  1. I've proved you wrong again Bruce. Here you go on about Australia and its bad policy on refugees in this thread and you admire Sweden's approach and then I pull up a post of yours from earlier this year with you admiring Australia and see justification in its refugee policy. You make this so easy. No you not understanding my point, I admire both policies ....but there are legitimate issues with the Oz one And I do admire Australia...but I couldn't live there
  2. Guys through the years of cooking,experimenting with food and having to satisfy " munchy sessions " I have become very skilled at making delicious toasted sandwiches ...tonight I made myself a sandwich with Madure Irish Cheddar and Blue Cheese Fried panchetta Avo salsa It was soooooooooo nice
  3. If she was a state judge she would not survive her next retention vote. If she were a appellate or Supreme Court justice we'd be stuck with her but she will never get a decent table in a DC restaurant after that. But you agree she should fired? How can she claim an inkling of impartiality to think such things? It isn't because she thinks it. It's because she SAID it. People are going to think what they think. The court has to have the appearance of impartiality. She could never be an effective jurist now. Even if what she is saying is true she should know better than to pop off on social media about it. You make some good points but its not true....its offensive and uninformed, she said things like In another post attributed to her, she said that "murder is also not a biggy" for black men and "gang rapes of baby, daughter, and mother [were] a pleasurable pass [sic] time". I didn't say it was true. I just said even if she said something true. If a judge in the US were to say a higher number of violent offenders are black than white it would be a true statement, But you can't just go say crap like that because it's prejudicial because of a racial qualification. And because it is being presented without context. Even if the judge meant well or only meant to be stating a statistical fact they are feeding a negative stereotype as well as justifying the racism of others. So in other words a jurist should have the good sense to STFU. We dont have juries in SA....only judges so she was basically deciding verdicts for years with that attitude Is there an appellate process? Seems to me every verdict she ever rendered would have solid footing for appeal. In the US the lawyers would be salivating over this! Thanks goodness our legal system is not at your level of scrutiny but yes you right, this should or could lead to major appeals The Black lawyers association has asked for a revue of all her cases...but I doubt that will happen http://www.destinyconnect.com/2016/05/10/black-lawyers-association-wants-review-racist-judge-cases/ But right now she is just suspended ....

  7. Oby you cant possibly believe the US is behind the current crisis in Brazil ? I remember I used to chide people here who in one post would talk about how stupid George W Bush was and in the next accuse him of masterminding 9-11 just so he could invade Iraq. That would require a criminal mastermind even greater than Emperor Palpatine. And this is the guy they think is stupid?? Also with all the anti-Bush sentiment that increased as the years went on you would assume by now one of the many detractors of Bush would have found evidence and presented it to the world ...but no somehow people think a conspiracy involving thousands of people could somehow be contained
  8. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-36246081 Guys what would happen to a US judge in this case?

  10. Do you mean like another Civil War? Under the correct circumstances... yes. I don't think it will or should happen. But it would be foolish to dismiss the possibility. Did you really watch what happened there Bruce? Hillary's people disqualified a majority of Sanders delegates and refused to say why. Then despite a vote in favor of a recount closed the convention and walked away but not before asking the sheriff deputies to put everyone out. But who fight in this war? And surly because of the resources any internal battle against the Federal government would be suicidal?
  11. Do you mean like another Civil War?
  12. Sure, no problem
  13. I'm asking him a relevant question because I thought you wanted to know more about what defines a SJW....and this could be several of us Sorry I dont see how this hijacking the thread?
  14. And who would you say is a SJW in your opinion on these forums?
  15. This is going to be one of the most entertaining threads I have ever seen....well played Hurlshot
  16. Not only do you understand it, you see justification in it by your own words. That's okay Bruce, we all know you admire Australia's refugee policy. You even said you understand why we are admired. Ah yes. Of course Australia is to blame for someone setting themselves on fire. Even the UNHCR staff just watched. tsk tsk UN. You never did debating at school did you Hiro?
  17. 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
  18. 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
  19. 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
  20. Here is Bruce the racist in all his glory. Sorry...whats the correct way to refer to them?
  21. 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
  22. 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?
  23. 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
  24. 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
  25. 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?
