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?

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?

Guys you know how awesome it is for me, I'm busy with my first play through of the W3 ....so I'm experiencing much of what you allude to now I'm in the erudite but zealot influenced city of Novigrad,,,I'm doing the Dandelion and Triss ( I really think I love her )quests ...... this game is amazing ( and yes I know I keep saying that..I mean it )

To be fair to Clinton, her unfavorability is currently under 40%. Trump's is over 50%. If these numbers hold through November, he can't win the election. Historically the candidate with higher unfavorability wins. Also the taller candidate. Also the one who's not a bitch. WOD it seems unhelpful to bring Hilary's gender up as a reason that we can criticize her Lets focus on her policies and her campaign strategies as a reason to have issues with her ...not her gender

Volo this women says men are getting badly treated in marriage and men dont get listened to...seriously?

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)."
