  1. It does not have to be this way. But it will be until people realize there are options beyond the one we have now. Yes... one A melancholic assessment of the state of US politics my friend ....pass the razor blades But under Obama the USA , apart from understandable drone strikes, tried very hard to stay out of the ME and other geographical hot spots of political and social instability But Trump has brought the USA back into the interminable struggles of the ME, thats on him
  2. This is my experience as well, I have heard the argument from feminists and gender equality activists around why opening doors for women can be seen as a negative but in RL I have never had anyone actually criticize me for doing it
  3. Dying Light, I am really enjoying it. Good Zombie killing
  4. Greetings Welcome to the forums Can I borrow money from you, maybe $2000 and I should be fine ?
  5. Unions in South Africa are both recalcitrant and intransigent, they have become a major stumbling block to address economic transformation They are stuck in some bizarre view where they still think its the 1980's where you ignore the P&L statement and just protest at the expense of the sustainability of the company. They are completely out of control and our government really needs to reign them in So yes you can imagine I do have an issue with SA trade unions
  6. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Terror_(TV_series) Guys this is a brilliant series and highly recommended if you haven't been watching it
  7. Now this is a man who appreciates the value of pageantry and ceremony Good on you sir !!!
  8. Nah, you cant really compare US celebrity culture weddings with the UK monarchy weddings but I know what you mean
  9. Well a lot of regular folk did get an invite due to their charity work, which is neat of them. It's a big deal for the CBC here, my mom and sister will probably have it on the TV but not a big deal - they have to put up with me watching the World Cup for example Very true, check this out http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-43254174
  10. Except this isnt fantasy, this is about the history of the UK and the UK Monarchy. Its very relevant and real to the UK Other than the entertainment factor, how is it relevant and real for anyone that is not a part of the royal family? Are you asking me what the UK Monarchy does for the UK because this wedding is a part of that for a number of reasons Here are a number of reasons why this wedding matters http://time.com/5037634/meghan-markle-engagement-prince-harry-groundbreaking/
  11. https://www.fool.com/investing/2017/04/22/this-opec-country-has-the-largest-proven-oil-reser.aspx Yes, it has the worlds largest proven oil supplies
  12. Except this isnt fantasy, this is about the history of the UK and the UK Monarchy. Its very relevant and real to the UK
  13. Wasn't that his brother? Yes that was Prince William married to Kate, they have 3 children now...cute little tykes
  14. Cuba has always been a economic failure, they espoused there own form of Socialism and claimed it was sustainable and works This was a lie and during the Cold War only funding from the USSR kept them financially salvageable When the Cold War ended anti-Western countries like Venezuela continued to keep Cuba going especially under Chavez, so this egregious latest oil deal is much of the same because Maduro needs Cuba to not collapse so he can keep playing the old " Capitalist countries are bad mkay and our systems of government really work" Its a disgrace but doesn't surprise me, Maduro is an appalling leader and doesn't seem concerned with the general welfare of his own people
  15. Its epic my son, its huge. Never forget the important role British Monarchy play in the UK
  16. https://www.yahoo.com/news/royal-wedding-2018-time-details-061347314.html So who else is planning on watching this grand day of pomp and ceremony? I plan to watch most of it...besides its hard to imagine Meghan Markle looking more beautiful than she normally does
  17. the SaveLucifer tag could possibly hit 666k tweets by midnight would love to see it picked up elsewhere, just not palm tree-less Vancouver ... Gentlemen, you do know this series is not based on a true person?
  18. He might be? But he is now making all the relevant decisions that I support as he is trying to change the conservative culture https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/21/world/middleeast/saudi-arabia-crown-prince-mohammed-bin-salman.html http://www.newsweek.com/saudi-royals-detained-ritz-carlton-are-being-forced-pay-their-freedom-714802
  19. They could launch an attack but it would be deemed a failure as the actual nuclear labs are literally in these mountain valleys or hidden tunnels http://foreignpolicy.com/2015/03/03/that-secret-iranian-nuclear-facility-you-just-found-not-so-much/
  20. Its funny, I have my DSTV and Netflix and Showtime so I have real choice But there are still series I cant find, like the Preacher
  21. Oh yes I meant to tell you, only the USA has a certain type of advanced bomber that can penetrate the mountain fortifications that the Iranians were hiding and developing nuclear kit So the involvement of the USA had to be part of any strategy to attack Iran and destroy there nuclear sites\training sites Thats why Israel never would attack on there own
  22. Okay yes I understand, I think the last season was okay ?
  23. So yes to be honest during the negotiations under Obama and even before the USA was constantly vilified and USA flags were burned This typically should have been addressed but it was the era of " middle east fatigue " so it was ignored. This obviously just emboldened Shia influence in the region. The one consolation is that now the USA will be welcomed and encouraged by its " friends " so at least the American forces will have proper bases But lets not kid ourselves, the USA will suffer loses as Iran will not be a pushover in the beginning. For me I still feel Trump has been manipulated through his own ignorance and desire for recognition Do you think this new war really worth it?
  24. Have you watched the new season of American Horror Story, my DSTV was connecting intermittently so I have to wait for a few weeks for the season to rerun
