  1. I want to remind everyone what we are talking when we mention SA:
  2. Are you sure? Some might prefer Amiri. Or Jaethal. You can romance Jaethal? Is.. Is it technically.. you know.. necrophilia?
  3. well Diablo 1 have very limited cutscenes but story was kinda nice (but really simple) but most of it was from ingame chat and books you found thats force me to post this again:
  4. yeah, paying ransom to Turkey was really great move
  5. well she is technically man, so not sure about that part Legally not technically, no ? my bad
  6. Woot? We have one of the lowest crime rates in the world, not to mention violent crime. As for deportation, I guess Australia is the lucky one it here than (I know kinda rough statement)
  7. well she is technically man, so not sure about that part
  8. Well I am pretty sure USA does not care where people at their southern border are from, they just don't let them in Anyway its really not issue for me. Its west EU who got burning cars and rape gangs. As long as we are the poor part we are safe (guess why)
  9. Mass flight from Syrian and Iraq and then from several African countries has showed that European countries refugee laws which are based on UNHCR - The 1951 Refugee Convention (and its extension in 1967) don't work well when there is such mass of people seeking asylum. Which is why many countries made emergency changes on their laws in order to limit amount people coming in. Addition to European refugee laws, we saw that countries weren't really prepared to handle such mass of immigrants coming every day for months, meaning there was no process/procedure that countries officials would follow, which allowed lots of unregistered people enter in EU area where they were able to travel freely thanks to EU's free travel agreements. But eventually countries were able to put processes in place to control those masses, but it lead to new problem in southern Europe, especially in Italy and Greece which are two main countries where people enter in EU, which is that they have now big camps of people whose refugee status need to be determined and other EU countries are reluctant to offer their help in that. UNHCR - The 1951 Refugee Convention (and its extension) gives people right to seek asylum and countries obligation to go through comprehensive process to determine if their situation demands international protection aka asylum. Meaning that even though situation of their home country didn't fulfil criteria of asylum in case of majority of people who come to seek asylum or better life during refugee crisis, our laws forced officials to go through that comprehensive process in case of every one who seek asylum and most of the countries didn't really have enough people who handled asylum applications to handle amount of applications they faced and addition to that in asylum seekers whose applications were rejected had/have right to complain to courts about their rejected application, which means another time consuming process before our laws allow to deport person whose application was rejected. And even after official finally get right to deport person it can be quite problematic as Iraq, Syria and some African countries refuse to take person back as in many cases there are no deportation agreement between European countries and said target countries, which can mean that those people who have given deportation order stay in limbo state where they don't have right to stay in the country where they sought asylum, but officials can't force them go to their home country, which has lead to voluntary return policy where governments pay asylum seekers money if they voluntary go back to their home country. problem is, if you don't 'catch' those people at borders and they lie to you about country of origin, where do you deport them? They don't have papers with them on purpose (not always) Also those laws you mention require those seeking asylum to do so in first secure country. There is plenty of those around the world but we all know why this flood of people is heading to Germany. I am sorry but I don't feel for those people, and worst part is that people will loose feeling even for those who would deserved it. Also paying someone to GTFO where they should not be in first place just encourage such actions also this:
  10. yeah, thats your opinion, I am not that sure that those millions of poeple are really refugees and it seems Germany is not sure either, latest news from Germany shows that 70% of 'refugees' are lying. But they wanted to look good and now millions of people who oppose our humanitarian values are inside our borders. I don't think its good news.
  11. In the highly unlikely and indubitably disastrous event that the EU crashes who is going to provide economic stability and prosperity for countries like Czech, who is the alternative ? Mother Russia is not your savior as you well know we lived in economic growth and stability 20 years before joining EU, we will manage to do so after as well, but thanks for your concerns The world has changed and so have ways to ensure economic prosperity Its is much more logical, sustainable and effective to negotiate trade deals if you part of a larger, united block of countries like the EU than to be on your own The EU represents the worlds wealthiest union of countries, I am not sure why you think leaving it would make any realistic economic sense ? well i gave you few examples above how wealthy EU members screw over those less fortunate, but it seems you either ignore posts you don't like or you are not getting it so what more I can present to you? EU is now very similiar to COMECON. I suggest you to read it. Was great fun! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comecon Those things are agreed by most of the less fortunate countries, because otherwise they would not go through EU's tiresome decision bureaucracy. Most of the EU's rules are accepted unanimously by member countries governments. Any decision needs 55% (16) of EU countries vote for it, 72% (21) if proposal does not come from Commission and then also those countries need to have 65% (~333 million) of EU population living in them. Minority of countries can block any decision if there are at least 4 countries who oppose decision and they have at least 35% of EU's population (~180 million) living in them. I don't remember about any vote about opening borders by Angela, yet she somehow is now telling its everyone problem, go figure

  13. What exactly are taxes stealing? How else is the government going to make money? There are ways to fund a government other than taxes. But not at anywhere near the levels required for current spending orgies at all levels. But just because taxes cannot be dispensed with does not mean they are not literally stealing our money. cmon man, no-one likes taxes and goverment overspending but you live in makebelieve lands if you think you don't need gov at all

  15. Yes in the case of the recent Cape Town drought my family and friends living in Cape Town bought water in large quantities and would store the water, for example, in there garages but not everyone can afford to buy bottled water, this is just a reality for a country like SA where we have massive economic gap between people Take a look at the conditions some impoverished people live in and consider how they could pay for bottled water https://za.pinterest.com/susansmit/squatter-camps-south-africa/?lp=true hah, bigger problem in SA is complete incopetence that economic gap
  16. well, its your opinion, rich countries bought a lot of business in east EU and syphon taxes to their home countries while using subsidies to protect their own business at home while at same time virtue signaling with open borders for out of EU migrants. I don't see much irony here. We get how we are viewed in western EU, we just don't care much - with Brexit almost done EU will probably soon crumbe itself as it will be only French and Germans arguing who get to screw others more
  17. Protectionism is great capitalist method when USA does it, but when rich EU countries do it is Marxism well it would be ok if EU country does not do it against other EU members, got it? Anti-EUism is good thing until it hits home no idea where you are heading with this? I am pro free trade inside EU as it was originally supposed to be, but some power players just decide that they will instead of customs as it used to be previously pushed subsidities everyone in EU have to pay now. so instead of polish farmers had to pay customs for their products inside EU but have reasonable options to sell outside of EU now have to pay French farmers cash so they can rule them over while french having still 3 time avarage sallary as poles. Awesome
  18. Protectionism is great capitalist method when USA does it, but when rich EU countries do it is Marxism well it would be ok if EU country does not do it against other EU members, got it?
  19. true, but thats because: a) cost is not high enough b) if it is, there is always way around it
  20. But in certain cases its an excellent way to motivate people and corporations to adhere to certain laws and social responsibilities For example in SA we had a real water crisis in Cape Town so there was a " water tax " on all water consumed in Cape Town to ensure people used water sparingly and in most cases it worked People tend to be very committed to doing the right thing when they know its going to cost them thats some twisted logic, people are commited to do whatever is its going to cost them
  21. I am sure I don't have to define to you what Marxism is, you can read their manifesto if you didn't but its beside the point. Some of us still remember how real marxism looks like in reality. but back to EU to give you some, lets say economical example: https://www.euractiv.com/section/road-safety/news/controversial-eu-labour-rules-tackle-truck-drivers-pay-and-working-conditions/ and: https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-eu-budget-agriculture/eu-proposes-to-cut-farm-subsidies-france-says-unacceptable-idUSKBN1I31WW edit, incorect link
  22. really? https://www.diablowiki.net/Art_controversy
  23. Well, melkathi, that's because you are a gentleman and a scholar. Tag would be below you. Heh, this makes me chuckle, colleague at work told me exactly same thing today just because I shaved my head bald :D
  24. Well lets be real here, if you decide to let bounty go you probably should not expect to get 'mission accpomplished'? Or am I missing something?
