Go fish? Its relaxing right...how much effort is in time to go fishing now as opposed to chilling at home, thats how I would decide The only effort in fishing is getting to the water. In my case that takes about 10 minutes. Yes but you need to pack your kit and then travel somewhere, then you still need to actually fish and maybe you dont catch anything..and you very fortunate because of your access to the Cold Creek Look I have been never fishing in my life, its one of those things I have this nostalgic view on...I'm sure its not as romantic as I imagine

I can only assume that you're not from planet Earth, as the "EU" you talk about has nothing to do with the one we have here. The EU is just as natural and "organical" as the nation state. Europe has a long history of close contact between peoples, constant migrations, cultural exchange, cosmopolitanism, common values, coexistence of ethnic groups, religions, and traditions. It has also a long history of the negations of all those things, and the bloodiest and most destructive times were those where disunity and nationalistic fervour were at their height. The EU is the attempt to draw on the former and further cooperation and coexistence under a common roof. It is a common project of the peoples involved, not the bogeyman of centralisation some people put forward. The EU is a step in consolidating the common European heritage in a world where it becomes increasingly difficult for small states to stand on their own, and where these positive aspects of European history are still under threat - not in the least from those within Europe who thrive on antagonism, factionalism, and conflict. P.S. As someone who usually votes conservative in Europe, I would very much appreciate it if Meshugger's position were not called "conservative". One of the core beliefs of European conservativism, as I see it and has been in my country for the last 60 years, is exactly the support for European integration and unity. Varana you lecture histiory in RL? I always find your posts very informative If Meshugger is not Conservative what would you classify his views as?

You have yet to make a point to get. Even assuming I ignore the obvious impossibility of it, why should I give a **** about the continued preservation of the specific cultures, races, traditions and languages that exist right now. And this is almost in complete contradiction to your initial point. By your own argument it sounds like a single culture would be better for "social cohesion". Stop holding back man, tell me why you're against mixed relationships. Hi Baro "waves " Where have you been?

And that's why Donald will be USA new president. Sharp_One is comes as no surprise to me that you are a Trump supporter, in fact I would have bet money on it

This mustn't be seen as a generalization that applies to all Police in the USA, these are more certain incidents and they not the normal behavior of how Police in the USA conduct themselves

I have a similar issue with wind blowing directly on me, the solution on particularly hot nights is those mobile fans that rotate ....so the fan only sometimes will blow on your wife but its not consistent but it does keep the temperature down. Or you just aim the fan on you and let it rotate, that way you will feel the direct benefit but your wife wont

Volo if you are going to say something as ludicrous as " 22 white children murdered because they have toys " then the onus is on you to produce links? Do you have credible links:?

It's the era of peace and love that Obola's election ushered in. Geez WOD.....pass the razor-blades wont you Thats a gloomy and melancholic view of the current state of the USA

No, no and NO. A closer union is a centralization of power. It is the erosion of nation-states and people will lose their sense of belonging to something greater and it will be replaced by nothing sacred at all. It will destroy languages, customs, traditions and ethnic groups. It will be little death spiritually and ultimately the destruction of the west. Meshugger you have the Internet, you will always have the Internet and that alone is like your community. Dont be so concerned with losing things like language, customs and ethnic groups. These things will always have purpose and exist within places like the EU, the only thing that may change is how relevant some of these things may be

It's a reaction to recent shootings by the police. That's pretty much what the march was about. We dont know yet, apparently one of the snipers/attackers was cornered and said " the end is coming " which has a definite religious undertone to it ...so the BLM march could just have been used as the attackers knew police would be visible and in high numbers http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/07/08/at-least-5-dallas-police-officers-killed-6-more-wounded-in-protest-shooting-obama-calls-attack-vicious.html

This may be more related to some religious cult, not Islamic extremism, so it will be interesting to see who is responsible

http://edition.cnn.com/2016/07/08/us/philando-castile-alton-sterling-protests/index.html This is a big story and we still waiting for all updated information but there appears to be multiple snipers who targeted policeman at a BLM march

Not really, I find you normally opposed to any reasonable SJ initiatives...lets be honest for a moment

Sorry I dont believe thats accurate ....can you provide some links?

GD please continue to point it out when I do it But guys sometimes my point is valid but I need to explain further. Its interesting because I think you guys think my " mandatory apology " law cant be implemented but it can if a culture develops in a country like the USA where through a social movement the majority of citizens decide they tired of the vitriol and personal attacks politicians use against each It wont be legally enforced but it becomes a point of honor where there will a natural acceptance of it as politicians want to keep there constituents happy.Trust me if you know you have to publicly apologize you will probably be careful before accusing people of something...the overall offensive rhetoric should be reduced

No I wouldnt make it mandatory in your example as there are so few examples of that it would be unnecessary Volo this mandatory apology law cannot be used indiscriminately to support some weak social development.....it should only be enforced in extreme cases like Trumpo

I hope Trump now apologizes for calling her a criminal ...it should be mandatory in these types of cases

"" a teleportation portal " Shame thats cute

Vals somehow has the ability to post video links and if its even remotely about any SJ issue I will find it offensive and I'm normally not over sensitive but this video made me laugh.....I watched to the end, it is funny

It sounded ideal actually, sometimes you have a certain plan but change it and its still fun and fulfilled

Oh, okay so it is funny....I suppose we all have different sense of humor

Raithe This joke is awful, do you think our American friends find this funny? Oh and I'm not suggesting you are the only who doesn't understand what Americans find funny....no one ever seems to laugh at my jokes or assumes Im being serious and then sometimes people get really irritated with me And we cant both be unfunny ?

Yes this is the normal comment that someone makes who wishes they had a high IQ, realizes they simply dont but then uses modern technology to distract himself

Hadn't come up. It was drab. Once an American naval ship put in for a visit. To me the Americans looked like pudgy pink piglets. To them we must have looked grey and cadaverous. WOD this is a huge development. I cant believe you only raising this now , this changes or adds context to everything you have said around politics....this is a huge update. You have had debates with our friends in the EU and I always assumed your knowledge was just about Texas but this really adds to the narrative But if its okay I have many questions but not now, do you mind answering questions at a later stage? I don't mind answering questions, but depending on what they are you might PM me, as not everyone may be interested in that kind of exchange. Thanks But I'm not sure why you think this is not interesting to any member who has the even the slightest interest in politics and history I will be very surprised if anyone says " stories about actual life in the USSR dont concern me "
