It's equivalent to the N word here in the states. The linguistic origin is different, but the meaning and usage is the same. Yes, they have bigger problems than that woman, but it's still part of what they're dealing with. I have to admit we do have much more egregious economic, political and social problems than this but this is still part of the Apartheid Legacy narrative that many of us strive to address or at least understand Its relevant to that aspect of the new South Africa

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-43567468 Hi All I am looking for peoples opinions on this development. In summary a white women in South Africa has been jailed for racist words she hurled at a black police officer . These are the questions you may consider This is an extreme sentence and it is an infringement on freedom of speech You cant jail people for saying racist words This is fair and should be the expected sentence for extreme racism IMO it is fair but it will also go both ways so going forward some black South Africans will also be charged for racism against white South Africans

Holy Smoke but plots and historical precedent has become convoluted in comics

Just watched Ozark season 1, excellent. Highly recommended

The new series of Vikings is brilliant as usual

https://www.kuehne-international.com/sauces/steak-sauce Oh for those gastronomes on this thread here is a delicious steak sauce that Im eating the Eland with tonight

GD I did beg you guys to vote Democrat but I was ignored and scorned ...its okay we only have 3-7 years left of this Its not that bad by the way, Im happy with numerous economic measurements and foreign policy has mostly been good IMO, for example I am glad Russia failed in there attempts to get sanction relief

Tonight Im having Eland steak, a type of venison, and baked potatoes Should be yummy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_eland

I corrected your post ..I assume thats what you meant? Arkan was one of the most reviled and brutal of the Serbian paramilitaries, he was indicted by the UN for crimes against humanity after the but avoided being captured and tried at the Hague until he was assassinated in 2000. At the time he was also one of the most notorious crime lords in the region

I admire anyone who is prepared to any game on the first release I always wait 6-8 weeks so that the initial patches are released, I really dont like bugs and crashes. For example I still haven't POE...I imagine its fully patched by now ?

The reviews seem okay : https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/06/movies/black-panther-review-movie.html GD as much as your post has relevance in the USA you dont understand racial politics or debates around racism until you have lived in SA. But we get use to it ...check this out, our president was forced to resign and a brilliant new guy has become our new president. The new SA president is an amazing businessman and billionaire and respects traditional corporate etiquette and the importance of the private sector so Im very happy https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/14/world/africa/jacob-zuma-resigns-south-africa.html https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/15/world/africa/south-africa-cyril-ramaphosa.html

What? No. He overturned mental illness checks for guns. He says mental illness is to blame for this one, ergo he practically admitted personal responsibility for this one. I don't give two ****s about what Jimmy Kimmel says, but let's certainly NOT leave Trump out of this. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/trump-signs-bill-revoking-obama-era-gun-checks-people-mental-n727221 I see he did make this change but I still think its just one part of the ongoing gun violence in the USA and this particular tragedy Its not going to necessarily lead to more gun attacks, you still will get instances of gun violence even if this law was not revoked ? Your point being? If you're only responsible for 25% of something instead of 100%, you're still responsible. TN I am looking for valid solutions to address the gun violence in the USA, this seems to be very specific just to this attack?

This is exactly my point, yes the media doesnt like Trump but now we have the parents of children literally screaming on CNN at Trump.....saying he mustn't come to Florida For me it actually seems to undermine the real tragedy. Lets leave Trump out of this one

https://www.newsday.com/entertainment/tv/jimmy-kimmel-trump-school-shooting-1.16800745 I dont particularly like Trump but its not fair he is getting told " how dare he comes to visit Florida by angry parents " ....he is also getting told he is being a hypocrite as he wont sign any anti-gun laws The high level of gun violence is not Trumps fault and associations like the NRA always oppose any regulation. As we have discussed there will always be incidents like this in the USA so if Trump wants to go to Florida he should be able to without excoriation and maledictions This tragedy is simply a reality that sometimes occurs in the USA

" they lied about Trumps lie " When its positioned like that it sounds absurd

This is a good read, Trump has definitely lied and embellished the truth much more than Trump But GD did you see how many statements Trump made that werent true ?

I have to say Im very impressed with this game, I always thought you Czechs only brewed beer and produced cheap porn...but I feel I have to add software development to that list of noble achievements

Oh that reminds me, where has Sharp_one been? Has he been active?

I'm not really concerned because when we all go in the voting booth there are no Russians in there with us. Yeah maybe they are spreading disinformation. But considering who are last three Presidents were and the four nominees who didn't get elected I'd say it was all just a choice of bad options. Not one of them would have been better than any other. And some maybe a good deal worse. So because of the Russians unflattering things end up in the news? OK, I figure most Americans aren't watching anyway. You know the problem with all those ugly e-mails and other info released to wikileaks? If the principles in the DNC and Hillary Clinton's campaign had conducted their business in a professional manner, like people do at their jobs every single day, there would not have been much to release. I'd hazard a guess and say no one with any sense voted for either Clinton or Trump. They voted against the alternative. And until people figure out there are more than two options the race to the bottom will continue. Fair enough, you guys ultimately need to be comfortable with this whole Russian attempt to interfere in the election But I also agree it has become lackluster and a little banal as its not really that relevant to the Democratic loss

https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2018/01/putins-game/546548/ Guys here is an excellent read around how the Russians interfered in the USA election I am always surprised how our American friends dont seem concerned with this type of attempt to undermine the Democratic process in a country like the USA?

Like the NSA concerns you? NSA? Not in the slightest, I trust institutions like the NSA, CIA and FBI on most matters. This GOP memo is a deliberate attempt to misrepresent information and the FBI has publicly criticized the GOP move, unusual for them

http://edition.cnn.com/2018/01/31/politics/nunes-memo-law-enforcement/index.html Guys this type of misleading misinformation potentially released by some in the GOP should concern all of us....
