What pseudo-historical view is this...I have to say there are some very odd theories I have heard about the history of mankind and the hegemony of this race over that race and most of it is unhelpful and just creates unnecessary invective

Here is an excellent version of Amazing Grace, very cool

Over the last several years I have had so many debates about racism and what it means and also who can be racist, these debates are always framed around the history of SA and Apartheid but I now realize the topics are not dissimilar to debates in the USA and other countries I have changed my view on certain things through the years and learnt some pertinent things SA is both a good and bad example of the debate around racial dichotomy, yes we are in some ways very naive which is to be expected due to the 50 years of Apartheid which isolated SA and created a false environment around what people in my country think about certain topics...for example can black people be racist never underestimate the importance and privildege of education populism can lead to governments making illogical decisions based on fake news...as in very bad decisions the history of colonialism in the African continent is misunderstood I have seen what happens to white people wracked by guilt thinking that agreeing with a negative view of white people is the only way most black people will engage...its not true of course. The truth exaplined in a reasonable way is what most people want to know

I also only lasted to the second video, I started to feel uncomfortable with his characterizations and assumptions I find it hard to believe you found it so insightful.....it started getting tiresome very quickly

I cannot blame any casino for being the cause of gambling addiction or someone losing their life savings even though I have seen this first hand because its about decision and consequence. People have got to take some sense of responsibility for not going into a casino if you know you cannot trust yourself gambling Remember a gambling addiction is a sickness like any other addiction and there are several ways to avoid gambling in casinos.....what they teach you on day 1 at these gambling anonymous meetings is you MUST avoid all and any gambling institutions. This is the beginning of a series of steps you need to take to not feed the gambling addiction This should be obvious yet people ignore this and relapse ....any of these very helpful organisations like AA or Narcotics Anonymous also understand people relapse and this is part of the process of recovery. They dont judge you but you need to start the various steps again. Take a look at there website and see the various 12 steps people follow on the path to gambling addiction http://www.gamblersanonymous.org/ga/node/1

I dont believe casino's cheat, I go to large and international casinos like MonteCasino...its got shops and banks and movies and several gambling floors but the entire casino is legally allowed to provide legal gambling? https://www.tsogosun.com/montecasino

Yes thats a safe bet I would also take Considering you were adamant about betting on Clinton I would take that bet. How is 25.000 $ sound like? Yes I did expect Hilary to win but I dont think I offered any bets on it, I do gamble but that's in a controlled environment like a casino This is important to me because I want to be assured I can effectively claim any money I may win, I don't want to hear " sorry I dont have the 25k " So lets say we take this bet what guarantee can you give me I will get this 25k from you if I win and how can you show me you have this 25k. You may think Im being rude but you cant just take a bet on this amount and expect people to automatically believe you being serious ?

Yes thats a safe bet I would also take

Its progressive psytrance for those that like the trance genre

Yes I agree to some of what you say and yes work needs to be done to reduce the unnecessary aggression, jingoism and interference from Russia in other countries affairs and elections But we dont want to even entertain the notion of war with Russia, we can resolve our ideological differences without some interminable and unwinnable actual war Sanctions need to be increased and Russia must stop its illegal activities like the cyberwarfare

I had my lady friend from the strip club come over yesterday and we chilled, drank, smoked weed and just watched DSTV. Her name is Candice so that is how I will refer to her from now on She wasn't working so we both agreed this weekend would be a good time to just get to know each after the last raucous party.We had a good time and both got to know each other much better So I am looking forward to seeing her when she doesnt have to work I made a Cheese fondue for us, I made a different variety from the Fondue Neuchatel ...the recipe below is how they made typically in Switzerland http://www.food.com/recipe/neuchatel-style-cheese-fondue-108101 So I made a Rose Fondue, different because of the red wine http://ifood.tv/cheese/255722-rose-fondue It was nice but I prefer dry white wine as the main liquid base

Gym and a routine must become a lifestyle choice, if you not committed and make these types of excuses then rather not go I have been making excuses to go to gym the last 6 months but started last week but I injured my muscle while rowing. I have been in such pain but its getting better now so maybe I'll take 1 week off Next time I intend to warm up properly I would say one can benefit greatly from a workout even if it's just once or twice a week compared to nothing. That's about the extent I can muster. I'm not one of those lifestyle people. I only go because I want to, that's not an excuse, and then the one near me closed and... now it's starting to sound like an excuse isn't it. I think you are being honest about real obstacles, I do the same thing .....especially the last 4 months when I literally found and used mostly valid reasons for not training. I packed my gym bag everyday in my car yet at 6 pm on the way home I always ended up taking a road away from one of the 3 Virgin Active gyms in my area.... I have nationwide Virgin access so that means I can train at any Virgin the country. But I always had similar reasons like I had a work deadline I had a dinner date or had to cook dinner for friends or family traffic Customer engagement Bar or club drinks Insatiable desire to go somewhere or do something urgently i came to realize after avoiding Gym for 4 months I stopped saying I couldnt go and after 2 months of not going I now am going to gym with no excuses, of course I need my injury to heal so I week of further rest

That would mean your actions and decisions aren't your own, in other words you arent responsible for either what you do or what you think...and that includes the outcome Consider that for a second and think of what it could mean? Would it even make a difference? I mean, we couldn't ever know for sure. So would it make a difference? It would matter hugely to many people who now could commit any crime or wrongdoing and then claim its " fatalism ". Bennie are you really going to suggest you wouldnt have some kind of breakdown and break the law ? In WW1 fatalsim became the religion in the trenches due to the appalling and incomprehensible slaughter in the trenches http://www.warmuseum.ca/firstworldwar/history/life-at-the-front/trench-conditions/faith-and-fatalism/ https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/oct/30/fatalist-at-war-first-world-war-diaries-german-soldier-rudolf-binding

volo I still cant believe you live in the mountains without electricity, I was watching this episode of Mountain Men and man those guys are tough

" fatty "

GB wouldn't you also agree its because we get access to forums like this where random strangers who dont even live in our own countries help to change and improve our views on politics and SJ issues ?

Ah, I see. I envy you. Physical attraction is more of a burden that anything else. Well, if you find a shemale arousing, then it suggests that you would be willing to sleep with anyone as long as they are attractive enough, regardless of which sexual organ is between their legs Guys who identify as "straight" sometimes watch shemale porn, which kind of supports the Kinsey Scale theory, in that they're a little flexible. My best friend believes that anyone can be attracted and have a physical relationship or "one night stand " with a man or a women So he believes in the principle that people are naturally bisexual as that is his personal experience and what he has done. He is happily married but stands by this I have never been convinced because surely you have to have some deeper physical attraction to the same sex to do this? So I cant say if my friend is right because I have never experienced this in the same way he has

Look, I agree, without hard data (and how can you even measure something like this?), its all just armchair philosophy. But let me ask you this (and I apologize for the crudeness of the question but...) have you ever watched/enjoyed shemale porn? I have watched loads of heteoesxual porn but not shemale porn, I am interested where you going with this point?

Its often a very different reason why you see women kissing other women, the question " does this mean that woman is lesbian " isnt the same as 2 guys kissing which in most cases highlights the fact they are gay

Shame do you miss oby, I miss him slightly....but very slightly

What do you mean when you say "its a lie .... " ? Are you saying being gay is a choice? As I understand him, he says the following: Men are naturally straight, however, they might be insecure about approaching the opposite sex, and therefore they turn to homosexuality as an "easy solution". Mind you, his opinion, not mine. Bruce, I understand you have been active with the queers (at least that's how I took it from the thread I linked...). What is your opinion on how sexuality evolves? The way I understand it, is that it is a mixture of genetics, hormones and social factors (I especially take interest in the latter... I hope he isn't suggesting what you saying...that would be ridiculous and lacks any real understanding of homosexuality Yes I am very active around support for the LGBT community and have gay friends. There are 2 main reasons people are gay, most gay people are born this way. They can no more change there sexual orientation than a person can change there race Then is a small percentage of gay people who can become gay through abuse, of course this is rare and Im not in anyway suggesting the majority of abused children will become gay or would become paedophiles themselves
