  1. Guys there are so many links of the atrocities currently being committed by Russia and Assad in there bombing campaign against Aleppo and other areas in Syria. They have bombed hospitals several times and have no concern for civilian life and have indiscriminately killed thousands ...as I always say " there is something that is empty in most Russian, its like they have no conscience "? The USA is considering charging Russia with war crimes and its warranted, lets see what happens http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2016/10/07/kerry-says-russia-syria-should-face-war-crimes-probe/91725626/ Now i know how much some of our forum members are concerned about the loss of civilian lives of Syrians or other Muslims in the Middle East when the USA is responsible ...yet I have heard nothing from anyone about the war crimes Russia has committed So the only possible explanation for this is you guys just arent aware of what has been happening the last 6-8 months so I posted some links for you guys....there are many more Oby, Zora, Volo, Drowsy, Dark, Chillout, LK, Meshugger, Hiro .....I did this for you , its important to be informed http://globalnews.ca/news/2977193/russia-syrian-government-bomb-aleppo-hospital/ https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/dec/23/russian-cluster-bombs-killed-hundreds-civilians-syria-watchdog http://time.com/4129222/russia-airstrikes-syria-civilian-casualties-isis/ http://globalnews.ca/news/2977193/russia-syrian-government-bomb-aleppo-hospital/ http://edition.cnn.com/2016/02/05/politics/kerry-russian-bombs-killing-women-and-children-in-large-numbers/index.html
  2. The New York Times Politics section. https://archive.is/Q9KQD I have to be honest those comments about him actually make me think much less of him....he now seems more like some Internet troglodyte and its best he remains at a place like reddit...he will find good company
  3. I meant to tell you guys about my very rewarding week, at one of my customers I have a good lady friend who suggested i ask her sister out. And I wont lie this friend of mine is hot and she is an awesome person so of course I said i would love to So we have been chatting this week and her sister, Bronwynn, and I get on very well so I'm taking her to lunch today in a few hours, check the menu at the place we going to ..I might get the Eisbein or the Duck? http://www.hillsidetavern.co.za/images/HT%20Menu%202016.pdf
  4. Yeah but in those days alcohol was likely involved.Doing my time sleeping on the floor... Now where is the alcohol to soften up these old bones??? Gorthie but my understanding is the average Australian doesn't even own a bed as its considered pretentious I'm an immigrant. Aren't you supposed to be unconditionally supportive of me? The average Aussie probably also has a six pack in the fridge. Right now I would settle for having a fridge... Going to get a bed on Tuesday though and a fridge and a washing machine too next weekend (as well as internet, giving my mobile phone a break) Sorry Gorthie, you right. I do need to be more supportive ....you know me and my normal refined sense of decorum. I never offend anyone Oh I meant to ask, what about work ?

  6. he is also cute but in a doggie way
  7. I meant to ask you, how is your sister? You never mention her anymore, is she worried about Trump....tell her the same thing I told you ..its okay she mustn't worry as HIllary will win
  8. No its fine? What aspect of the US foreign policy do you question He's not questioning US foreign policy he's say (correctly) that the public is not in on every detail of the big picture so no one outside the NSA, CIA, & State Dept actually knows what;s going on. Even if the news story is true, if I read someone one chapter from The Count of Monte Cristo they would not be able to tell me what the story is all about. Shady's posts are always so cryptic, well done for deciphering that one GD
  9. No its fine? What aspect of the US foreign policy do you question
  10. Obama is a half-witted fool. We do not want Russia as an enemy right now. This shows how reckless and idiotic the democrats are behaving. Why? Russia has already hacked the USA several times, why shouldn't the US retaliate ?
  11. This actually makes sense. As I keep telling you guys the Russians have been hacking the USA and now that Russia has been in utter contempt of the Syrian peace talks the USA is understandably irritated ....they will return the Russia hacks, they actually have much better cyber espionage capabilities than Russia and they will use it
  12. This did become obvious,....as much as I think Breitbart feeds a certain negative view I cant start thinking I can guide a certain right wing narrative. Thats just hubris Because we also have extreme left wing views....so do we now change those? So I would not change anything because it makes things even worse
  13. Gfted1 you are a very consistent and interesting person but I think you are being honest about a real misunderstanding that many men, and most people on this forum, just dont understand Most people dont get what most modern women mean when we say " this is sexist " or " what defines gender equality " This is not about intelligence, I didn't get it until it was explained to me. But I wanted to be clear on this topic because I am very committed to achieving gender equality in SA for starters ....and sometimes I need to explain this to SA women I will happily explain it to anyone on this forum but I really dont want to explain it to anyone if they dont really care. And to be honest I think you guys are fine with your definitions because if anyone cared they would have asked by now. For example that Trump women and how she defended Trumps sexism was and is deeply flawed. Yes I can honestly tell you that as a man, I can promise you that just because a women says " this is not sexism " that doesnt mean its true Of course there is a balance, we cant have men now dictating to women about issues like this but this is not the objective So anyway I can explain any terms people aren't clear on?
  14. But Beyonce is a role model for many women http://www.marieclaire.co.za/hot-topics/gugulethu-mhlungu-on-the-immense-power-of-beyonce
  15. I dont understand? Is this is the legal response to closing down Breitbart?
  16. Oh no.. they say she's got to go. Go go Hilzilla. Wooo ooo hoo ooo. I can do this all day! You guys wont believe this but I think I have just had an epiphany around how most of you Americans feel about free speech I was about to say that Breitbart should be closed because it is so divisive and basically encourages bigotry, I was then going to say i have no problem with reasonable right wing websites but they need to take some responsibility for what they say But then I thought, if you close down Breitbart now what is next? Who decides what is acceptable ? So you cannot close anything down...am I right about understanding the US idea of free speech in this case?
  17. Imagine having to explain to your students how someone like Trump represents the ideals of the USA ...no need to worry. This is so unlikely
  18. I love puddy cats, they so cute and naughty
  19. I'm sure it was easy to make the convincing argument
  20. Oh yeah, she might. I rather doubt it personally but she certainly could. A lot of the problems that make her a flawed candidate would not necessarily make her a flawed president, but there a lot of other factors that may. When it comes right down to it Hillary is a status quo candidate who is unlikely to make any earthshaking departures from general orthodoxy. She probably won't get into a nuclear war with the Russians or any of the other nightmare scenarios. That's fine when the status quo is popular, but it certainly isn't popular at the moment. The trouble is also that the status quo- things like the low interest rates, deficit spending- cannot be maintained indefinitely, most of the vested interests that want it maintained are Hillary supporters, and fixing issues will often require working against those who backed her. If Obama, far less beholden to/ supported by those vested interests has found it hard to make changes she'll find it harder, while making such changes becomes more and more urgent. The big problem she will have though is the same as her big problem on the campaign though; she isn't really likeable. People tend to be far more forgiving of people they like and forget their flaws more readily. She's likely to be elected as the most disliked/ negatively viewed president elect ever, so she's starting from behind in the first place. Of course, if she gets a run of excellent growth, lower unemployment, reduced deficits or even surplus etc then people are unlikely to care about her likeability, but the last such run was 20 years ago when Bill was President. Zora would it be possible for you to not parrot the stereotypical attacks on Hilary Clinton that our Americans do believe because they live in the US and for many of them they have to live with her as president Yes, yes I get it .....its the Internet and feelings dont matter and you just saying what others are saying. But you dont care about the USA yet you love taking the time to make your usual intellectual\captious comments that ostensibly appear normal but on further reflection are utterly negative Or can you at least say something new when you criticize her ?
  21. WOD can I ask you something, would you say you feel depressed about the state of this election or more irritated? Pence would be a much better choice, I was watching him in the Kain debate and as much as I like Kain I have to admit Pence simply had more composure and insights than him. He is a much more balanced and reasonable person than Trump
  22. Not a big deal, it is possible?
  23. Trump wont get elected....you need to accept this as truth. Its okay I accept your trust But that is my point, the analogy is completely unreasonable. Two women joking about something that is funny but harmless is not the same as Trump saying he can grope any women he wants and get away with it You must see the difference ?
  24. Surly you cant get offended by that ? You insult Hilary and say she laughs at rape victims....you need to toughen up volo, life is hard
  25. I make worthless empty statements of course Thanks for the compliment but I'm no expert on the difference between a stripper and a hooker....I would assume the difference would be obvious?
