The US Election 2016, Part V
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 ?

European Refugee Crisis : Part 3
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

European Refugee Crisis : Part 3
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

The US Election 2016, Part V
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 ?

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

What You Did Today
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
