Politics › Re: Segun Dada Slams Kemi Badenoch Over Nigerian Citizenship Claim by budaatum: 1:33pm On Jul 23, 2025
With his usual gift for gentle understatement, Dominic Cummings has called Badenoch “lazy, brittle and delusional”.

“In many core areas of policy she doesn’t know what she’s talking about.”

Some of those who know her well, including those who once believed that she had something special, think the loss of confidence derives from a realisation that she is out of her depth.

Badenoch loves the party, but it no longer loves her. The briefings against her question her Britishness: they pick up on her habit of drinking warm Coke Zeroes, putting four sugars in her tea, buttering every item on her English breakfasts (apart from toast), condemning sandwiches as “not real food”. In their view, they are small but telling indicators that she does not belong in Britain. “The disloyalty is astonishing,” said a former staffer.

But her failure, ultimately, is one of competence. She has not improved over time because she cannot accept that she is ever wrong. “I never have gaffes,” she said once, in a comment destined to haunt her. “I never have to clarify, because I think very carefully about what I say.” The clip has been resurrected several times by members of Reform as they have moved past the Tories to become the unofficial opposition to Labour.

Obviouslyblunt:
china has high end products. China has low quality products.
You are the first to make a point relevant to my post here, so thank you very much.

Indeed, China makes both high end and low quality products. China is also the top manufacturing country in the world, with 31.6% of the total global manufacturing output, which they must be if they want to provide employment for their vast population. Second is USA with half that at 15.9% (their employment is mostly in the service industry), while India that has a comparable population to China is fifth at a paltry 2.9%, though being Nigerian I shouldn't deride them so.

Top Manufacturing Countries
China – 31.6% Global Manufacturing Output
United States – 15.9% Global Manufacturing Output
Japan – 6.5% Global Manufacturing Output
Germany – 4.8% Global Manufacturing Output
India – 2.9% Global Manufacturing Output
South Korea – 2.7% Global Manufacturing Output
Russia – 1.8% Global Manufacturing Output
Italy – 1.8% Global Manufacturing Output
Mexico – 1.7% Global Manufacturing Output
France – 1.6% Global Manufacturing Output

Health › Re: My Secret Of Treating Malaria by budaatum: 10:09pm On Jul 22, 2025
I prefer not to eat what causes typhoid, and eliminate malaria bearing parasites from feeding on me because prevention is better than cure.

On that note, and not typhoid and malaria related. I used to get sick when drinking water at my uncle's until I checked their water source and found it was from a well that had a soakaway on the other side of the wall in the neighbor's compound. Makes me fear an epidemic, as it's common for houses to indiscriminately build water sources not far enough away from their shǐt.

Typhoid

Typhoid is another bacterial infection that spreads through contaminated food and water. In the 19th century, it was caused by poor sanitation and lack of cleanliness, eg not washing hands and clothes.

It develops more slowly than cholera, but it can also be fatal. Between the 1830s and 1860s, typhoid claimed many lives across England and Wales, particularly among the poor. In London alone, there were 16,000 cases a year between 1838 and 1842.

During an outbreak of typhoid in Wales in 1882, 42 people died in Bangor. The clothes and bedding of the dead were burned, though this did nothing to end the outbreak. The local health board insisted that miasma were the reason for the outbreak. In fact, the cause was contaminated water from a farm, which entered the newly built reservoir that brought clean water to Bangor.

In 1884, the Typhus bacillus bacterium was identified. Since then, a combination of better sanitation and hygiene has reduced the risk of typhoid. However, there are still occasionally cases today.

By the end of the 19th century, knowledge of what caused disease and illness had improved considerably. Improvements under the public health acts, vaccination for diseases like
smallpox and better personal hygiene had helped to combat illness and disease. However, many problems remained.

No, that assumption is wrong. They're only Chinese if the company is owned by Chinese people. As far as the owners are Americans, they're American companies even if manufacture their products in China.
My contribution is not about ownership, but about where they make and produce what they make, which is in China, and which made me ask if they are "cheap low quality products".

Twenty-eight countries, including France, Belgium and the United Kingdom, issued a joint statement on Monday saying the war in Gaza "must end now" and Israel must comply with international law.

The foreign ministers representing the cosignatories said "the suffering of civilians in Gaza has reached new depths” and condemned “the drip feeding of aid and the inhumane killing of civilians, including children, seeking to meet their most basic needs of water and food."

"The Israeli government's denial of essential humanitarian assistance to the civilian population is unacceptable. Israel must comply with its obligations under international humanitarian law," it added.

Actually, the OP never used the term "Made in". Rather he used "Korean" and "Chinese", and that makes all the difference.
You've set up your own argument that "Neither Tesla nor Apple is Chinese", and would now have to argue it all by yourself since I you quoted never said "Tesla and Apples are Chinese"

In the very first line of the op is the word "produce". And my response was a question that has not been responded to.

The assumption is, if you produce something, you made it, which is why Iphones and Teslas made or produced in China will be labelled made in China (unless you'd like to argue otherwise, of course).

The weak Palestinians living in Israel are living a better life than the ones who are bringing stones to a gun fight.

They have been reduced to the stone age.
The Palestinians are not the ones who picked a fight with Israel. Hamas did. And Israel is reducing the entire Palestine to your stone age, though Israel's embargoes already ensured it was stone age before Hamas attacked, which some would argue is why Hamas attacked.

Thing is, not everyone is you who is afraid to die to protect what's yours from bullies. Some will die fighting for their rights instead of just handing their rights over to a bully. And that's why we have people like Mandela and Gandhi who are willing to sacrifice themselves for others, unlike you who'd just accept your oppression.

Neither Tesla nor Apple is Chinese. That they're produced in China doesn't automatically make them Chinese. Just the same way Samsung phones made in India or Vietnam don't mean they're Indian or Vietnamese.
Read the discussion from the beginning please. No one said Tesla and Apple are Chinese.

The argument is, not all products made in China, like iphones and teslas, are cheap low quality products, as the op implied.

Is this why Made in China Iphones and Teslas are cheap low quality pioneers?

I’ve already told you that if you know your chances of winning are 0%, what's the point of fighting? You’ll just end up losing your lunch and maybe a few teeth.

Instead of fighting, why not just hand over your lunch? It’s the same situation as being robbed at gunpoint by a couple of gunmen.

We’ve discussed this before. Look at Gaza; it’s been flattened. All of this is what I predicted about 4years ago.
Only weak people assume their chances of winning is zero. It is smart to stand up to bullies or you'll end up a slave to the bully.

Nakba has a masculine, cultural,historical and religious dimension
Don't you mind those Palestinians. They should get over the genocide inflicted on them by Israel. Instead they are listening to General buda who is funding them to fight back like they have not heard "To the winner go the spoils of war".

During the foundational events of the Nakba in 1948, approximately half of Palestine's predominantly Arab population, or around 750,000 people,[19] were expelled from their homes or made to flee through various violent means, at first by Zionist paramilitaries, and after the establishment of the State of Israel, by its military. Dozens of massacres targeted Palestinian Arabs and over 500 Arab-majority towns, villages, and urban neighborhoods were depopulated.[20] Many of the settlements were either completely destroyed or repopulated by Jews and given new Hebrew names.[20][21] Israel employed biological warfare against Palestinians by poisoning village wells. By the end of the war, 78% of the total land area of the former Mandatory Palestine was controlled by Israel.

You have to understand that you cannot fight a bully if you stand no chance of winning the fight. Give him your lunch and keep all your teeth. You can choose to fight and lose your lunch and your tooth.

The ones who choose not to fight are in parliament, living in Harmony in Israel.
This is what weak you would do, give up your lunch to the bully. If you were alive when Germany was bullying Europe, you'd roll over to save your teeth. Good thing though that not everyone is weak like you.

Some of value our freedom so much that we are willing to lose our teeth and our life for it and "shall not flag nor fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France and on the seas and oceans; we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air. We shall defend our island whatever the cost may be; we shall fight on beaches, landing grounds, in fields, in streets and on the hills. We shall never surrender and even if, which I do not for the moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, will carry on the struggle until in God's good time the New World with all its power and might, sets forth to the liberation and rescue of the Old".
