Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Rules For the rest of the Site also accessible on the sidebar.

I haven't seen the Newsome report from nick Shirley yet. Hope nick and david are safe. It's so dangerous to reveal crime.
5 bucks says Marines land at Kharg Island and take the oil infrastructure by April at the latest. Probably sooner. And it becomes defacto a U.S Military Base. Essentially an American version of Gibraltar. With the aided benefit of being too delicate to bomb and shell into submission.
The ongoing shenanigans are essentially determining the balance of power in the Middle East for the next century.
I actually beg to differ. I dont see whats happening as putting new leverages in place of old leverages. Rather, removing all leverages and freeing the world.
Happy to take the 5 buck wager, we can settle via some crypto by the end of the year.
Spot silver 80.11
Edit crude oil 92.81

God is love, my frens.
AMEN.
John 3:17.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
God Wins.
