Oh, I know the name, I was with my family at the pier just days before she was shot. However I'm much quicker to blame a terrible mental health care system than our porous border. This wasn't a criminal mastermind, he was a crazy person who didn't get the help he needed in either country. He always was deported, multiple times, so it would seem that the INS was actually doing their job in this case. That aside, my comment on diversity was actually about Bill Gates, capacity, and the refugee situation. Which has little to do with illegal immigration. Also, I think it is fair to point out that you live in a wide open space and I live in a community of field workers with questionable immigration status. I've helped our babysitter get citizenship, for goodness sake. They aren't all criminals, anymore than we all are criminals. I'm not suggesting they all are. Or even most. But it is undeniable that by allowing in people who are not criminals we are bringing in many who are. But I was taking issue with your notion that people who are opposed to simply allowing illegals to walk in were so positioned out of some fear of diversity. While I'm certain that is true for some lets not kid ourselves that there isn't some real concerns for the safety of the people already living here from the ones who had no problem breaking one law to come and have no problems breaking others while here. Of course what do I know. Where I live diversity means a fox squirrel and a gray squirrel living in the same tree. You funny Do you know the difference between a fox squirrel and gray squirrel ? Have you ever eaten squirrel, I was watching one episode of Bizarre Foods America and Andrew Zimmerman eats squirrel in West Virginia. I love that show, its legitimate and I always think what he eats always looks so yummy. I am a very experimental eater and basically eat everything and all parts of an animal but I won't eat insects. But check these slide out http://www.travelchannel.com/shows/bizarre-foods/photos/bizarre-foods-america-west-virginia-pictures

A very good question considering the billions of dollars involved It would vary from person to person but I imagine Bill Gates would be quite hands-on and at least be aware of the types of sectors they donate to. So yes he would be aware of donations to the energy sector which as I explained can be perfectly reasonable

You know, the Oligarchs who meet in a smoky back room who actually control everything and everyone. Read all about them here: http://www.realworldorder.net/ Do you realize there are people who really believe this

It's not just the prison system Could've solved world hunger with all that money. Seeing how many fingers he has in many pots Mr. Gates has probably done more damage than Trump. Okay now I see your point, you are highlighting the supposed contradictions when Bills Gates says he cares about climate change yet he donates millions to various energy companies Yes that is a debatable point and I can understand the question but in future please just tell me directly this is what you are getting at because I thought you were dismissing there donations in places like Africa and only focusing on what they gave to institutions like the prison system. And I enjoy debates with you but I would prefer we just debate what you are really asking and not what I think you mean..so it other words I sometimes misunderstand you So for me I have no issues with donations to energy companies from people because all energy companies also invest and have policies around renewable energy and cleaner energy ...so how do we know that Gates actually didn't donate to those companies for exactly the reason that he supports there renewable energy initiatives? I get your point but it doesn't mean Gates is a hypocrite or necessarily inconsistent in his views

Good, good. Who ever wins, the global establishment loses. Okay so let me not be so arrogant to assume Sanders has no chance of being the next Democratic presidential candidate and therefore also possibly the next USA president But why would Clinton or Sanders impact the global establishment? What do you mean by the global establishment anyway?

And yet I'm not the one investing in the prison industrial complex. I'm not sure if you are being serious or just being controversial? How can we seriously think that some internal donations to places like the prison system in the USA by the Gates foundation in anyway should undermine the billions of dollars they have given away in the interests of making the world a more equitable place http://www.viraltide.com/top-charitable-donors-in-the-world/8/ http://www.cbsnews.com/news/the-gates-foundation-giving-away-a-fortune/ If you want to attack greedy Capitalists then focus on people like Trump but to criticize someone like Bill Gates seems incomprehensible to me?

http://www.inquisitr.com/2728067/bernie-sanders-polls-after-opening-up-big-lead-in-iowa-the-sanders-surge-appears-to-be-very-real/ Oh my hat this is big news Sanders really appears to be beating Clinton in Iowa ....and this is a CNN poll which are generally non-partisan

I don't know man, the people I see complaining about immigration the most tend to live in wide open spaces surrounded by mostly white people. Typically living among a diverse community makes it harder to be against diversity. The folks who live on the Texas border who are typically the victims of the crimes of border jumpers might disagree with you on that one. Laredo, Eagle Pass, and El Paso have real problems with Mexican drug cartels and their use of people who cross the border unimpeded. I'm guessing Kate Steinle would disagree also if she hadn't been murdered by an illegal that had already been deported five times for criminal acts and came back a sixth. Don't know that name? That's ok Barack Obama didn't either, although this happened in San Francisco. While I realize it is faulty logic to paint the many with the actions of a few it sickens me to see people gloss over the criminal acts, many of them violent, of people who are breaking our laws just being here. The governments of Europe are doing the same thing by glossing over the rapes and assaults by those mindless savages they are importing from the middle east. The folks on the left who want this to happen don't want to hear about the harm it causes to people who wanted nothing more than to live their lives in peace in their home countries. No the EU is not trying to cover-up the crimes of the refugees at events like NY, thats an egregious exaggeration and unfair In some places like Cologne it took the mayor and his staff some time to process what had occured but now its clear what happened. In other parts of the EU the next day illegal activities committed by the refugees were literally posted .This is not the same thing as saying " The EU is glossing over these crimes " But we have to accept the EU will take sometime to understand how it manages these types of social crimes and the best way to address it And finally the EU is not importing these refugees ....that would be like saying the USA is importing Mexicans. People are desperate to immigrate to the EU ...its not like the EU wants them or rather lets say "the EU doesn't want anymore " and I completely agree with this. The EU has done more than enough for various refugees

They're all Trumps Baro its almost unethical and seems to lack integrity to attack an institution like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation considering everything they have done for indigent people in places like Africa. Lets not even entertain the notion that they are frauds ....if you really require it I can post dozens of links that are 100 % credible about what they have done to address social inequality and global poverty ....but you can just Google this yourself to save me having to post something that is so easy to reference I

progrssive: noun, syn 'nazi sjw'. Sorry but this really made me laugh "progressive = Nazi SJW"

Weren't you and KP meant to have a debate about this? Yes we must have this debate but not now Baro, I have been having numerous debates on the radio and various forums and I just want to relax now

These types of views always make me laugh, people who don't like the West assume China will offer them a better deal....more integrity Its so misplaced and spurious,I have seen this in Africa many times. But good luck to Iran....I hope they realize that China is currently restructuring its entire economy so we can expect 3-5 years of instability from them The West is still the best place to invest in and forge economic ties with by far but if countries dont believe this then they can learn the hard way Ok that could be it or maybe you don't understand geopolitics and can't realize that China and Russia are the leading economic and militant powers in the East which means that for political reasons having good relations with them means support in diplomatic matters. In other words; Iran is shopping for a new pimp. Guys I live in a country that has been in a political and economic alliance with China for 5 years, it hasn't benefited us at all. BRICS has been a failure on numerous levels but it really has impacted our economy because China told us " sell us all your commodities, we not like the West. You can trust us " We did that and now that China is restructuring there economy and they are facing there own economic challenges they stopped buying almost all commodities and this has left South Africa in serious trouble China has always driven growth as an export based economy, they aren't good at investment but rather trade. Now they are changing to a consumer driven consumer and we can expect economic instability from them for the next 3-5 years So yes I am very aware of what China offers countries as an economic partner, we suffer every day because of it And Orog you do know that Russia has been in an economic recession for months now so I'm not sure why you think they have a strong economy ?

Please, you're coming off as the right wing equivalent of Bruce (OK, with better grammar, spelling and fewer inane smilies) and frankly have been for some time. I find it hard to believe that's what you're aiming for but if it is please let me know. 99% of the time when people complain about 'relativism' they don't have a clue what it means and it's because someone has just challenged them and they don't have an asterisking clue how to respond so are looking for a cheap bail out that allows them to not wonder why they don't have an asterisking clue how to respond. Yeah, you're somewhat better than the hard edge SJWs are because you aren't trying to impose your views on others* but so what, if you think being mildly better than people you deride is great then you don't have very high aspirations at all and should accept that others are going to point it out. Which is pretty much exactly what TN was saying about GG. "There are no wrong tactics, only wrong targets" is a load of bollocks no matter who says it. *though it has to be stressed, often those labelled as sjws aren't actually trying to impose their views either but just hold a 'progressive' view point. Zora its not nice to insult people on a forum. You need to consider the impact harsh words from someone of your statue and influence may have But Meshugger this allows me to comment because its weird but I have wanted to say something for exactly the reason Zora alluded to, I do see this criticism you are receiving from people like TN and Zora as something I went through and go through and I can identify with you ..even though you are on the opposite of me in some things . So here is something positive You will receive criticism when you start following your own path around certain topics on a forum and in RL, the secret is to understand its part of your journey and its actually healthy. You just need to really believe what you say....if you don't believe it then thats fine but you need to take there advice Now I'm not going to analyse what TN said to you but I can use Zora as an example of what I mean ( sorry Zora but you did open yourself up to this and I do need to give an example for Meshuggers sake ) ' I don't dislike Zora, he is very intelligent, well informed, he has a good sense of humor and he is prepared to go into detail in a debate but he is fundamentally anti-Western and this is also his greatest weakness. He constantly tries to find examples of events that will undermine the West and I will never pander to unfounded anti-Western sentiment so I have had numerous debates with him and seen him have debates with others. And yet he has never been right about one example of " this is going to really hurt the West " because his bias blinds him to the obvious reality ...The West despite its flaws is the most effective ideology in the world and is superior to any other system of government or current ideology and a person like Zora just can't accept this So for example in the past he has debated The Ukraine conflict will lead to Russian dominance The Russian economy will not be impacted by sanctions and falling oil price The Greek austerity crisis will shatter the EU as the EU is being unfair Merkel and Germany has utterly destroyed the EU by allowing refugees in The accusation that Turkey is buying ISIS oil is true and will end the anti-ISIS coalition Turkey had no right to shoot the Russian plane down and now Russia will make them suffer I can go on and on but you get my point, so understand you will also end up debating with people who criticize you but in most cases you will prove them wrong, Now that doesn't mean you target people on purpose or be malicious or gloat But in summary you need to believe and understand what you post ...and realize you are now in a world where it is normal to get into numerous debates

The ignorant liberal elite, right there. The capacity, he says. What an arrogant thing to say, when he would never feel this capacity. Gates is actually a paradigm of healthy Capitalism, he created one of the most successful and influential global software companies the world has ever seen, he is the antithesis of Trump...he represents the positive side of Capitalism ...and of course he is right. The USA can take in hundreds of thousands more refugees. But why would they want to? But my friend to call Bill Gates ignorant makes you sound....ignorant

My normal SJ response would be " I don't like to use the word superior as its goes against the principle of what SJ stands for " But since its you I'll try to respond .....yes I think I am superior to anyone who thinks its okay to grope children or **** in a public pool. Why do you respect this type of behavior ....it must be a Canadian thing so NO I don't think these refugees in the article are as cultured as your average South African and I don't respect them

Why what is the plot in that game ?

I think you don't understand scandis if you think they are actually self loathing. Who are Scandis? All the Scandinavian people ?

Yes many people in the EU are overreacting but they are also scared and frustrated ...so I understand these types of vigilante groups being in operation Yeah who ever could understand this type of vigilante groups https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n85LwLsvSfc I can't read WP article as it just says "This file was inadvertently published.", so I am not sure which groups they talk. They don't look like the Soldiers of Odin I've seen on Network Channels ..they seem like they having a great time and just having fun

Yes regret is the wrong word...what I mean is have you reviewed your opinion of the GG movement ? And this can be a good thing as you may have moved on from your original view? Most of us have changed our initial opinions And the reason I am asking you is because you were the first person in the GG thread to say to me things like " how come I don't support white people " ....I initially dismissed what you were saying because I was on the anti-GG side but you were 100 % correct and I only realized later I was being inconsistent in my view

Bill Gates is a great humanitarian and one of my favorite people, I use to work for Microsoft and I respect him immensely I support most of what he says I agree, we should definitely follow Germany's example: http://www.breitbart.com/london/2016/01/22/locals-fled-pool-after-migrants-masturbated-into-jacuzzi-defecated-into-kids-pool-molested-bathers/ Bill Gates is a great humanitarian and one of my favorite people, I use to work for Microsoft and I respect him immensely I support most of what he says I agree, we should definitely follow Germany's example: http://www.breitbart.com/london/2016/01/22/locals-fled-pool-after-migrants-masturbated-into-jacuzzi-defecated-into-kids-pool-molested-bathers/ I don't mean to laugh because I know these stories are true and concerning but its like we are faced with the worse behavior from the refugees. But you must remember we are talking about a small percentage of refugees who do this and yes its an issue but lets be honest I really don't think your average refugee from a place like Afghanistan and Pakistan will be very educated or cultured This type of refugee would never get into the USA so I wouldn't be too concerned. I would rely on Hurlshots exposure to Muslims in the USA because his view has been objective and positive

Thats a good post Do you feel on a personal level you were manipulated into supporting GG? And I'm not trying to catch you out or make you look silly. The type of manipulation I am referring to was subtle and surreptitious and took time to build so that when the Alexander article broke you were already frustrated by months of criticism from the likes of Anita so it would have been easy to align with GG? I supported GG because I was frustrated with the state of games journalism. It seemed like every other article was about how the games I liked are disgusting filth and I should feel bad, and rather than reporting on games they were dictating to the devs how they should make their games. They made no effort to separate their news and opinion. I stopped being involved when it stopped being about games. While I tend to sympathize more with their side of the "culture war", I got involved because I felt games journalism was damaging to games, as the DOAX3 thing showed. But the DOAX3 thing was really the only big gaming controversy in a while, and most of Kotaku In Action is no longer games or gaming journalism related. Your post makes perfect sense, I wish I knew what you just wrote before I joined anti-GG The majority of gamers are like you, why should you feel uncomfortable or feel constantly criticized by people pushing some misplaced SJ agenda. I understand why you supported GG, it makes sense But it was Anita who started the whole " white gamers are bad, mkay as they are sexist and are opposed to transformation " It was unfair and she played a huge part in manipulating people to partake in the GG and anti-GG war

These types of views always make me laugh, people who don't like the West assume China will offer them a better deal....more integrity Its so misplaced and spurious,I have seen this in Africa many times. But good luck to Iran....I hope they realize that China is currently restructuring its entire economy so we can expect 3-5 years of instability from them The West is still the best place to invest in and forge economic ties with by far but if countries dont believe this then they can learn the hard way

Yes many people in the EU are overreacting but they are also scared and frustrated ...so I understand these types of vigilante groups being in operation

Bill Gates is a great humanitarian and one of my favorite people, I use to work for Microsoft and I respect him immensely I support most of what he says And how many refugees will Mr. Gates take to his mansion? He obviously have room and budget. It's funny how all those rich people are pro immigrants/refugees when we all know they will never see them unless it's some publicity stunt in controlled environment. I wonder how many rich would be pro if refugees camps and homes were build into their rich neighbourhoods. Of course he wants mindless consumers, this is the guy behind Microsoft after all. Guys come on lets be fair now, there are many Billionaires that deserved to be criticized for there indifference and opulence But Bill Gates is really one of the good guys. I remember in the 1990's he was ruthless, driven and obsessed with Microsoft dominating the world. His motto was " a PC in every house in every country" Then he met his wife, fell in love and went with her on one of her humanitarian trips to Africa. That trip fundamentally changed his entire view on life and what mattered, now his motto was " how can we want a PC in every home when there are people who go to bed hungry " Anyway the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation have given away billions and helped address poverty in Africa....they really care https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_%26_Melinda_Gates_Foundation We need to give them credit

Oh okay, I see the misunderstanding I was actually frustrated that day because the fact NK is " sovereign " state didn't change my point but yes your definition was correct
