And by the way: do you know how many US soldiers are based OUTSIDE the USA?

Let make things clear here : I am absolutely not condoning these despictable acts ( rape, violence, etc). What I am saying is , we should hold OUR leaders into accountability. Myself, before these "refugees" things, I had no idea of the mess OUR leaders were creating in these countries. One...

"scarcity mentality"????? I hope to continue pushing this subject another day. Great P&R posters here : all open; honest and tell it like it is.

Last time I visited the US, I spent some time finding out about the history of the Catholic Churches in the US. Historically, the Catholic Church is the institution - not the US government - that provided an efficient "welfare system" to the Irish ( free schooling, apprenticenship for masses of...

Make money $$$$$ and blondie1, blondie2 and blondie100s will all show up out of nowhere. So cheer up and soldier on!

One other issue then is how people feel about the idea of "levelling the playing field". And another might be where is the "general interest" for the person? I explain. In the case of the school, the new teacher saw the general interest as raising the "bottom" of the school: less pupils...

Sorry Scataphagos, I don't want to have a go at you. Here is another question: * Knowing that corner shops benefit most of your unfair welfare system: do you hate these? if not why? Thank you very much for your very valuable opinion.

Ha!!!! Now there might be one aspect : self-interest!!!!!!! Could racism be more a balance between FEAR and self-interests.

Scataphagos, Your story reminds me of this high school situation. They used to fire the worst student of each class. One new teacher took on himself to offer FREE extra tuition to the most struggling students. Everybody basically got angry: * the parents who were paying extra tuition for...

YO!!! You added some comments there after I posted. * Who in the USA benefits the most from American welfare system?

Scataphagos, you are pointing out an interesting angle: the theme of "life not being fair to me and others". But it seems that you are more antipathic toward socio-economic groups. * Do you know of other set of people who are "professional complainers" ? * Do you hate all the people who...

a paper for school? Not at all. Racism is effectively a very difficult subject. And there are really few people who are open enough to really look into it, and most importantly talk openly about it. The P&R posters are really great: very honest, open and just tell it as it is. I am done with...

oldnemesis: Do you know the US and other Western countries have been bombing Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Mali, etc? What should these people do when they are bombed? and pûsh your arguments, as we are here to learn about different viewpoints.

Let's push the first input. Thank you for it because there are really a lot of interesting aspects. I assume your context is you are in the US, right? so you are talking about SOME Americans. The context might be more rural america, than say a megapole like New-York. According to your input...

Bonecrusher... I would not mind having your point of view: In you context, country and socio-economic situation: "Now how was it created? how was/is it maintained? who benefits? are aspects I'd be happy to find out." Thank you for your input

Well that's the beauty of trading: it does not lie, you can't bullshit. Why not make an exhaustive list of all the mistakes you've made today? Have you made any of these mistakes in the past? If so, why were these mistakes not fully sorted, as you are repeating these? Have you...

I have a BIG problem: I travelled too much in too many countries and continents, and mosly by not living like a tourist, but locals ( from various socio-economic groups). So my views are extremely tinted by my ways of travelling. So let me start: racism is "created". Now how was it...

Yulp!!! "the U.S. military budget is nine times Russia’s — in fact, it’s bigger than Russia’s entire budget, meaning that Russia literally couldn’t come near matching U.S. military spending if it tried. The U.S. spends more than the next seven nations put together, in fac" I had no idea the...

Must be a unique experience to follow these elections on the ground.

You should be thanking western countries for taking in the "refugees" you create, instead of sending them straight to the creator - aka the USA.
