Your capacity for self-delusion never fails to amaze me. Meshugger are you seriously comparing the musical genius of Hendrix with the demagoguery, pandering, hyperbole and offensive strategies and comments of Trump....is that your comparison to the current rise of Trump? oh you poor sweet, innocent thing. Why does life have to be so cruel to you? ...

Indeed ...

We had an issue last night so I only finished at 11 pm....but its done now so I have Sunday to relax and do some gaming

Volo please be honest. You can whine, use hyperbole and criticize your government as much as you want ....but do you think you would survive even a month without a government running Canada? You need to be told what to do because if decisions were left to you your country would absolutely collapse Can you imagine Canadian Finance Minister : " Volo should people pay tax ? ...... Volo : " No, taxes are Nazi systems that try to control people...I believe in a free society " Canadian Finance Minister " But then we need to increase corporate tax " Volo " No I dont like corporates because they are a form of SJW Nazi control ...we dont need corporations in our society as they push a SJW agenda " Canadian Finance Minister " But how will we manage the government budget and achieve fiscal stability " Volo " Budget? Fiscal stability ? Those are meaningless terms used by Nazis and SJW to enforce control over citizens ....I reject those things " And when the electricity stops working and suddenly you cant access the Internet anymore you will realize the great circus is over ....the great illusion has ended. Guess what volo, RL and RL institutions like governments matter and have real responsibilities and real deliverables to citizens They dont exist on the Internet and worry about meaningless things like " Nazi SJW " nonsense

Interesting that you omitted that the media was taken for a ruse to show how incompetent they are and how they now have to admit the following instead: Please do a little research before saying " Hilary started the Birther Obama controversy " Its has been debunked many times now, Hilary Clinton did not start this malicious rumour http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2015/sep/23/donald-trump/hillary-clinton-obama-birther-fact-check/ http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2016/09/16/no-hillary-clinton-did-not-start-birther-movement/90500762/ Bill Clinton, is that you? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYnl6GMOBIA Kate Bolduan is a very astute political commentator, she has the daily show on CNN " State of the Race " and yes the various CNN commentators are right. Trump not only wasted peoples time but he horribly flip flopped on this issue This is something we should all be condemning as it shows how Trump uses the media when it suits him but then whines about " the media is biased and has horrible people working for it " when the " media " doesn't comment on what he likes Why should we be condemning him for using something that is against him and benefiting from it doing what it thinks it should be doing? Normally we praise people for that. So what is it then as I am confused? Is the media as many people on this forum suggest biased against Trump Or is the media not biased when Trump decides to use them? Because as I keep saying the media is not fundamentally biased, the media reports on what candidates do and what they say

I am at one of my customers now, we are working at testing the DR site functionality and all vendors have to confirm their applications can work in the event of a disaster where the DR site is needed So I'll be testing the application my company is responsible for, hopefully it should all go well

Yes I am aware of a view from some that " Trump is doing everything right " This is of course subjective. Some people think letting a comedian play with Trumps hair demonstrates Trump has a human side and " cant be that bad " Of course Trump is human and has some positive ideas. He is not all bad , he is not like some despotic world leaders like Mugabe or Putin But his views on " how to make America great again " concern me immensely. He is cavalier with the truth and is happy to make comments in the interests of political expediency and the later retracts them when it suits him. I am really only concerned with realistic views on policy that are consistent and feasible and Trump keeps failing in this regard

http://edition.cnn.com/2016/09/15/politics/donald-trump-obama-birther-united-states/ Guys this link highlights again reasons I am always amazed people people would want to support Trump Trump has for the last 5 years questioned if Obama was born in the USA, he constantly has supported a view that Obama isnt an American citizen. It was a disgraceful and malicious campaign and had a racist undertone to delegitimize Obama as the first African American president He has now admitted Obama was born in the USA No candidate has flip-flopped as much on policy and comments as Trump. He is inconsistent on so many topics like his economic policy and the fact he wont release his tax returns And some people still think he is best candidate to be the next US president

volo you mustn't see it as Nazism when governments try to improve the lives of all its citizens by enforcing rules and being concerned with human rights This is about a better society for all, I'm surprised you think this has anything to do with Nazism ?

What's Portuguese flavor? piri-piri, coriander and bay leaf? to a lesser degree, saffron and parsley is also common. we don't typical think o' ribs as a common portuguese dish, save for braised short ribs. we do almost no portuguese cooking. we got a housekeeper who is portuguese and she makes us food, but she refuses to teach us portuguese cooking. she looked so terribly sad and disappointed the one time she caught us experimenting that we hasn't dared try since. HA! Good Fun! Portuguese spare ribs I think can be an anomaly to many in the spare rib world. Just to be clear this refers to the sauce the ribs get served in In South Africa we have strong Portuguese influences in our food because of the Portuguese community that lives here. So normally you get Sweet and Sour and Barbeque flavored ribs in SA but Portuguese ribs are a flavor between those two They are not sweet but hotter and more spicy than Barbeque yet the heat is not extreme but more flavorsome ....its hard to explain but I hope you get what I mean

Volo, GD is 100 % correct, you should ask yourself some questions " what is a place like these forums? Why do we frequent these forums and what do we want or expect form these forums " For me one of the main reasons I enjoy these forums are the political debates, I dont often agree with most people which at times frustrates me but you cant expect everyone to share your opinion....even if you can produce evidence or base your view on historical precedent But what has been invaluable to me on these forums are the important anecdotal stories we hear all the time, this matters because it aligns directly to what people outside the media, Internet movements and general political and social commentary are saying. We hear what normal citizens are thinking...sometimes this will support your view on topics and sometimes it wont. But it cant be ignored because it does represent an important demographic that needs to be understood So in summary, these forums represent for me one of the mediums where we get to discuss topics like the great USA political narrative, SJ developments and other relevant global events ...like the EU refugee crisis and the rise of Islamic Extremism Theses forums are great fun and very entertaining and we have interesting and constructive debates all the time ( even if we dont agree with each other...you can agree to disagree )

This is a very good post. You make some honest, candid and accurate points I still need to make my post around this but I need time to focus on this and until I have finished work for the day I wont be able to do that

Spoken like someone who's never really experienced racism personally. How the hell would you know at all what I've experienced? Course, I'm not going to compete for a place in the victimhood hierarchy, so if you want to make assumptions, all good. Quid the point where people say " white people haven't experienced racism " is an interesting one and it is nuanced I would like your opinion on this. For me personally as a white South African whose family lived through Apartheid I dont think " black on white " racism is the same as " white on black " racism This is a controversial point and many white South Africans do feel they are victims of racism now that Apartheid is over and many people on these forums always get annoyed when someone says " white people don't understand what real racism is " or " white people cant be victims of racism " But whats your view? I'll give you my view shortly, I am just busy with some work commitments

I can believe that but why do people need to make sense of 9/11 when we know why it happened? There is no need to make sense of certain events because the reason is documented and can be referenced by basically anyone It would be like getting upset everyday because you afraid the sky might fall on your head....we know the sky cant fall on our heads so why would that truly concern someone

Propaganda BS. The entire Olympics is one giant multi million dollar drug swamp. There is a huge difference between doping that some athletes of every country partake in and what is described as " state sponsored doping " in Russia The latter is much worse and demonstrates a level of doping where members of the Russian government and secret police were involved. Please take the time to read the link below and you will see what I mean, if you can find another example anywhere in the world where there was such a level of corruption and state interference in implementing doping post the links and I'll happily read it http://edition.cnn.com/2015/11/10/sport/russia-doping-report-shocking-things/index.html

Volo, it always hurts my feelings when you question the veracity of my comments It is always a personal choice who we decide to vote for, people have their reasons and we need to respect that. All that could be asked is if you decided to vote for Trump is " what about Trump made you decide to vote for him " ? This shouldn't be an issue as there could be many reasons people decided to vote Trump, I am not going to question that But you clearly aren't taking this poll seriously as you far too influenced by what I think....you voted Trump because I asked a simple question. I shouldn't have such an influence on your life and your decisions. Remember volo I am just a name on a forum ...dont worry about the perceived and exaggerated impact you think I have

Sure Oby, doping is " bad " in the USA but the doping in Russia is at a state sponsored level and the Russian head of the anti-doping lab had to resign because he was directly implicated http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/04038dc4-87c4-11e5-9f8c-a8d619fa707c.html#axzz4KKDtNRbB Plus the entire Russian paralympic team has been banned from the Paralympic games ..,...the ENTIRE team http://abcnews.go.com/International/russias-entire-paralympic-team-banned-upcoming-games/story?id=41182565 Then of course there is the 60 or more Russian athletes banned from the Rio Olympics http://edition.cnn.com/2016/07/29/sport/russia-banned-athletes-stars-2016-olympics/index.html So as much as we appreciate your concern with doping outside Russia I would suggest you spend all this time raising the reality of the huge doping crisis that exists within Russia....Russia has the worst levels of doping in the world and this is something that concerns me immensely

Who voted for Trump, this is no judgement call I am just interested? If I was asked to guess I would WOD, sharp_one, Sarex and Hiro would be definite Trump supporters

This is the crux of the problem, mate. It's not that Conspiracy Theorists (or CSes as you call them) are completely counterfactual. It's the shortcut they take. For example, I kith you and I don't agree about HRC. However, before the video of her losing muscle tone and literally being lifted into a van, I would have said that conspiracy theories about serious conditions and 4the whatnot were not founded. I still don't for the exact reason that you state. That she's been less than forthcoming about her health is not in question, but specifics about her health are not known. She might be in perfect health considering her known history and age. The problem that people should have about her isn't her health. It could all be explained rationally given the evidence. Point isn't to poke at you over the health issue. It's to agree with you that conspiracy theories are simply no way to conduct public affairs. If people want to vote against HRC because she's dishonest about her health or against The Donald because of his taxes, that's fair. Those are areas in which they've engaged in political double speech or outright deception (take the choice). Voters can and *should* vote with their minds, hearts, and guts so to speak a word. However, beyond the gutinstinctometer of the voter there is what we call truth, and that requires more than torturing facts to point to a desired outcome. Aw hell, I've been reading the walls of the loo too much lately. I don't know anything and so cannot give advice. No you raise good points, I wonder how much the creation and usage of the Internet has lead to the numerous examples of how some people unintentionally believe or propagate CS ? In some ways even though the Internet is the greatest source of information mankind has access to so easily it also has created a culture where some people have become lazy and lack the ability to discern or filter what should be valid information or applicable So we tend to dismiss large groups of websites because " they represent the media which is biased " yet we will support another website, lets say Breitbart, because they support our view of a certain narrative

Anyone who seriously thinks 9/11 was a conspiracy theory is either anti-Western and bitter Uninformed and ignorant Dillusiuonal or suffering from dementia Someone who just believes stupid conspiracy theories At this point in history anyone who doesn't believe in conspiracy theories is just misinformed. With all the information that has been leaked and all the awful things that government do you still trust them? I can understand skepticism and asking for evidence but just denying them on the merits of being a conspiracy theory... just go back to the MSM and vote for Hillary you chump. i honestly dont believe in any conspiracy theories.....well none I can think of? CS are just excuses where people become lazy and aren't interested in the truth. Why what CS should I consider? conspiracy theories depend on an absence of proof. therefore, while it can be amusing to debate conspiracy theories, it is, by definition, irrational to believe 'em. ... is particular strange given that conspiracy theorists tend to see themselves as skeptics. lack o' faith in media sources and governments is understandable and even laudable. however, is perplexing when the skeptics turn to crackpots, lunatics and rt for guidance. most perplexing. HA! Good Fun! Its a good point you raise, yes CS do have a absence of proof. I never thought about it like that because typically when you challenge a CS acolyte they send you a video from a some website called " Farmer Bob's Truth " ....and these videos are always the same if you can actually force yourself to watch it They always have some truth which sets the foundation and then the rest is nonsense or gross hyperbole. For example one of the classic ones " the USA is responsible for 9/11" " We know this because the CIA trained Bin Laden "​ Yes the CIA did train Bin Laden but that was only because the enemy was the Soviets and this was during the Afghanistan War in the 1980's, no one could predict what Bin Laden would do in the future. This is always left out from normal CS views

I read the article to learn what are those connection and there is no names, except from Putin's name just for kicks with no relevancy. Basically it's "Trump is bad, trust us we know". It's like reading an article written by BruceVC. My favorite line: "He would know what's there, he knows who his partners are and he knows, you know, he will know going forward." Is this even English? We should be following this story to see how it unfolds, its too early to see how serious it is but you should be concerned

Guess who I voted for ?

http://edition.cnn.com/2016/09/14/politics/kurt-eichenwald-donald-trump-business/index.html Guys this should be the most concerning story you have read in a while, Trump has real trade links to various countries that have a negative view of the USA This should be a real concern if the security of the USA is a worry to you
