I think that will be very challenging for you. Oh you bad boy...no dinner for you, off to bed !!! Yes you make some good points, another reason is most animals are seen as defenseless as opposed to humans But we shouldn't kid ourselves, in my own country people do live and die in poverty ...so we talking about the type of poverty that leads to death for human beings.For example people die in South Africa from exposure to the elements

Its more than that, people join campaigns like "save the Rhino " and they have never seen a rhino in RL Lets try to challenge our insight tonight Gfted1

Does it not bother you that you seem to care more about an animal then a human being? I have asked myself this question myself, in South Africa white folks really love there pets and sometimes there is this accusation " white people care more about animals than impoverished black people " ....I don't think this is fair. We care about lots of different things like human suffering, starvation, rhinos and poverty But I do sometimes feel a little guilty...and I'm not sure why ? For example my mom has 3 dogs and she does spend a lot of money on there well being..probably more than she gives directly to charity? But she does give money outside of the obvious to NGO and charity examples So I guess I am asking why do we seem to really care about more about pets than ostensibly about people who live in poverty?

Thats cruel ....I hope our Canadian members realize you aren't referring to there beloved pets

And Moose...you like Moose, they also very loyal All Canadians are partial to Moose which is why its the most popular pet in your country

That's how I read your post at first, bruce I'm not sure if this a statement about me or about my opinion of you, though I guess it's the latter Its probably more shaped by your accurate opinion of me

Sounds kinda cool, I like dreams that are based on games I play ...I am still waiting for my Isabella or Viconia dream ....

Bruce why do you have against us? You would really condemn us to a bad president just because you have to satisfy your ideological itch of seeing a woman as president? The system is ****ed, the people's candidate always gets buried and miscast while the two corporate circus freaks are promoted. I'm surprised of how American democracy looks like Cuban Socialism. You see my friend the real question is " do you think Obama has been a good president " ? Because Clinton will be much of the same and that's a good thing IMO, a very very good thing for the overall strength of the USA I have almost given up trying to convince people why Obama has been so good for the USA, history will vindicate my support of him But also Hilary Clinton comes with a wealth of experience so its not just the fact she is a women, yes that is part if it I won't deny that, its the fact she is equally qualified, if not more so, than any other candidate So the better question is " why not Hilary Clinton " ? I don't think he has been a good President, most of his accomplishments have been without real substance. In his defense I could say that indeed he inherited a great mess and that the system has been broken for years, it will be difficult to repair it in just 2 terms. But then I remember that he's the drone strike lord, which is what makes me fear Hillary cuz I don't think she is as nice a person. There seems to be this blanket judgment on drone strikes as them being a bad and unacceptable military strategy, I don't support this view The usage of drone strikes makes sense in lots of cases. For example there primary use has been against the Taliban in Western Pakistan and Afghanistan and questions are just ignored about why the USA deploys drones? The Taliban and its affiliated groups like Al-Qaeda don't fight a conventional war in Afghanistan, they wage war against the the Coalition forces in Afghanistan and then cross the border to Pakistan where they regroup and strategize. The current Pakistan government has no control over these Al-Qaeda influenced areas so what is the USA suppose to do? Just let the Taliban cross the border and think they can come back to Afghanistan in the summer...no this makes no sense. Now they could deploy ground troops into Pakistan but then we have many other issues like the sovereignty of the Pakistan government because even though those parts of Pakistan are not under the control of the Pakistan government its still part of there country So drone strikes make sense, there has to be some punitive military steps against people who want to engage in war against the USA and its allies in Afghanistan and think they can hide in some other country

I have just finished GTAV, I spent about 90 hours completing it Its a superlative game, Rockstar are geniuses at creating exciting and living worlds. They design characters that are believable and really make you laugh. And of course as I mentioned before the parody talk show radio stations like Blaine County Radio offer some of the funniest dialogue I have ever heard in my life I took my time playing this game and really explored large parts of the game world, thats one of the fun components with this type of game ..random exploring and creating mayhem and havoc with unsuspecting people Its gets a worthy 78/100

Since you seem to want constructive criticism one of the issues I have had with your debating etiquette is not that you make long posts, its that you expect people to respond in the same way. So if some response is not either very detailed or doesn't address all your points you feel people " are not debating in good faith"...but not everyone wants to spend hours on one debate. So maybe learn to expect 1 or 2 responses in a discussion ? And of course you don't always do this but sometimes you do

That would be funny but the USA wouldn't be laughing when we see all the harm he would wreck on your countries reputation and political status in the world after his presidency ended

Yes those issues are just a political distraction I am more interested in genuine issues and concerns with her, like some of the real issues I have with Trump

OMG !!! If that is your typical Canadian Conservative then I truly fear for the Conservative future....how rude was that guy....its like he is some ranting loon, why insult the media in such a way?

So the race for the Democratic presidential candidate nomination is getting interesting, Clinton is on 47% and Sanders gets 29 %.....I am still firmly confident and happy with Hilary Clinton getting the nomination but Sanders growing support worries me a little http://www.newsmax.com/Headline/Poll-Clinton-Democrats-Slipping/2015/08/19/id/670812/

Oh sorry this post had nothing to do with our discussion, it was addressed to someone else and I was suppose to edit it but got distracted and never finished

What about your other monthly expenses like insurance, the levy, bond repayments, food bills etc. How do you factor those into overall profitability?

Good post Gromnir, I hope everyone reads it and absorbs what you are saying

No I don't get it because I don't accept conspiracy theories I operate in the world of facts

Hurlshot only you can and should decide that..but decide that you should and remember "If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything"

Really ..you didn't like TD 2? Why would you say that....was it the deaths at the end ? I did battle to follow certain parts of the plot but I still enjoyed in thoroughly

Come on Hurlshot ....lets use a little common sense when I say " California " is a liberal state...I really didn't think I would to explain this one to you If you take cities like San Diego areas like Silicon Valleys and events like Prop 8 you will notice the state is synonymous with Liberal values...as I mentioned stop denying you a liberal

Volo ironically that is part of the problem. Its a misperception alignment, you guys think these SJ changes and criticisms are about making people miserable when if you just bothered to see the big picture you would realize they are about making society better for all Despite all the explanations some of you guys refuse to get it but most people get it. Hurlshot for example, even if he denies it at times, gets it. People that live in a liberal state like California get it. Of course not all SJ campaigns are valid ...we must recognize failures and wrong approaches. But these are then rectified and we move on

The Society of Professional Journalism got a panel together to discuss the failures in covering Gamergate and other leaderless movements and how they can do better going forward. Guys I can tell all of you exactly why GG failed...you don't need the SPJ I won't be condescending but its a fair amount of writing so I wont post it unless someone specifically wants to know the Society of Professional Journalists agreeing with GG. Yeah, totally not needing that. Nope, nu-uh, no way. Absolutely not. Meshugger you make me laugh

One of the main points was how every other leaderless group journalists stressed that fringe elements were fringe elements, and shouldn't be defined by them, where with GamerGate the journalists went out of their way to define it by its fringe elements.

Okay thanks for clarifying, I misunderstood what you meant. You are a nice guy, you often explain things to the lost and confused I respect that about you as it demonstrates a strength of character ...you need to tell your folks what I said, they may give you some relief of debt But I can still explain the intrinsic failures of GG if someone wants...I just have less inclination now
