    I think we may be talking cross-purposes here. As I understand, you are referring to a single instance, a particular case which, when viewed separately, may not be something that a discerning individual would consider particularly convincing. Myself, I am attempting to propose a viewpoint in...

    Yes, what's a bit of fun, anyhow?

    Funny (political, religious) pictures

    Personally, I'm not referring to any particular instance, Twitter or otherwise. I would just wish that the nation which once claimed to be the leader of the free world would f*cking grow up already.

    Funny (political, religious) pictures

    Yet quite a few people in the real world are willing to take the POTUS to task over anything that is posted in his name on Twitter. It matters to a degree, don't you think? I'm sure the black propagandists would agree whole-heartedly with that. And the defenders would as well; entirely fictious...

    You can laugh about it, but something like this is why one can't trust anything anybody says about US politics anymore. You are just spreading the mis-statements of your side, and they are spreading theirs. I wish you all the best.

    Gas Bandit's Political Thread V: The Vampire Likes Bats

    It would seem to me that many people over here believe that ICE (ice baby) are not behaving up to the standards one might expect from an agency of the United States government. They seem to have an Office of Professional Responsibility where complaints may be lodged. I understand that, at...

    Gas Bandit's Political Thread V: The Vampire Likes Bats

    I don't know how things work in your neck of the woods, but is it really the case that a guard at the entrance to a military base has no right to ask for ID from a person who wants to get in? Or is this more of a 'no right to ask for documents of immigration status' thing?

    I can respect that. Here's hoping for the best.

    Minor victory thread

    I'm happy for your aunt. Hopefully she will have a nice trip to the US. But. While I am not an expert in immigration affairs, and certainly not in US immigration affairs, and am operating on the basis of the information you have shared in that post, I still wonder if she will get the visa...

    You get what you pay for. Did they promise you something more than what they are able to deliver? Or what exactly is the problem here?

    Thank you for the information. An approach where the issue is laid bare in the beginning will certainly serve to permit all present to draw up their conclusions as to what may be the appropriate position to reach. An alternative approach is one where you promote discussion by withholding full...

    Nothing I can google up about hoarding that's less than three years old. Anything your google-fu can come up with?

    I know I am monstrously late with this, as I do not usually follow this thread. But if you wish to discuss whether the changes in cocoa bean price are due to exploitative labor practices, as opposed to regular market forces, please let me know and I'd be happy to exchange views...

    The Random Crap Thread 2: It Hits the Fan.

    Now that the holiday season is over or at least nearing over, please permit me to share some advice on certain issues. NEVER go to a strip tease club with your buddies while having your credit card in your wallet, and a number of pints under your belt. Number 1 is an ESPECIALLY bad idea if you...

    I wonder: Did Roy Moore ever say that slavery was a better condition than the one that is currently prevailing? Or did he actually say that, on balance, things were better in that specific time period, regardless of the evils of slavery? I mean, which ever period of history one thinks that...

    ... I think I might need this one explained to me. Not that anyone here is obliged to explain their career choices or free time interests to me, after all it's none of my business, but... well.

    [News] Bombings, Mass Attacks, Terrorism, etc - Catch all thread

    That is pretty much business as normal. But 300+ dead in a single attack? Well, I guess an incident needs something special to attract the interest of the world. Kidnapping women and girls to take as wives is commonplace in the peripheries of Nigeria, and has been for centuries. And then the...

    [News] Bombings, Mass Attacks, Terrorism, etc - Catch all thread

    Assuming we are still talking about individual incidents of islamic terror, could you cite a few of those 200+ dead attacks? I do not seem to be able to find all that many. I'm using Wikipedia and the anti-islamic terror Religion of Peace as sources. A few mass graves have been discovered in...
