That's not how it works, Bruce. Did Churchill's policies result in the death and suffering of millions? Yes, they did, and therefore the comparison has legs. You can't just say "well they were brown people and history books don't mention it so it doesn't count and anyways the good outweighs the bad". alum I have been doing some research on this topic, read this link....there are other sources outside wiki that tell basically the same account if you dont trust what this link says https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengal_famine_of_1943 But in summary I'm not saying Churchill was this perfect leader, there is no such thing as perfect but the accusation " Churchill just let millions of Indians die " is not the complete story. There were other factors that influenced his decision not to send food aid, for example WW2 was at its height and to be honest the British had other priorities..anyway this is discussed in the link

You know, this is kind of have I've been feeling about most of the "serious discussion" threads lately... But Barti this discussion was hijacked and I think intentionally misunderstood by Vals and Hiro What alum basically posted several times was a logical and obvious point, which is below Mild mental retardation Approximately 85% of the mentally retarded population is in the mildly retarded category. TheirIQ score ranges from 50-75, and they can often acquire academic skills up to the 6th grade level.They can become fairly self-sufficient and in some cases live independently, with community andsocial support. I'm not sure why people kept asking questions like " but are you saying even mildly retarded people cant go to University " So the salient point would be " do we think a person with a 50-75 IQ can get into Varsity " It should be clear its highly unlikely ..not sure why this was so complicated?

I don't follow you. What misunderstanding would that be? I'm not suggesting they are not free to wave Mexican flags and talk about violently killing Americans and return the land to Mexico. Although I should point out if it were anglo-Mexicans doing that bulls--t in Sonora while waving US flags the Mexican Government would shut that down right the f--k now. But here they are completely free to do this and I have no problem with the act itself. But they need to understand it's pissing a lot of people off and that is a poor way to convince others of your political points. But the moment words turn to deeds and they fling a rock at the cops of beat the hell out of someone wearing a Trump T-shirt then it's jail time. And if the aggressor is a different ethnicity than the victim it sounds like a hate crime to me. I meant they are hiding behind free speech....what is there justification? Why do they feel they need to say this about white Americans?

Yeah, its annoying and counter productive to see people who were previously discriminated against now thinking its okay to say things like " white people must be beaten up " In South Africa this type of "free speech " doesnt get generally allowed on radio shows and trust me black South Africans have many reasons to want to say things like this but they normally dont Dont you think what is annoying you is a misunderstanding of the US view of free speech?

And who taught you about how to grow veg and fruit? Did you teach yourself I think its great, nice one

Stem cells. It's not as simple as "repairing telomeres = cancer". Read up on telomerase reverse transcriptase, apoptosis and cancer cells. The issue is really complex (as all cutting-edge science should be), and I'd probably make some fairly embarassing blunders trying to explain it. As a side note, this woman was trying to reverse a condition that involved abnormally short telomeres for her age (according to her own proprietary diagnostic tech). Short telomeres are linked to immune system problems. It's not the same as using gene therapy to secure eternal life, so her looking younger would be even more of a ridiculous PR stunt than the whole thing already is. paging Zoraptor... My undergraduate was in biochemistry & molecular biology.swers. There is something thats not common...someone who actually has studied what we debate about Do you know anything about cloning? I want to ask you something

I am crazy about Triss, I always want to Romance her ..I'm not use to Yennefer and I would expect her to show me more attention in the future if she expects Romance This game is everything I could ask for any non-isometric RPG....seriously its amazing how much thought went into design and questing, also the crafting and alchemy is very interesting

I'm interested in your garden, is this common is Canada and how many veg and fruits do you grow? Also do you grow this produce to sell or private consumption

Well there many people who support and identify with so called "SJW " causes and campaigns but they are more involved in SJ causes in RL ..so they dont call themselves "SJW" Like me for example, so if you generalize about all " SJW " then you going to include people who only support SJ causes in RL as there strong ties between SJW and people who support SJ in RL. It doesnt seem reasonable to call them all insane ? Sure, if you have no idea what the term means. That definition fits SJWs to a t. Thanks for linking that definition because now we have a standard to measure SJWs by. In future, professionals should be able to address the root cause at an early age before the retardation sets in. Hiro does it not bother your moral compass that you can generalize about millions of people like you do? Calling all SJW insane or irrational or whatever the latest insult is Surly it must bother you a bit...just a smidgen? The truth hurts. Oh I support the truth, I believe in the truth And if this was the truth you, know me Meshugger, I would be the first one supporting it Bruce, you aren't a real SJW because you support the free market. Yes thats correct....but I have never claimed to be SJW....during the GG furor that was probably the closest I have been to a SJW But I have distanced myself from that as I feel I was manipulated into automatically supporting anti-GG. Oerwinde do you realize you were one of the few people who made me realize my support of anti-GG was misplaced...I'm grateful that you unintentionally helped me but I have never forgotten that

What do you expect in California, it must be the state with the most immigrants living in it and a large Latino demographic Trump has declared war on immigrants, I would be amazed if there weren't protests in California Why do you lie? He declared war on illegals. But anyway, since they are waving the mexican flag and beating up gringos in gringo country, they should be very happy at his proposal to be able to return to Mexico. BruceVC would never let something as trivial as TRUTH get in the way of his hateful narrative. Hi Sharp_One "waves " My darling where have you been? Why you being aggressive ? What Truth are you referring to?

Its not fair....why do you Americans get all the cool things like Comic Conventions and theme parks....waaaaaaaaaaaaa

Please provide the link where I said that...I'm calling you out Volo, sorry

I had such a nice day today on my leave , I went to gym in the morning. Then I did some banking for most of the morning and in the early afternoon I carried on playing Witcher 3 and I just made myself a nice Spaghetti Bolonaise for dinner...and now I plan to carry on playing W3

Hmm, I wonder what the implications for Uber and Lyft are with young kids? It sounds like Denver might be the best option, plus I can always rent a car to make it easier to get around. You guys should try to meet for drink? If Hurlshot is in Denver anyway it would seem to be a waste to not at least try to get together for a nice lunch or dinner ?

It's probably safe to say that even the mildest level of intellectual disability precludes a successful university application. 1. What's 85% of? It's right there in the quote. Y'know, if "ability to parse written text that is right in front of you" is an academic skill below the 6th grade level, I may actually have some bad news for you... In any case, I took the liberty of bolding it for your convenience. Using the numbers given in the source link and the wonders of simple arithmetics, we can easily determine that it covers 0,9-1.1 million people in the US. Symptoms: And yet you didn't answer the second part which is you're suggesting retarded people, even at the mildest level, can't get into University? In your own words, Y'know, if "ability to parse written text that is right in front of you" is an academic skill below the 6th grade level, I may actually have some bad news for you... Game. Over. I don't think there's anything ill-conceived about asking people to not call those who disagree with their political opinions developmentally challenged. I agree, I find the whole generalization and characterization annoying and unnecessary

How active is it? I have logged on a few times and left after about 10 minutes What abuse do you receive, do you mind going into detail ?

But surly that question is obvious ? Even mildly retarded would have a very difficult time gaining entry

You're confusing the issue Bruce which is understandable. What you're trying to say is you identify with people with a mob mentality who are using social advocacy as a crutch to vent their frustration through the internet and in real life campaigns. And the SJWs dress up their mob mentality as being political correct to get away with their hypocrisy. I believe that's check and mate! I can see we are never going to find any common ground on this debate....lets just leave it

You must,...but since I'm currently played W3 I'm horribly biased...and I'll probably get to play the expansions as part of my first play through But I very, very seldom ever replay any game ..in fact only GTA IV, I dont like the fact I know how the game ends with any replay..that's what puts me off

Lexx this game looks good....are there any Romance options ?

No, why would I want to change my mind ? Lets say for argument sake we could somehow change our minds there is absolutely no way I would ever consider changing my mind ...I like myself and I'm happy with my thought patterns the way I rationalize things Of course we can always improve on things but that doesn't mean I want a refund for my psyche

That's not how it works, Bruce. Did Churchill's policies result in the death and suffering of millions? Yes, they did, and therefore the comparison has legs. You can't just say "well they were brown people and history books don't mention it so it doesn't count and anyways the good outweighs the bad". What do you mean I can't just say " something " ....I just said it didn't I ? Thats a joke by the way but of course you raise some valid points, I dont know much about how much Churchill is directly/indirectly responsible for death of millions of Indians. I need to do some research about this and get back to you but thanks for the link, its a good starting point for me
