There's ONE version of that song I like - by the Muppets with Spike Milligan.

I almost included Bobby McFerrin in the nominees. I quite liked Wilder but I can see how it could be annoying if overplayed. I've forgiven Fred because I've always been close to my sister and she liked that song (I've never known why).

During apartheid, black men who spoke out "disappeared", many were found on the pavement outside tall government buildings afterward having "fallen". Black women and girls were kidnapped and raped by white police.At least in modern South Africa, although lawless, it's not the POLICE who are brutalizing whites. They're just overwhelmed by a wave of justifiably angry Africans exacting revenge. The anger is justifiable, the revenge isn't but that's the pendulum effect.  

THE ANSWERMUG CHALLENGE SERIES - Most annoying song of all time?

It is NOT Canada's fault nor Canada's problem, so let's stop  the Trumpian BS, all right?Canada's quota system hasn't been exceeded since Trump HIMSELF signed off on USMCA. Ergo there wasn't a single tariff on anything from the US in five years. His deal. Signed by him.Trump doesn't like Canada because Trudeau is far better looking than he is (not difficult, His Royal Orangeness has less sex appeal than an airplane crash) and Melania flirted with him when they visited Canada. No suggestion of marital infidelity on her part (unlike Trump who boinked a porn star while M was giving birth to his son), but she did flirt playfully and her husband decided he needed to engage in a metaphorical d**k measuring contest (his Mario Kart mushroom would lose a real one).

The gov doesn't run them, or control stock other than preventing the sale of liquor that is more than 50% ABV (JD and most commercial spirits are between 35 and 40). Liquor licensing is mostly to ensure that nobody is avoiding the excise (taxes on alcohol are levied everywhere, including the USA), and also to ensure that the drinks are fit for consumption and not sold to minors (u18 in most places, u21 in the US). In places where the trade is unregulated  (or the regulations aren't policed), people die - like the two young Australian women who were poisoned by tainted liquor in Laos recently. We license the sale of liquor in Australia too, but it's run but the state governments rather than the Federal which is why the rules vary from State to State - they're quite different in NSW, where I lived for the first 20 years of my life, from SA where I live now.The Canadian stores are pulling JD, Beam and other US brands because Canadians stopped buying them.

Yet. If His Royal Orangeness decides to get even nastier, the Canadians can put the price up. Or cut you off entirely, but that won't happen unless Congress decides to accede to his wish to make Canada "the 51st state" and declares war.

Just about nobody will having a vacation in the US (the tourism sector is already screaming about mass cancellations) and they're refusing to buy "Made in USA". Liquor stores are pulling Jack Daniel's from the shelves because they can't move it.  

Plenty of physical evidence for Tiberius too. Several of the buildings he commissioned are still standing, if in ruins.

And cancelled the lease on the weather tracking radar facility. On the eve of tornado season. WHEN, not if, people are killed by twisters they weren't warned about, that's third degree murder.

Manatees should be protected in any case, they're threatened. If the US economy depends on flamethrowers, how did they get to be an economic superpower? This is Canada taking the p!ss.

Outside of the Bible, there's Josephus but very little else. Julius Caesar has physical evidence, dozens of coins stamped with his likeness still exist.

"Antiquities of the Jews" has been heavily and at times clumsily redacted by generations of Christian scribes, but removing all references to the "Galilean healer" makes an unreadable mess of Josephus' account of the fourth decade before the destruction of the Temple - an historically verifiable event with a known date.Essene mystics weren't exactly rare in the first century CE either. Yeshua was one of several.  

Another one was recently shot by Illinois police - pulled a piece when stopped for driving erratically (DUI). Thugs are thugs, none of them should have been pardoned.

Half a billion dollars worth of food is spoling in US warehouses thanks to USAID being cancelled, the hungry who were going to get it won't. Musk inherited his starting capital from his father who absolutely exploited black children in apartheid-era South Africa, that's verifiable fact. Much like Trump's grandfather exploited poor women, his fortune was made running brothels - a pimp. Trump's father invested that in building filthy, substandard, not up to code, rat-infested tenements - a slum landlord exploiting those who couldn't afford better accommodation elsewhere.  less
