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

Dont make the grave mistake of assuming Trump actually understands the consequences of his words Never give him the credit of having to actually be aware of the possible consequences of what he says.....his supporters believe anything he says and will just make excuses for these types of controversies so he doesnt care

Mani its some unexpected good news, Woldan is back and kicking

Ah, you got me there! For every natural lifter its a goal to be able to pick a barbell -weighing as much as the lifter itself- up from the floor, clean it to the shoulders and shoulder press it without any kind of leg drive or jerking, just with raw upper body strength. The thing with lifting is, the bigger you are the harder bodyweight lifts become. Which means a 70kg guy pressing 70 is not as impressive as a 90kg guy pressing 90. I just did that lift, weighing in at 104kg / 230lbs, and I had more in the tank. I'm super happy. And now I'll shut up before people start die from boredom. You were definitely missed so you must have built some real friendships....Mani will be very happy to see you, he reminded me that you had just vanished But when you say toxic what do you mean if you dont mind sharing? Things are very exciting and uncertain at the moment with the US election but since I support Hilary Im happy

Where you been? People were worried, seriously you just vanished Good to have you back

What is your definition of a Muslim apologist? Can you give an example?

IMO, that's different. You didn't cause that situation. I don't blame the child either, but if someone were to cause a situation and then "thoughtfully" spares me the "painful" details of their involvement, well, I have no understanding. Spent the weekend painting the kitchen, fishing and garage drinking. Caught a nice size catfish too! EDIT: Quoted the wrong post, meant to reference the quote about your mom passing. I would say your point from your perspective is reasonable, I understand why you raised it with me even if we dont necessarily agree There are some people who do prefer the truth all the time, even if it may seem harsh to others
