Yeah that was funny, he even went into more detail at the time http://edition.cnn.com/2015/08/04/politics/donald-trump-mexico-wall-pay/index.html And this was after he had really offended basically the whole of Mexico by calling them criminals .....people in Mexico took that seriously and many people were understandably angry

The worlds not sick Oby? We are living in the greatest era of mankind, the solution to most of Russia internal problems is to implement a proper form of Democracy but that would mean Putin probably stepping down and a more progressive person coming to power who doesnt see the West as an enemy

I'd be OK with some tax increases if they went to deficit reduction. But you know she's going to spend it all and then some, and leave us in a worse financial situation then even now. Are these apparent tax increases legitimate...its the first time I have heard about it but my knowledge of the American tax system and perceived changes to it is lacking But you will also end up paying extra money under Trump, for example how is the Trump Wall going to be funded?

Really? I work with a bunch of lecherous 50 year olds. Tiresome to hear how hot the coffee shop girl is. I mean it is true, but come on. Also I can go into real societal and rationale reasons why going to a strip club has got nothing to do with age but the truth is I was joking with Hurlshot because he often states he has never been to a strip club....you know what he is like, he means well but he tends to think all people should follow his moral code of acceptable behavior So knowing this I made a comment which was exactly what he wouldn't do ....I thought it would be funny, I keep forgetting how my sense of humor is often misunderstood

http://www.citizen.co.za/1226263/all-whites-must-be-hacked-and-killed-eff-candidate/?ref=yfp Just so you guys in the USA dont think you the only country where people make uninformed and irrelevant comments about other races

You must believe it, its true A sense of humour has no age limit

I have heard this before but is it true? Do you have a credible link because I am not sure that was the main reason

I can imagine you have a long list of strip clubs you will be visiting ...you lucky fish

Yes this is huge issue for me and its a blatant inconsistency around the global responsibity countries need to take for there own citizens or in this casre Muslim countries taking responsibity for fellow Muslims Merkel meant well with the initial offer to take in refugees and even though I now think it was a mistake because of how the initial offer was abused Gernany was prepared to help about 1.3 million Syrians...even that was a hugely generous offer But what happened....suddenly it became a free for all and people from countries like Sudan, Iraq and Afghanistan assumed they could come to the EU. This was never the initial agreement and this has put unnecessary social and political pressure on the EU and some of its structures and member countries But this doesnt change the fact I am a huge supporter of Merkel and Germany and there role in the EU. Mistakes will happen but this shouldnt undermine or negate the greater good of the EU

It's because you don't known Russian language. You right, that is a big reason ....I know if I could speak in Russian they would be much more friendly so yes its not the fact they being rude

You have highlighted my point perfectly, many of you guys in the EU who frequent this forum have certain negative vies on the EU I understand why you think certain things, for example I understand the general frustration around the immigrants so please dont think I'm trying to tell you what you should be concerend about But fundematally most of the core issues some of you guys have with the EU seems to be around lack of soverignty and how you resent certain laws been forced down from Brussels But this is where we disagree, its not realistically possibly to have a union like the EU without the central government, so if your real gripe is about Brussels that cannot change unless you leave the EU? And I know this is annoying but the EU is suppose to be about shared responsibilty ....so when Gemany insisted the whole EU must take in a percentage of overall refugees they actually did this from a logical perspective as its suppose to be about shared burdens The only issue is its not fair for every single country in the EU to just now accept people who may come from countries that have no real understanding of the values of a Western democracy. And also I'm tired of the double standards the West is judged by....why should there be this expected view that the EU must take in all these refugees when none of the Sunni Muslim countries in the ME are prepared to take even one fellow Muslim?

Yeah, who does Cameron think he is? This is Western "Democracies", don't ever make the mistake of listening to the people or worse, enact the will of the people, they might just start getting all the wrong ideas. You right Gorthie but I wouldn't suggest other EU countries follow a referendum unless a right wing party comes to power like in Greece and a referendum was necessary The reality of the world is sometimes the majority of people in a country may believe something but that doesnt mean its right

Its not about money, you probably wont believe this but when I go to strip clubs I have to first build a connection with any of the ladies before I pay for anything. A connection means I need to talk to them, buy them a drink or 2 and feel comfortable talking to them, it cant just be about money for me. This normally takes 40 minutes or so But the Russian ladies generally dont like the type of small talk I enjoy. They want business and I understand this but this makes us incompatible

Source for that claim? I certainly don't doubt that there are a lot of refugees with mental problems - coming from a war zone, losing family, taking the grueling pseudo-Darwinian route to Europe ("only the strong survive")... How does someone know that "a lot" fake that? Yeah, imagine living in Afghanistan...during the 1980's you had the USSR invasion, then a civil war where the Taliban won and ran a violent and barbaric form of government and the USA invasion due to 9/11....so you argue the country has been destablized for over 30 years Now imgaine the mental state of some of the people living there .

Wait a second...didn't the Obsidian think tank determine that PRISM is useless and you have a better chance getting hit by a booger flicked by a Bigfoot than you do catching a mook with PRISM? Gfted1 are you prepared to share who you are voting for and if you dont want to I understand but how do you feel about the state of the US political arena at the moment ?

Wait a second...didn't the Obsidian think tank determine that PRISM is useless and you have a better chance getting hit by a booger flicked by a Bigfoot than you do catching a mook with PRISM? Indeed there was rejection of Prism because of the concern of private data being scanned ....and I assume people are worried normal law abiding citizens will get harrassed by the federal government. But I dont think the functionality or effectiveness was questioned ? As I mentioned last time this would be no issue for me because Prism would be used to track and find people who would be considered terrorists ...so the majority of Americans would never even know about Prism

Hilarious. Snowden actually commented and stated that if Russia were responsible, the US government would know and it wouldn't be "speculation," suggesting (big surprise) Russia isn't behind this. Trump believing the very media rigged in Hillary's favor is priceless though. An aside, but the faith in Snowden's anything is sort of funny. Please explain what reason anyone has to distrust anything said by Snowden. The man got in trouble because he showed integrity and transparency when the government did not. Snowden is like Assange but even worse because he actually worked for the NSA, he betrayed his country to reveal secretive programs like Prism. And conviniently ended up travelling through China and ended up in Russia and you can be guaranteed he shared everything he could with both those countries But I'm glad Prism is now revealed, it should be used to address domestic terrorist attacks from home grown terrorism

Oby how do you expect people to understand videos in Russian,....some of your videos I want to watch but its becomes pointless if I cant understand what people are saying? Do you can't use subtitles? You can try learn to Russian language also by same way as some descendant of Dutch colonists learnt Imperial language of conquerors for meeting with his English masters. From my side i can only assist to you by delivering of moar Russian videos. Vlog of some Caucasian native - diary of Hach (Russian analog of N*** word for Caucasian race). http://youtu.be/6iRVzIL-BpE P.S. You also tell ( in the past )some cool stories about your "Russian"strippers-friends, you can use their help for translate also. Oby people generally learn languages when they are exposed to them or need to learn them for business , there is very little Russian spoken in SA In fact this may sound weird but I dont think we even have a Russian community? I cant ask any Russian stripper to help me learn Russian because we dont have that type of personal relationship

BBQ ...the great institution that everyone loves. In South Africa we call it a braai and its a very common and established part of our culture

So then these fakers should be booked into a mental asylum.....I imagine after a few months they would be " cured " Imagine not being depressed but people think you are so you are forced to accept treatment. It reminds me of the movie the Changeling with Angelina Jolie and how she was illegally sent to that psychiatric hospital. That story is based on a true story https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christine_Collins

The Mexican president has already said Mexico wont be paying for the wall.....so who is going to pay for it? http://edition.cnn.com/videos/politics/2016/07/10/mexican-president-enrique-pena-nieto-trump-wall-sot-gps.cnn

Hastur can you share where you live in the USA? As I mentioned I enjoy your posts and I'm sure you have had an interesting life. If someone asked you to summarize your life in a few bullet points how would you say " This is me and this is what has shaped my views " I'm not being nosy I'm just interested because of how diverse the views and perspectives of Americans can be

This seems like a rather reasonable assessment. Let me frame the question a different way " what is Julian Assange's reasons or motives around the USA " ? Imagine you want to buy a home in a nice neighborhood. It comes to your attention that the other prospective buyer is a pedophile and a sex offender. Your heart goes out to both the Real Estate Agent and the neighborhood, because whether the sex offender does any further crimes or no, there's already damage the moment he moves in in that investments and property values will drop, nevermind the horrors that would befall the neighborhood if he still partakes in criminal activity. You decide to inform the real estate agent of this and show her the police report about the other buyer, not so much in your own self-interest, but because you feel that she has a right to know. The Real Estate Agent then becomes highly suspicious and paranoid and asks "what are your motivations in showing me this? Why do you not want him to live in this neighborhood? Is there something you're not telling me...!?" The Real Estate Agent then - off of her wild suspicions alone and completely devoid of evidence - determines it's best to sell the home to the pedophile and not to you, out of fear that there's more to your story and your motivations. That's you. That's how crazy you sound. I'm not sure I understand your analogy Are you saying Assange is the person alerting the real estate agent about the USA? Is the USA suppose to be the pedophile? Can you not just answer the question simply " what do you think motivates Assange in his view of the USA " ? ... You are both failing to understand the analogy, and you are instead insisting to me that it is far better if I needlessly speculate without any evidence whatsoever about what Assange's motivations may be. Some people were dropped on their heads as children, then there's you. Dude your head must've been mistaken for a football and thrown to the ground during an enthusiastic touchdown celebration. Why are you now objecting to speculating, you happily speculate on other topics ? But your response was predictable. you cant answer my question and instead of admitting that you feel the need to make personal attacks on me...as usual.... And you think I debate in bad faith Ok Bruce, here you go, gonna drop a bombshell for you: Maybe Assange genuinely cares about the American people and feels we have a right to know when we're being cheated, because he believes in the principles of Democracy. Yknow, like all those people that are upset with Clinton for the exact same reason? Like Snowden's motivations for what he did? What do *you* think Assange's motivations are? Assange has a definite anti-USA agenda, the whole way he uses Wikileaks in an attempt to embarass and undermine the USA is patently obvious So he is very biased towards the USA which makes him biased towards what the West stands for This is not uncommon but lets not think he represents this paradigm of truth about what is best for the USA
