You close to the reality of the world but you just have it the wrong way around, if you want a prosperous and happy society you need to trust the West and follow there systems of government and ideology where applicable Think about Russia and the economic crisis you face, if you had followed the Western system of economic growth you wouldn't be in this recession you are in

You may not think you are heaping scorn on the rape of women but I promise you this is exactly how you coming across I have always thought you were dismissive of the rape of women and you keep raising the rape of men as a distraction so you dont have to address and accept the societal rape of women

If anyone laughs at a rape victim I would be appalled and highly offended But she didnt laugh at rape victims, you can ask Shady as he sent me the link and he read it as well

I agree, volo expects people to treat Trump with manners and not be critical I think volo thinks Trump is just some normal well meaning politician but I dont mean to target volo but he reminds me of many of Trumps supporters. They have this almost incomprehensible view Trump is a good guy who treats people well and knows how to " fix " the USA ? Just like you expect them to not be critical of Clinton. She is every bit as nasty and uncivil as Trump. GD it feels like we have the same debate every few days or so But please can we use some honest perspective of the actual two personalities and mannerisms of Trump and Clinton Its unfair to say Clinton is as nasty as Trump, he has offended so many people with his indifference and lack of consideration around his choice of words and bravado Clinton hasnt offended nearly as many people or minorities, for example Trump has offended me several times but I will agree Clinton has trust issues. But does that make her nasty ?

The abuse of women and children is a real and serious societal problem that every country grapples with on different levels The rape of women, which is relatively common, is real and is something we should be very concerned. about. Volo are you saying that the general rape statistics of women are wrong We have a real problem in SA with rape and activists do also call it " rape culture". Personally I dont like using the word " culture " as it may create the wrong view that rape is a part of SA culture which means we are all responsible in some way ?

Something else I forgot to mention, until about 4 years I worked in the Middle East for about 5 years but not continuously. We worked on projects for 2-3 weeks at a time at various countries. In summary I had several issues with almost all the countries in the ME because their local laws were and are so conservative ....foreigners like me are treated well but you have no legal rights that are automatically given to any Muslim who immigrates to any Western country Now I understand the ME falls under Sharia law but thats not my point as no allowances are basically made to accommodate Westerners yet the West really accommodates Muslims when they immigrate So in the ME for example Very little effort to allow for Christianity or have churches (I'm agnostic but its the principle)http://edition.cnn.com/2015/02/27/middleeast/christianity-middle-east/index.html Womens rights and gay rights ignored or they are horribly discriminated against https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_in_the_Middle_East https://www.culturalsurvival.org/ourpublications/csq/article/law-and-women-middle-east You have no real legal rights or human rights in many ME countries like UAEhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights_in_Dubai Now we as Westerners have to accept this, you have no choice so for me this burka development is simple Even if countries in the EU were fine with the burkas they have now decided to change there minds, I support this 100 % as any country in the ME would pass any law they want and have no concern with how it impacted Westerners And the whole burka outlawing is not against the actual Koran so I have even less sympathy for people who refuse to adhere to it. If people in France want to wear burkas thats fine, there are plenty of Muslim countries they can go live in who will accept this

trust you to find this one video But lets at least make the comparison fair. This barking incident was never intended to offend anyone ....it was even on CNN

GD there is always time to change the decorum and general vibe of any campaign, Trump would be seen in a positive light for apologizing....and it would be unexpected

https://www.today.ng/news/world/172817/trump-backtracks-illegal-immigration Trumps gone too far again ...it now looks like Trump wont be deporting the 11 million Latinos He also needs to immediately apologize to Hillary Clinton for calling her a bigot, this is the best thing to do considering his rudeness http://time.com/4465543/donald-trump-hillary-clinton-bigot-mississippi-rally/

I think countries should be able to ban the burka without being told " you Islamophobic " The Burka is not mandatory in the Islamic faith and France has been the victim of numerous domestic attacks and will take numerous steps to address this and make its citizens feel safe http://edition.cnn.com/2014/07/01/world/europe/france-burqa-ban/index.html

Uh, the naked statue of Trump in Central Park? And you have to consider the source here. Is it an accurate comparison if we Have a naked statue of a man, Trump in this case but the statue is just him naked. Its an artist impression.....it means nothing Juxtapose Hilary and Monica with some stupid caption. But Monica had an affair with the husband of Hilary and she was humiliated when it all came out....imagine how Hilary felt? One insult is real and caused real life pain ....and one isn't. How can they be the same?

It's all part of our mental health outreach program here on the Obsidian Forums™. It isn't about what the OP is saying, but rather that he feels he is being heard and cared for. Good work folks. Thats convenient, his profile is exactly the same as most members....he should fit right in

Thanks Once again Hilary Clinton has to be criticized through some pathetic and childish way, seriously what male politician faces this kind of mockery ? Oby you Russians should be more concerned with fixing your broken economy....thats what should concern you

What is the purpose of this image? What does it say

I love using big English words where appropriate, its not about coming across as clever its just about vocabulary But what are we supposed to do ?

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3756674/Nigel-Farage-share-stage-Donald-Trump-discuss-Republican-presidential-candidate-learn-Brexit-success.html I see Nigel Farage is aligning himself publicly with Trump.....another " credible and appreciated " endorsement of the Trump campaign

I don't often make soup, but when I do I usually make my own broth, then add a boatload of . We get OXO is a spread format that you use on Toast, I have never ever seen this " OXO In-a-Mug" before. I am always interested how different food products produced by global companies, like Knorr, are sometimes unique to certain countries

Produce the link of Strein saying that or it didn't happen, your word alone is not enough to convince me in anyway

Lmfao! I can't stop laughing lol Dont you love how he is basically completely dismissive of the sport he is commenting on... " this is basically a very boring sport "

http://www.altdriver.com/lmao/the-best-olympic-commentary-ever/ Funniest commentary I have ever seen

I'm not GD, but it's a situation where you have to keep the bigger picture in mind, like how likely is the candidate to actually damage the country. Trump may be the off the cuff talking buffoon with all the social grace of a British soccer hooligan from the 80's, but as mentioned previously in this thread, odds are he'll be mired down in opposition from both factions. Clinton on the other hand is devious, lying and manipulative enough to actually get active damage done over a 4 year period compared to "just" 4 years of the US being in a state of limbo. Gothfuscious !!! Thats a very negative view of the impending Hilary Clinton victory and presidential reign ?

But GD I'm sure you will recognize if there is only the 2 of them to choose then Hilary overall is the best choice, despite some trust issues ?

Meshugger what is your opinion on Trump, your view is unclear and vague Do you support him or not?

And if those things you mentioned are real I might entertain the notion.....but Volo lets be honest, I lived through Apartheid, I would assume you would trust my judgement on what is racism and what is not BLM doesnt want to kill policeman or white people
