  1. It makes sense as an elaborate piece of performance art intended to underline the fact that nobody should have to justify why their lives matter specifically (ie. why "All Lives Matter" as a reaction to "Black Lives Matter" is absolutely wrong-headed and tone-deaf). Is it an elaborate piece of performance art intended to yadda yadda? I'm not convinced. But it would make sense. Okay, good point It may be some kind of performance art ...but would the white people be part of it ? You may be right ...its better than them thinking that kind of invective is appropriate But I think it is real?
  2. Barti stop being naughty.,...you not too old for a good spanking Barti I didn't realize you changed your signature...yes of course if no one speaks to me I would leave But thats not an issue, I have people that always are prepared for a chat and I appreciate it. Remember I have been trying to change and be less condescending....you must have noticed? I think I'm vastly improved from the old BruceVC ?
  3. Oerwinde I meant to ask you how you feeling with the meds, are they beneficial ? How is your son and your general level of frustration ?
  4. No it is a valid point, of course people will say you are now promoting double standards but I get what you mean However my issue is you can say you don't like white people, you can resent white people, in fact you can have any opinion of white people you want but to suggest a whole race has no life value is egregious As I said you have to at least respect things have a right to exist? Its not that I was offended it just sets a terrible precedent for the debate...you cant continue from that,, well I would refuse to
  5. Well, i do not trust the Turks, so why should this info bear any merit. But there it is anyway. Yes I heard this on CNN, it shouldn't be seen as too seriously because I'll be honest there are smalls cells of people living within the EU that want to attack it This is irrefutable, its just a reality of living in the EU. It can be addressed and security will be improved so I wouldnt worry too much You should at least try to like Turkey more, they will be taking in refugees that were headed to the EU...and its a win for the West because have you noticed its okay for any non-Western country to abuse human rights like how the refugees are being housed in Turkey. But thats not a problem we should worry about...its a Turkey decision
  6. Yes, it has caused and will cause problems in Finland and governments (these aren't new problems and have continued through several governments) have failed to solve them. And that failure cause quarrels in general population, which of course can lead that these problems expand and become even worse. Okay but are you talking about the 20k Syrian refugees that have just arrived in Finland? Isn't it too early to say the Finnish government has failed ? Dont get me wrong I can understand if this is the issue...its normal but I just want to be sure we are talking about the same thing? You think that those 40k refugees are only refugees/immigrants that there are in Finland? Those are just ones that cause additional stress to existing policies/systems that have problems, where get to the point that it isn't necessary most solid policy to add stress to policies/systems that don't work and hope that they work. Okay I didnt realize Finland had such a problem with refugees.....I have to be honest because of the harsh weather I wouldn't think Finland would be so popular...also your language, no one can understand it It has not been popular. Between 1970-2012 Finland gave asylum to 48k refugees and even that amount causes problems with existing policies and systems. And now government tries to use those same systems and policies for those that 40k have come in past year. Can you see why there maybe some more problems in future? Absolutely, of course I can see the issue and frustration Its not going to destroy your country but this whole refugee debacle is complicated and annoying Well if thats true then its just wrong because economic refugees aren't the same as refugees driven away from years of conflict and brutal war like the Syrians
  7. They almost certainly leaked the second (well, extended bits of the first featuring Hogan dropping N bombs more than Macho Man dropped elbows) tape against a court order as well. That was probably why they ignored the order to take the original one down, because they thought Hogan would pull out of legal action under threat of the extended version being released. I have to admit to finding it basically impossible to feel any sympathy for any Gawker employee- their employers are just so over the top villainous and so transparently over the top villainous that I can't imagine working there and not being aware of it. They couldn't/ can't even tone it down during legal action when it's not merely sensible to do so but pretty much essential to do so. Dude....seriously its a gossip business isnt it ? This is what they thrive on and there customers expect this...but I am not very happy with them either after I realized they leaked those personal pictures of some of those actresses
  8. Yes I understand your concern, I may not share your view about them being all being dangerous but seriously ....WTF are people from those countries doing immigrating to Finland? Its more the principle for me because I understand the shared burden of the EU but I still think its unfair to expect countries like Finland to just accept these refugees and have no concerns It should be optional but as I keep saying the ME countries must take more refugees before Europe has to

  11. Vintage Mesh: "The problem with speech inciting genocide and racial hatred is that we don't have enough of it in the mainstream media! The solution is simple: we should give Nazis a voice! They've been oppressed for too long, I say!" Free speech, you use it, you defend it, end of story. You should not pick winners, like they seem to do at Harvard. ...and you didn't even watch video. Not once does he preach for genocide. //edit2, bah i should've just posted this video instead and left it at that: Meshugger its rude to expect people to watch a 1 hour video
  12. Vintage Mesh: "The problem with speech inciting genocide and racial hatred is that we don't have enough of it in the mainstream media! The solution is simple: we should give Nazis a voice! They've been oppressed for too long, I say!" You funny alum, I dont think you passive aggressive all the time ..I just think you sometimes cant keep quiet when you are faced with certain views and sentiments in posts But you not unreasonable, we have had debates and they seemed normal to me ?
  13. 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 ?
  14. I didnt know what that word meant so I looked it up ....not sure what you mean though?
  15. 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?
  16. You right, but as I mentioned my grammar is terrible
  17. 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 ?
  18. 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
  19. 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
  20. 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
  21. 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 ?
  22. 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
  23. 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?
  24. 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 ?
