http://www.aol.com/article/2016/05/12/washington-post-columnist-forced-to-eat-his-newspaper-column-bec/21376158/ I have to respect this man for literally doing what he promised to do if somehow "Trump became the Republican candidate "

You cant be serious ? What do you mean by " open live fire " ....do you mean the Greeks should massacre the refugees on a particular boat to send a message that refugees mustn't come to Greece ? That's the whole point of the irony of it. Do you understand irony? Oh I understand irony perfectly, when a person cant make reasonable or insightful point you make a controversial and vacuous comment ...and justify it as " irony "

Varoufakis was right. No he is a populist and a demagogue and he needs to take a large amount of responsibility for the state of the Greek economy

This doesn't surprise me, it seems many people associated with the Trump campaign practice and sprout violent rhetoric and think its okay, how about this part of the article from the butler "Either way, I don't care. Hanging, shooting -- I'd prefer he'd be hung from the portico of the White House, or as I call it, the white mosque," Senecal said in a phone interview Thursday. "Does it sound like I'm nuts? Because I'm not," he said. "I've just gotten fed up with him (Obama)."

I have had a good week but very busy at work, we have some new potential opportunities at customers so I'm busy with that Almost no time to chat on the forums

Hi Oby "waves " Where you been?

Okay no more, you win. I dont have the energy today for endless repetition of the same question ....next time but not today

'Now a federated, decentralised system of free associations, incorporating economic as well as other social institutions, would be what I refer to as anarcho-syndicalism; and it seems to me that this is the appropriate form of social organisation for an advanced technological society in which human beings do not have to be forced into the position of tools, of cogs in the machine. There is no longer any social necessity for human beings to be treated as mechanical elements in the productive process; that can be overcome and we must overcome it to be a society of freedom and free association, in which the creative urge that I consider intrinsic to human nature will in fact be able to realize itself in whatever way it will.'kay Okay so first but serious criticism ...its very difficult to even understand his point because he uses his own strange terms and vernacular to describe things and he is well known for personal bias ...so what does this even mean human beings do not have to be forced into the position of tools, of cogs in the machine ( what is he suggesting....human beings are not cogs ) human beings to be treated as mechanical elements in the productive process (please dont tell he has an issue with people getting jobs ) society of freedom and free association ( please dont tell me he thinks the USA isn't free? ) As i said, you have to understand what you're ciriticing in order to provide with a counter-argument. I will not do your homework for you. Interesting so you also have no clue what he means...I dont feel so bad now Why do you lie? See post http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/85931-us-election-2016/?p=1808608 for my criticism on Chomsky. Yes but what I am missing is these 3 points ...you dont explain what they are But let me let you off the hook, I didnt expect you to know because if I didn't know its unlikely you would know as these points are ambiguous What's that smell? A possible entrapment based on an interpretation of an interpretation? Why yes it is! And how it smells like lies and lies, in fact, it reeks. It's clear as day a criticism of wage slavery and the removal of the human element from work. Oh please Bruce, you're insulting everyone's intelligence now. You're just sniveling as usual when your trolling isn't working the way you want it to. Okay this is a first., you make a post and when I ask you what it means you cant tell me...and when I point this out I become the troll Yet its your post, Meshugger this is a new low for you

Like the city of London was ready to elect a new police chief. Like the city of London was ready to elect a new police chief. You funny GD

Hi Mamie darling Any pressing SJW issues in the game that may potentially destroy fun

Okay remember this idea of jail time for extreme racism is not legal or very well supported, many black people are against it But white people like myself and other black people are pushing for extreme measures, your post has had the impact of exaggerating what I want but you also are right because yes this is a unique situation and yes I would argue john stuart mill didnt understand Apartheid legacy But I am pushing for this to protect human rights....not to abuse it but then you could argue it could be abused I dont really agree with how you Americans all support free speech where you believe "there are no exceptions " , in SA we know certain words are very hurtful and symbolic and remind people of the past. So we ban those words, its no problem but then we still have isues like this http://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jan/05/south-african-woman-faces-criminal-charges-racist-tweets So I guess I need to explain an Apartheid story, Gromnir I seem to be echoing what you said earlier but what black South Africans went through is unique. Your life story is really about you facing numerous challengers and events like racism in the early days but end of the day you became a much stronger person...and now you can give input which is interesting and thought provoking ...but I still say even you are underestimating the mental trauma of Apartheid ...but give me time to write this story

Hoon how is your sister by the way, you dont seem to talk about her anymore ?

I found this stat to be particularly telling: I've got a lot of different thoughts on this. I would definitely say my history teachers in college leaned heavily towards liberalism, although I never bought into the whole idea that we were being brainwashed. They certainly weren't as aggressive as some of the conservative mouth pieces like Rush LImbaugh with their agendas. As a teacher myself, all I really want is for students to see a wide range of opinions and have the critical thinking skills to process them all. But I'm not teaching at the same level, so it's a very different atmosphere. The reason why there are so little right-leaning people in the social sciences is because a lot of the material and the theories they are working with are based on political agendas suited for the left ideals instead of pursuit of empirical knowledge. Chomsky have critized them for this and Foucault even admitted as much. Chomsky annoys me with his anti-Western sentiment yet he lives and studies in the US and attacks its core principles He is a hypocrite, why doesnt he go live in Russia then? It's because you think that his criticism means that he is a supporter of oppressive regimes when he's actually basing his attacks on anarcho-syndicalist ideals. If you want critisize the guy, at least understand what you're up against. Meshugger just before I respond with some criticism is this real....is this what he believes and do you support this? Please tell me KP doesn't believe this as well ? You not trolling me?

I dont really like labels...what would you classify me as in American terms? I support Clinton and Obama legacy I would classify you as non-American. I certainly wouldn't classify myself as South African anything. Thats not really helpful...its kind of those answers where the person either is being dismissive or cant bother to respond constructively so they come up with something that is .....fatuous considering the question? Its like LK saying " how can someone who doesnt live in the USA know more about politics than an actual citizen " ...I expect more from you young grasshopper You made a direct comment about me, I asked you for your opinion in a reasonable way, I assume you understand US political definitions, you know my posting etiquette and you could have just given your opinion...yet you response was bizarre Why would anyone think you are South African...yet you do have some political leanings that are shared by some left wing parties like the DA

I dont really like labels...what would you classify me as in American terms? I support Clinton and Obama legacy

The thing is the left is not anti-gun, its anti-arsenal and despite the evidence many Americans are opposed to this and see this as some sort of Constitutional and Federal overreach...the resistance to something prudent seems almost orchestrated But please dont tell me you also want a gun now ? Because we dont need the Left for this one, no you dont need a gun....trust me

Well to be fair I avoid using it because you guys always seem to overreact to its meaning

Ros have you ever read about the battle Verdun? I recommend this book http://www.amazon.com/Price-Glory-Verdun-1916/dp/0140170413 Even if you have read other books about Verdun you must read this one, its evocative, compelling, disturbing and haunting

Yes you correct, we did debate that point and its an interesting one but Shady I really dont mind people like you guys disagreeing with me ..I just dont listen or respect people who cant have a debate without constant personal attacks Thats normal and I often learn things if I'm wrong or realize my view is not relevant in a certain debate But I still stand by that point, it does make me feel a little condescending but sometimes the truth can make you feel a little guilty Why would I consider the opinions or voting perspectives of 18, 19, 20 or 21 year olds? ( I think that was the debate ) Of course everyone is entitled to an opinion but normally young people that age are really about having fun and idealism ...let them have fun and we just have to ensure they are influenced to vote a certain way that is really what you want But another question you are a military man, do you support gun control that is done in a reasonable way?
