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

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
