Strictly speaking, you guys were late to WW2 so it's only fair you helped on the rebuild

I support the notion to move the immigration/refugee issue to a separate thread.

Back to the topic of RTW travel post/while climate change.
Do you think this guy would stand out of the crowd?
Do you think this guy would find locals to help and protect him?

Warden, Warden ....
... Shrek is calling Walkabout a troll. You like Shreks post. For everybody who has followed Walkabouts posts this is a clear affront. He might enjoy a heated discussion but he never resorts to name calling and he always stays reasonable. Unlike me ....

A troll, huh?

For low IQ refugee hating blood drinking German Nazi bastards dreaming of the Forth Reich like me that sounds like you agree.

If you don´t, it would be time to speak up, man!

Just wondering ....

Initially that was all I was going to respond to your deliberate attempt to provoke a response (commonly defined as Trolling). I don't think I really need to explain myself to you or anyone else, but I thought I'd provide a reason, so there you go.

Will climate change spell the end of RTW?

No, between the hot water I am always in with the monitors of the Hubb
and this fix, the next ice age doesn't bother me at all.

The inculcation of ideologies
Mainly referencing back to the discourse about education from about 4 weeks ago, but this article and the accompanying comments also reflect on cultural influences on personal views, opinions and belief systems leading to the adoption of ideologies (such as climate change alarmism).

Along the way the MSM, in the shape of Bloomberg in this particular case, are also in the spotlight of this article.

A turkish soldier is often the attribution.
Or Roman; I suppose it depends on who one listens too, much like the Climate Change business.

Apart from the earlier list of countries associated with St George, he is also commemorated annually in Mons, Belgium:

Well when you make crap up you can change it as you go, of course almost nobody would argue that he was indeed Syrian, read your link. He was also famous for slaying a Dragon
To go along with mote made up nonsense Jesus was an Arab, born to a child who was knocked up by a 40 year old man who had left his wife. You know, the only time in history a teenage girl hung out with a man in his 40s got knocked up and the world believed her. If the villagers with an IQ of a modern 4 year old were not fooled with the god nonsense she would have been stoned to death, as presented by the Middleastern God, you know, the one you want everyone to worship, cept when Muslims call him god in Arabic, then he is evil.

So to recap, white men hate the same brown men that share the same entities for worship, jesus and god, because they are, well brown, look and talk different. Why is that? Well apparently they do not worship right, cause you know there is a specific way to worship imaginary made up crap.

I gotta go, the tooth fairy is at the door and looking hot.

In a search for the truth about climate change I've turned to the bible for the answer.

I was somewhat surprised to read about Jesus' fondness for Hondas

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
