At least this confirms more irrefutable evidence that Islam isn't a violent religion

I always find his posts interesting, granted they may be enigmatic and sometimes esoteric but they always make me think Now to answer the question, I have been active in the gay scene for 15 years. I support events like Gay Pride and have gay friends. i have studied homosexuality and this is my view I have never known any gay person to truly become heteorsexual, I have seen gay people have to pretend to be straight but they always gay The Apartheid government attempted to do exactly what you suggesting.,...make homosexuals become heteorsexuals. They failed ....please read this appallinhg but true article http://www.bmj.com/content/329/7480/1415 There is no need to want to become heteorsexual, why would you want to change who you are?

You cared enough to reply. And you cared enough to tell Hurlshot he cared enough yet you also have no interest in this thread yet Hurlshot clearly is someone you care about .....well enough for you to pretend to care about this thread We give Hurlshot a pass for this because he normally really puts effort into tolerance and not being bias in the USA....so in fact he really cares.

Stop being a forum elitist Hurlshot His posts are not that hard to understand but you guys seem to over analyze what he is saying, smoke some weed and it will be easier to understand

But we need to define free speech because I dont think your definition is the same as mine Free speech in your example about the family is not free speech, if you wanted to speak on behalf of your family thats just speaking on behalf of your family but it may also contain free speech So free speech is just speaking without censorship Can you explain " Whites, there are so many weaknesses in your system because of pseudo-(individual based)-free speech " it sounds interesting

No this is all me, I went back and reread your point and you were clear on the overall point I jumped to conclusions but actually I skimmed through the first paragraph which I why i made assumptions

This entire post is so full of inaccurate comments and classic uninformed " Obama bashing " I feel you are making it just to annoy me Now I wont take the bait .....unless other people also share your view then I can dispute it. I cannot find one thing you have said that is true or you will be able to prove ....seriously not one

One thing I hate about the argument of "you voted and you lost, get over it" is that these aren't matters to just let slide when you don't get your way. This isn't some football match where your team's lost, this is serious stuff that has an impact in your way of living and that of everyone in your country, so of course arguing against the popular vote is not only sensible, it is necessary. If everyone just accepted the way things were because they "lost", would we have much of a democracy at all nowadays? Of course, this runs parallel to my opinion of whether everything should be blamed on Brexit or whether Britain should form part of the EU once more (I don't feel like I know enough about the matter to give an informed opinion either way). I just see things like this being said after every election there is and think it's a rubbish argument to make. If they believe Brexit is to do with it and that it should not have gone the way it did, it is within their power to still protest it regardless of any popular vote. I wish people would stop comparing Trump to Brexit, only some supporters on both sides share some ideological views but the 2 events were done for different reasons and supported for different reasons I can see how the 2 events may seem similar but to explain why they not the same in a easy way Brexit was fundamentally about one of the worlds most historically significant countries and currently powerful countries wanting to make there own laws and be governed by there own parliament. They are entitled to want this and aspire politically to this. Of course the EU is a successful trade block so the UK has some economic exposure but it will persevere. This is a permanent decision and will impact generations in a positive way IMO The rise of Trump is more of a political upheaval and attack on the current US political establishments ...it appears many Americans are unhappy with where the country was and is going. But worse case Trump will be gone in 4 years and we go back to the normal and understandable US political systems.Trump is not going to fundamentally change or destroy parts of the USA I wasn't compariing Trump to Brexit, aside from the attitude I see following the results for both (and other elections too). I was just making a point I see about elections in general. You said " my opinion of whether everything should be blamed on Brexit "...what did you mean by that ? I am not criticizing you by the way as many people are saying Trump and Brexit are the same and we should discuss this Oh, it's just Pie in the video saying he's tired of seeing everything being linked backed to Brexit and so on. What I meant is that I have no opinion as to how Brexit is affecting the UK currently because I haven't been following the matter all that closely. Oh my bad, I did misunderstand you

No, I feel great. Not that there's a chance California would leave, but I wish they would and create the People's Republic they always wanted. I was just teasing you because it was very interesting that you and Hurlshot were joking about this and then a few weeks later I watched this interview with this " California representative of why they need to leave " I like California and always have but this guy had no clue what he was saying, basically he said " we want to leave the USA not because of Trump but because we are not aligned to the future of the USA " !!! Since when? Oh wait since Trump won and now that means California needs to secede.....its such an over reaction its a joke

Some people argued it was Federal overreach but there are some matters that quite simply couldn't be left up to the individual states to " do the right thing " Gay marriage is one of those things

WOD that reminds me ....I see now California wants to leave the USA. I warned you about this remember, I said what if California now thinks its unwanted because you guys keep saying " we dont care if California leaves " Do you feel guilty ?

I still firmly believe that history will remember Obama very positively, he did a lot for the USA but its not his time now. We need to discuss Trump I am the first one to admit for 9 months I and many people who share my views had a false view of what Trump stood for, we were distracted and institutions like the global media focused on the perceived SJ influence of Trump instead of his core policies....which actually should have been the talking points but its not our fault as Trumps antics were politically unprecedented Anyway once Trump won the election it was almost immediately obvious he had no intention of implementing or doing most of the controversial things he alluded to or claimed to believe , for me this was a good thing so Trump has so far only done positive or expected things It would be inaccurate to believe the " sky is falling in the USA " because we cannot or rather shouldn't judge him on his election bravado. We obviously need to judge him on his decisions going forward. I am not surprised by his cabinet, yes they basically all white but most of them are billionaires or highly successful men in corporate world I like the corporate world so I am supportive of this, if anything its some of his supporters who should feel used and manipulated as they actually believed the whole " I'll drain the swamp " BS

The article is at least thought provoking, in my experience only people living in first world countries would think assets and owning resources dont matter I understand the article is just a theoretical view of a future but I think the idea sounds awful and I reject it unequivocally

Do you even follow your own conversations or not so much? Its very difficult to have a debate or exchange ideas if you are incapable of responding to a simple question

It must be one of the most obviously unlikely political alliances to suggest could occur....do you think people really believe this?How is it unlikely?Germany does what it wants in EU. So: 1. Historically it won't be a shocker. 2. Germany still does deals with Russia disregarding the sanctions. Ever heard of Nord Stream? There are many economic, historical and political reasons a EU/Russia alliance vs USA is highly unlikely and even the suggestion seems preposterous Yup. So numerous you cannot name one. Fo you have any clue about anything? Check the map and see how huge Russia is. It's one of the biggest markets in a single country. They have vast amounts of natural resorces and endless demand for western goods. Economically there are plenty of reasons to allign with Russia. I want to be clear on this, your view on geopolitics and the feasibility of global alliances as far Russia is concerned has a view that because Russia has natural resources that could be a reason for the EU to align with Russia and move away from the USA?

" cognitive skills " .....thats not something that matters much on these forums ...or do we think this is a place where words like that warrant a real debate?

There are many economic, historical and political reasons a EU/Russia alliance vs USA is highly unlikely and even the suggestion seems preposterous But one of the obvious reasons is the lack of economic advantage aligning with Russia will bring, Russia is in an economic recession and they offer no economic incentive for the EU to support them and somehow drop the USA Kenyans are impressive people. He is not Kenyan, he was born in the USA...surely you must be aware of this? I intentionally dont mind not understanding certain Internet colloquialisms and nomenclature that some members use on forums like this I admit I am not getting this joke, how is it funny? I am missing the punchline ......Obama gets some weak compliment and he is then compared to be Kenyan....where is the humor ?

It must be one of the most obviously unlikely political alliances to suggest could occur....do you think people really believe this?

This must be one of those joke websites? There is very little chance or practical reason the EU would ever align with Putin over Trump who is the USA, a historical and current ally of the EU

Kenyans are impressive people. He is not Kenyan, he was born in the USA...surely you must be aware of this?

Is this the PIzza story where Hilary was involved in a Paedophile ring? I dont believe a word of it for the record

Of course there are example of increased Hate Crimes since Trump was elected, its not the end of civil society but it is real http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2016/11/12/post-election-spate-hate-crimes-worse-than-post-911-experts-say/93681294/

I believe so but he definitely had some kind of mental break Reading about it in the news and it sounds like a different person than the one I knew Sorry to hear that Shady
