Communist is apparently cognate with hateful loser.

"Rich fucks", this poor excuse of human being has vocabulary of an aristocrat! What exactly did "rich fucks" do to him? Make money while he is tweeting hate speech? Pay taxes, so that he can get a health care and public schooling? Oh, those evil "rich fucks", how dare they?

This man gauges his own self-worth by his purse. As can be seen on his focus on, who buys what brand of clothing. He feels entitled to money of somebody else.

He is disgusting, not because he is not rich by his own standart, but because he has hatred for anybody, that might be better than him at his obssesion: Money.

Nothing unexpected. Outside London you can feel a silent but still palpable dislike towards muslims since ages almost everywhere in the UK. After the recent islamist terrorist attacks I'm not surprised if someone tried to retaliate. BTW this was a badly organized, amateurish attempt by some not very smart guy. We'll see if this will turn a tendency or just one of a few isolated cases.

Did islamist attacks ended up in just a few isolated incidents?



Who comes to the country with the sword will die by the sword, so was said in the Testament. It is just matter of time before London and Paris become like Lebanon - used to be 84% christian before muslims from all over migrated to it and started replacing natives.

Islam doesn't hate people, tho it has some violence i quran it doesn't hate people, it hates the infidels, the non-belivers.

In that case, the countries which are close to 100% Muslim would be extremely peaceful and calm. But that is not the case. Look at such countries - examples are Yemen, Sudan, Mauritania, Afghanistan.etc. Almost all of these countries are suffering from conflict and  anarchy. So here the hatred is affecting everyone, and not just the "infidels".

That is true, islamic countries are as matter of rule violent and dangerous, especially for women.

However, from the outsider perspective, it is easy to focus only the fact, that muslims tend to agressive against unbelievers the most, jihad being their rallying cry.

If you look at the map of terror below, it neatly outlines areas where Islam is confronted with other cultures.

You dont want go to a gun fight without a gun. And you dont want to be part of religous conflict with no God. Just a thought.

It is quite possible to remain as an atheist (I am one myself) and take part in the religious war. Look at China. They are officially atheist, and they have achieved something which none of the western nations have achieved so far. The Chinese have successfully integrated their Muslim population in to mainstream. No other Christian, Hindu or Buddhist nation has achieved what they have achieved.

All western nations are officially secular as are islamic states such as Turkey, Bryant  Wink I am not going into the fact, there are more evangelical christian Chinese than communist party members these days.

What you fail to realize is that Russia and China is integrating its "native" muslim population. Tatars and Chechens in Russia, Uyghurs in China. They are not immigrant brought be globalist loonies, they have roots in their countries and so dont treat them like conquerors.

Why dont Chinese and Russians import millions of foreign workers? Because they are not globalist. Their value system were shaped by their traditional faith, not by postmodernism.

Except for North Korea​, all the neighbors of Chinese are having one or the other conflicts with China. Tibet is washed off now, I don't think there will be anything against China once his Highness The dalai lama dies, because no one has seen panchen lama in decades. Chinese are the worst kind of people with respect to suppress other people.

There is no longer a Tibetan identity inside China. In some places, the Tibetan children are banned from speaking their languages, and are forbidden from practicing their native religions (Bon and Buddhism). Most of the monasteries are under the strict supervision of the army. And most worryingly, in the major cities of Tibet, the Han Chinese are rapidly becoming the ethnic majority.

I do see your point, but what would you advise?

It is basically Overton window, if Chinese stopped effectively colonizing areas inhabited by non-chinese natinals, then what would happen? Certainly not a peace. At best, various minorities backed by foreign powers would fight for more and more right with some of them demanding partition of the state.

We can see the same exact process in the west.

I dont condone chinese state, but is there an alternative, that wouldnt lead to rapture of the state and foreign intervention? I doubt it.

Hatred has taken over almost every where in the societies in recent time whether in the  family, Church, Musqe, office, play ground, school, among young and old people. All of this that happen in our societies made me wonder whether LOVE exist. This is because if you check the meaning of love you will agree with me that love doesn't exist anywhere.

You wont find love in a "family, Church, Musqe, office, play ground, school, among young and old people", UNLESS you first find it in your own heart. The same goes for peace or sense of justice.

So yes, there is a love as a sister to hatred. For those, who choose to have space for them in their hearts.

Opposite of hatred is not love - it is apathy and ignorance.

Probably people will have more friends, more relations between them and more knowledge...40 years ago we didn't have internet and everything was working good. Airplanes,companies,trading,post office,banks..all. Internet offers you everything just click away. Before if you need some info you needed to search books,go to library,ask somebody..people were more social..
This life is hard without internet. People in the world will not know each other, all information will not convey quickly. Thanks to this, people across the country can make friends and make friends. Introduce your country to friends in Europe.


Somebody, that you never met is not your "friend", "lover" or "partner". It is merely virtual persona behind another computer screen.

Friend is somebody, who helps you in the time of troubles, because of personal connection. Adult man should know that.

Apparently, humankind was around for 200 000 years before DARPA developed network in case of nuclear war. So, I dont think. that life with internet would be so hard. It was done before. By all of your ancestors.

When i seen this i was really hoping for a How To guide on how to not get stabbed.
Anyone have any pointers ?

My advice off hand would be don't turn your back on people.
For example keep an eye on the guy on the bus behind you.

Avoid crowded "downtown" areas where wacko's wander around glassy eyed from drugs.

Make eye contact with people to let them know you see them but don't stare too much  Cheesy

Be ready to kick the fucking shit out of some asshole !
You never know when you might have to knock out some fucking goof bitch.
Don't be low hanging fruit !

I had a guy many years ago come at me and i defused the situation.
I absorbed his confrontation and replied back with a calm and balanced response.
I gave the guy a smoke and he sat down and had a chat with me about things.
Had my reaction been aggressive i probably would have been stabbed.

Learn how to handle people pretty much.

This is actually great idea. Could you start a thread for it? OP is just another leftist loon pushing his personal agenda through click-bait title. But thread about self-defense would have a place here. We have members from all over the world and they could share they experience with street violence.

Yes, a fucking loon I am Smiley Loony for the truth; I'm sorry if that's inconvenient to your worldview.  Ańd you would be surprised how many people share my views, at least partially. There might be a whole platform or some shit based around it, I don't know. You would have to get off of Breitbart and the Daily Caller to hear them though.

You genuinely seem triggered. Is this a sensitive topic for you? Smiley I'm loving it like McDonalds. And yes, that self defense thread would be tits, you should start that for us. I will surely contribute Smiley

And Spoetniks contribution to the thread was the most genuine, and the most sane. I presented a talking point for the community to ponder on, y'all put yalls fingers in your ears and tried your best to derail this. I see I hit home, and that's what I like to see. And I also see the mature members of the community. I'm a running fucking joke most days, I'm a laughing type of dude, but I know comedy as deflection when I see it.

And I'm still getting paid for this shit.

I am not triggered, I couldnt care less about another "unique snowflake", who feels threatened by political opposition. Especially, in the United States, half a planet away from my household.

I responded to Spoetnik, who actually made a post worth a reading, about topic, that is important for a lot of folk around the world. Not you, snowflake. But a lot of people, who cant take security of their families for granted.

Beards isn't the basis of being a man. There are gays who have beards. And I don;t think that Putin is gay. Why would he be against gay if he is gay? Hahaha But yeah. There is nothing wrong with LGBTs. They are human beings and needs the equal amount of respect. let us not judge them. Instead lets help them be accepted in the community

The last sentence of your post makes no sense.

What even is "equal amount" of respect? You cannot make human beings respect somebody else "just because". Respect is something, that must be deserved.

LGBT is not homosexuality. LGBT is a political movement with agenda and sponsors. It should be treated as such, "everyone deserving respect" is merely facade for the gullible.

The Morality Crisis | Dennis Prager and Stefan Molyneux

What happens to morality with a decrease in religiosity and a rise in secularism? Dennis Prager joins Stefan Molyneux to discuss the recent Prager University video "If There Is No God, Murder Isn't Wrong," the moral values communicated through religion, the fall of free will in the face of secular determinism, the difference between charity and the forces retribution of wealth and the future of the western experiment.

These persons who were all finishes whatever degree in college and considered theirselves to be geniouses have always something to say about morality and about religion.  If it feels like it is wrong, due to our free will, then I think it is wrong.  That is the reason why persons have that conciousness a guilt feeling  something we called conscience.

Perhaps you meant "people", not "persons". The two in question can back their claims by numbers and when we talk about future of society - western society, hard cold numbers are more important than your personal feelings about people, who publish those numbers.

Africans outbreed people from any other continent, but are unable to compete economically.

Muslims outbreed seculars, yet will hate them for being rich even without knowing Allah.

In democratic societies, demography is the most important thing. Look at European regions such as Kosovo and Bosnia. These regions were historically Orthodox Christian homelands. Now they have become Muslim majority, through demographic Jihad. The natives tried to resist this change through warfare (Bosnian war of 1992-95, and Kosovan war of 1999), but the pro-Muslim NATO alliance defeated them militarily. Now the cancer is spreading to the neighboring regions. Macedonia is expected to become Muslim majority by 2030. After that it will be Montenegro.

Balkan is not really western and never was. Muslims were only able to gain upper hand in both Kosovo and Bosnia through military intervention of NATO, which wanted to weaken russian influence in the region regardless the long term consequences.

So, I am not all that concerned about people of Balkans, they were through worse and lived through it.

But for secular westerners, who dont know anything about religious wars? In 1970 there were about 5000 muslims in Sweden. Or 0.01 of population. Today there is 700 000. Swedes tell muslims, that they want to talk with them, but muslims want to talk about God and Swedes dont have any. Or French or Germans. Any of these people, who left their roots and are confronted now with inreasingly large cohorts of migrants, who see this as part of ongoing religious and cultural war.

You dont want go to a gun fight without a gun. And you dont want to be part of religous conflict with no God. Just a thought.

I think John C Wright is onto something here.

He mentions christianity again and again - as he should have, is it is instrumental in defining western values.

He uses Ayn Rand as an example. She was never a christian, she was part of jewish-secular intellectual elite in the West. As were her sworn enemies - founders of neo-marxism.

When person chooses to abandon culture, he eventually succumbs to his roots and become radicalist - for whatever secular ideology he took liking to.
155  Other / Politics & Society / Re: When will Religions die? on: June 22, 2017, 03:25:07 AM
Religion will die when parents stop imposing their religion on children. Now there are many young people who do not believe in all sorts of religions so I think it will be very soon.

You think, huh?

This may come as a shock to secular sensibilities. Religious fundamentalism is set to bury the ghost of secularism. Secular liberalism is collapsing under the weight of its own contradictions and the fundamentalists are about to take over the world. This is, says Eric Kaufmann, who teaches politics at University of London, not necessarily a bad thing. It may make us more secure, more grounded in our identities and communities, and much happier.

The main weapon in the fundamentalist armoury is demography. The world is going through an unparalleled shift from population growth to decline. The trend is led by Europe, where the numbers of people being born are hardly replacing those dying. India, South-east Asia and Latin America are also following the same path. Prosperity, urbanisation, birth control and female education have all contributed to the overall rate of decline in population.

The Mormons should have been a shrinking minority in Utah. But despite considerable non-Mormon immigration, they increased their share of the population from 60 per cent in 1920 to 75 per cent in 2000. The Quiverfull Protestants, who see children as a blessing, have formulated a "two hundred year plan" for demographic domination. And they are right on course.

Nevertheless, there is considerable food for thought here. The secular abuse of religion has reached the point of diminishing returns. The religious, refusing to be meek, are fighting back and will probably inherit the earth. Though not all of them would be fundamentalists. Despite certain demographic trends, they are unlikely to outnumber the moderates, except perhaps in Israel and the US. But Kaufmann is surely right to suggest that it's time we stopped fearing and demonising the puritans.

I believe this was from Shall the Religious Inherit the Earth... You said it yourself, it's mostly demographic. Had secularist been spewing out babies like screaming gumballs then things would have been different. But that's not the case. They seem to be fine with a small number of children. Maybe they were going for quality over quantity?  Grin  

Also seems it were the religious that are against family planning, or at least contraceptives.

I'd make a guess why atheists might prefer less children - they don't believe there'll be any deity out there to help their offspring. Thinking of this, they choose to have less children who they can give the best they possibly can.

Very good, it is indeed from SRIE, you are well read.

Quality over quantity argument is quite relative. If your legacy doesnt survive you it is still quality? And what, if your offspring will be increasingly small minority in a world, that they will not understand?

80% of all children share value systems of their parents into the adulthood (those numbers are for the West, elsewhere it is much higher). They you count in the fact, that secularists dont have enough children to atleast sustain their own population and that nothing prevents atheist from converting later in his/her life.

Numbers game. Current secular system doesnt have better perspective, than did those of Greco-Romans two millenia ago.

Soon the Chinese wouldn't have to worry about the "key persons". They're flooding Tibet with Han Chinese anyway and controlling the way the native Tibetans express their culture. They were also doing this in the Muslim areas, controlling stuff like, the dress the people wear as well as whether they're allowed to go to the haj or not.

Now, we should feel sorry for muslims?  Smiley How did those end up in China anyway? I dont remember chinese starting large scale immigration program.

Also this:

However, Xi added a warning, urging community leaders to “resist illegal religious infiltration and carry forward the patriotic tradition.” His words were especially pertinent. According to a new report published Wednesday, 114 Uighur Muslims have joined the ranks of the Islamic State (ISIS) from China’s westernmost Xinjiang province. Policies enacted by Beijing “could be a push factor driving people to leave the country and look elsewhere for a sense of ‘belonging,’” said the Washington, D.C.–based New America Foundation, regarding its analysis of leaked registration documents of 3,500 foreign ISIS recruits.

Uighur militants have historically been drawn to holy wars, previously in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and now Syria, Iraq and Turkey. Uighur extremists have also used bloody tactics to agitate for greater autonomy domestically. Following a spate of bus bombings and attempted plane hijackings in the 1990s and 2000s, in October 2013 a blazing car was driven into Beijing’s iconic Tiananmen Square — the birthplace of the People’s Republic — in an attack that killed five and injured dozens. On March 1, 2014, eight knife-wielding assailants ran amok at Kunming's train station in Yunnan province, leaving 29 civilians and 4 perpetrators dead.

Poor muslims being controlled by Chinese in... China.

Of course the citizens are partly to blame. It is not all about fate. They need to think, innovate, act together as a people not as a divided group. Fate in a way because there are other countries that are actually poor in natural resources. But as a country aware of it, they should think of a way out.

But a more important point here is that the world is fast becoming a single community. Globalization is the existing idea. When a single impoverished country falters time and again, the rest of the world, especially the rich and powerful ones are partly to blame. The rich countries may actually pool together resources to save those that are experiencing too much hardship as a country.

Sadly, greed rules.


Can you send me your bitcoin? I think I am poor in this single global community  Smiley

On a serious note, globalization doesnt mean equality, quite the opposite. When people stuck in 13th century compete against people from 21st century, who will that go down, buddy? Not to even mention genetic differences between various tribes and cultures. But they do compete.

Africans outbreed people from any other continent, but are unable to compete economically.

Muslims outbreed seculars, yet will hate them for being rich even without knowing Allah.

Globalization did not bring peace like Fukuyama promised, rather it highlighted the many differences between human beings in all over the world.
158  Other / Politics & Society / Re: How do you feel about the death penalty? on: June 22, 2017, 02:54:54 AM
The death penalty should be the only punishment for crimes involving murder. The only problem is not just sentences, but probably easier to get rid of judicial errors than to help the offender to escape just punishment.

Probably, but if you ask me, death penalty should be used for cold blooded killings, mass killings,... basically for those with life sentences, because they'll be rotting in that prison for life, living off of tax payers money. Also, those who are arrested for fiighting, destruction of property, football hooligans in my country,... should be just sent to the coal mines and make them dig for coal for a few years every day of the week. Unleast they'll save some money like that.
Death is not the answer to the problems, it's just that it's hard to stop someone who has already been to the dark side and it's not going to be helpful to the world and it feels like it's okay to kill them, but we shouldn't be like that, it's not the answer.

I agree with you. It is certainly not the answer to give the right to corrupt and often incompetent lawyers and emotional jurors the right to decide who lives and who dies!  Angry

How can any freedom loving person think that it is ok for the government to kill people?

The US legal system sure has some serious problems...

And how its okay for any "freedom loving" person to think, that it is his job to absolve a murderer of what he did?

Only your victim and God can do that. If you killed you victim, then alas you will have to talk with God. Death penalty is punishment for crimes against nature - such as killing other human beings in cold blood.

The guy version? Are you talking about the male version of rapex, to protect the men from anal rape (especially inside the prisons?). It will be funny if some gang member find his penis inside this device while trying to rape some noob.

Yeah, but youd have to wonder about orientation of a man, who willingly puts "rapex" in his own anus to be "safe". Also since prison rapes are communal thing, wouldnt that mean, that Mr. Anus would be then clubbed to death by the numerous friends of rapist?

because big countries and Russia and U.S.A are killing Muslim people for a several years and destroying their houses, many of innocent people were killed and now tortured people are trying  to repay for this.

Russia and the US are not sending their troops to the Muslim nations to kill them. The Muslims are killing each other without the silliest of the provocations. You can't put the blame on US/Russia, when you don't have the minimum commonsense to stay away from fighting.

are you kidding man? what a nonsense are you talking? millions of the  Russian and USA  soldiers are their and are killing  innocent people and they are calling  peaceful missions, but everyone new what a shit they are doing there.

Where were United States for all those years?

In the early era that inspired classical Islam (Rashidun Caliphate) and lasted less than a century, jihad spread the realm of Islam to include millions of subjects, and an area extending "from the borders of India and China to the Pyrenees and the Atlantic". The two empires impeding the advance of Islam were the Persian Sassanian empire and the Byzantine Empire. By 657 the Persian empire was conquered and by 661 the Byzantine empire was reduced to a fraction of its former size.

The role of religion in these early conquests is debated. Medieval Arabic authors believed the conquests were commanded by God, and presented them as orderly and disciplined, under the command of the caliph. Some recent explanations cite both material and religious causes in the conquests.

Jihad - holy genocidal war is eternal and ongoing.
