  1. Please tell me we not suggesting Venezuela is your example of a well run Socialist country? Dont citizens have to want to live in country, the economy can't collapse and their shouldn't be tens of thousands of people immigrating before we sing the praises of any government ?
  2. No its not that we overlook that fact, we just dont care about the Communists\socialists
  3. But that sounds perfectly reasonable,that is exactly what I have always thought was why people get detained. You dont get detained if you have papers and enter legally ?
  4. We have had this debate before around what should we call the Oz immigrant detention camps but you weren't online at the time, as far as I remember, so your opinion would be appreciated. I am one of those people who has a problem when societies use words to describe things in the wrong way or context, I feel the correct definition should be used to describe things because it reduces hyperbole and grandstanding when we discuss these events and reflect on them. But I am sometimes wrong in these debates, for example after reading Amenteps post about 6 January violence I did some further research and realized I was wrong. It can be called an insurrection and I will make a specific post about this But back to this debate, I dont think its accurate to refer to the Oz detention camps concentration camps anymore than its correct to call the ICE immigrant detention camps in the US concentration camps. This is the definition of a concentration camp https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internment and to quote from the link The term "concentration camp" or "internment camp" is used to refer to a variety of systems that greatly differ in their severity, mortality rate, and architecture; their defining characteristic is that inmates are held outside the rule of law.[6] Extermination camps or death camps, whose primary purpose is killing, are also imprecisely referred to as "concentration camps". But this is what the Oz immigrant detention camps are ( Im just using wiki for convenience ) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_immigration_detention_facilities Do you really believe the Oz detention camps operate completely outside the rule of law because only people trying to enter Oz illegally get detained, isn't that using the rule of law in the first place ?
  5. Malc did you get out of the wrong side of bed this morning, why you so mad?
  6. https://www.newsweek.com/police-pepper-spray-novak-djokovic-supporters-chaotic-scenes-tennis-australian-open-1667389 @Gorth and @Chairchucker I can only imagine how outraged you guys must be with this egregious excessive force used by the Oz police...they used pepper spray to subdue innocent and peaceful protestors !!! Will you guys be protesting everyday to demand these police are arrested
  7. Did you watch the interview with his family, they made some good points
  8. You make some good points and some are convincing, I need time to think about
  9. It looks like Novak will be able to play, I hope so
  10. Look at you girlfriend, you little Windows registry hacker
  11. Very French choice Coq au vin, I love it and its relatively simple to make once you have all the ingredients prepared Its good to see you dont reject foreign food in the interests of US patriotism This is a recipe similar to how I have made it https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/coq-au-vin-recipe4-2011654
  12. Yes you did raise serious concerns with the motives of Sinema, strange thing is she doesnt come up as much as Manchin on the likes of CNN so I know very little about her outside of what is commonly known
  13. Great way to start the week with my favorite hottie on the right, nothing like humor to make political points. Their facial expressions and imitations of accents is a huge part of the humor, like when they both say " a hung parliament " You can see the obvious problem with the Oz political system, you guys need to get more candidates like them in your system !!! I see they work for the Juice Media and the girls are both actors amongst other skills , https://www.thejuicemedia.com/about/ Small company but making some good points
  14. The definition of an insurrection says it can succeed or fail but I am making a different point An insurrection has by its definition an objective that is achievable, the violent mob had no objective to stop Biden becoming president, how? Even if they killed dozens of senators I am sure Biden is still president while they reorganize the event. And the event will be held again but heavily guarded and Biden would be officially president So my question is still unanswered and that is " what was the objective that would have somehow stopped Biden becoming president "
  15. its a valid question, a game as large as this will be updated with new code in several of the assets and these have conditions that need to be verified still work properly. Meaning an update can break any game if not tested properly And Im sure all of us can understand that CDPR dont want another gaming stability scandal like the Cyb release problems
  16. Comrade how much time did you spend on DY1 ?
  17. I dont know if I told you but I have always had an interest in this game and played it in the early days of year 1 I looked now at it on Steam and its looking good, how would you describe it from a new features game and are how the activities you can do to survive And does it have 1 server for all players ?
  18. Comrade dont forget Dying Light 2 and I was really surprised how many regular members said they wont be playing it....its my best Zombie killing game of all time and I have played lots of them like Dead Island, Dead State
  19. Its not a very nice view of his realities to want to read....its full of virus hour updates. Its honestly the last thing I want to read about
  20. And you still want to call it an insurrect, like insurrection? It was a violent riot with definite right wing influence? Comrade can I share something important with you I learnt in the school of white, male privilege and neo-colonialism....Im not suppose to share this type of knowledge but I dont think anyone will know? You taught certain rules and proven realities of how to become effective and leave a good legacy. But you must never create a definition that can be used against you, rather wait unless you are 100% sure this was a insurrection
  21. Hopefully its quality and enjoyment wont be rushed, the DA franchise is a big part of the Bioware future so I hope they deliver for all of us
  22. Interesting, its disappointing he might not play because I think most people outside of Oz arent that concerned he hasn't been vaccinated. Even if he may have the virus its not like he can create a wave because of the high level of vaccination ....I feel this decision is technically about the Oz rules but I also think its an overreaction SA is 34% so you guys are way ahead of us. We have hit a wall with trying to convince people about the efficacy of vaccines but life is returning to normal and all businesses and places like clubs are open and we have no more curfews but mask wearing is mandatory Is Serbia going to move beyond 50 % because for me I think in our countries we must learn to live with the virus and all you can do is get double vaccinated and then boosters in 6-8 months? Is life returning to normal in Serbia generally ?
