You may be right but without real purpose and meaningful strategy they will just be a vociferous and annoying movement that wont implement real change You can't stop PC guys, its best just to work within the system Yes you can, just like Communism eventually bent and traded ideology for the more practical aspects of capitalism and how Capitalism has become more socialized so too will the PC eventually be sanitized. The political correctness crowd want to have a monopoly on what correct means, eventually they will meet with the same thing that caused other systems to change: the public. You guys and your hyperbole....PC is not an ideology, no need to compare it to proper global beliefs like Communism

I watched The Changeling again....if you haven't seen it I strongly suggest you watch it. Its based on a true story and stars Angelina Jolie and its all about how her son goes missing in the 1920's...there are many things I loved about it but it highlights just how intense and rampant sexism was and how women use to be dismissed...but don't think its about SJ issues. Its not

He is already getting that. Bernie will be portrayed as a kooky old man with ideas that aren't well thought out(ie outside of the "acceptable" range for mainstream US politics) and referred to as "not serious" every time is brought up. At debates, his answers will differ wildly from the canned responses by the rest of the field and he will drop some heavy truth bombs. Trump is more inline with your thinking than mine Bruce. Yes I like some of his corporate policies, you right KP but he is far too focused on the side of big business....I do believe in a degree of corporate responsibility and empathy towards people from disadvantaged backgrounds

Dude I'm going to be honest...I have NO idea what you saying but I'm very stoned so it might just be me It was explained in my prior comment. When you are a victim of hate, you feel what can be considered 'bad feelings', sometimes that divulge into depression and such - rather than allowing it to lead into depression through your own malfunction, you should treat these feelings as a comforting nature, or try to rise above it somehow. Metaphorically, if you are hot-headed, you seek coldness - in some scenarios more heat, but if you're simply trying to find comfort then the alternative is water ( when thought of, and related to, feels more comfortable and is a literal opposite of fire ). All I'm saying is rather than taking hate for something bad, understand it as something natural, flexible and a feat that can be conquered. That's clever, I like it

Western spies forced to pullout : Snowden to blame
BruceVC replied to BruceVC's topic in Way Off-Topic
Well that is a huge relief ...but it doens't make sense that the government would want to him to print such a unbelievable story knowing it would be questioned ? What would be the purpose? I should have scrutinized the facts more closely because looking back it does seem unlikely Because it muddies the water. Because many people may see the first report but not the reveal that it's bollocks. The Daily Mail here often publishes 'apologies' for headlines it has done that were utter lies yet most people don't see them, so while the truth 'gets out' not everyone will hear it. Yeah, people are so harried by real life that they only have time to remember headlines. Retractions either don't happen or are nested amongst some back page fluff so most readers only remember that a pasty, bespectacled traitor has endangered their safety. To be honest it was a serious indictment on Snowden if it was real....I am annoyed that it got to me. The newspaper needs to check its facts with stories this consequential -

To be honest I see hate as an unnecessary emotion and one that should be avoided if possible I can understand getting annoyed or feeling stressed out, those are natural but not hate. That is something which we create and feed And thus hate is like a dogs bark, because any emotion withdrawn from it would be cancelled to an acceptable feeling of the body. Define " acceptable feeling of the body "...it sounds interesting

Dude you really funny...I don't get why some people seem to get really annoyed with you....you never malicious ?

I only play as a male, I'll be honest I probably won't play a game like Dishonored 2 if its only a female character because I need to identify with my character for the RP experience

I doubt you could really hate something as lifeless as a vegetable, you really dislike vegetables ...you can't say you hate them ? Well if your dog was raped it would probably cause an uncontrollable emotional reaction and you would act on that....the hate would be a temporary emotion amongst other things like rage, anger and sorry....so the hate in this case is also not real So you not weak...you just like your dog a lot
-
What if somebody stabs your Gam-gam in the face and rapes your dog? Would you turn the other cheek? Don't get me wrong, I get angry and act on that but I can't say I hate anything that has directly interacted in my life You can do everything without hate trust me

As i said, you are funny on your ignorance. I´m so anti-western living in Austria, a western country which i would never leave. God you are ignorant. 1. Ehm no. Thats not what subjectivity means at all. It´s my opinion. 2. How is it flawed? This is typical for you...making statements but never elucidating them, or proof them. China is not perfect but an economical powerhouse. You won´t get any help or ideas from the US, take a look at their economic system and how horrible it is. (trillions of debt, unemployment rising, cities going bankrupt, all easy info to find) 3. I assume you probably mean the US again as the example...yeah nice living..on debt. Democracy is a nice thing, sadly we live in representative democracies, where politicans always lie for their benefit and then do whatever they want as soon as they are elected. But yes a real democracy would something i would like to see for a change. 4. No one? You mean all that talk about ISOLATING russia coming out of the mouths of persons like Obama (go look at some interviews) is a lie? They are just not able too. Annexed? Funny, the referendum of the people of Crimea, observerd by over 70 international observers says something different. In fact that is legally in the UN charta. The only thing that was not legal, was that the soldiers (allready on the ground because of the military base) went out to (peacfully btw, not ONE shot) remove the armed forces of Ukraine AFTER Ukraine attacked the civilians in the east Ukraine. As far as i see it, he protected Crimea, and they are very happy about that. You should go there for holidays, it´s a real beautiful place in summer. And after that you should make a tour of the destroyed remains of east-ukraine, but careful or Kiev Grad might hit you in the head. Patriotic? Patriotism is one of the most stupid things in existence. A falls sense of pride so that idiots go and fight wars for goverments. Oh don´t get me wrong, i would defend my home with all means. Because i live here and like it here, not because i was born here by accident. But i would never follow dumb idiots into wars, in countries that are none of my business. I mean come on. Look at the war history of the US, this highly patriotic country. A little bit of flag waving and some american and god slangs and they are off killing people all over the world. LOOK at the ****ing history man, it´s written in blood. Oh for bloody hell: a) Austria is not Germany b) Germans don´t look down on Russians, in fact people are not happy about sanctions and don´t believe the **** they get fed too. The backlash, pressure on big outlets and viewer drops of this anti-russian crap is telling c)Hitler has nothing at all to do with this e) and this is something important. Europe had many wars in it´s past, but after it was done we made peace and moved on. This is in contrast to what the "empires" did and do, see history of UK and America. I mean you live in Africa for gods sake, you should know better than that. What you also don´t seem to get is that this is also Russian idiology, you can be an enemy in the past, but a good friend now. Otherwise they would never do business with Germany, not hard to understand is it? And don´t even try to point out American and German "friendship" now, because even the germans know they are still effectly occupied. As for the EU, the list is so long....the short story? over 70% off laws come from Brussel, from non elected people, thats not a democracy, it´s the opposite. Not having our own courrency is a disaster. Their laws ruin this country and others. THATS why....and many many more reasons. 5. See, in contrast to you I HAVE shown in this thread that there is NO single proof of any Russian military there, have easily pointed out WHY Russians are willingly fighting there, HAVE debunked enough lies and proven them material, mostly coming out of the mouths of these people you seem to like so much. Not that it matters, nowdays there are volunters in the Donbas from all over europe (it´s a nice thing to have phone cameras these days) and even the OSCE must admit the constant violations of the Minsk 2 from Kiev. All that together proofs me right, and makes you look like the one who is totally misinformed, ignorant and blind. But because you can´t come up with something, this will again be an one sided discussion. So there is no point in talking with you any more or is there? 1. No it is subjective, you said I have no idea what I'm talking about. Please refer to the definition http://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/subjective?showCookiePolicy=true ""of, relating to, or emanating from a person's emotions, prejudices, etc ⇒ subjective views" No need to thank me, we all sometimes make mistakes with the usage of English words 2. BRICS is flawed, it has benefited the South African economy very little because we are flooded by Chinese goods that undercut our own local goods and the Chinese dictate to us who can visit out country. They said we musn't allow the Dala Lama to visit and somehow his visa wasn't arranged in time 3, Okay so for you there are no real Democracies...okay well I'm sorry you see it like that. Just because Democracies have issues it doesn't mean they don't exist. What would be your ideal system of government or what country has your ideal system of government 4. Are you seriously suggesting that the Crimea referendum was legitimate ? Just to clarify what I mean. I am not saying that the majority of the people in Crimea didn't want to be part of Russia. I am saying the referendum was illegitimate because no one except Russia and its allies recognized it which means it won't get the global recognition it needs. Austria is basically like Germany's little brother. You have such strong cultural ties you may as well be "mini-Germany " ...nothing wrong with that by the way. Germany is an economic powerhouse, I wish my country had such strong ties with another country 5. Obviously Russia will say the soldiers in Ukraine are "volunteers " ...they aren't exactly going to admit to sending troops. See the link below to understand the Russian strategy http://www.rferl.org/content/russia-nemtsov-report-ukraine-war/27011532.html Well we can continue the debate but I don't see much point because there is very little you can say to change my mind ?But I did enjoy the exchange of views

Western spies forced to pullout : Snowden to blame
BruceVC replied to BruceVC's topic in Way Off-Topic
This is ultimately the fault of the same government that spout all those ideals that they fail to live up to. Is it such a surprise that people are disillusioned with the state of the West? Also, this is politics there are no clear black and white and it seems like the West is the darker shade of grey. I hear you but frankly I don't really care if people are disillusioned with the state of West. That isn't really the point I am raising. I have always maintained that Assange and Snowden have attempted to damage the national security of the West, this was denied by some. We now have a reality where spies have been recalled from China and Russia. These spies could have been in operation for years and now that information gathering has to start again. This clearly has a negative impact to the Wests information gathering ability, this really should concern all of us as it does undermine the West's overall security -
The "rape culture" moral panic on US college campuses
BruceVC replied to Ineth's topic in Way Off-Topic
Volo, its not necessary to characterize people as " evil Nazi SJW " Personally I don't care what you call me because I know it comes from a position of ignorance and I'm use to some people trying to insult me But you need to realize that most people will get annoyed by this and be offended. So I can completely understand Hurlshots perspective -

I take back what I said, this can impact you. I do see the concern The one consolation I can give you is this is not widespread
