  1. That made me laugh (in humor, not at you) so I tried to Google it up, to no success. Link? Nah, not an actual Trump quote, as far as I know. It's a zinger from some late night show that made me laugh as well. Sorry for the confusion. edit: yes! I am literally a nazi, as well as literally a militant SJW type. Now it all makes perfect sense... in bizarro land. edit 2: found it. By the way, we actually have some experience with putting up physical obstacles along the border to curb illegal immigration, on a much smaller and more manageable scale. Long story short, it doesn't work unless you are willing to use deadly force as a matter of course. It generally results in both immigrants and enforcers getting injured, for little gain. I have to agree with volo that the primary issues with most failed or failing countries are internal problems or flawed economic and political polices This causes and creates benighted and failed government institutions and most countries fail so many citizens of these countries have to leave to find a better life Isn't a valid one to grant it. I forget how literal and specific I need to be. Besides originally gang and domestic violence were the types considered. Yes but we consider you white now...I would say you are very integrated into Canadian culture.. Welcome to the family.....you need to study the long and detailed history of Colonism so you know how many countries and cultures you have impacted or eroded or looted from
  2. So whats the real intention of these "refugees"? Thats one of my broader points, the actual refugees are legitimate but ostensibly there seems to be a insidious attempt to undermine and create negative attention on the USA through this appalling caravan debacle ...the good news is that Trump will be seen as the primary antagonist in this and will always be blamed outside the USA which means most Americans who travel wont or shouldn't be treated in a negative way So for me if this caravan is allowed in, which is the real objective, then you open the immigrant floodgates and then we will have real issues as thousands more will come to the USA expecting to become citizens or at least create some wealth? Some people will dismiss this as fear mongering or just extreme rhetoric against immigrants but in both the EU and South Africa we were told to just allow a small number into our country and now both places are facing real social and financial pressures...and there are millions more immigrants than ever was agreed And no one has ever offered to help SA ....even the dysfunctional African Union which lectures us in SA about not being nasty to other African people @ Gfted1 and other US members My advice is dont trust anyone who says " lets allow them in and then deal with them "' Sadly people blatantly lie and misrepresent the truth just to address the immediate problem and then aren't prepared to help with the problem. So it has become a major financial problem for SA apart from the resources and housing being utilized illegally I
  3. At least some people have lost interest, you notice the spurious example of this caravan was mentioned " The caravan originated in that country as many are trying to flee its pervasive poverty and violence "
  4. volo you have made a very good suggestion, the entire caravan needs to be rerouted to Canada. Its not like you guys have a real issue with immigrants and there is plenty of room in the mountains. But the financing of this idea needs to be agreed on as I dont see why the USA or Canada need to burdened ...let the governments where the immigrants come from pay?
  5. True dat. The interweb tells me that we accept ~20000 asylum seekers per year. The migrant convey is estimated anywhere between 7-14k. Its November already so most of the initial 20k are probably used up. If I were one of them I would pick up the pace and try to get to the head of the line. As far as I can tell (I read to the second paragraph) US asylum seekers need to meet one of three basic criteria. Living in a s**thole doesn't seem to make the cut. Its important to not conflate issues when it comes to these types of potential human rights disasters For example why anyone would think after all the anti-immigration rhetoric and developments on the border that this caravan is a good idea or would ever be allowed in? You cannot expect Trump to not act in a way that will be hopefully effective but not create unnecessary global attention that would be very critical of the USA like when children were split from families But whoever initiated this calamitous caravan is responsible for the outcome, it gets draining when you see the caravan people getting interviewed and they say things like " all we want is a better life, we come from countries that have high levels of crime and no economic future........" And why must this now mean the USA needs to absorb the failures of governments in the region? In SA we get told we have to just accept millions of illegal refugees as " the African diaspora is an important part of the African Union and we need to welcome our fellow African family"....except there is only one movement of refugees, into SA And to add to this we have to provide "alternate housing " if anyone is evicted from squatting illegally, can you imagine that https://ewn.co.za/2017/10/19/joburg-mayor-heading-to-court-over-deportation-of-illegal-immigrants
  6. I have played all the Risen games and I loved them, the underlying RPG mechanics are similar to Gothic but not as harsh Piranha Bytes designs games with that sandbox world but where you are always presented with different factions that ultimatley you need to join and align with one So yes I recommend Risen
  7. I don't think any forum guests should ever take this forum or its members too seriously Oh wait, I agreed with you and said something obtrusive so now I'm probably going to be called your secondary account haha! The forum logic demonstrated on forums like this is what makes us come back for more, it's truly entertaining at the least. Yes apparently you and I are the same person News to us of course but " great minds think alike " is all I can say

  9. More like Red Bruce and Red Bruce 2. "Oh, you guys know I'm Blue, but this Red argument is so reasonable!" Yeah I don't see how you can consider Bruce left if you've read beyond his slavish support for Hillary. SonicMage seems like a boomer who wandered in from facebook, so I guess the guy behind Bruce is keeping his alts relevant for our times. You guys are funny, I have no idea what you talking about or even if you being serious but it made me laugh
  10. I just like her, I always have. She has been excellent for Germany and the EU generally Yes she made a mistake with the immigrants and her support for that doomed policy has cost her politically but a few mistakes cant negate all the positive she did
  11. volo thats nosense, the Democrats are not anti-semitic ...where is your evidence? Having mixed views on the Israel\Palestanian conflict is normal...not anti-semitism But more depressing news, I see Merkel wont stay on after 2021 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/oct/29/angela-merkel-wont-seek-re-election-as-cdu-party-leader
  12. I am so frustrated as my ADSL is still down due to a cable problem in the local exchange ....hopefully this will be resolved by COB today
  13. Nice review, it convinced me to buy this game as I have been reading about it I also will be buying the new Witcher game tomorrow....yay I cant wait as I have my new gaming PC but on Thursday night the switch at my ADSL exchange crashed so I havent played anything yet but this should be resolved tomorrow ..hopefully
  14. Yeah it is old but still very working strategy of fighting evil by supporting bigger evil Elerond what do you think of the whole Saudi\USA relationship ?
  15. I remember when I use to be compared to Oby....that was hilarious
  16. Excellent question but before I respond how do you see the Saudi\USA relationship? Please include as much details as possible because there are different views people have on Saudi Arabia
  17. No the Saudi and USA relationship is much more nuanced, historical and significant than just this incident The best way to see this is to not focus on these terrible mistakes but rather the important role that Saudi Arabia needs to play in the broader ME and future stability for the region.
  18. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2018/10/17/mexican-government-sends-federal-police-stop-caravan-u-s-bound-migrants/1674954002/ This illegal mass movement to the USA is really unacceptable, I hope this gets stopped before getting to the USA border What do these people expect ? Surly it must be obvious this cannot be normal?
  19. Im loving mine, I have never had such a quick rig as this, I cant wait till I start gaming
  20. Yes https://www.wootware.co.za/msi-geforce-rtx-2080-ti-gaming-x-trio-11gb-gddr6-352-bit-pci-e-3-0-desktop-graphics-card.html I forgot you are graphic card expert, I have just started loading apps and configuring settings and its very quick Can you or others comment on the below What would be considered very graphic extensive games so I test it What can I use for benchmark settings to run analysis ...maybe generate a report and I will use Performance Monitor if I have to
  21. https://www.gog.com/game/thronebreaker_the_witcher_tales Probably old news but I have already ordered this one
  22. I was setting up my rig today but I need a specific plug for my new monitor, I will sort that out tomorrow and hopefully tomorrow it will be complete
  23. You know I always support the Dems on most issues but this whole constant almost irrational view of how Trump is always bad or racist or somehow is going to destroy the USA gets repetitive and unconvincing Trump needs to fulfill some important foreign objectives that for various reasons I am also now bound, for example the USA needs to decisively deal with Iran so we can have stability in the ME....yes there is finally one faction that I am aligned with or rather my cousins in the UK are now deeply invested in some hedge funds who also support the most unlikely alliance of the USA, Israel and Saudi Arabia I have traveled 3 times to Saudi Arabia in the last 2 months and this is the best overall approach to achieve a better ME...I never wanted the USA to ever get involved in the ME again because there efforts and sacrifice are never appreciated but events have now made the USA inextricably committed to another military campaign so we should now support this decision @ GD, do you think the Dems will be that successful, its not definite to even the ardent Dem strategists you see on CNN but there is some evidence they could do well? Shame I like Khanye, he isnt really considered an intellectual but he should be allowed to support Trump as he does have some reasons I think Kim is smoking hot but Nicki Minaj is still my favorite, she is a perfect example of if I could I would happily pay for a good date...no doubt
  24. Im picking up my new rig tomorrow, its going to be an epic gaming monster and Im super excited
  25. volo these things are complicated, they must be analyzed with nuance and objectivity and then only commented on with finesse and decorum
