Even I had forgot about the Siberian Air Flight. Good that you brought it up. It has been established that the Ukrainian military shot down this civilian passenger jet, killing all the 78 individuals on board. Also, the Ukrainian government is yet to pay any sort of compensation to the Siberian Airlines company.

The Chinese are wise. A huge bottleneck in gold supply is coming up, and the market prices are going to zoom up very soon. Anyway, investing in gold is much better than investing in the Chinese Yuan (which is no better than toilet paper).

Sitting in the comfort of your home, with enough food stacked up nearby, I don't expect anyone to say otherwise. But things can get really ugly, if you end up in a deserted island or some other place where the food is not available.

It is not that easy for the government to trace you, but still the risks are there. For example, imagine that the vendor is co-operating with the government. He will be having your shipping address and the government will be able to nab you if they can get this information.

Right now Bitcoin is being targeted by an extensive negative propaganda campaign against it. The mainstream media is doing its best to paint the bitcoin as a currency, which is widely used for extortion and the purchase of contraband. If some politician backs Bitcoin, then his opponents will accuse him of indirectly supporting various criminal activities. And that will end his political career.

The Cuban government does not actively block the propaganda channels (like China and North Korea). Google does not face much censorship there. But first of all, not many can afford broadband internet in Cuba. Even if you try to disperse American propaganda through internet, it will reach only a few tens of thousand households at the most.

There is only one solution for this. The low IQ people must be sterilized after just one birth per couple. They should not be allowed to make dozens of children each.


If you don't like this thread (or any other thread), then just GTFO here and stop whining. We practice free speech. This is not some leftist liberal forum where you can shut down the threads which you don't like.

Recognition of a country doesn't matter. For example, the existence of Israel is not recognized by most of the Islamic nations. The situation with regards to Taiwan is also similar. That doesn't mean that the journalists can go to these countries without any documents.

How can you be sure that all those who lost their lives are drug dealers? I am certain that a large number of those who were killed had nothing to do with drugs. The vigilantes are using this situation, to murder anyone they don't like.

Alwaleed bin Talal is one of the few progressive voices from the Saudi Royal Family. Unfortunately, this guy is having no political power. The clown prince Mohammad bin Salman Al Saud is now ruling Saudi Arabia indirectly, and he is a hardcore Islamist.

The educated people are having less children. As the IQ increases, the birth rate decreases almost proportionally. The groups with the highest IQ (such as East Asians and Germans) are having the least number of children. On the other hand, the groups with the least IQ (Arabs, Africans.etc) are having the maximum number of children.

Why? The Turkish Stream, according to preliminary estimates is going to cost somewhere around €11.4 billion. And the Nord Stream 2 is also a very expensive project. I don't think that Gazprom is having that much funds in its reserves.

I don't think that what she did was illegal. It is true that prostitution is illegal in China. But she was not engaging in prostitution. She was just participating in some online adult show, which in my opinion does not fall inside the scope of prostitution.

The same can be said about most of the modern religions, such as Judaism and Christianity. The ultimate aim of these religions is the same. They want to increase the number of adherents, and once that aim is achieved, they will seize power.

Under GW Bush, the Americans went to war in third world nations (Iraq, Afghanistan.etc) to steal the natural resources. However, the policy changed under Obama. From 2008, the main purpose of the foreign interventions by the US was to please its allies in the middle east (such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates).

Expenses are not a problem for Gazprom. They can get cheap loans from the Russian government for constructing such a pipeline. But the main issue is the difficulty in getting the permission from the European Union. The EU don't want to become too dependent on Russian gas.

Read my post again. I said that water is inexpensive (desalinated water costs around $0.5 for 1,000 liters) and electricity is expensive. The production of "Hydrogen" requires a lot of electricity, and that makes this method very unsustainable.

I have a lot of Muslim friends as well. Never had a quarrel with any of them. But then, almost all of them want the Shariah law to be imposed (even for Non-Muslims), and want non-halal food banned. I can never support such people.

It will be better for Marouani to reach some kind of settlement with Kirkorov. I don't think that it will be in his interest to battle this out in the Russian courts. It will take years, if not decades to get a verdict.

A few people in oil-rich countries such as Gabon, Equatorial Guinea and Angola are living comfortably, thanks to the petro-dollar inflow. But once the crude price stays below $50 per barrel, their living standards will start to decline.
