You seem to forget that this is Ted Cruz that you're talking about. Few people display such dishonest character traits such as he does. Which is why I included the word "appear". I was watching this whole Ted Cruz event, its weird but I seem to dislike Cruz more than Trump and I'm not sure why as he hasnt been nearly as offensive or divisive as Trump Cruz decided to bank on a Trump loss in November, he obviously hopes the party will then unite behind him with his " you see I told you not to follow Trump " Its a bold move but probably the best strategy under the circumstances...the thing is after the whole Trump circus the Republican party is going to be understandably under serious introspection and pressure going forward and the question will be asked "how do we win back the US public " And I dont think someone like Cruz represents a progressive new Republican party that they would want

It's not a question of technology, it's a question of will. Butter meet knife. Also remember the Roman Empire, America is not the only analogy. It's also not a matter of technology in a sense that they will not fight us with wooden sticks. assault rifles and bombs are deadly enough, and they MIGHT be ready to use bio/chem weapon. They do not need airforce to fight us in our cities if they will have similar numbers but greater will for sacrifices and combat readiness. Rome also fell and it was mainly due to economic issues, political corruption and inRome bickering, plus most of their military was made of auxiliaries, who were basically various populations on a Roman pay check. I wonder if we will have this forum and enough people alive in 50 years to discuss this. I'll be happy do admit "I was wrong" on my deathbed, but I doubt I will be. Yes this forum will be alive and the EU will still exist and I'll tell you the same thing I always say " the EU will be fine " Ironically its not Islamic extremism or some external domestic threat that has ever really threatened to collapse an institution like the EU....the only realistic threat will come from you guys. Actual citizens of the EU who may think right wing parties offer the best solution and you have the unlikely outcome of multiple countries leaving and then Germany decides to go back to being a separate country But the chance of that is so remote I wouldn't worry at all

So to explain in more detail, the worst crimes and unbelievable violence in SA is committed by a small percentage of black people who dont understand the reality of the country and have literally lost any sense of moral compass or compunction When these guys are interviewed after being caught they almost in all cases have the same background and reality Uneducated, unemployed and a complete lack of human emotions. This is not normal and Apartheid absolutely created or contributed towards this type of lack of humanity Its not an excuse, this is the result of 50 years of trying to mentally rewire people

lol, Bruce pretend be Black. P.S. From my personal Exp. most fitted to Russian people are Spaniards/Latin Americans, French, Italians. Shame poor Putin, having to smile and pretend he cares about black South Africans must have been tough for him Oby there is no need to tell people in SA the truth about Russia we rather let people believe Russia does consider SA a friend

I have to be honest that story sounds difficult to believe....how can murder be an accident ? And we have 50 murders a day in SA so its not a big deal to report on this type of event What probably really happened with them is there neighbors were murdered ....and that act alone made them decide to immigrate. I dont have issues with white people immigrating because of the high crime or low education levels but the reality is white people implemented Apartheid for 50 years and we all lived happily through that not but now as a country we have to deal with the social consequences of that 50 years and high crime is one consequence....crime and murder is much higher within the black community So I feel white people should at least try and fix things They were rural. My understanding is white farmers being murdered for their land is not as uncommon as it should be down there. Okay, farmers yes....are they Afrikaans or English Yes there have been incidents of what is known as farm murders, what exacerbates this crime is there has been no real land transformation so many black people have no job and also no land and its 22 years into the new SA So is some places in SA there is additional resentment towards farmers and then criminals act out by these brutal farm killings,..,..and they are very extreme like whole families been murdered

Not my problem. Lolwut? How i can compensate your lack of Russian cultural background? Just imagine, people live in Russian culture from the birth, it's their constant environment and they easily recognise (by reflexes/instincts) all these hidden messages/images/ in art/literature. You never can become such skillfull just because you are borned/raised/lived in different culture/society. Also other problems make your wish to understand Russian culture so impossible. 1. Language. You don't known Russian language => you don't understand their thinking patterns. Reading Russian literature in English translation is very stupid idea because these languages so alien to each other. 2. Cultural difference. WASP culture is totally different from Russian culture. We have different values, goals etc, English language can even don't have proper words for describe them. You just can't understand their motives and reasons what cause some Russian actions/reactions. It's some sort of blinds spot in your mind. Same thing vice versa, but i don't pretend to understanding Western culture. 3. Lifestyle. For understanding Russians you must live in Russia. Without this experience of survivalism and understanding Russian environment/society you never understand Russia. 4. You newer can understand melancholy/depression of Russians just because you can't have such girls what Russians have (Russians are satiated by their lifes so strongly, that their mortido/self-destructive behaviour grows enormously). You never take such life expirience what Russians have by default. In other words try to educate you about Russian culture is quite useless thing and i don't want waste time for such form of activity. Oby I am one of the few people on this forum who understands Russian culture perfectly...remember BRICS So explain it to me and then the other guys can read what you say?

You know what would be ideal, if I could come to the USA and make some minor structural changes to the US constitution...just to ensure better social cohesion Call it what you like, as long as we get you somewhere safe and away from that hellhole. BTW I'm currently working with a South African lady, are they all that pretty and funny or is she a rarity? Well I do think South African women are very attractive but I'm glad you meant someone who is additionally funny....what does she think about SA government or Trump? I don't know, politics isn't polite table talk and I rather only touch friendly topics. She wont get offended, its normal for us to debate politics I want to see her view of current SA....maybe just say something simple like " how are things in SA " ?She will appreciate the interest I will guess and say she will respond by saying something like " our government is very corrupt "

This is a random post but its interesting, in response You dont want the majority of white South Africans moving to the USA, only people like me who have a more progressive view of society There are a percentage of white people in SA who play a critical role in the economy..you dont want these people leaving SA due to the negative economic impact You dont need to be a citizen of any country to have real ties to it, this could be historical or something like investment

Fighter whats the opinion of people you know about the credibility of the latest Russian sports doping scandal? On CNN they were interviewing people in Moscow on the street and most people seem to think this is a Western strategy to undermine the Russian people Whats your view?

You are very good like that and the funny thing is once I read your post I could see exactly where I was getting confused hat's not what you said in the post I responded to, you're moving the goalposts." (ATTEMPT TO REFOCUS: "Obama has suggested police need to be killed?" is not the same as "Obama has suggested that Police are trying to kill African-Americans")

Yes this is 100 % relevant and I have raised this point several times in a different way in an attempt to make some of our EU members feel better....yet people seem to dismiss it There cannot possibly be some kind of Islamification of Europe by these immigrants or somehow European culture and values get eroded due to a surreptitious Islamic cultural attack because the majority of these refugees wont convince most people in the EU to convert to Islam ...and they definitely dont have the economic or military resources to force Europeans to convert so I dont get the concern?

Now I understand, thank you Amentep why cant other people be as helpful as you

I wonder where they got that idea. May be from the first African American president?Well thats exactly what it seemed you were suggesting from the post above but no matter, it was just a misunderstanding That post inferred Obama gave them the idea Police were trying to kill blacks. Yes but thats my point, Obama did not give the idea Police were trying to kill African Americans....or am I really confused

Yep, and he effectively destroy Turkey right now. Westlings can't into strategic thinking. :lol: Well Bruce, he is currently the biggest pain in the ass for Europe... If EU will support him despite all of what is happening, then there will be even more anti EU sentiment rising, because this is direct pissing and ****ting onto the very principles of democratic foundation of Europe... It also amuses me how are you defending the equality among people, but on othet hand, we should just support Erdogan and his lackeys, because Turkey is "important strategic partner" *mindblown* Nothing new with Bruce to be extremely contradictory to his own stances and beliefs Chilloutman how rude .....that must be at least the 12th most rudest thing that has been said to me today

If EU will support him despite all of what is happening, then there will be even more anti EU sentiment rising, because this is direct pissing and ****ting in the face of the basic principles of democratic foundations of Europe... It also amuses me how are you defending the equality among people, but on other hand, we should just support Erdogan and his lackeys and overlook his purges, because Turkey is "important strategic partner" *mindblown* Okay lets unpack this because we clearly not looking at this Turkey importance in the same way Can you explain first, just summarize why you dont like Turkey and why they a pain for the EU? You have mentioned this before but I just want your latest opinion

I wonder where they got that idea. May be from the first African American president? Well thats exactly what it seemed you were suggesting from the post above but no matter, it was just a misunderstanding

No thats an egregious simplification of the reality of the world nowadays and why we have to deal with issues like Islamic Extremism Its ignores other much more relevant global and social events like the Arab Spring that have contributed much more to the instability in the ME than the invasion of Iraq

Yes Oby the West does support Erdogan because he has strategic importance as Turkey is important around regional stability

Not sure what a blog about painted 25mm miniatures entitled More Medieval Muslims and Halflings. etc. has to do with Turkish warships disappearing but I'm sure Oby sees some direct connection. you actual read oby posts? he could secretly slip in the location o' el dorado and we would never know. ... what else do you do for entertainment? french kiss light sockets? date strippers with daddy issues? watch supernatural? HA! Good Fun! Somebody has to keep him honest on occasion date strippers with daddy issues? No that would be Bruce. What can I say, I care about mankind !!!

Sorry I still dont get what you mean My whole point is some ex-marines who have PTSD believe there is a orchestrated campaign to kill African Americans You then said Obama has contributed towards this view...I said " Obama has never suggested this " I'm not sure what I am misunderstanding?

I'm misunderstanding you, when did I suggest Obama has been suggesting Police need to be killed?

I wonder where they got that idea. May be from the first African American president? No Come on, its grotesquely unfair to suggest Obama has suggested that police in the USA need to be killed
