Current world events, can we have an open discussion?

Anyone want to hypothesize what China said to Kim that's made him supposedly put a lid on his nuclear ambitions...

How about "Your haircut is much better than Donald's"?

I really shouldn't be drawn in to a conversation about hair cuts.

China told him too put a lid on it or no more freebies shipped in.
Or maybe Russia!!
But if we took away guns and bombs, this whole thing would take on a whole different perspective.
It would be interesting too see who is with who then.

I would generally say that the original subject in question from the OP is possibly too broad and perhaps topics could be introduced on an ad hoc basis. However I am really wary of censorship.

It was working so well that the thread got hijacked.

True, it got diverted. But I agree with Paul's comments, the original subject was too broad so was open to diversion. Still I've learned things and enjoyed the jokes. Its been a good thread.

This thread seems to have petered out somewhat.

Yes, it seemed to dry up when everyone was patting each-other on the back for good behaviour and maturity

Go figure.

The quite before the storm. I wouldn't count any chickens yet, there's a way to go to see the true story to emerge and the true characters of all the protagonists to emerge. It's all a big game of chess or poker and smoke and mirrors at the moment.

Wait until the infection of tourism hits.

They will regret it then!

This is sounds a bit like the joke about the Greek parachutist.

I'm always puzzled by the assertion that Creation/Evolution and, more generally, G-d/Science must be mutually exclusive

True. Although an agnostic myself, it seems to me that if there is a 'God' the easiest way to create the universe would be to set up the scientific rules by which it operates.
