were shut down" you actually meant "the east coast beaches weren't shut down at all during the day, and hundreds of thousands of people went to the beach, but North Carolina canceled their fair". Makes total sense, obviously you weren't wrong at all. Since you're the well educated adult here, could you tell me if all US fairs were canceled from 42 to 46? Quoted: Beaches in the UK were shut down, strewn with anti-invasion obstacles, and seal ed off with fences and razor wire by 1940. This is a historic fact even if it hurts your feels . Dishonest much? Beaches where there was a realistic threat of an enemy landing were shut down and strewn with obstacles. Beaches where there was no realistic threat of a landing weren't. In Blackpool, for example, you might find people enjoying donkey rides on the beach, or soldiers on leave lying on the beach with their girlfriends. Do you figure there's much risk of a Russian amphibious landing in Odessa these days? State fairs?

The above are from the first page of a google search. Perhaps educate yourself. In the UK it was even more extreme: The British set about building concrete landing traps, barbed wire barriers, scaffolding all along the coast, but especially the southeast coast where the Germans were expected to land. The Army also began laying mines in large numbers. Artillery was at first very limited as most had been left behind at Dunkirk. Large areas of the sea front was sealed off for about 3 years. Piers were an important part of British beach resorts. The Army even demolished parts of the piers at Hastings, St. Leonards, Eastbourne and Brighton to ensure that the Germans could not make use of them when the landings began. https://histclo.com/essay/war/ww2/camp/eur/phoney/pw-bbea.html#:~:text=Large%20areas%20of%20the%20sea,them%20when%20the%20landings%20began If ignorance is bliss you must be a very, very happy dude. Scotland:  Bournemouth:  Not exactly this:  or this: or this or this:  or this:  Conflating the two is very, very, very dishonest. |

FYI, the people in those twitter vids are insanely rich, and/or well connected. They don't fight wars, the poors do.  Creedence Clearwater Revival: Fortunate Son Yup, I just did that... |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Izbiza beach club is certainly shut down like the US beaches in WWII  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAW3933PyzQYes, I know the video is two years old but it's reflective of what they are offering right now on their website. https://ibiza.ua/en/night I simply couldn't copy their video on their website so I did, and I admit so because unlike some, I want to be accurate and honest, use an older video from youtube but if you look at their very own link, they advertaise the exact same type of parties with tehlightshows. Thus, comparing them to the allies during WWII is utter nonsense. Why do all of the musical performers they have listed on their website look like they're related to world famous Canadian rapper Snow? Or maybe just him. |

The above are from the first page of a google search. The question wasn't "were many state fairs shut down", the question was 'were all fairs shut down'. The correct answer, of course, was no, not all fairs were shut down. North Carolina shut down their state fair; South Carolina curtailed their fair but didn't shut it down. Wisconsin shut down their state fair, Manitowoc County in Wisconsin still held theirs. We could go on and on, but we don't have to because it is an absolute, undeniable fact that not all fairs were shut down during WWII; just like it is an undeniable fact that east coast beaches were not shut down during WWII. Quoted: In the UK it was even more extreme: https://histclo.com/essay/war/ww2/camp/eur/phoney/pw-bbea.html#:~:text=Large%20areas%20of%20the%20sea,them%20when%20the%20landings%20began Do you know what Hastings, St. Leonards, Eastbourne, Brighton, Bournemouth, and Tentsmuir (your Scotland picture) all have in common? They're on the south or east coast of Scotland, where you could reasonably expect a German landing. On the west of England things were a bit different. Blackpool, 1943:  Hopefully this doesn't violate the site's prohibition on bikini pictures. So I'll once again ask you: do you believe Odessa is in danger of a Russian landing? Quoted: Perhaps educate yourself. ... If ignorance is bliss you must be a very, very happy dude. .... Conflating the two is very, very, very dishonest. I would say pretending that all fairs were shut down just because some were shut down was pretty dishonest, but thats just me. |
