What I find funny is you disparaging Australia on its refugee policy in this thread but in the past, you said there was some justification for it. Yes, I understand the policy...but that doesnt mean everything about it I agree with ..people have been setting themselves on fire...you need to least make those jungle hell holes more hospitable http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-04-27/refugee-sets-himself-on-fire-in-nauru-protest/7363530

Some would settle for being allowed to take a bathroom break. Golden age, no doubt. But for whom? Yes the austerity is still necessary....its not a big deal, I know you will come through it stronger
-
Oh yes he does. And I was correct with his dismissive, no massive problems in Sweden post. Just some minor problems that's all. Nothing to see here folks. Trust me he is one of the very people on this forum who can have a debate with making it personal, he always posts links and he often explains points when random people ask questions He is very sincere and candid ...not a troll at all
-
Here is Bruce the racist in all his glory. Sorry...whats the correct way to refer to them?
-
No. If anyone's trolling, it's you. Your dismissive, oh there's no massive problems in Sweden. It's just some problems, nothing at all. I ask a question and I believe either 1) you know there's a lot (and I would say massive) problems in Sweden but don't want to acknowledge them in public, or 2) you have your head buried in the sand. Yeah go away Elerond. You have nothing of worth to say. Hiro thats not a very nice thing to say...Elerond never ever Trolls...you are one who refused to justify his initial view
-
I know its complicated Hiro, refugees arriving on boats and expecting citizenship? But lets be honest even the Abo's arent integrated properly ...or they not very happy in your society? Or is this wrong?
-
As I said to Bruce. Just some problems about a couple of things. Nothing really. I would argue they have been more successful at overall integration of foreigners than Oz? You guys dont excel at this
-
I've proven you wrong on many occasions. Let me ask you this question. Would you say the problems in Sweden are small like Elerond suggests and not massive at all? Yes they not massive, they just about social structures and some changes to incorporate the refugees I admire the Swedes
-
Blow that Strawman Bruce. Keep Blowing... Just prove me wrong....what is the big news you read about Sweden? Surly you must know what you read?
-
I doubt Hiro will post anything meaningful...this seems more like one of those " oh Sweden you bad country for trying to really embrace the immigrants ". posts ...there are many people who feel Sweden has gone to far, I support Sweden and I hope the integration goes well as time goes on
-
Depends what you define by massive problems....what are you referring to?
-
It's not semantics at all. You set a criteria that included extreme poverty. By your own link, 1.2 Billion live in extreme poverty as of 2010. You have also said: "more people live outside of extreme poverty than ever before" And yet, while one could argue that people do live inside of extreme poverty, pushing the dollar/wage up could in fact be hiding the real figure of poverty and extreme poverty. Interesting to note a dollar/wage value has been set as the line between poverty and extreme poverty. And there are criticisms of this by your own link. Also, by your own link and the trajectory of zero extreme poverty, wouldn't we be heading to a golden age around 2030-2035 by your own metrics? Why is your definition of the golden age a world where no poverty exists?
-
But she had her doubts and clearly expressed them? Bad decision there IMO
-
It makes perfect sense. Let me ask you this. If you are making true statements, then what is the line between poverty and extreme poverty. Does it make a difference when we debate semantics around terms of poverty? Why dont you just acknowledge its a global problem but more people than ever before are getting out of extreme poverty https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_poverty
-
No, you would just say it behind the comfort of the internet. It makes no sense what you saying.....seriously, think about your criticism Are you suggesting we shouldn't make any true statements about the reality of the world on a medium like a forum?
-
Let me ask you this question Bruce. How many people in poverty or extreme poverty have you asked in real life and said they are living in a golden age where more diseases have been cured than ever before, people live longer than ever before, more people are educated than ever before and more people live outside of extreme poverty than ever before? Well I would never be so insensitive to make a statement like that to someone living in poverty....that would be unhelpful to there reality?
-
Oh I'm extremely grateful I dont live in poverty But what has the fact that there are people in this modern age who live in poverty or extreme poverty got to do with the reality that we live in the greatest age of man?
-
You right, we need criteria....try this cured more diseases than ever before people live longer than ever before more people are educated than ever before more people live outside of extreme poverty than ever before So according to materialism? Nothing about virtues exhalted from the foundations of such civilization? Nothing about architecture, art and philosophy manifested from such? No? Then I'll pass. No those matter but you asked for some measurements What do you define as relevant to a great civilization?
-
You right, we need criteria....try this cured more diseases than ever before people live longer than ever before more people are educated than ever before more people live outside of extreme poverty than ever before
-
There is no better time in the era of mankind than the time we now live on , we have cured more diseases than ever before people live longer than ever before more people are educated than ever before more people live outside of extreme poverty than ever before I can go on but I think my point is clear
-
Yeah she was cool and I convinced her to go to Kaer Morhen so hopefully I should see her later
-
Volo I'm not sure what you expect from me ? Must I automatically agree with every women anytime they have a view on something....is that what you expect? A world where we can't disagree with women..why must I agree with that lady in the video if I dont agree with her
-
And thats EXACTLY why we need SJ movements Volo, to help people who are less fortunate or who belong to various minority groups and may have been victim to historic or current discrimination

And who voted against the sanctions on Iraq? Do you speak about 1990 sanctions against Iraq (United Nations Security Council Resolution 661, which change bit in 1991 United Nations Security Council Resolution 687)? The 1991 ones I imagine would be the most relevant?
