Having been to Harvard, and even dated one of it's students for a number of years, I can tell you that it's pure myth that one needs to be intelligent to be there. In fact, my experience is that school attracts some of the most thoroughly brainwashed (yet good regurgitators) folks in the nation. But Vals let me be honest and I dont mean to make sweeping generalizations about all American students In South Africa 80 % of the country due to Apartheid didn't receive decent education and yet every time I listen to people on radio stations who come from this background they put real effort into debates and asking things. I have learnt a lot from many black South Africans about the reality of Apartheid ....anyway I have never ever heard this type of perspective from a black South African and trust me I can understand resentment towards white people...yet I hear this at Harvard? I'm sorry its such a pointless thing to say...how do you even respond to that ?

I didnt know what that word meant so I looked it up ....not sure what you mean though?

Did you watch the video, I absolutely support meaningful debates around privilege and social status But to say one racial group doesnt have a right to live ....its just stupid and pointless and lacks any intellectual relevance to a real debate?

You right, but as I mentioned my grammar is terrible

Yet he makes so many Malawian people happy? I am an agnostic but I can see religion makes many people happy and fulfilled, I wouldn't want to now somehow destroy that by saying the guy is false ....but I'm concerned with his view on acquiring assets ?

Elerond when you say your domestic policies dont work are you referring to the refugees and intergration? I am referring to all domestic policies that fail to prevent people seceding from general population. Okay and just to be clear does this bother you? How widespread is it and does it apply to all immigrants who come to Finland I'm just trying to understand the issue People and population groups that secede from general population are according to statistic more likely commit crime and participate in extremist ideologies that are against general population. Immigrants in Finland according to statistics commit more crimes than general population. But they aren't only population group for which such is true, although as aliens for Finnish culture and habits they are easy target to point out. Immigrants that have moved to Finland because of higher paying job or Finnish family are according to statistic less likely to secede from general population than for example those that have come here through refugee programs. Also lower income people have higher their changes are to secede from general population. I would say that Finland isn't really country that has big problems with its immigration population (although there is quite many that hold opposite view) at least yet. But there signs that in future there maybe more of general issues with immigrants that other countries already have, like for example districts where immigrants start to become majority population, need for schools that use some other language than Finnish, Swedish or Sami (Finland's official languages) as their main language, etc. issues that can lead population groups to secede from general population. Yes but do you think its a problem in Finland? In other words has the Finnish government failed around this We have millions of foreigners living in South Africa, they come from war torn countries or countries that have collapsed economies There is a percentage of them that commit crime, maybe 5 %...its hard to say as most are hard working and send money home to there families. For example we have 3 million Zimbabweans living in SA....but Zim has a 70 % unemployment rate so there citizens come to SA looking for economic opportunities. Anyway the black foreigners are always blamed for crime or taking jobs ...its unfair

Sorry...capitalized what? I'm missing something

But to be that rich in such a poor African country? That cant be how a Christian would behave in such circumstances...especially a pastor ? Check the Malawi economic stats http://www.heritage.org/index/country/malawi

He doesnt mean that surly? I have helped and supported Barti probably more than anyone, we have a good relationship I think?....but now do you also have an issue with Porn? Let me guess....its objectifies women and you are opposed to it

But who is suppose to do that? He has a cult following in Malawi I just want to know if I am being over sensitive ...but I find his ostentatious obscene ?

You guys should watch the adult movie version of Avengers 2 ...its anything but banal especially if you like your super-heroines and villians in costume

That article comos off as more patronizing than what it wishes to be. If a culture or a group of people start to blow up airports and subways, do mass shootings and suicide bomb themselves sporadically because they are simply bored, too stupid, depressed, have high unemployment and think it is cool, then why even bother allow them to Europe to begin with if they are so fragile? *cough* scope insensitivity *cough* Estimated number of Muslims in Belgium: 320.000-450.000 Estimated number of young European Muslims who have traveled to Syria to fight alongside ISIS: 470. "A culture starts to blow up airports and subways", my ass. But that's what the article is saying and i took it to it's logical conclusion. Thus highlighting that something is greatly amiss in its reasoning. If an article states that 0,1% of a culture does something, stating that the entire culture is to be blamed for their actions isn't "taking the article to its logical conclusion", it's engaging in reductio ad absurdum. If I'm being nice. No. The article is trying to explain reasoning behind the actions of these men by asserting the same problems found among the youth across Europe, but for some strange reason people from Molenbeek express the same failures by shooting and bombing, all while being shielded by the locals against the authorities. It's trivilizes the problem, to downright patronizing, as something that will solve itself if there just were enough jobs. Meshugger you are exaggerating the issue. I'm not sure if you being serious or you just teasing everyone?

Guys this is going to really annoy you....its basically an ignorant attack on white people but it makes no sense And this is the level of intelligence of Harvard students ?

http://blackchristiannews.com/2016/01/popular-malawian-pastor-buys-his-third-private-jet-in-two-years-a-gulf-stream-iii-for-37-million/ Guys doesnt this bother you because of the contradiction and lack of empathy Malawi is ranked 146 in the worlds economy's...its a poor country and rife with corruption But nice people. Anyway this pastor is one of Malawi's most famous pastors ....he has tens of thousands of followers but still.....how can he spend this much money when he is surrounded by such poverty? Also what do any Christians think about this, surly this cant be right but I may be wrong?

"Rode" is a legit word (past tense of the verb 'ride') though, so spell check wouldn't catch it. And I missed it on proofreading. I hope the forum finds the strength to forgive you my son ...this was an egregious mistake of monumental proportions

Why what is Phoenix like? Hell. I'm assuming since I haven't had the pleasure yet Phoenix always seems to come up in the movies about the USA..." Phoenix ...Arizonia " I always assumed it had some local significance

Why what is Phoenix like?

I didnt even notice it Sometimes I re-read my posts and realize that I'm not the monkey in the room who happens to bang out the works of Shakespeare. Normally I use spell check at work for grammar and spelling....its one of the reasons my grammar is so bad

I didnt even notice it

I never say anything, its too easy to assign motivation (intentional rudeness) when the truth is, I don't know why. Maybe they're a jerk, but maybe they're preoccupied with something and genuinely wasn't processing. It doesn't matter. We have a custom here where if you come to a funeral procession you pull the side of the rode and wait for it to pass. A lot of transplants hate this custom and argue that the dead person doesn't care and the family is to wrapped up in their grief to care if some strangers stop by the road and doff their caps. But to me that's missing the point. Thats a nice gesture and show of respect, well played

No need to rig the Democratic presidential race, Hilary was always going to win but Sanders ran a good race

So you also think he is hot...like these bottles

You need to rectify that young grasshopper

My rule of thumb for doors is: If I'm coming to a door, I open it and hold it until everyone coming the opposite way has passed. If anyone is following me through the door, I'll hold it open as I pass through the doorway long enough for them to take control of it, at which point the door is theirs to do with what they want, although I may make exceptions to this if a large group is behind me and I'm in no particular hurry. At no time to I check to see if the people going through the doorway meet some arbitrary physical requirement. But what if you are with a lady, would you open a door in lets say a restaurant? Unless she opens it for me first, yes. But I'd also open the door if I were with a guy, a group, or if alone open it for others. I don't open car doors for anyone, however, that process is too awkward with modern cars, parking lots and/or traffic. Yes same as me, I have had the odd occasion where I have politely opened the door for a stranger and they dont acknowledge it ....so I just say out loud " no problem, it was my pleasure "
