ThePest179

Look at how Obama won the presidency despite the fact that he flat out lied about what he voted for and against before the campaign, and everyone who did even basic research knew he would try and ruin the country.

Try to ruin the country? Lied about what he voted for? I need evidence, proof! Oh, and you're politicizing the topic again!

They can be voted out of power the next round of elections occurs.

LOOK AT THAILAND. That is an example of failure of citizen responsibility. If this occurs in the USA, it's anarchy.

If it occurs in the US. Hopefully it won't.

1. Your problem, not mine.

2. Look for the only one working for FEMA in California. (she's the only one last she checked)

3. You're the only one continuing that topic.

First, I can't verify this person is real without a search engine.

Second, does she still work at FEMA? Do they keep track of employees that are/have been working there? If so, could you give me a list they keep/ point me where I could fid it?

Third, maybe so, but why did you decide to comment on it when I said not to? If you explain yourself, I'll stop talking about it/happily go to the Iraq War thread to talk about it.

The seriously corrupted won't give up without being killed, but they can usually be removed without bloodshed if there is the threat of a significant amount of violence to ensure their removal. I personally see no way to succeed in this country short of killing some of them.

What is your fixation on killing these people? They are elected officials in a free country! They can be voted out of power the next round of elections occurs.

State, California. City/county I don't remember/I don't know.

 

How about you do some of the work yourself, you go and find how to verify, or quit calling me a liar.

 

It was on topic for my reply; you're the one keeping it going.

First, I don't have a reliable website or search engine to find people, hence why I asked you for one.

Second, there could be thousands of other people with the name "Katrina Christian", in California. How do I find the right one?

Third, you were not on topic AT ALL in regards to what was said about Iraq, because I specifically said it was not to be argued at all(but if you insist on it, you can take your statements on Iraq to the Iraq War thread, where it would have some relevance).

Who said bloody was required?

First, you're moving the goalposts.

Second, this is what you said on violent revolutions:

I'm actually hoping it will come to that*, since I have plenty of history to back me up on my reasons... The corrupted will never give up unless they are killed, and they will never be killed in anything short of a full scale civil war.

*"That" being a civil war.

Sorry for writing this here, but when I hear and read what's going on in USA lately, I'm kind of happy I pulled Ross out, to Europe (which is a bit more normal, at least for now) ;p

 

*cough*Ukraine*cough*

You feel better with your brillaint remark?

 

Oh, and practically, Ukraine is not exactly Europe... unfortunately or fortunately has little to do with European way of life. Even before the Russia took away a part of it.

Was just a joke, didn't mean any offense, even if I came across as a smartass.

For example, what if I told you that I know a guy in the CIA who told me that they fabricated the idea that Iraq had WMD before the 2003 invasion, or were really telling the truth and Saddam moved them all to Syria*? How would you know?

I know people in the CIA... And the non-intrusive parts of the NSA... That's how I'd know. (BTW, there were, and still are WMDs in Iraq; they're just buried in the deserts)

 

As for the name of my cousin, for your attempts at verification... Katrina Christian.

Katrina Christian of what state/city/county? And if you may provide me with a website where I can find such a person?

Oh and you AGAIN decided to argue a point I said was not supposed to be argued! What's your problem?! I specifically said that I was only using the Iraq example ONLY as an example, not as a platform to start another argument!

To be fair, culture can be an influence and sometimes a motivating factor. But then, remember that there are some people who play politics with cunning.

 

For culture:

1) Philippines: Highly Catholic-oriented due to colonial history, but politics are usually tied with popularity. See Joseph Estrada. Even so, knowing that the country is still far from First World, the awareness of "Pork Barrel" led to protests which led to a court ruling against it. Culturally, they know what are the moral codes, but ironically they make the wrong political decisions thanks to lack of education and the herd psychology.

 

2) Hong Kong: Highly "democratic & independent" due to the 1996 Independence from UK, and whenever there's some scandal/corruption case exposed, people can organize protests. (I don't like the way they work however. It's friggin' messy and pushy.) You can say that the Hong Kong democratic culture is... take it to the streets, carry your megaphones, banners, and crates of eggs.

 

Non-culture:

1) Canada: Independence stems from politics and aboriginal rebellions. My viewpoint is that the Canadian Independence is more of a very big economic decision. Eventual peaceful resolution? Perhaps... but culturally... not so much as a participating role.

 

2) USSR/Russia: Again, out of economic concerns. Gorbachev first pushed for reforms & liberalization from within the communist government. However, the eventual political influence (plus riots) led to the independence of many states. After the 1991 coup, the CSPU had little influence over the power structures and Gorbachev ordered a dissolution. So, those "50 years" weren't very peaceful.

Well, the USSR didn't end from a bloody revolution/civil war, so that's peaceful enough. Also thank you for proving me correct again.

I'm sorry you don't believe that I know people, and trust them. That is 99% of my 'behind the scenes' information, just like anyone else. (including all reporters)

I can't verify that these people are real, that's why I can't trust you when you say "I know a person in X". Only verifiable proof can be used in an argument.

For example, what if I told you that I know a guy in the CIA who told me that they fabricated the idea that Iraq had WMD before the 2003 invasion, or were really telling the truth and Saddam moved them all to Syria*? How would you know?

*This is just for use as an example. I'm not trying to state my opinion on weather or not Iraq had WMD/moved them somewhere else.

I have not seen any proof from you... Merely conjecture with no support.

Repeat:

East India. In INDIA. Eventually resolved by Gandhi, do we remember him for violence?

Hudson's Bay - In CANADA. Eventually resolved peacefully via economic and legal challenges, and eventually Canadian Independence.

Until now, there's no other solution to greed and prejudice but civics, arts, and academic education. Peaceful and long-term solutions are the mark of a modern, mature, and civilized society.

I bet the people of the Soviet Union thought "we'd better overthrow the party", and they did. Peacefully. It took them about 50 years , but they did it.

All of them.

What's the most rage inducing game you've ever played?

Sorry for writing this here, but when I hear and read what's going on in USA lately, I'm kind of happy I pulled Ross out, to Europe (which is a bit more normal, at least for now) ;p

*cough*Ukraine*cough*

7/10 Long, boring, and no speaking.

Something NSFW.

What was the scariest game you ever played?

This is undisputed? A consensus among medical personnel?

http://www.cdc.gov/VACCINES/VPD-VAC/measles/default.htm

 

Go through and find it for yourself. Only 90% get an immunity from first round, and "most" of the rest get it from second round... (my cousin works for FEMA, and said that the stats they got from CDC and WHO for the immunity failure rate was 1 in 200)

I will not trust you anymore if you "claim" to have a "friend" in a high area of work, or just anywhere in general to back up your arguments, because they are unverifiable sources that I cannot (and the rest of us cannot) see or hear. You can only trust what someone said so far. So even if you DO know such a person, I can't verify it. Alright?

By the way, where did it say "only 90% of people are immunized from measles if they get the vaccine"? Could you point it out please?

No.

 

Main reasons:

 

1. I don't have their contact info anymore.

2. They died.

3. They left the country permanently, and want nothing to do with it anymore.

4. They stopped frequenting the sites I met them on because of people like you.

5. You need to learn to research things in-depth yourself, that way you can start making informed decisions instead of wild assumptions. It will help with any post-highschool composition classes, since it uses the same type of researching skills.

I cannot stand it anymore, how am I supposed to trust your word that these people are real? If you cant give me data information, with citations, from a literary or online source, then you have no basis for your argument. Actually, what are we arguing about again? The difference between the US and Canada? Or if the present corruption problems we're facing can be solved peacefully? Because if it's the latter, I've proved that point so many times I'm getting sick of repeating myself.

No. All the fun goes away then.

How long would you take to beat a game that's incredibly hard, without breaks or rage quits?

Transistor

No it doesn't. 5 out of 1000 don't get ANYTHING from the vaccine.

This is undisputed? A consensus among medical personnel? Even if it was 5/1000, those are still great, as it means vaccines are a huge success.

I said research, not a short paragraph defining the word "culture".

Okay then. Get me some of YOUR sources.

Getting the vaccine doesn't mean that you're immune.

Which was never stated to begin with. getting the vaccine means your immune system can easily fend off the virus.

Do a little research yourself then... See what the differences are between cultures, and decide for yourself AFTER you do some research.

You have not given any evidence to your claims. Unsurprising.

Canadian culture is a term that embodies the artistic, culinary, literary, humour, musical, political and social elements that are representative of Canada and Canadians. Throughout Canada's history, its culture has been influenced by European culture and traditions, especially British and French, and by its own indigenous cultures. Over time, elements of the cultures of Canada's immigrant populations have become incorporated into mainstream Canadian culture. The population has also been influenced by American culture because of a shared language, proximity and migration between the two countries.

Canada is often characterised as being "very progressive, diverse, and multicultural". Canada's culture draws influences from its broad range of constituent nationalities, and policies that promote a just society are constitutionally protected. Canadian Government policies – such as publicly funded health care; higher and more progressive taxation; outlawing capital punishment; strong efforts to eliminate poverty; an emphasis on cultural diversity; strict gun control; and most recently, legalizing same-sex marriage – are social indicators of Canada's political and cultural values.

American culture includes both conservative and liberal elements, scientific and religious competitiveness, political structures, risk taking and free expression, materialist and moral elements. Despite certain consistent ideological principles (e.g. individualism, egalitarianism, and faith in freedom and democracy), American culture has a variety of expressions due to its geographical scale and demographic diversity. The flexibility of U.S. culture and its highly symbolic nature lead some researchers to categorize American culture as a mythic identity; others see it as American exceptionalism .

It also includes elements that evolved from Indigenous Americans, and other ethnic cultures—most prominently the culture of African Americans, cultures from Latin America, and Asian American cultures. Many American cultural elements, especially from popular culture, have spread across the globe through modern mass media.

What is the difference here? the large diversity of the United States? If that's the reason, why didn't it collapse sooner?
