I find it strange that you American patriots are so proud of your snipers who kill from a distance while not living any credit to the French who really do get in close.

They have so far killed one man out of all those that have been kidnapped & we really don’t know that happened. That is a very good record for not killing & doesn’t justify you calling them murderers does it? Whatever else they may be they did try to avoid killing, though may well change now.

Are we to take it that as an act of kindness & generosity you want to make a blood donation to these pirates, perhaps in an effort to compensate for the over reaction of the US?

The answer depends on a number of things, like where is the wife, is the date worth it, relative to the wife finding out?
Sorry, but let’s be honest,” promiscuity” (seed spreading) is hard wired into the male. Besides, fun’s fun.

“No! What is want is the primacy of the US Dollar. Or, the Dollar. It is what we need in bonuses to ensure that the US remains in power. We do not need or want a buffer currency, as no one will benefit from this aside from maybe Aruba. What we need are bigger bonuses and better private jets.”
Your sarcasm is duly noted, but to be sure no one gets the wrong idea, what we no longer need is the currency of any single country holding so much power. If the US was a company it would be a bankrupt company & I for one would not be too keen to be holding stock in such a company. So the CEO (Obama) says all is going to be well again in time. No way would I believe this from any CEO of a failed company so why does any one expect any one else to believe Obama? The US lost it & unbalanced all the other economies around the world simply because they had put too much faith in the USD. No, this is not the time to sell up & dump the USD, the value’s too low & too much would be lost. But when it does become worth selling then I would want out so as to never again be at risk of US government laxity.
By the way, what is wrong with Aruba getting a bite of the cherry? Don’t be so mean.

““There has been for decades talk about creating an international reserve currency and it has never really progressed,” said Michael Pettis, a finance professor at Peking University’s Guanghua School of Management. Managing such a currency would require balancing the contradictory needs of countries with high and low growth or with trade surpluses or deficits, Pettis said. He said the 16 European nations that use the euro have faced “huge difficulties” in managing monetary policy even though their economies are similar.”
This man is being deliberately obtuse. A world reserve currency is not the same as a single world currency. What is wanted is a buffer currency with an exchange rate based on global trade very much along the lines of the old gold standard. I can well understand the US not wanting such an intrusion into their financial hegemony. The Europeans probably think the Euro is the currency in waiting that could take over if the Dollar ever did its favoured position & the British are so childishly obsessed with the Pound that their faith in it is almost religious & just as irrational.
Granted having said all that I have to add that anything that China may want I don’t want, even it sounds good, the very fact that China wants something is grounds to say no.

Whatever the religion the extremists more or less amount to the same thing, damaged people & damaged people see the world through a damaged mind, we should pity them or shoot them, putting them out of our misery.

I can’t see any victinhood in anything Japan has had to say, maybe you are seeing your prejudices rather than reality. After all the US are going to be just as happy to shoot that rocket down because it has the potential of (just) reaching the US. Are they (in you opinion) in victim mode too?

Well let’s now wait and see if China really has joined the international community. Because if they don’t start demanding the return of these women it is because they still hand in glove with North Korea.
Think about what was reported, “both Korean-American women”, so from the Korean side of the river these guards had no way of knowing that two women were not Chinese or any other Asian. China in particular needs to think about this & maybe become a little more supportive of the Japanese abduction issue.

After all the years that this fighting has been going on Sri Lanka is close to ending it, & though the end may suit anyone it is an end, & what do the idiot EU want? A period in which the Tigers can escape & regroup & restart this all over again
“They are holding their own people hostage, the international community should recognize this,” he said. Now doesn’t this remind anyone of somewhere else? Though in this case the Sri Lankans are not Jewish so no one is going to write too much about it.

The British have a serious problem with drink, they simply can’t handle it, there is no moderation in the way that they drink & when drunk they become violent. Other nationalities get sad & maudlin or start singing, some just love everyone, but not the British, they just get nasty & fight, even the girls.

I agree with you almost 100%, making money for the children I can accept, but that is all I can accept. The rest of your post I back you on.
Not very long ago this woman was detested by most of the UK (& Indian) population, now because she is dying she has been “transformed”. Sorry just I don’t buy into this paranoid or superstitious rubbish that is wrong to speak ill of the (nearly) dead. Death ends a person’s life, it doesn’t change it.

I am British (sort of) & I have never blamed America or Europe for the stupidity that is Britain today. I do however have no choice but to hold the government responsible for a great deal of what is happening. The current government have created laws that can have a person sent to prison for stating the obvious, if the obvious just happens to involve the word “Muslin”. Immigration is killing the country but is defended by that same government. Benefits were originally designed to help people through difficult times in their lives, they were never meant to be life style choices. Nor were they meant to be so large & so easy to get & keep getting. “If you give a person a crutch the will limp” was that Bertolt Brecht? Who ever, it’s true of the British under class. There is every good reason to blame the British government.

Geert Wilders was near enough unknown in the UK until this week & his film was wholly unknown. Now the entire country, & the rest of Europe, know about the man & his film. The British government have done an excellent job of promoting this film while at the same time making themselves look like utter cowards.
I have not seen the film & don’t feel there is any need for me to see it, to most English people the concept alone is enough, some will agree, some will not, but that is not the point. Love him, hate him or know & care nothing about him, Wilders should not have been refused entry to the UK.
Britain has become something of a black comedy over the last 8 to 10 years, the Muslin community have been given more & more freedoms that are denied to the general population. A British Christian today can lose their job for displaying their religion (cross) while at the same time legal battles are fought & won to allow Muslims to dress as Muslims even in the most inappropriate of settings.
I suspect that there is an element of racism within all of us, but a sense of society & civilisation will control that, at least up until the point that we are treated unfairly for no other reason than our race. What happens when that “unfairness” is levelled at the indigenous population should be obvious. The extreme right in Britain gains support not from its reasoned arguments (it has none) but from the utter stupidity of a socialist government that creates laws to protect everyone except the indigenous population.
Geert Wilders being refused entry into the country is only one of many such acts of stupidity enacted by the current government. The 5th column is not only known but given financial support while any voice raised against the growing influence of Islam in the country is crushed, sometimes by a prison sentence.
Am I being racist? No, but when I see Frankenstein’s monster being created I can see a monster. A conflict is being created & maybe it is already too late to avoid it.

"Of course we acknowledge that right,[Freedom of speech] but we do not agree with the way it is being exercised in this case."
Then they are hypocrites & liars that do not in fact have free speech.
