  1. TYT aren't perfect but they are on the ball for economic and poverty issues, and criticism of money in politics.

  5. He kind of admitted to having been physically attracted to men in the TYT interview but claims to have resisted his urges. Maybe he did. But it's clearly still in his mind.

  7. South Korea yes. China, not really. China has a policy of returning north koreans to north korea, i hate to think what happens to them after that. They have to journey through China for much of the journey but it's not in their interest to stay there long, they then go through other countries in south east asia, like phillipines to get to South Korea. I think the embassy there accepts them.

  8. Social programs are socialistic in nature but also rely on capitalism. The government backs schemes to improve quality of life for the poorer people, often at the expense of capitalists who have the heaviest burden through taxes. It's a partial redistrubution of wealth which is socialistic in nature if not out and out socialism. The right wingers like to call it socialism when it doesn't work but if shown an example of it working it is not socialism. The truth is that socialism is pretty broad term with varying degrees but this day and age a good social democracy can only survive it doesn't squeeze too much from capitalism.

  10. Much as i opposed the 2003 iraq war i think this current small scale intervention is necessary. The US is doing good things in helping the Yazidis and we can't have groups like ISIS sweep everything away, merely because they have the most aggressive fighters.

  15. Most Ukranians generally want to move toward closer ties with EU but many Ukranian citizens are ethnic russians and prefer closer ties (but not an out and out union) with Russia. Especially within the Crimea and cities like Sebastopol. Perks of EU membership for ukranians will be it will be easier for them to look for work in member state countries. Something that highly irritates many people in western europe as it's deemed, rightly or wrongly (it's a whole other complex topic) to keep wages and worker conditions lower. However, a perk for both the Ukraine and EU member states is a large market for it's potentially very rich agricultural produce which may likely help keep food prices low in EU. This is probably why Russia doesn't want to let Ukraine move away from it's sphere. The downside could be higher energy prices as the country (as well as EU increasingly) does depend on Russia fossil fuel quite a lot. Russia could make energy supply more difficult for Ukraine if they move more toward the EU.

  20. Mr. Provocative films You'd think this would be the case. Maybe even expand on it, so that on top of a ban on exporting water, all bottled water on sale in California must come from out of state. And that should be the case until water stocks recover.

  21. Less stressful jobs with no pressure (flip side they may be a bit boring) would go a long way to help. Problem is all such jobs pay a pittance with zero hour contracts etc. The people with such conditions wouldnt be able to make a living from them. The possibility of only getting 20 hours, and not being able to pay rent or bills will only make the depression worse.

  34. Remember in UK age of consent is 16. So sometimes these 'accidents' happen. Sure one should be more careful but the 70's parties were pretty wild, when one is high on booze and drugs youre not really in a position to assess the situation so well.

  35. +Gary Proudfoot I wouldnt go that far, they (TYT) do get it wrong some of the time (and sometimes quite badly) but i think they are right more often than they are wrong. I do agree with Kyle a lot more though.

  37. Bangladesh did have a progressive and left leaning secular leadership once at the time of the independance war vs Pakistan/East Pakistan but it has since slid into a regressive islamic leadership. The progressive remnant and their successors have been sidelined, hounded/bullied and even killed as we see here. It's pretty sad as it once was one of the hopes to be the kind of moderate muslim states Reza Aslan likes to pretend is almost a norm.

  48. I don't like outsourcing but for the natives (such as in Bangladesh) it can be a lifeline where otherwise there wouldn't be one. In an ideal world for me we wouldn't outsource and the natives of those countries would fight and re-organise to create a fairer society where things aren't that desperate.

  49. There is a loose link. Even if supporting Gamergate doesn't make you alt right, it created a feminist backlash which the alt right capitlised on, due to feminists being in the wrong on that one.

  51. It's just their hobby i guess. It's all because of the present youtube format, where thumbs down doesnt work properly (you can only thumb down your own thumb up) And conservative trolls, they are a close knit group, ideologically motivated with the most powerful (in the raw sense of the word) of negative energies, hate! They band together, if one has taken the extra time to check out a progressive site and be negative, i'm sure the others will thumb it up instantly. Liberals on the other hand will generally check other liberal sites and if someone says something kind or agreeable it's generally the norm. Therefore they'll only thumb up particular comments that stand out. Something worth bearing in mind as well, people that love trolling may have gone that far as to make extra accounts to seem more popular. It's easy enough to do, just time consuming and kinda sad really that people have nothing better to do. Now, my theory is that perhaps being part of the TYT network draws this close knit group of trolls here. And because the audience of David Pakman show is smaller than TYT (no offence, TYT is a massive show, David Pakman show is quite respectable) the troll comments and their support seems to make more impact proportionally.

  54. No you get that award Bandog because Trickledown Economics simply has not worked well because it hasn't trickled down, it tends to end up amassing in places like offshore tax havens whilst the infrastructure decays. Middle out is the best economic policy in terms of creating more opportunity.

  55. +Fat Sack I know of the armenian genocide and i do think Cenk should stop being evasive about it. But whilst the historical young turks did begin as a liberal reform movement in the autocratic, corrupt and incompetent Ottoman goverment, it eventually got taken over by right wing nationalists like Enver Pasha in particular, who was a bit of a nutter and all round nasty piece of work. But the thing is, in the 20th century the term 'The Young Turks' came to mean a reformist, usually a rebellious or radical one at that and the historical movement largely fell out of popular consciousness. But in recent times the armenian genocide has become more known and talked about and recognised internationally. Which is a good thing of course. Yet as late as the 90's the term 'The Young Turk' of the party was bandied about in british media particularly those that covered current politics of the day. It was used to describe Tony Blair and his 'New Labour' project to move the party away from socialism which was increasingly seen as anachronistic. 10 years earlier it was used to describe Margaret Thatcher and her supporters who wanted to move the conservative party in an economically more neo-liberal direction as opposed to the more statist conservatives like Edward Heath. At the time Cenk came up with the name for the show he obviously had the latter in mind for the most part. As his goal is to reform American politics in a more liberal/progressive direction, a so called 'young turk' of the democrats.  But keeping it real, he probably still thought the Armenian genocide was exagerrated and didn't happen around that time he came up with the name, but all accounts seem to indicate he has changed his mind now, but remains evasive, perhaps he feels it protects his family in Turkey from repercussions under an increasingly authoritarian and conservative government under Erdogan. Most turks are very nationalist and take offence really easily and Cenks family could end up getting harassment if he put out a video on the subject.

  60. I find that men who feel the need to broadcast 'i'm alpha your beta' etc are the saddest. These self declared alphas go on about it because they are insecure about themselves and hope that by saying and repeating it over and over they may become that, which is a nonsense. If there is such a thing as an alpha male, and lets keep it real i think there is. It's the men who are successful and confident but combine it with humility and a modicum of virtue who are the real alphas. They would never declare it. And actions speak louder than brash words and beating ones chest. Otherwise for all your money and showing off youre just the asshole that no-one likes. Pardon my french ;)

  64. Didn't gamergate begin because a male gaming critic had a fling with a female indy game developer? And some gamers were saying such a relationship made the review of the her game biased, but some on the left said that such allegations were sexist? Or am I missing something big here? Because that criticism gamers had seems legit to me.

  66. I don't think David writes the thumbnail headers, but whoever does seems to be regressing into the clickbaity mind-set. I remember DP Show getting a bit of a reputation for click-bait a few years back, i think it was 2015/2016, and then it toned down. But this reminds me of those times.

  74. Chris Tubestinks Every now and then the ancients, partly through imagination would get things right. Another example though this isnt religious is the ancient greek atomic theory. That everything is made of tiny building blocks we cannot see. Atomists would also speculate that there were other worlds in space that contained life, though they imagined it as planets that also had humans rather than picturing bizarre looking aliens.

  81. Not a good idea. I like Bernie but age 65+ not ideal. By this same rationale Clinton and Trump were too old too but the problem is all the younger people tend to suck. We need some new blood.

  87. There was actually an incident regarding appointment of a bishop (Juan Barros) in Chile, where people were protesting that the bishop was understudy and right hand man to a right wing bishop of the Pinochet era, Bishop Karadima who was a notorious pedophile on top of that. Pope Francis called the protestors dumb and expressed disdain for the political left so he isn't as left wing as people make out.

  89. PhillipHunsberger The truth is that even if the middle easterners were all atheists there would still be friction because of western imperialism that has meddled in their politics, overthrown popular leaders, forming of Israel would still cause grievance to Palestinians even they were atheist too. A politically motivated terrorism may have ended up taking form, due to a sense of injustice, but i doubt it would have been less hard core or as widespread as we see with islamically motivated terrorism.

  101. 9.2 million is ok, it doesnt justify it but it is more than he'll ever be able to spend. Now, if it's justice we want it is the authorities that are responsible for imprisoning him, and it is the US prison service that allows inmates to be raped, its an expected part of the prison culture and that is not on. The guards and their supervisor who let him be raped, those that wrongly convicted him. They should have a spell in prison too. Then we will be a step closer to justice.

  102. They do fill an important gap in agriculture though, field labourer roles that often involve tough conditions and low pay, american citizens avoid it. Undocumented farm labourers can be paid even less than minimum wage and are not subject to the full protections of the law. Thus it's a bit of a win for employers in certain fields. Mostly agricultural but perhaps also construction and some factory roles.

  104. +Steve Harris I knew a guy who got more motivated to actually do exercise after he was prescribed anti-depressants/anti anxiety medication however. From what i could tell it was partly because he went from shut in to feeling confident enough to actually go out and leave the house more often. And eventually he started doign things like jogging even. That said, once the drug (in that case it was citalopram and diazepam) stopped being prescribed he kind of fell back to his old ways after a couple of months and became reclusive and put some weight on again. So the drugs can help some people, but i do feel that for others it just makes things worse. I've had other friends where the drugs (which were similar but perhaps different dosages) just made him less active.

  110. ***** Religion? Sure it can have racist aspects. But i thought we were talking of other things. A lot of modern racism as we know it has its roots in the slave trade. Thats why you see it more in formerly high slave zones. But many people that arent actually racist, that get called racist are proven not to be such as TJ Kirk/Amazing atheist recently.

  111. The biggest sign to me that it was a fake, even back then is that 1) They mentioned the source as being 'a source in china' now that's pretty vague. And 2) Story was broken from a populist south korean tabloid. Populist tabloids are known to make stuff up. It's like part of the format.

  112. Marco Antônio Israel Palestine could be contentious but i think that both fundamentally agree that a two state solution is the only solution but may have differences on what (land) goes where and how to go about it. Also, Kyle is no fan of Trump, but he seems to be more in the 'maybe Trump won't be so bad' camp, than David.

  118. "The so called 'Social Justice Warriors' " would be more apt. I was initially sympathetic to SJW's when people started picking on them about 2 years ago. But after finding out about them and what they are like, i discovered that they are terrible, and are holding real left wing causes back. And it makes the left as a whole look bad.

  121. Unfortunately most the smart and educated Liberians were killed in the civil wars, the native Liberians saw them as some kind of colonial oppressor from America (there may have been some truth to that like 100 years ago but in the 70's/80's it was a government for all the people), and then Gaddafi gave the rebels weapons and they went on to commit the most heinous crimes.

  124. We are in the developed world, in the 21st century. Not the 1950's. Going any lower, is going into developing world standards. Sure reading a book, going for a hike. Is all well and good. Especially if they are having to save some money whilst on a low wage. Maybe they need new shoes or a coat so they can't go out to the pub that weekend and stay home to read a book. But it kind of sucks if that is the only ever option for you, or if you are so poor you have to rent a studio with three other people. Why not with eight other people? Like in Victorian Britain? Why not, because it sucks. And is a step backwards. A worker at a basic job should be able to afford to rent a basic flat. Sure, they will probably never be able to buy their own flat or house with a low wage. But at least let be able to pay a basic rent!
    2
  125. Don't get me wrong i think North Korea is the worst government in the world but not too long ago we also had stories like he executed his ex girlfriend and her pop band and he even dropped a missile on her. This makes him out to be more like a james bond pantomime villain and the source quoted back then was that it was from a south korean tabloid that got it from  'a source in china'. A source in china? Well that's no source. Yet everyone took it at face value and the more the story was repeated the more people saw it as fact. The North Korean regime is bad enough, to not need to make fantasy stories and make Un into a fictional super villain. Stick to the facts, the poverty, the secrecy (obvious sign of something to hide) the terrible stories from people who managed to flee the regime. The famine.

  132. I'm not buying it. It reminds me of how neocons used to boast about how good their economy was in the early 2000's while in many respects working conditions and dignities for workers that allowed them to live a healthier work/life balance were being stripped away. In fact, only about 5 years ago Trump was boasting about how well the economy was doing under his presidency and Pakman called it out, i.e. how a lot of the new jobs were pretty crappy ones. But when Team Biden makes the same kind of argument they get a pass.

  133. How will 'winning' be defined? By the collapse of the Assad regime and establishment of some kind of transitional council of a new Syria. Which given Syria's background will likely prove to be even more unstable and volatile than Libya's transitional council.

  135. All Sikhs adopt the name Singh or Kaur (for women) though they dont have to use it as their main surname. It's because the religion abolished castes (which was a big thing in India) as in the Sikh religion all are equal under god. An easy indicator of caste was surname so by keeping it private and using Sikh or Kaur it wouldn't be easy to tell.

  139. That's what i got out of it. Otherwise unless those Trumpists see themselves as the new world order, it sounds weird. But as we know, to the Alex Jones watching Trumpists, The New World Order = Biden and Harris. i.e. 'the globalists'. So I think he's trying to say that the minorities who voted them in will be the first victims to the New World Orders terrible policies for being dumb enough to vote them in. It's a stupid, daft narrative, preferable to 'we're going to attack/kill these racial minorities first for not voting for Trump'. And it's worded badly which isn't too surprising as literacy skills are not the Trumpists forte! :) I won't rule out the possibility that it is the more racist and dangerous version however, some are hateful and stupid enough to wish for things like that. Though even among the nazi/fascist leaning types, like Nick Fuentes for example, they know to keep such ideas quiet and not broadcast it out loud.

  140.  @aggressiveattitudeera887  He's left, he's always been anti-imperialist and pro working class and I respect that of him but that doesn't mean he's always right nor that doesn't have negative traits nor that he can't be an opportunist. Also, I sometimes wonder if he's coked up some of the time.

  141.  @alexusbratva878  He still stands for those things and is anti-imperialist as ever. And pro working class. But Jimmy's hatred for neo-liberalism is allowing him to get played by the conservative right, and worse thing is he probably knows it but see's it as not being a bad thing because on the one hand it helps him financially. And on the other hand he wants the political narrative to be old school left vs the right. Not neo-liberals with a progressive slant vs the right.
    2
  142.  @nocturnalrecluse1216  Liberals are the left? Not necessarily, classical liberals are conservative right wing. Neo liberals are super corporate capitalist and only use progressive values to virtue signal. And progressive liberals who actually are of the left have an increasing tendency to be easily placated by the neo liberals and play into their agenda, if neo-lib shows they support certain progressive causes (that don't hurt their pocket/bottom line) and are against the hard right. Even when the poor keep getting poorer, and the rich keep getting richer. And that's what pisses off people like Dore. Not saying I'm a big Jimmy Dore fan either, I think he's increasingly brash and self aggrandizing but I understand where his stand point is coming from.

  143.  @nocturnalrecluse1216  I didn't say they are a good thing. In fact I even called them out for what they are, right wing conservative so I don't know what your angle is, it's as if you are trying to make me out to be one. My point was just that liberals are not necessarily of the left, for some they want liberalism for economics and markets primarily and don't give two hoots for the poor. And the same can be said for neo-liberals in that regard.

  168. I agree, i seriously doubt a business consortium (which doesnt seem to include any industry giants) and reality tv funding (which makes me loose even more faith in the project) will be able to undertake what is possibly the greatest, or at least bravest expedition ever launched in the history of our civilisation.
    1
  169. Gene Starwind When we do actually set up a real expedition for Mars (i'll take it back if this actually goes ahead) it will be brave and not pointless. It's going further than any humans have gone before, at personal risk. From a more practical point of view the Mars base would set up the groundwork for prospecting and research. By the time a we are actually able to launch a serious expedition (which will likely be much further ahead into the future)  our robotics will be more advanced and we won't be far off having a means to send cargo back to Earth, thus making mining feasible. The base will then be able to work with industry to be able to set up an enlarged base to hold more engineers, machinery and robots with which they can set up mining and a Mars surface launchpad .
    1
  170. The reality tv show is a sham but when we do make a proper expedition it could make great benefits for humancivilisations once our propulsion systems are improved and we can haul the riches back to earth. Launching from Mars will probably be easier than launching from Earth. Maybe the prospectors wont find anything, but maybe they will find gold and other precious metals at a time that our mines will be depleted. Whether the expedition is fruitful or not largely comes down to that.

  180. I kind of agree with one point of the OP. Religion or not, some humans will be inclined to do cruel and evil things. Many will actively strive to take that which is not theres. Take most wars, they arent necessarily fought merely for religions sake. There is an underlying economic reason. We go to war to gain ownership of another peoples land and resources and to expand our influence over them. Whether that be taking direct control, vassalisation, or placing a new government that conforms with you. Even the crusades, the real reason behind all the 'God Wills it!' etc was to control the levant, a crossroads of trade connecting europe to the far east via the silk road. And when the early muslims left the deserts of arabia in their religious conquests it was because pre oil age arabia had barely and resources and the ancient Byzantine and Persian empires not only offered a better climate to live in, but were empires of great wealth and luxury that was there for the taking for any commited and desert hardened warriors.

  202. ultrademigod There was a time of rapproachment of sorts. Once the ottoman empire got weak, relations improved for the most part. More so with the defeat of the ottoman empire because the British were seen by the arabs as being benefactors and liberators over the Ottomans. But growing arab nationalism (which was secular for a time), including cold war elements and also the founding of Israel, and a western need for oil brought an end to it. That said, i agree islam is expansionistic but all human history is. Including the west. Had it not been for the matter that the muslims and middle easterners were quite tough to beat in war, we'd have conquered them and made them a colony long ago. And they would had done the same to us but the military strengths were somewhat similar and western powers were often too busy fighting one another. And to a lesser degree so were the middle easterners.

  219. If there were to be intervention it should be allying with Assad in order to restore pre civil war conditions but this is contrary to the US's global strategy. Yet its the only way there will ever be order and stability, i used to be open minded about the FSA, due to the way the western media initially portrayed them, but they turned out to be a joke. They are weak, unreliable and islamist leaning, not secular leaning. The civil war began though the disgruntlement and frustration of the Syrian people who wanted better conditions and rights due to worsening conditions and increasing repression, but it was quickly taken over by jihadists and islamist factionsi and any hope of the rebels standing for better human rights and democracy went away with that. The condition for aid to Assad is that he reins in his brutal security service which was responsible for the civil war in the first place and opens it to scrutiny as well as agreeing on various conditions to democratize the country by improving human rights, falling short of an out and out democracy which would be too fractitous at present.

Solutions.... hmm. 1) More desalinisation plants 2) More greenhouse based agriculture (maybe some kind of large agri dome structure) 3) Measures to encourage people to have less kids and curbing immigration so that population stops growing at the current rates. Less people = less demand on water. 4) Less fracking and harsher penalties to big companies that pollute water sources.5) Bottled water can only be sourced from out of state.

If a poor urban kid, regardless of race did a crime like that the chances are they would have the book thrown at them, they'd be looking at something closer to 6 years not 6 months. Yes lets have a more rehabilitative prison system, but lets also have a less abritrary judicial system.

  234. frbe0101 Maybe a system of law based on precedent like in the UK? Could be a step in the right direction, and help tackle abritrariness. Other similar rulings can be cited in the court to help continue the precedent. I think in american courts thats not allowed.

  235. frbe0101 A more sensible range than we have at present, could be a positive step forward for a rehabilitative approach. At risk of being arbitrary myself, rather than 6 months to 14 years, two to six years?

  244. Out and out racism is actually relatively rare in UK but a sense of Britain first does sometimes have echoes of xenophobia but really its just out of a sense that a country should support its citizens first, especially when they are struggling. The working class who lost out in jobs and livelihood from competition from workers of EU countries have genuinelly suffered. Wages being kept low is only the half of it. Life on JSA can be very tough, but now that people are subjected to zero hour contracts in order to compete for unskilled jobs, work can actually leave you worse off and facing the prospect of homelessness.

If they are going to die for our pleasure, least we can do is make their short lives pleasant.   Is this productive? No, it isn't. But it's the right thing to do. Eventually foreign meat companies will have to comply or die. Many will go bankrupt. Many will fail. Cry me a river. The good thing is those that survive will enjoy a more humane market.

And everyone would agree that if a stranger offered you a kind gift, out the blue and expected nothing in return. That would be pleasant. This i believe is universal.

  254. There should be always be an option, to guarantee food and shelter, always. For every homeless person. Even if it has to mean a form of welfare for work. They shape up, put in their 6 hours labour for the city authority, they have a roof over their head and 3 hot meals in return, and are put on waiting lists for permanent housing. The reason i say 6 hours a day and not 8 is to not make it exploitative, but still have them give something back, to shut up the right wingers, whilst most importantly, helping them get out of the mire.

Those that declare war however dont tend to make the decision because their blood boiled red and they were enraged. As it the case for most incidences of violence. No, the case is that those that declare war most of the time are motivated by lust for money/power. Not by rage or a rush of blood, as a bar room brawl may. In modern america war is an easy way for the powerful with connections to make money at the expense of the tax payer and the common man.

The right wingers, which sometimes include some that consider themselves progressive, take my stance towards Palestine as being Muslim apologist which is far from the case. Back in the day the Palestinian authority was gravitating more towards socialism than islamic fundamentalist. Admittedly though, now that the Palestinians have increasingly abandoned secular reason for islamic fundamentalist madness, i find it hard to sympathise with them, but i still do when i look at the situation within its historical context.

  270. I think its normal for humans to have a somewhat low attention span, particularly when it comes to certain tasks. Our ancestors didnt have to read through wades of text books at a college, sometimes for subjects they werent really interesting in. Neither did they have monotonous desk jobs, but went out to hunt or cultivate as a matter of survival. Ethics aside, hunting is not boring in the way farming is, but if its down to survival your going to do either of them. I'll take boring over going cold and hungry but it can be tricky to remain focused when having to do a menial but necessary tasks, or when breaking down walls of academically dry walls of text. Worst case scenario for me is you fall into reading without absorbing information mode, and then you have to backpedal a bit. Good rest is key, but i used to suffer from insomnia as a teenager, even from an early age like 14. As a result i'd wake up feeling bad, but by 9am i felt ok and i generally focused well in the mornings. Then in the afternoon i just would feel really tired and would sometimes struggle to focus in lessons. By 5pm i'd have like a second wind for a couple of hours but feel tired by 8pm yet it tended to be tired without being able to get to sleep which was not pleasant.

This is what happened, as i saw an enlarged image of this. It's not really a big deal though it does show that Trump it does echo the widely held belief that Trump cares more for his eldest daughter than he does for his wife.

  307. Roger Sullivan I'm of the left but most these modern based problems come down to class not race. Racism still exists in places though, but poor white people share similar problems. Were our current society to improve the lot of the working class you would find a lot of the problems faced by poor people of all backgrounds will start to dissipate. Crime is higher in blacks not for any racial reason but because they got stuck in poor urban areas, at the time of full employment things were getting better but neo liberal economics brought things backwards. White people who lived in similar locales end up being in a similar predicatment. Calling out people for using bad jargon isnt go to fix our problems but giving people work and housing will. Real Socialism of the old left has a lot to admire over this new left direction of a bourgeois that just wants to feel contented at its own success without feeling guilty that they are part of the problem.

Yeah there was a racist/nationalist type they call them 'littlle englanders' in the ranks of brexit supporters but for the most part it was centre right types wanting to gain full sovereignty alongside people of the left, like me who realised that the influx of polish and portuguese and other eu workers ruined the lives of many working class. I for one supported the EU, but once i saw its effect, the creation of the zero hour contract and people who left the benefit system to join the work system, and end up homeless for it, i lost faith and decided to vote brexit to teach them a lesson.

  320. My understanding is that young Cenk (around 1991) raised doubts over the Armenian Genocide but he has since not addressed it. HIs allowing Kyle Kulinski and Ana Kasparian to quite openly raise the issue and not get pissed about it seems to imply to me that he has changed his views but it places Cenk in a difficult position. Turks are super nationalist, if Cenk were to say 'The Armenian Genocide did happen and the Turkish govermnent should admit it' it would hurt his family in Turkey. They would become targets of abuse/harassment, perhaps even violence, i.e. brick through their window etc. Thus he is evasive on the matter and from that angle i can kind of understand it.

  327. +Shadowtechnik But were you being spanked fairly or unfairly? For example, did you get spanked if you kicked a cat or beat up another kid to take his lunch money? If so, then good. If you got spanked because your parents feel you looked at them funny, or because you got bad grades or didnt put your tie on properly, thenen yeah i'm inclined to agree with you that it was pretty messed up. In fact, i would call that abuse.
    1
  328. TheRedRaccoonDog Kid shouldnt be an asshole then. If i had kids i wouldnt spank them, unless i found out they were beating up other kids. Even then i would try talk them out of it first, but if that fails it's time to feel some harsh justice. I was never spanked as a kid by the way, but i wasn't a bully so i didn't need it.
    1
  329. TheRedRaccoonDog No it's not. They will realise that if they inflict pain on other kids, they themselves will feel pain. If they are nice to other kids they themselves will be treated nicely, they will be honoured, patted on the back. Gifts even. Thus they will learn that being good is rewarding and being bad is the opposite of rewarding.
    1
  330. TheRedRaccoonDog Might makes right is terrible if it is inflicted unfairly. But to punish bullies its fine in my books, but corporal punishment alone would probably make things worse if theres no opportunity to open a dialogue and appeal to reason, or present alternatives such as showing them why being honourable and kind is a better and more rewarding path. Personally, if i had my way, parents who beat their kids for getting bad grades, or not having proper table manners, or looking at them in a disagreeable way etc should also get beaten as they themselves are being bullies and it will ruin their kids childhood.
    1
  331. TheRedRaccoonDog Hence opening a dialogue and appealing to logic and reason should always be the first option. But that alone doesn't always work. And if the bully, (and lets say it was my own son) was still beating up and tormenting other kids, then i'd feel pretty bad about that.

Whats he gonna do, sue us? Is what the editor thought. Yet the whole world, from the David Pakman show to the BBC took it as gospel, very little if any doubt on the story was expressed. Unless the source evidence is solid one shouldnt give any heed to future stories like that. That particular story on the other hand said the source was 'a source in China' and that was it.

This is what your conservative catholic values get you, Phillipinos, either you wisen up, or you will always be a nation of two people. One half is desperate, the other half manages to hold it's head above water and looks nervously below, chanting meaningless prayers that they don't end up like that.

  362. whyamimrpink78 living comfortably doesnt necessarily equate to that, it's basic comforts, a standard higher than austerity living. It means you can pay your rent and bills, transport cost (you may not even have a car), and have a bit left over to save for a rainy day. And don't have to go cold with wearing a big coat indoors in the winter.  At present, minimum wage can be so low that they can barely pay living costs and there is hardly anything left over. If they need to replace something like a pair of shoes or new clothes it basically eats up what little surplus they have thus they have to live a life of austerity, unless they work over 40 hours. Say, 60 hours. Not because they want to but because they have to.
    1
  363. whyamimrpink78 It's not rocket science. Let's keep standards low. Water bills, electric. Rent. Transport costs. As we are keeping standards low in order to be more business friendly, let's say a one bedroom flat/apartment for one person. And paying two bus trips a day for a 5 day 40 hour week. If someone cannot pay those overheads on a minimum wage, its too low. Now i'm going to up the stakes. I think they should also have enough to pay for internet, which has become a basic need, more important than a television or telephone. It can in fact, replicate those things. And to go even futher. After paying for all that, they should have a little bit left over that they can either use for leisure or to save for a rainy day in case their shoes or clothes wear out, or they have to go to the dentist, or an eye test. I dont think I am being unreasonable, when i say that this does not amount to much. Any less than that, it's pretty poor for a developed country.

It's all part of the program. But as long as they maintain their terrible, often sharia inspired human rights records they will merely be pariahs in the eyes of the world. Even their fellow muslims from poorer countries will feel disdain due to their abuse of migrant workers and indifference to the poverty of their muslim 'brothers' abroad.

They are known to malhandle drunks and drinkers out of the area or stop non muslims from loitering in the area. It is illegal as under the law they have a right to walk those streets. Also my understanding is that Bradford has more muslims than Birmingham. Many of whom are Pakistanis or Bangladeshis. And many of whom are third generation by now, the first generation having come to UK during the end of the british colonial period. Way before any modern post 9/11 issues with islam.

  389. Egyptians generally portrayed themselves as having a copper coloured complexion. They portrayed kushites as black and middle easterners and northern men (which probably included people like minoans or sea people) as white. Thats not to say the kushites were black as the colour black, or that middle easterners/east med people were white as snow. It is stylistic. But probably reflects that those people were darker or fairer than what they were.
    1
  390. Has anyone ever seen the pictures the ancient egyptians made? They clearly have an orangey brown complexion. Again, there may be a stylistic element in this connected to the paints they used, but it does imply they at least were not like fair skinned northern europeans and probably darker complexioned that wheat-like tone of south europeans.

  395. It's not taking anyones rights Rand Paul. Let's take higher taxes for rich people. If you don't want to pay the taxes don't do the job, stay in bed or go bird watching or choose a less paid profession that has lower to zero taxes. Authoritarian socialism may force you to do something so the government reaps the benefit (ie a cuban doctor) but here, and under Bernies plans, no-one is forcing anyone to do anything.

  396. whyamimrpink78 The thing is most would choose to still work because if they stay in bed and get paid by the government they will get a pittance. They wont even be able to afford a public bus. Whilst if they work they can go out for beers in the weekend, and afford to eat better. tastier food - eat out even. If they are skilled they can still afford a better home, or own their own home, or a car etc. Go on holidays abroad, better clothes etc.Just like how it is now.  The lazy bones would get a bare minimum but they wouldnt be left to starve or go without a roof over their head. Also, i would consider a welfare for work, in exchange for welfare they have to work 24 hours a week. Again, this is not authoritarian as they can refuse it, but it would make them a tramp. Yet they would still be free. And it would help their resume/references.
    1
  397. whyamimrpink78 Not if doing less work/aka no work earns them 20 dollars a week and a proper job earns them at least 200 dollars a week. Most people dont want to sit there doing jack shit all day, staring at the sky when they could be having a better life. Though in some cases it could be a passing phase.

Swaziland embarasses itself and it's people with such a law. A sexy woman should be able to walk through a crowd of men in total safety. As a man i would just give her a wink perhaps or a wolf whistle but wouldnt touch her. For i am civilised. Swaziland would do well to set up sting operations to get these brutish men rather than pass such stupid laws.

Through propaganda drilled to them from birth, they think famine and hunger is at a global scale and they think that they are coping with it relatively well. They are told that conditions may be tough but they are still better off than most countries. And they are also told it's all americas fault and that the NK government is doing everything possible to help the people. And they nearly all believe it.

Does no-one remember fake progressives (neo-liberals, no doubt) using woke arguments to try and put down Bernie Sanders suggesting something along the lines of him being just another old white man in politics, it's time to move on from that etc. Well, Bernie would do more for the disenfranchised and under-privileged than what any of those fake progressives ever would. So Rogan has something of a point, though he is over-blowing it way too much. i.e. not being allowed out doors? That's the green stuff talking Joe!

  446. I'm a progressive and if i lived in america i would buy a gun. The failed neo liberalism of the 80's that has led to the globalised corporatism of today has created too many desperate people. Too many hateful people. Too many crazy people. Though it may not help if they get the drop on you, it is best to be prepared. And to be on guard.

As for video games... i guess some could be harmful to such minds. Just as a violent film or story of fiction could be. But on the whole video games can be a wonderful thing, just as a film or good book can.

  459. Ok fair enough. I just want to make clear i don't have anything against Greece either. I know a lot more about ancient and medieval greek history than the average guy on the street. As far as having read Ana Comnena's Alexiad. And it's an awesome history, tarnished by what you say and western betrayal going even further before that. Nonetheless, my first comment 'Greece is in the shit' partly done as a pun, sadly remains accurate. Personally i think they should have defaulted.

  462. A nasty non lethal crowd control device they have recently done is a skunk liquid that reeks like sewage and has a pervasive smell that lasts for weeks. The problem is not so much that the israelis have developed such a thing, but the way they so liberally use it. Spraying housing blocks and peoples homes, even when they have children in them. It's a 'oh it's non lethal, have it 'hoss, knock yourself out' mentality without thinking of the human aggravation and consequence.

  469. The old system was struggling. Part of the global aftershock of the oil crisis. And some unions welded an inproportional amount of power over the country. It led to the unions losing the support of the masses/majority. Thatcher took advantage of this and the victory in the falklands to push through the neo-liberal reforms. For short term gains Britain now finds itself in the mire for it. The tragedy is we could have moved toward a scandinavian model instead in the 80's but its too late now.

  486. North Korea preaches Juche/Self Reliance but it's been subject to famines shortages and perpetual hunger since the 90's. If their government had any sense they would embark on a one child policy to counter the shortages problem but they don't think logically. They want as large a population as possible, despite the hardships that comes with it. And the reason they want a large population is the have more would be soldiers. Masses to be thrown at the enemy in the event of a war.

More likely his aspergers syndrome set upon the backdrop of a success culture that he knew he could never achieve, despite his mothers high hopes.

  499. It's because it's pointless. He's doing it out of spite and i hope his organisation fires him for the bad publicity. I actually support the development of a fledgling horse meat industry for Roswell. It's a small town that has been poor ever since mining stopped, struggling to get by selling UFO related trinkets to tourists. Horse meat can be a healthier alternative to other meats its an area open to intelligent debate. But this heartless asshole just gives those in favour of it a bad name.

  500. WTF? What is with the idiocy of some people? As if that's going to help? I mean, a horse slaughter house to produce horse meat, i dont actually oppose that. But present the case in a decent manner! He's hurting his own cause the jackass!

Whilst privatisation brought in short term gains, & needed investments it lead to a system that then was only registering growth that was largely based on bank credit. Hasnt worked so well last 5 years has it? Britain still feels the after-effects. You see the young terminal unemployed underclass thats emerged? Their grandparents were the miners, the ship builders, the factory workers. But their future was forfeit so globalists could off-shore jobs.

Though out of necessity for supplies they have dealed in drugs too in the past it has always been to a much lesser extent than the organised crime who they often openly battle. As well as battling the government. A reason they don't need to trade in drugs so much now is that they have new benefactors in latin america.

It's a democracy after all and people are now realising its not really working out, due to perpetual shortages of some important basic goods. Let the people vote and learn from mistakes. Thats why the last election has shifted so much, from a comfortable lead to a really narrow victory. Unless things improve dramatically this will be the last term in office for Chavez's faction and experiment.

  516.  @luchi.el.zorrito  These are the same so called 'progressives' that then promote such terms in the corporate world so they can blow their own trumpets and seem more progressive while at the same time making work conditions worse and contributing to the growing gap between rich and poor. Woketivists are not true leftists nor true progressives because if they were they would be more interested in raising baseline standards for all people across the board rather than try improve the standing of corporations and the elites by making them seem more inclusive. All this nonsense came about when occupy wall street (which was a legit left wing movement) ended and it rattled the capitalist elites a bit so they decided to co-opt certain left wing talking points to seem more progressive and disarm the left while in reality being as capitalist and greedy as ever. Perhaps even more so. These woketivists may have come from the left originally, but they turned into something else. Stooges for the rich and powerful, it doesn't mean all their talking points are wrong. But they don't really care about working class people anymore. They care more about getting nice jobs and sponsorships from the elites.

  525. Lets be fair here, the 'corrupt the world' comment is going too far, it's not the fault of jewish people that a large portion of the world decided to take on forms of their abrahamic religion, such as christianity and islam wielding them for the sake of reaction rather than progress. The ancient jews were doing ok until the romans turfed them out their home. I still think jewish people should have made a new homeland in europe and america after ww2 though. Not in the levant.

Most Britains arent racist right wing bigots but are concerned about EEC people coming in unrestricted which is what the EU would like & has largely achieved, & puts a massive strain on limited housing, limited unskilled jobs & social services pushed past the limit, in what is already an overpopulated country that lacks the infrastructure & resources. This can be mistaken for racism which is often the knee jerk reaction of the liberal left wing. I myself consider myself somewhat left wing btw.

That is the point when intervention should begin. Unless they are fundamentalist fanatics who don't care for mortal life and insist on fighting until every last man is dead.

  540. A significant portion of these fundamentalists that stress such arguments would likely be murders, thieves, rapists and pedophiles if they didn't fear god. Those that stress it likely do because they are aware of their 'inner demons' and think everyone is like that. Their faith may help keep such folk in check but most people are not so messed up, we don't get such horrible inclinations. They are unnatural and hint towards broken minds.

  541. Thats right! It's of the NC faction. Since Planetside 2 came out this avatar gets a lot more recognition (good and bad!) but i've actually been using it on YT since 2006. Great games.

  542. There is no real need for this experiment other than satisfy a quirky sense of curiousity. It's not worth it. I have forseen the heavens prophecy. The neanderthal dude will grow up to think, omg i'm a freak. Will be upset, will kill someone and will then jump into incoming traffic on the motorway. So let's not go there.

  543. Those gang rapist brutes are just asking for it. 1) Castration and life imprisonment (castration will help protect inmates from rape). Or option 2) Excecution (quickly, without pain, and then harvest their organs to give to people in need). They are the logical choices. As with the first option they are neutralised and made less dangerous. And with the second by taking a corrupted life you have the potential to save a life.

  544. The w in Norwich is silent so it's pronounced Nor-ich. Just one of those UK things I guess. Like locations ending in -shire. It's not like the shire from Tolkien. But pronounced 'Sheer'. I didn't make the rules :)

  545. They probably just thought it was a rigorous outdoor camp to toughen up their son, its not actually meant to be a gay conversion camp but obviously the guy who runs it hates gays and will treat gay people there with the lowest contempt.

  546. Call me a nasty cynic, but they probably sold the lion (for some dour 'medicine' related purpose) and Chinese peasants (who for the last few millennia have lived out in the sticks) who have gone to the zoo for the first time are too simple to tell the difference. Yeah I know, I kind of suck for thinking such a thing. But stranger things happen.

  547. She does deserve more jail and he deserves a higher compensation than 90,000 dollars. However it is important to take into account that she did come forward and confess to what she did. And if we lay down a really harsh penalty to people who do come forward and do that, then no-one else who has done such a thing will ever come forward.

  548. Not quite as much of the coal formed long before humans were even around. And these 'imaginary' generations, are only as imaginary as the day of tomorrow is .They are coming. As surely as day follows night. That said, we do have to use the best resources available, anything less simplay wont cut it. But some concern for the future generations is not a bad thing.

  549. Yeah we all hate sharia law. Law and religion is not the same as people though you dimwit

  550. David, its not so much because of europe that Britain is no longer a big polluter but because of the collapse of the heavy industry sector due to the neo-lib globalists forseeing it would be cheaper to do much of it abroad.

  551. I agree with you. But the fear some politicians hold is that under a theocratic government (albeit one that gives many concessions) there may come a time that extremists take over and threaten global stability because they are unafraid of the consequences - due to their faith. Iran however remains a rational power. With rational demands and rational governance. Hostility and beligerance will likely just make things worse and empower their fundamentalists.
