Poputt Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I'd go for Australia. They've got a lot of the perks but they don't have the immigrant ghetto problems that Sweden has. Plus they all speak a language pretty similar to English in Australia. You need a work VISA to get there though (obv.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackman Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 On another note I'm curious....what other countries doesn't suck? I've been entertaining the idea of Canada and South Korea but would love to hear your guys' thoughts. Looking somewhere with good healthcare and a non fascist regime. The healthcare is because my daughter is autistic if anyone is curious. Canada is probably your best bet. Norway is expensive and they just don't let anybody in unless you can prove you are a valuable asset to their society (so I've heard; I base that on very little). Do you get healthcare for autism? I'm sure not people see that as a disease, and they shouldn't. Prevalence of autism has increased a LOT lately. Is humanity suddenly getting more autistic, or have the 'corrections' to the definition lately made it so. I agree that being around heavily autistic people isn't really a blast, but is money going to rectify that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMW_Loyalist Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 <p>You know what really grinds my gears?</p><p> </p><p> Hypocrites, I am so sick of these hypocritical people in America. These people scream and shout tolerance and acceptance, but the minute someone shares a different view or opinion they're ostracized and belittled. As a black man I find what I see sickening from these morons of not only my race but all races whether they be male or female. I'm so sick of hearing about white privilege and systemic racism from these holier than though leeches. If you teach young black boys and girls that they'll never get ahead because of this and that then what reason do they have to try? Civil Rights was a movement built upon giving blacks the chance to compete and now all I see is blacks with their damn hand out asking the same "white monster" they crap over to fix it. How about we fix our own damn community first and worry about the rest later. It'll be a cold day in hell before I ever teach my children such nonsense. Why, because I want them to go into the world with hard work and determination as their strongest asset not looking for someone to just give them something because they're "oppressed" and need to be coddled.</p><p> </p><p> Then the whites go on and on about this white privilege nonsense and are now our champions and will end this and that. Yet, if you ask any one of them to step aside and allow someone less "privileged" to get their spot on the team, their spot in a college, or their spot in anything that can be deemed due to this so called illicit privilege they won't. My grandmother was born in 1929 and she is disgusted by what she is witnessing in America by these people. She lived through REAL racism and was called a ni**er nearly everyday of the week as she worked hotels, soup kitchens, and the sort in the 40's and on. Yet here she is at 87 years old and she has said she's never been more disappointed in America than what she is at this moment in time. Do you understand what kind of situation or state this country must be in for someone who has lived and seen what she has to say such a thing. My grandmother was an open Trump supporter and you know what the liberals who preach acceptance and tolerance called her? They called and 87 year old woman a coon, an uncle Tom, a bigot, a sexist, a rape apologist, and all of these came from black and white alike. I find it extremely funny as the white social justice warriors are champions for blacks and wants to change things for us yet if a black doesn't agree they're either disrespectful or quiet as they are too afraid to debate for fear of being called a racist. It hilariously pitiful that blacks in America can't be criticized as people fear being called racist. What has happened in America?</p><p> </p><p> What in the hell kind of country do we live in where even the wisest of Americans, our elders, are not off limits to these people? It has taken everything I have to remain cordial, respectful, and peaceful to and with people as they attack me and my family for our own personal beliefs. Yet here I am being a human being and doing it anyway although many of these people don't deserve a shred of decency from anyone. I find great solace when I come across a person whether they be liberal, conservative, or whatever that can have an open exchange of ideas and beliefs and remain respectful. I now know that decent people do exist on the left yet they are overshadowed by the morons who'd rather divide and rip this country apart instead of coming together under the banner of being American. </p><p> </p><p> That, that is what really grinds my gears. </p><p> </p><p> [My apologies for the rant, but thank you for allowing me to release that.]</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpoolez Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 <p>What grinds my gears the most is when the IWC complains about every possible move WWE makes whether it was good or bad.</p><p> </p><p> There are actually people complaining that Joe should've been in the rumble. All that would've happened is he would've been fodder for the bigger names like everyone else were and eliminated with ease lol. When people like Braun, Goldberg and Brock were all eliminated with relative ease, that doesn't bode well for someone being introduced to WWE like Joe, who has a gimmick to where his protection is important as well.</p><p> </p><p> The way they debuted Joe was a nice swerve from what was probably expected by some, and he looks so much better than if WWE would've thrown him in the rumble as just another guy.</p><p> </p><p> For once I think WWE made thee right call with this one.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BHK1978 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 <p>People who believe in Karma and always have to make a point of saying, "What goes around, comes around."

It is one of those things that people believe in because they have to believe that in the end the people who do wrong will get what is coming to them. Do not get me wrong it is a nice sentiment to believe in but it not something based in reality. Yet people swear that it is a fact.</p><p> </p><p> If Karma is real how can a piece of human garbage like Charles Manson gets to die of old age and innocent children, who have never done anything wrong in their lives, around the world die in their infancy.
