  1. Welcome back Where have you been you ?
  2. Those are all good points but if you're living in a society that corrupt then they don't need your DNA to "get you". Also, the pattern of your DNA existing in a database does not provide anyone with the actual physical DNA. @ Sharp_one I can understand your concern but dont confuse corruption and incompetence that exists within the police force where you live as a global standard. This wont be used to frame innocent people I can assure you
  3. What are you talking about? The police show up to a crime scene, collect physical evidence (including your DNA), and run it through the database. BINGO! Ben No.3 left a hair behind whilst robbing the German equivalent to 7-11 (probably called 8-25 cause they work so hard) and they can roll right up to his residence and slap the cuffs on. Problem is in partial DNA matches which can cause unfounded suspicions, which can in bad day lead in imprisonment of wrong person because they can't afford to defend themselves. There may be the odd 2-4 % mistakes but they can build in additional proof checking and analysis of the DNA to reduce false positives?
  4. Whats wrong with that? Surely if you not breaking the law it wouldn't be a problem ?
  5. This is perfectly understandable considering the terrorist threat Germany faces, you should be grateful Bennie....you young people nowadays, very ungrateful for everything you have
  6. Would you say it has got to be one of the worst demonstrations of ignorance? It does demonstrate ignorance but thinking 9/11 wasn't committed by Al-Qaeda is egregiously more ignorant
  7. I am watching this fire in London live and the one Sky News reporter interviews one of the residents who tells the reporter " I watched a women jump from about the 12th floor to avoid death by fire " The reporter says " was she injured after jumping " ........seriously? What kind of question is that...what answer was the reporter expecting " no she was fine after jumping from the 12th floor "
  8. It has got to be one of the worst demonstrations of ignorance to still suggest in 2017 that 9/11 is a conspiracy theory committed by the USA to itself
  9. Brilliant, this post made me laugh
  10. I am forcing myself to keep watching the new season of Twin Peaks, its really annoying because I dont understand half of what is going on and who some of the people are suppose to be , for example who is Duggie and why is he so stupid ? But I am loving the new seasons of Magicians, Blue Bloods, Outcast and new series like American Gods, the Son, Gomorrah and Chicago PD so Im spoilt for choice
  11. I love sushi, I love those sushi conveyor belt restaurants where you can sit and munch on different sushi designs as they go past you on that moving "table " at the bar
  12. Hurlshot are you cracking a joke about immigrants .....you bad boy, you normally never joke about people less fortunate than you
  13. Browse wikipedia, it'll be more useful
  14. According to the link " The Czech Republic has so far only relocated 12 people last year and none since. There is a big scope for the Czech Republic to do more," he said. The Czech Republic had committed to take in 2,691 " That seems like an appallingly low number ? Surely your government can do more or at least move quicker....2.700 is not a high number. Relocate them and then pull out so you have at least committed to the original objective...that way you avoid much of the criticism
  15. oh yes, enjoy helping solve the massive Puerto Rico debt crisis https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-12-20/puerto-rico-ten-year-deficit-forecast-raised-to-68-billion
  16. Sup "waves " Welcome to Off Topic... the most incisive, erudite and insightful place on the Obsidian forums
  17. I had a good and relaxing weekend, no unnecessary socialising or partying at all I worked last night and cooked lunch for some friends yesterday but apart from that I have been playing Dishonored 2 and catching up on watching some TV series I haven't watched on PVR
  18. I have a question, why is what he said wrong? Also the quote was taken from a religious piece to a religious school.To a Christian, every other religion is wrong and inadequate. To a Muslim, every other religion is wrong and inadequate. Bernie condemning a person's belief to be Islamic phobic.....when again it's the very same damn shoe if someone is Muslim and thought about every other religion. It raises questions around his objectivity and ability to do his job in a way that isn't biasedWho the man in question or Bernie by making Christianity inferior to Islam? Because that can be said of both, imho moreso on Bernie because of WHERE it was said. One was said in a religious piece to a religious school and one was said at a govt hearing. Dont get me wrong, I dont dislike Sanders but Im not a big fan of his and I have always made that clear. He makes comments that are nothing short of left wing hubris, like when he wanted to break up all the US investment banks. That would have seriously negatively impacted the global economy He is also a populist like Trump and some of his comments are unhelpful to achieve a more harmonious and tolerant society But I was talking about the man
  19. I cant believe you agreed to that, you a much better person than me

  22. algroth how is your knowledge of economics and financial instruments and how they pertain to your country ? I want to ask you something about the Argentine bond crisis but I dont want to ask you something that you may not be familiar with? I have some... But my father is a former secretary of treasury and economy vice-minister so I'm sure any questions I wouldn't be able to answer, I could just ask him. Your father is probably the best person to answer this actually I will keep it simple, ask him if all the outdated bonds have been paid back. Basically most of Argentina's creditors exchanged their defaulted debt for new securities in two restructurings that took place in 2005 and 2010....are these debts paid back?

  24. That recalls a scene of Watership Down to mind, where the rabbit protagonists come across a road and, naturally, the cars that travel it. I meant to mention this earlier but I am glad you stuck around on these forums, we don't seem to retain new members on Off Topic and there are no lady members. I raised this with the regular members as sometimes I feel new members may get the wrong impression if they don't know how some people post and communicate For example I support SJ in RL and someone like volo quite regularly refers to SJW as Nazis, he doesnt mean it in the way most of us would respond to that criticism. In my world a Nazi is a type of white supremacist with a flawed and reprehensible view of minorities so you don't call someone that unless you want to offend them Don't take volo seriously if you feel he is offending you, he is actually much brighter than he pretends to be. Anyway the majority of members are nice and no one would be intentionally malicious I hope you stick around because I like your sincerity, how are you finding your overall experience ? Feels a little bit out of the blue, but... I think you have me a bit mistaken about me because I'm not a SJW nor do I care much about the SJ cause... I have my criticisms against political correctness and the 'liberal' position but just because I think they are going about it the wrong way and actually causing harm in the way they press their issues, I don't think it's right to go exactly the opposite way and condone an even worse philosophy (which is what I feel is happening quite a bit nowadays). Anyhow, I don't mind the experience, I know Volo is being tongue-in-cheek with much of his SJW Nazi claims, I'm not an absolute sourpuss all the time, just sometimes. No I don't think you a SJW, I don't accept that term because I am only concerned with SJ and equality in RL Internet SJ is more about divisive rhetoric and grandstanding, it lacks substance and I wont be pulled into something so pointless No I am happy believing and supporting SJ in RL where people take it seriously
