Wow, witching — where, which witches in Washington?
P
Kind of like Obama’s weird quasi-Christianity.
So all cultures are the same, eh? So let them all come in the USA and practice their barbarism?
Note to self: Never go to Papua, New or Old. lol
That fraud Jared Diamond has made a fortune selling a book to “nice” white libtards telling how the PNGs are in his opinion the world’s smartest people.
They are only doing as their holy book commands...

That’s one of their paper’s coverage.
well, we hanged people here in America. After a trial.
I’m glad for my 10 greats-grandmother’s sake that she was hanged, and not tortured and beaten and burned, although being confined in damp prison cell for months may have made up for some of that.

Papua must have a McWitches franchise.
I guess nobody knew where to find a duck.
They’re doing the work that Americans won’t do.
I got lots more info from that article than the ones printed domestically. Astounds me how these nations get a seat in a body like the UN or whatever organization of which there are many. Nobody believes in come back when you’re civilized?
