  1. Poor Bruce has spermotoxicosis and hallucinate strippers in any random videos with girls. Oby where do live? Everyone says you not really Russian
  2. So do you think that Russians who criticize/don't like Putin are unpatriotic people that don't like their home country as they opposite view of majority? As my point was that you logic "No because you are dismissing the views of large numbers of Canadians, Trudeau won a majority. In other words why do you feel you are better than all those people? I would still say its unpatriotic and very arrogant" don't necessary hold water if you example put it in following way "No because you are dismissing the views of large numbers of Russians, Putin won a majority. In other words why do you feel you are better than all those people? I would still say its unpatriotic and very arrogant", and therefore I asked if you actually ably it to every case or only those where winners of elections have similar world view with you? Okay I understand the question now....thank goodness that post I made can still be used Putins support around 80 % approval ratings is not based on a proper metric or rather it misplaced support for Putin because of most Russians they see Putin as a hero, they see him as restoring Russian pride...yet as I explained Putin has in fact sacrificed the economy. Now many Russians accept this as price to pay for Georgia. Crimea and Ukraine. They think its worth the economic sacrifice But its not, Putin is using foreign reserves to shield the economic impact from hitting Russia in its worst way. I predict Russia has about 2-3 years left before being bankrupt. Even Iran who really hated the West after 5 years of sanctions returned to the negotiations. The support for Putin and his foreign policies will also start being eroded once the economy starts really getting bad....you see without an economy whats the real point of patriotism? And this applies to the 20 % who don't support Putin...its not about patriotism. They see what Putin has done , its a rejection of a damaging force You cannot compare the Russian reality to Canada who has some of the happiest citizens in the world and is a first world Democracy. Canada works so when there is a majority victory in some elections you must realize its from people who voted for Trudeau because they think he offers the best and overall most progressive future Its a vote done for the right reasons ...not because they believe Canada needs to restore an old empire So yes when someone like Volo turns around and says Trudeau is some sort of dysfunctional, weak fool its a baseless and arrogant comment
  3. I am not sure if your logic actually holds water, or is this one of those cases that is in effect only when you support those that are in power? So Elerond hear me out for a second as you are logical, watch this interview and tell me what you think about Trudeau http://wn.com/justin_trudeau_cnn_interview_in_davos_for_fareed_zakaria_gps Tell me what you think about Putin that won Russian election with wider margin? Well to be fair its a really bad analogy as the two people are so different and achieved political leadership through such different strategies ..but its also a good question as I can make a relevant comparison So Putin has an excellent approval rating, 80-85 % so some may immediately say " Putin is a great leader as the Russian people really support him "..but what if I told you in fact what really matters in a great leader is what price and sacrifice was needed to be paid by the country ...by the actual citizens ? This must be considered when we compare the 2 men Putin restored Russian pride but neglected the internal economy. The failure to diversify outside of oil of gas for Russia wasn't just about Putin's lack of focus but also the fact in order to control Russia and its growth he has discouraged many types of investors as Russia is seen as a risk But this would have negligible if the oil price hadn't crashed, then add to that Western sanctions for the violation of Ukraine's sovereignty and suddenly Russia is in a recession ....like a real protracted recession. You can research how bad it is ....its bad because Russia needs the oil price to be at $90-110 to make it profitable to extract oil So life in Russia has become hard for the average Russian citizen http://www.forbes.com/sites/markadomanis/2015/01/04/what-will-russias-recession-look-like/#25742d8e40e8 http://www.euronews.com/2016/02/03/russian-recession-set-to-deepen-says-central-bank/ And there is no easy fix. I have seen this same thing throughout Africa and it can take years to resolve because there is NO appetite for people to invest in Russia Trudeau won by less and is less well liked but would he neglect growing the Canadian economy outside of oil just so he can push a military agenda ? Highly unlikely So I'll let you decide Who is the better leader ?
  4. I can possibly see that but I still think he makes loads of sense, like when he says " we can't become a society that lives in fear" Somehow I can imagine him sending refugees to an island
  5. No because you are dismissing the views of large numbers of Canadians, Trudeau won a majority. In other words why do you feel you are better than all those people? I would still say its unpatriotic and very arrogant If he narrowly won then I would say you have a point ...but he didn't I am not sure if your logic actually holds water, or is this one of those cases that is in effect only when you support those that are in power? So Elerond hear me out for a second as you are logical, watch this interview and tell me what you think about Trudeau http://wn.com/justin_trudeau_cnn_interview_in_davos_for_fareed_zakaria_gps
  6. Oby are you posting Russian stripper videos..can I start saying again how much I appreciate your finest export? Or will you say I'm childish
  7. No because you are dismissing the views of large numbers of Canadians, Trudeau won a majority. In other words why do you feel you are better than all those people? I would still say its unpatriotic and very arrogant If he narrowly won then I would say you have a point ...but he didn't
  8. That must have been an amazing experience, how did you feel being able to do your own thing and just have a life? Of course the Meds are also working but I'm sure the experience was great I have never stayed in bed that long but for me I can do it everyday so it seems like a waste We got a lot of TV watching done. Binged the last 4 episodes of the Expanse, latest Supernatural, etc. Beat Witcher 3 last night, started AssCreed Unity this morning after Machete. Spent most of the day doing that. Went shopping and am now making red curry for dinner. No screaming, no breaking of things, just quiet. I need like a month of this. Unfortunately the kids come home tomorrow. I really have sympathy for you, even if I wasn't dealing with depression\rage I dont think I could cope with your sons naughtiness Especially if this is normal behavior, how many years is this expected?
  9. Trump is a rude, offensive and arrogant demagogue. You can't seriously compare him to how Hilary conducts herself? Yes he is very charismatic but lets give your fellow Canadians some credit, he believes in a better economy and better overall life for all Canadians. He is very convincing so why wouldnt you vote for him...I listened to his interview, he is not a fool Compare him to Trump.....you Canadians seem to be an unpatriotic bunch?
  10. Volo thats very offensive....its sexist ? I watched an interview on CNN with your prime minister. I was very impressed, he is intelligent and sincere and really seems to care about creating a better society. He convinced me and I would proudly support him
  11. Not really, what do mean the " things'll only get worse for the rest of the world." You not suggesting things in the EU are going to be worse? In what way? While you considering what is getting worse let me tell you what is getting worse. emerging markets like South Africa and the Middle East. But this is due to the oil price and the Chinese economy restructuring ....so I am genuinely interested in what you think is so bad? I am really irritated by the Chinese and there false friendship towards Africa
  12. Guys supporting the Democrats on this thread there are two things I wish I feel sometimes I am part of your group and I can also vote ...but then I realize I can't vote and its just a dream Don't you guys wish GD would vote Democrat ...I feel bad that he isn't part of our group If the Democrats win, Sanders or Hilary, are we allowed to invite GD to the Internet forum party
  13. That must have been an amazing experience, how did you feel being able to do your own thing and just have a life? Of course the Meds are also working but I'm sure the experience was great I have never stayed in bed that long but for me I can do it everyday so it seems like a waste
  14. And I think a lot of Hillary's intangability for the population really comes down to how her campaign portrays her. I've said it before, and will say it again, her experiance makes everything she says (unless she's caught almost totally off guard) come off as prepared. So people don't like her because her speeches are prepared ? You also support her Calax...sorry I forgot And I think a lot of Hillary's intangability for the population really comes down to how her campaign portrays her.

  15. Nice post Leferd, I wish you commented more and I'm not suggesting this because you are minority therefore you must know these types of things It just get sometimes draining having to seemingly defend Clinton ....and I'm even American( yet )
  16. Oh that's a load of bull. It is impossible to classify the politics of an entire state you have never visited by the reputation you think it has because of what you've read on the internet. Yes obviously GD But I want valid opinions about the states, anecdotal if possible. I can research a lot, I have relatives in the USA and I watch international media but your stories are important ...I share them with people on the radio and other mediums so people don't generalize about the USA
  17. Oh....why didn't you let me know before I made that point ? Remember just because I'm speaking on your behalf it doesn't mean you can't sometimes correct me....this is not a dictatorship, I believe in SJ
  18. Why? Because the Democrats believe in supporting the middle class and also supporting minorities ....they are seen in this light at least and believe in the Federal government intervening in some ways to achieve this. So for me I would also support the Democrats if I was a minority because there always seems to be Trump in every election in the Republicans Now of course not every minority supports the Democrats and the vast numbers of Republican supporters on this forum are not like Trump but end of the day the Republican party has lost its way. They can restore themselves but they need to ask what they stand for For example the Democrats haven't offended the Latino population or women like Trump did, until the Republicans can learn to curtail this type of behavior they will suffer in the polls IMO
  19. Correct minorities must vote for Clinton
  20. Yes I know that, I'm just pointing out that the USA\West will now be blamed for the collapse of Afghanistan ..so don't get upset when this happens (I know you personally don't believe that but others may )
  21. In what way was GWB's foreign policy seriously different than the democrat's? Gore would not have gone into Afghanistan after 9-11. He definitely would not have gone into Iraq ever. The invasion of Afghanistan was and is perfectly justified..we can debate Iraq but not Afghanistan. But its time to pull out of Afghanistan But mark my words .....the moment the USA pulls out of Afghanistan it will resort to a more active civil war and maybe the Taliban will gain control again And once again remember my powers of prognostication you will see the likes of Zora saying " the USA has also destroyed Afghanistan like Iraq I'm just using Zora as an example ...I hope he won't say that but people will say that who are anti-Western But the West cannot stay forever in Afghanistan, they have been there long enough...and guys please remember when the USA pulls out Afghanistan will be in a working condition. The reason I'm harping on this is I'm so tired of the revisionist history we see from many people who blame the invasion of Iraq for the creation of ISIS But the USA left Iraq in a working condition...ISIS didn't exist then. AL-Maliki was repeatedly told to ensure he incorporates the Sunni minority ..he didn't and they became more disillusioned and were victims of Shia violence so when the Syrian war started many Sunni traveled to Syria and ISIS was formed. Some of the the Iraq Sunni also had ties with Al-Qaeda in Iraq and had been fighting the Americas the new Iraq government for years...but the most relevant point is Al-Maliki could have incorporated the Sunni and prevented them from being marginalized in the new Iraq. But some people just ignore this and even some Muslim leaders say things like " The USA is responsible for ISIS" and ignore the other reasons Finally the reason Im mentioning this is because there is a massive difference between how the USA left Iraq and them being responsible for the creation of ISIS....let me know if anyone needs more info on this distinction The bottom line is the West is NOT directly responsible for ISIS
  22. Thanks Guys, I'm having a Skype session tomorrow with them where we will discuss more about what the job actually entails I'll come back with more questions so please respond if you can and be honest even if you think its weird...for example maybe you think Georgia is a bad place because its full of SJ types ( thats a joke but you know what I mean )
  23. GD did you read that link by Fareed Zakaria I posted about how the Republican party has been let down through the years by there presidents ...he talks about exactly what you mention. So its not just you who feels this way
  24. Wow that is pretty cool. I used to live in West Palm Beach in South Florida. It's certainly got you covered for weather but you can forget going to the countryside. There isn't one. It's non stop city from Ft. Pierce to Key West. But if you like beaches and watersports that is the place to be. It's expensive to live there though. I won't hazard a guess how much they are offering you but if you select a city in south Florida (if that is even an option) do your research. Yes I have been to Florida...its very hot and I'm not a beach person, I don't go in the sun because I don't like getting burned so I'm very, very white ..a real computer geek But I love swimming, I just use factor 30 sun screen. Also when I say I enjoy having breaks outdoors I mean its similar to what you do when you say you go for a walk with the dogs to cold creek and swim. Thats what I mean, a hike somewhere and then a swim at the end but not actually getting burned My plan is not to spend any money initially on expensive property if I decide to go so Florida sounds like it would be wasted on me
  25. Yes....TN....does it make sense?
