I do see a way around this, just declare being unemployed as illegal with the punishment being indentured servitude or some such. I appreciate your feedback, you very consistent like that I must have mentioned this on this forum about 10-15 times but people still question the veracity of my comments it appears, I dont troll in the sense you guys define trolling. If I ask a question about something I dont understand then I honestly dont understand the point people are making so thanks again for your explanation But it still is confusing, why are we mentioning slavery? Slavery ended in the USA in the 1860's, are people suggesting because the UBI has been abandoned now workers will be treated like slaves ? The entire point makes no sense....so I must be missing sense

Sorry but I don't want to be an intern again. Guys all 3 of you seem to understand the point of what those guys are alluding to in the post Baro made So how do we go from a possible relaxation of the UBI to now thinking workers will be working like slaves ? Could one of you explain what you mean....or maybe you guys are just joking ?

Was it Best Friends? I know they are near you. It was a puppy mill rescue organization based out of Colorado Springs. The name was something similar to that, I can check in the morning. In SA we take the wellbeing of our pets very seriously, so for example if someone abuses there pets there can and will be criminal charges Sometimes there are cases of utter abuse of dogs and the people committing these acts are literally vilified by most of society, I remember a couple of years ago a drunk man put a firecracker in his dogs anal cavity ....the cracker exploded and the dog died a slow death over the next 8 years The guy who did this lost his job and was charged for abuse of animals and he had to move from his neighbourhood

But why would you try to do something that is not your skillset ? Why not ask one of the Art teachers to assist or give ideas around creativity ?

What would be typical Xmas food in your area of Canada? I imagine where volo lives in the wilderness they feast on Grizzly Bear or Elk

Not only am I giving Trump a chance I am supportive of several things he has already done The position of president of the USA is much more important than any one man. We must give Trump the benefit of the doubt for the next 4 years. It seems counterintuitive to automatically have preconceived views of anyone in politics especially when they explained numerous times " what was said during the campaign mustn't be taken literally " I still support numerous SJ campaigns but I acknowledge after the 9 months of making certain assumptions around Trump, which is not anyones fault because he was offensive, I now realize people like myself need to review a few things around some SJ causes we openly support as its clear to me some of the SJ views I have held around " this is offensive, this person is a bigot " were misplaced and inaccurate Its illogical if I claim to support someone like Hilary, who I still like , but her own support base didn't vote for her in the same numbers as previous elections

Thanks GD I hope you had a festive Xmas too

Would you say you hot? You sound hot Those are synonims.In the same way that a butter knife and a combat knife are both sharp. You shouldn't get this drunk on Xmass you know. Nah, thats an anti-Western conspiracy theory....I imagine you feel guilty every Xmas because of the amounts of alcohol you must consume...its fine I give you permission to get inebriated Of course you must get drunk on Xmas, everyone knows this as an irrefutable fact

What state is that Red? Are there wild bears and other ferocious animals in the area....when you say " log cabin " I immediately think of some wilderness, FPS, survival game North Carolina. Lol nah the only survival part is navigating these tiny narrow one way roads praying no one else is driving down while ur driving up with big drop offs. There's wild animals but not really in this area. Me and the woman listen to the wolves howl while we sat relaxing in the outdoor hot tub while it drizzled a bit. Nice one brutha

Geez, that sounds delicious Do you do all the cooking in this type of gastronomic night ?

My Xmas is definitely getting much, much better This issue Im dealing with at one of my customers has stabilized and thats huge pressure off me. Its a very rainy day in JHB and even though I wont be at the coast for the yearly family gathering my mom and stepdad are having Roast Pork in JHB , which I lovvvvvvvve, so Xmas will be small but festive and pleasant and Im excited

I am about to play Dishonored 2, very excited

I just bought this, Im busy downloading it as we speak

For a moment I thought you were serious and I had this long-arse reply typed up and ready to go. Well played sir, well played. I would think that statement is true and very applicable ?

The topic of the current conversation is food. It may be convenient for your argument to ignore that, but you can have your morality discussion with someone else. Any time you eat out (particularly from a street vendor), you are risking exposure to bacteria. In the US there are regulations in place to limit that exposure. In China, according to Sharp_One's example, there is no regulation. Ergo, you are at greater risk to bacteria in China. That seems absolute to me. You brought up McDonalds and tried to make this an American versus China thing, and you haven't convinced me. Honestly I'm not even sure how accurate Sharp_One's example is. I'd have to believe China has some sort of regulations for restaurants and food markets, particularly in the larger cities. I thought this was a politics thread, besides the derail began with the post below. Clearly the subtext of this whole thing is to criticize China for their lack of regulations. This was always an America vs China thing, I would say something rude that points to your inability to keep up with the thread but I suspect your post is borne more out of sophistry rather than a lack of understanding. Don't know which is worse, though. When were you last time in China? Answer me this: In which country you can buy bread, some ingredients and start selling sandwiches on a sidewalk starting your own small business. And no one will bother you. A) USA B) China But why would anyone want to live in China when you can live in any Western country which is much better on numerous levels, China Is not a Democracy, you dont vote in China China controls the flow of information aggressively, so if you like the idea of living in a truly censored society China is your place China doesnt care about human rights abuses in other countries because of there own appalling human rights record China interferes directly in there financial sector and tried to control there own stock market China is an important country, don't misunderstand me. But its not a better country than any Western country because of our values

Merry Xmas All I have had to cancel my Xmas leave due to issues at work but I'll still have Xmas at my moms who lives in JHB and I will take the leave I lost after NY

No you misunderstand me, a women can be gay and then get into straight relationships ore get married to a man and never be lesbian again. Its different for women as often the gay relationship is a mental one or emotional one while with most gay men the physical attraction to men and the physical relationship is what matters, its not a mental relationship I have never seen gay men suddenly become really straight so again provide links if you want to convince me

The last thing we want is anymore negative political sentiment towards Merkel, she needs to stay in power so the EU continues to be a sustainable and successful economic union for its member states

Links? I dispute the view that there are many examples of this

I do agree, the two are similar because he killed the ambassador due to the real atrocities Russia committed in Aleppo

http://www.thegully.com/essays/africa/000825sexchange.html Guys here are some more reprehensible medical treatment stories the Apartheid government forced on young gay men to " cure them " It makes me feel nauseous....what was wrong with these people ?

Didn't know you could get a degree in that... Me, I don't put much weight on formality, I just ask my gay friends (or a couple of family members) If I'm curious about something related to the subject. No better way to get straight (pun unintended) answers. Yes my outback living Australian and Kangaroo pet keeping friend but thats why I am considered so intelligent and astute on these forums Lets be honest, you have no education....dont you wish you could finish your grade 12 and earn the respect I have There are only about 12 people who ignore me? Its not that bad

Correct Of course I dont have a degree, I mean I have asked questions to my gay friends, observed behavior and understood what strife and discrimination members of the LGBT community go through globally
