Not really, there are plenty of Republican supporters on this forum and they not racist Sorry I'm not sure what your point is, are you saying because Trump makes racist comments then any Republican supporter of his must be racist ?

Republican Presidential Debate
GD.....I have never understood why you think there will come a day when the Federal government will resort to killing Americans to enforce this type of law, which I doubt will ever be implemented due all the resistance from influential groups like NRA I know you have explained this to me before but do you really think this is something possible .....and I wonder what other US members on these forums think about a possible future where the Feds resort to arresting and or killing American citizens for not complying with a law that wanted to confiscate firearms ? Also I can understand now why you probably dislike Hillary so much...when she makes these types of comments...she must be the antithesis of your acceptable politician

Republican Presidential Debate
Yes this is all over the international media....Gfted1 when Trump makes comments like he did how do you feel? I'm battling to understand why you guys aren't more annoyed and or concerned ? I know I tend to perhaps overact to these types of comments but surly someone on this forum from the USA must be a little ......exasperated ?

What you did today
Gratz Boys Ten years is a long time and shows commitment You should both think back to events and discussions that have been the most memorable over the last 10 years I would be keen to read them Not sure if it was the most memorable, but excepting topics on current events, this probably sums up the last 10-12 years: https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/45546-do-you-have-a-zombie-plan/ https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/38487-ive-learned-a-terrible-truth/ https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/17236-contamination-of-modern-science-by-politics/ https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/35872-what-are-your-favourite-shoes/ https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/46083-hi-im-fish/ http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/51039-has-anyone-ever-seen-a-ufo/ https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/51150-ghosts/ https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/44303-mr-sawyer-owns-us-all-with-nwn2/ https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/44407-retiring-the-hades-and-harvey-personas/ https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/91-origin-of-your-name-and-avatar/ I am going to read these later but thanks for putting the effort in...I know you have a very good memory so you are one of the best people to link the most memorable events to real old forum discussions..so nice one Your diligence is always appreciated Not really a good memory, the threads were randomly chosen after a brief perusing by the following criteria: 6 threads that came up in WOT that had "Greatest" "Thread" and "ever" in a single post in the thread. A thread about Ghosts and one about UFOs I recalled fondly. A thread from the late Judge Hades (aka Hades aka Vicseris aka...) talking about killing another persona. An early thread about usernames and avatars that's hilarious to read as everyone has changed their avatars so the descriptions make no sense. Fine, fine ....we will remove the " good memory " accolade But can you accept the " diligent " compliment

Republican Presidential Debate
It wouldn't be funny, I would be very disappointed if Trump became the next president of the US because of exactly the reasons you mentioned He has a complete disregard for being "PC " or for the concepts of human rights and yes what you call SJ issues So for 4 years the world and the USA would be stuck with someone who has very little interest in the world being a more equitable and fair place So yes this is something that should be a concern to all of us. But it won't be the end of the world ...just an issue

Republican Presidential Debate
As I have said many times, the best way to ensure a Democrat and Clinton presidential victory is for Trump to become the Republican candidate Trump has successfully ostracized moderates and alienated minorities. His rhetoric doesn't seem to concern the current Republican supporters because he has a 20 point lead compared to the next Republican candidate So I guess we need to wait for the elections before people realize offensive comments about minority groups just aren't acceptable anymore in US politics

Bruce, some people are afraid of the Hijab and get very uncomfortable when a woman around them is wearing one. Really? Are you being serious ....people are scared of the Hijab or are they scared of what they think it means if someone wears it?
-
San Bernadino shooting
Nope...this is Haifa Wehbe, Lebanese singer Arabic women are hot, no doubt. This singer is very attractive for example But people in the West who aren't Muslims aren't scared of the Hijab, there is just no need for women to wear one unless they want to

No thats not the solution..if the USA converts to Islam then the problem is solved ? Lets not over complicate things....if the most powerful and influential Western country in the world just converts then the EU would follow ....surly if the whole world was Islamic then there wouldn't be anymore violence? Well except for the historical Shia\Sunni violence , the Iran vs Saudi resentment, the likes of ISIS and AL-Qaeda who kill anyone who doesn't agree with there interpretation of Islam, and the likes of Boko Haram and Al-Shabaab....but apart from that we would have Global peace..wouldn't we What i mean is let there be more white Muslims, they are your own people, surely your own people will not do something to your own people isn't it? In Middle East, Shiah Muslims are mostly Persian (Abbasid/Iranians), Sunni Muslims are mostly Arabs, historically these two race are not good with eachother. Shiah and Sunni in SEA living together no problem historically accurate...yeah there's arguments here and there, but never violence. Oh no white people have been killing each other for centuries...don't assume just because we have some white people who are now Islamic that there wouldn't be violence There is another solution...what if the Middle East converts to Christianity? Wouldn't that solve the issue as well...what do you think?

" impatient terrorists " I know I shouldn't find it funny but something about the concept of an impatient terrorism does make me laugh

Guess he was too inept to source a gun, or learn how to use the knife. Its extremely hard to get firearms in the UK, Northern Ireland excluded, unless you know and are trusted by real criminals or syndicates This guy wouldnt have had the associations with either of those groups so it would have been very difficult for him to get a firearm so the whole knife\panga form of attack makes sense

Ukraine Discussion
This is a relevant link, the result is the oil price will stay low and this will continue to have a huge negative impact on the Russian economy Add to that the EU and USA sanctions and its really not a good picture for Russia being able to revive its seriously faltering economy

European Refugee Crisis : Part 2
I agree....and I think the colder countries would be less appealing to anyone coming from the ME?

Gee, I wonder why. Is crypto-fascism and transphobia a turnoff with Finnish girls? What the **** is the matter with you? Do you also scold mothers while burying their children that they should stop praying because there is no God? Or do you dance around cripples who are in wheelchairs asking them to race you? But hey, if my failings in relationships makes you happy with glee, then you're welcome. Oh no....look at who is now overreacting to sarcasm...you must be mature and not respond Its annoying when someone presumes to tell you how you should react to someone else comments hey Meshugger So now you know how I felt when you called me immature for asking for an apology

European Refugee Crisis : Part 2
I would be celebrating the reasons whatever they are...the less of refugees who want to immigrate to Canada the better. I wonder how your media and liberals will take this....do you think they see this as some sort of indictment towards Canada? You know how the media can over-analyze things

I'd probably change their mascot, if I had my say. Atheists have a mascot ?

Okay well I must say it took less time than I thought for you to admit this but well done for acknowledging this So what is the first thing you want to change about Islam? I don't understand your question, what i want to change about Islam? What do you mean by that? Islam is a religion, there are millions of Muslims, and islam itself have many sects and branches You are an atheist right? So what if i ask you "what do you want to change about atheism?" Oh I thought you said "there is something wrong with the religion " so I assumed you wanted to change Islam? I dont think you can change atheism?
