And if they work for NSA- whose purpose is to subvert others/ protect US communications/ internet etc- then you'd be right to since their technical security is very good, and has to be very good. If on the other hand they work for Hillary Rodham Clinton or the DNC chances are they're grossly incompetent (but not grossly negligent) rather than elite and their security is very very bad to the extent it barely exists for the former case. sy feeling we get from their suffering will wilt straight away once the secrets in our party start showing up on the front page of newspapers. I frankly think the world has changed in ways that destroy personal privacy. That will undoubtedly be bad. Might be good. Probably a combination of both, but we live in a world where increasingly the only security we have in our privacy is the insignificance of our lives. Once you become a big enough target, people will start shooting at you. This is also the only real defense we little guys have against all manner of cyber crime. If someone really wanted to crack my personal router, they could do it. It's just not worth even a trivial amount of time for any of the people with resources to do it. You have an interesting way of constantly surprising me with some of your views, its fun You definitely are not predictable at the moment, your first post I ever read was where you said you would wear that dress if Trump lost and my initial impression of you was you are a hardcore Trump supporter and there is nothing wrong with that but of course on principle I would have held you to your bet but then I realized I was wrong about you and as GD said no one could hold a new member to such a bet But this post you made now, do you think you insignificant ? In what context do you think you insignificant and whats your view on Gun Control in the USA?

Interesting questions, I am 41 so I voted in the first multiracial election in SA and always vote But I havent done any of the other things ..we are new Democracy so those things arent as established in SA But I dont think I would have an issue with those things ?

Not sure how either of those points is honestly relevant to point " the EU wont become an Islamic nation "

Volo how are you going to feel if Hilary does become president ? Have you considered how you might respond ?

But that would be a silly thing to say because of the history of the EU....its not a Muslim region and never will become one so to even suggest it will become one seems like ...fear mongering ?

http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=33773416 I found this link but it doesnt reveal anything that indicts Churchill? What am I missing?

Thats a bit unfair Churchill was instrumental as one of the reasons the UK was able to persevere against the Nazis...lets give him the credit he deserves

I'd be OK with some tax increases if they went to deficit reduction. But you know she's going to spend it all and then some, and leave us in a worse financial situation then even now. Are these apparent tax increases legitimate...its the first time I have heard about it but my knowledge of the American tax system and perceived changes to it is lackingBut you will also end up paying extra money under Trump, for example how is the Trump Wall going to be funded? Use the money they're now spending on supporting illegal children pouring across the border. Okay but I'm not sure if that budget will either be enough or can be utilized to pay for something as controversial as the Trump Wall?

Yeah that was funny, he even went into more detail at the time http://edition.cnn.com/2015/08/04/politics/donald-trump-mexico-wall-pay/index.html And this was after he had really offended basically the whole of Mexico by calling them criminals .....people in Mexico took that seriously and many people were understandably angry

The worlds not sick Oby? We are living in the greatest era of mankind, the solution to most of Russia internal problems is to implement a proper form of Democracy but that would mean Putin probably stepping down and a more progressive person coming to power who doesnt see the West as an enemy

Really? I work with a bunch of lecherous 50 year olds. Tiresome to hear how hot the coffee shop girl is. I mean it is true, but come on. Also I can go into real societal and rationale reasons why going to a strip club has got nothing to do with age but the truth is I was joking with Hurlshot because he often states he has never been to a strip club....you know what he is like, he means well but he tends to think all people should follow his moral code of acceptable behavior So knowing this I made a comment which was exactly what he wouldn't do ....I thought it would be funny, I keep forgetting how my sense of humor is often misunderstood

http://www.citizen.co.za/1226263/all-whites-must-be-hacked-and-killed-eff-candidate/?ref=yfp Just so you guys in the USA dont think you the only country where people make uninformed and irrelevant comments about other races

You must believe it, its true A sense of humour has no age limit

I have heard this before but is it true? Do you have a credible link because I am not sure that was the main reason

I can imagine you have a long list of strip clubs you will be visiting ...you lucky fish

Yes this is huge issue for me and its a blatant inconsistency around the global responsibity countries need to take for there own citizens or in this casre Muslim countries taking responsibity for fellow Muslims Merkel meant well with the initial offer to take in refugees and even though I now think it was a mistake because of how the initial offer was abused Gernany was prepared to help about 1.3 million Syrians...even that was a hugely generous offer But what happened....suddenly it became a free for all and people from countries like Sudan, Iraq and Afghanistan assumed they could come to the EU. This was never the initial agreement and this has put unnecessary social and political pressure on the EU and some of its structures and member countries But this doesnt change the fact I am a huge supporter of Merkel and Germany and there role in the EU. Mistakes will happen but this shouldnt undermine or negate the greater good of the EU

It's because you don't known Russian language. You right, that is a big reason ....I know if I could speak in Russian they would be much more friendly so yes its not the fact they being rude

You have highlighted my point perfectly, many of you guys in the EU who frequent this forum have certain negative vies on the EU I understand why you think certain things, for example I understand the general frustration around the immigrants so please dont think I'm trying to tell you what you should be concerend about But fundematally most of the core issues some of you guys have with the EU seems to be around lack of soverignty and how you resent certain laws been forced down from Brussels But this is where we disagree, its not realistically possibly to have a union like the EU without the central government, so if your real gripe is about Brussels that cannot change unless you leave the EU? And I know this is annoying but the EU is suppose to be about shared responsibilty ....so when Gemany insisted the whole EU must take in a percentage of overall refugees they actually did this from a logical perspective as its suppose to be about shared burdens The only issue is its not fair for every single country in the EU to just now accept people who may come from countries that have no real understanding of the values of a Western democracy. And also I'm tired of the double standards the West is judged by....why should there be this expected view that the EU must take in all these refugees when none of the Sunni Muslim countries in the ME are prepared to take even one fellow Muslim?

Yeah, who does Cameron think he is? This is Western "Democracies", don't ever make the mistake of listening to the people or worse, enact the will of the people, they might just start getting all the wrong ideas. You right Gorthie but I wouldn't suggest other EU countries follow a referendum unless a right wing party comes to power like in Greece and a referendum was necessary The reality of the world is sometimes the majority of people in a country may believe something but that doesnt mean its right

Its not about money, you probably wont believe this but when I go to strip clubs I have to first build a connection with any of the ladies before I pay for anything. A connection means I need to talk to them, buy them a drink or 2 and feel comfortable talking to them, it cant just be about money for me. This normally takes 40 minutes or so But the Russian ladies generally dont like the type of small talk I enjoy. They want business and I understand this but this makes us incompatible

Source for that claim? I certainly don't doubt that there are a lot of refugees with mental problems - coming from a war zone, losing family, taking the grueling pseudo-Darwinian route to Europe ("only the strong survive")... How does someone know that "a lot" fake that? Yeah, imagine living in Afghanistan...during the 1980's you had the USSR invasion, then a civil war where the Taliban won and ran a violent and barbaric form of government and the USA invasion due to 9/11....so you argue the country has been destablized for over 30 years Now imgaine the mental state of some of the people living there .

Wait a second...didn't the Obsidian think tank determine that PRISM is useless and you have a better chance getting hit by a booger flicked by a Bigfoot than you do catching a mook with PRISM? Gfted1 are you prepared to share who you are voting for and if you dont want to I understand but how do you feel about the state of the US political arena at the moment ?

Wait a second...didn't the Obsidian think tank determine that PRISM is useless and you have a better chance getting hit by a booger flicked by a Bigfoot than you do catching a mook with PRISM? Indeed there was rejection of Prism because of the concern of private data being scanned ....and I assume people are worried normal law abiding citizens will get harrassed by the federal government. But I dont think the functionality or effectiveness was questioned ? As I mentioned last time this would be no issue for me because Prism would be used to track and find people who would be considered terrorists ...so the majority of Americans would never even know about Prism

Hilarious. Snowden actually commented and stated that if Russia were responsible, the US government would know and it wouldn't be "speculation," suggesting (big surprise) Russia isn't behind this. Trump believing the very media rigged in Hillary's favor is priceless though. An aside, but the faith in Snowden's anything is sort of funny. Please explain what reason anyone has to distrust anything said by Snowden. The man got in trouble because he showed integrity and transparency when the government did not. Snowden is like Assange but even worse because he actually worked for the NSA, he betrayed his country to reveal secretive programs like Prism. And conviniently ended up travelling through China and ended up in Russia and you can be guaranteed he shared everything he could with both those countries But I'm glad Prism is now revealed, it should be used to address domestic terrorist attacks from home grown terrorism
