That would be appropriate justice for identity theft...now the really interesting question is would the identity thief pay off any debt , I doubt it

Gorthfuscious lets not use such reductive words as " spied " and " toppled ", they tend to frame this debate in a negative light Rather see this as making the world safer, dont you want to live in a safe world ? Trump was very rude to cancel his Denmark trip, really unacceptable presidential behavior

No I think you misunderstand me, I am talking about the necessary implementation of enhanced Cybersecuity to ensure countries like the USA are safe from the real threat of Cyber-terrorism, Cyber- espionage and Cyber-warfare. These threats are real and you need complicated ways to address these, like Prism, this doesnt apply to smaller forms of phone malware and other software threats that do get replicated and duplicated in many examples of Cyber warfare. You cannot mimic or copy the complexity and ability of Prism and this is a good thing. So in summary we need all companies to work with government in most cases to ensure a better and more stable world, backdoor access to all devices can be controlled by institutions like the NSA, they already have backdoor access to most other industries so why be obstructive over something like this

For me the more important concern is that companies shouldn't be finding ways to prevent the Federal government from accessing data when needed or when the courts allow it, companies like Apple need to work with the Federal government and not find ways to be obstructive

You seem to be not commenting on the most significant part of the series, the hot Russian blond ...did you find her...hot ? Its okay you can be honest, you amongst friends Interestingly enough I found the family drama aspect of the series with the hot Russian more nuanced and complex and what was particularly surprising as a plot development

I apologize, I keep forgetting you new to these forums but you remind me of another member who use to live in Poland who knew me Many things in life are irrefutable and would be considered statements of fact, for example The earth rotates on its axis and revolves around the sun All matter is made of subatomic particles The sun will rise tomorrow Trump won the 2016 election in the USA Occasionally I will use the words " I promise" or " its irrefutable ", you dont need to question this just consider this fact. So in other words any BruceVC " I promise " is golden and you can guarantee its authenticity. Unfortunately I cannot post the links to confirm this as sometimes my sources are confidential Always remember that the majority of conspiracy theories cannot be proven ever and are based on a combination of truth and utter conjecture .....I always encourage people not to believe them or to use them for any basis of understanding of any event when the facts can be easily understood

Im not sure if you joking, there is no conspiracy theory here GD. Epstein committed suicide because he was utterly disgraced, mentally unstable and faced 45 years in jail..I would have done the same. This was his second attempt to kill himself, I promise you the Democrats didnt do it

Today I went with some friends and family to the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, it was my first time and it was amazing. We had a picnic with wine, cheese and other delicious snacks The weather in CPT during winter is traditionally bad but today it was sunny and perfect, these gardens are about 2.1 square miles in size and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It has hundreds of species of birds, small animals and thousands of types of indigenous plants. There are also many walks and hiking trails you can go if you just want to explore the sites and beauty. I will be definitely coming back to participate in the hiking aspects. Here is good site that also highlights the tree canopy walks you can go on https://www.capetown.travel/relax-on-the-lawns-of-cape-towns-prettiest-garden/

Interesting post, nice one

I enjoyed it, I watched to the end and there is definitely something about it that kept me captivated Its not just the alien conspiracy but the other characters themes that are interwoven into the general story. Like the hot Russian blond and what she is up to

I started watching Project Blue Book, its based on true events in the 1950's in the USA where the government started investigating the phenomena of UFO sightings and the mass hysteria that gripped the country The directors of course do add some artistic license into the narrative so there is the " real " hidden UFO presence that each episode unpacks. Its very entertaining and reminds me of X-Files for those that enjoyed that type of genre

Lets ban any anti-Western sentiment and we immediately deport anyone who is not a patriot....problem solved

Today is National Women's Day in South Africa where we celebrate the important role women play in society Its a day of reflection and where we recognize the women in our lives, its a good day for many reasons ....but also because its a public holiday, yaaaaaaaaaaay Thanks ladies for the holiday, you rock

Geez GD, I wouldnt want you to impact and harm your quality of life too much in your well meaning objective of " cutting the umbilical cord of being connected " ... You have clearly made some serious steps in discontinuing DirecTV but now you only have access to pirate bay, live streaming, gaming, online gaming, Hulu, Amazon, HBO and Netflix...Im concerned you are not going to survive by removing yourself from all access to the digital world ....dont be a hater

I am nearing the end of this series and its still brilliant but I have to say Roger Ailes really had some serious mental issues, controversial views and insecurities You talk about creating a toxic work environment, that is if the series is to be believed and from my research its based on the reality

That indeed would be a complicated and deep debate ....one of those debates I enjoy having when Im stoned

I dont buy this notion of a " puppeteer " surreptitiously controlling society, governments are elected through transparent and free and fair elections in most Democracies You make a choice which political party you want to vote for based on there policies and there successful and or reasonable implementation of these policies.....if you dont like your choice then you can vote for someone else Most other things that define our societies are enshrined in Constitutions, the rule of law and order and are impacted by policies that sometimes work and sometimes fail. But there is no great secret or cover-up around how these things work or should work....there are no " puppet masters " unless someone can give me practical examples of who these people and organisations are ?

This week one of brothers and his family is down from Durban, so tonight we all going to this steakhouse that apparently makes delicious ribs..Im very excited as I love ribs and Im always ready to try another recommendation https://www.hussargrill.co.za/find-us/western-cape/mouille-point/ Then I have to work on a tender response which is going to take most of the weekend so I dont see myself doing much except for that

I think the best way to guarantee that quality of life is indeed taxes but not on the rich...thats so ...2010-2016ish and outdated nowadays. We need to find new tax targets You should heavily tax anyone who is in the country illegally, you dont deport anyone but you tax them. That way you will help motivate people to become citizens legally. So its a win win for everyone

I dont know much about Jazz but this looks great, I would definitely buy a ticket for a day

I was at my favorite local bar last night where I generally meet people because I tend to talk to people at the bar and people are really friendly in this area in Cpt Anyway I met a couple who were from the Netherlands, they were on there last day in SA after a 1 month holiday in SA. But what nice people., we really connected and it was not just the copious alcohol. The guy works in spacial planning and once he explained why its relevant in the Netherlands it made such sense, what an interesting career His girlfriend is a journalist and came from a village that has only 200 people, she told me she use to cycle 20 km each day to school She also had the most stunning blue eyes. One of the topics we discussed was " what is considered national food " in our countries. They claimed Netherlands doesnt have a real local food, they mentioned some sort of meatballs...is this true from what you know? What would be considered Dutch authentic food ?

Elerond !!! Stop being naughty ..why you spreading gossip and fear mongering? You cannot refer to these " camps " as " concentration camps " , that's a completely unnecessary characterization of the purpose of these camps and it adds to the problem of how to address reasonable border control because now some people tend to focus on the apparent purpose and conditions of legal interment centers and not the reason they actually exist. We need to refer to them with the correct name., they called detention camps or refugee camps This is not even really about Trump or the USA border but its currently being played out in the USA and Trump has used certain parts of this problem for political expediency and to galvanize his base around issues that ostensibly matter to them. This is about a much broader global issue and quite simply its an important question we need to address and find consensus on...what is the question you may ask? " Do countries have a right to stop and or detain economic and political refugees who arrive illegally on there border , " Opinions will differ, my view is " absolutely yes, " and it should become critical that all countries follow this rule as you will create a very dangerous precedent if the criteria for legal entry is simply " you arrive at the country you want to immigrate do and you just need to come from a valid country that has some sort of economic or social crisis where there are no jobs or sustainable future for the citizens " It cannot be a reasonable objective that any country should feel it has to integrate the failures of other countries problems or issues as far as there own citizens are concerned You must remember what happened in the EU around the initial Syrian refugee offer and what Germany intended as a well meaning gesture? Merkel said " we will take in 1.5 million Syrian refugees" ....thats what she said and what was expected But what actually happened is suddenly millions of people from other countries assumed they could just arrive in the EU and somehow be integrated. This created huge and real problems for the whole EU and it still has not been resolved South Africa faces a similar problem but its impact is must worse for us because we are not a first world country and simply cannot absorb millions of people from failed countries Also the rest of the world when faced with mass immigration doesnt do what is expected from the USA and the EU, other countries setup permanent refugee camps where illegal immigrants can be confined and live safely...but they not just automatically made citizens or accepted because all countries have limited resources and this has to be understood https://africa-facts.org/africas-biggest-refugee-camps/ http://www.refugeecouncilusa.org/the-7-largest-refugee-camps-in-the-world/ https://www.irishtimes.com/news/world/middle-east/inside-the-world-s-largest-camp-for-syrian-refugees-1.3018821 So in summary, we must try very hard to not see examples of the conditions of the USA camps as the actual problem. They not, they simply a symptomatic outcome of the real problem. Why are people arriving illegally in certain counties and assuming this means they must be accpeted into that country ?

I went for drinks with a lady friend to celebrate the end of a good week at work and she suggested we go to this new Korean restaurant , it was a really great dining experience because the theme of the restaurant is everything you order comes in relatively small portions but you cook everything yourself on a personal grill in the middle of the table. Also great variety of unusual good, I ordered Zebra and Wildebeest as part of meals http://galbi.co.za/

Geeeeeeez Azdeus, you Swedes are hardcore Capitalists...not everything is about money you know

But you get free coffee, thats a HUGE company perk. Its better than getting money because now you dont have to pay for the coffee
