Well this got horribly racist really quick. Savages? "Hajis"? Anyone who wants to label a bunch of refugees who've had their homes destroyed as savages is the real savage.
Haji isn't a racist term. Or I guess every single American soldier is a racist. And they are savages. Look at their literacy rates and beliefs compared to the west. I don't want them in my back yard, but I take it since you're no savage you're willing to open your home to them.
Always someone else has to sacrifice for your morals. Never require anything on your part.
Would happily have them where I live (I am a nice person, who welcomes other cultures) and Haji is a racist term.
Their literacy rates compared with the West are unsurprisingly lower... they don't have life as good as most people in the West.
And the part in bold. What the fuck are you talking about?

Right, cause removing the monopoly of domain name control won't open it up to puppet courts or international claims. "you may have registered amazon.com in 1998, but this chinese firm has called themselves Amazon since 1996, so we're going to configure the DNS in this country to point to the Chinese company. "
Was there a problem in which the way the US, the country who developed the computer and world wide web, was handling domain registration? If not, why turn it over to other countries who don't respect copyrights and free speech?
An aside: That's not entirely true... the first part especially not.

Not a US citizen but I am still surprised some folk here are basically saying
"Dear Other Sovereign Nuclear Power,
Please hack our government and steal classified information and use it to defame one our presidential candidates. If not hack at least go through everything you currently have and find some dirt and publish it.
Yours,
The American People + The Other Person Running for President"
Why would you advocate and welcome Russia:
1. Breaching your governments infrastructure
2. Stealing sensitive and classified information
3. Blatantly interfering in your countries political process
None of that sounds like a good idea, at all.

So turns out he was a German native who had an obsessions with shootings and no religious motivation.

Again with the Us Vs Them BS. We're not talking shit about the US, we're talking shit about a certain portion of it's electorate.
Europe sure as hell does have it's own problems and my own country is polarized on a lot of issues, immigration being one of them.
And TheMole hit the nail on the head. More than ever our world is globalized and we're all kind of part of the same place, tribalism is antiquated. That's why it should matter how you're perceived.

Think you're misreading the Turkish situation - backsliding into secularism?? Turkey was a bastion of secularist democracy. It's backsliding into a caliphate/Islamic State, into mob rule by sympathetic Islamists & a gateway for Isis. It's ruled by a religious zealot who wants to undo all the progress the country has made until this point.
Mistake using the word secular, meant relgious. That's what I get for posting late at night 
But yeah, as you describe the Turkey situation is very worrying.
And to those back pedaling, sorry, some of you are coming across as nativist and xenophobic. If you genuinely aren't or don't think you are those things perhaps check your own rhetoric.

How terrible that an American Presidential candidate believe the interest of the United States should come before anything else. The HORROR! I mean the ABSOLUTE HORROR!
I also liked the parts where they said the Obama administration has also come to the same conclusions as Drumpf, they're just not publicizing it. If you think American lives and livelihood should be treated as equal to 3rd world peasants who can't speak a word of english and think it's okay to rape and assault people, we're not really having a realistic discussion. But if you want to risk your life for the happiness and security of nations you couldn't pick out on a map without google, head to your recruiting station and sign up. McDonalds will have a new fry cook within the hour.
This is some of the nastiest, privileged (And not white/western privileged, AMERICAN privileged) ill informed tripe I have ever read.
Turkey is not a third world country. It is a relatively modern, Western country with mostly modern values where the majority of people are muslim. That is a feat and something that should be applauded, nurtured and helped. It is an example of true integration and a great step towards deradicalisation of some of the nastier parts of Islam. It is now on the brink of sliding back into secularism and has a president who is trying to suspend Human Rights, something he actually shouldn't be able to do as Turkey as a member of the Council of Europe. World leaders should be deploring these actions.
"Peasants"? Are you serious? Turkey is a country with great interest from big business, and many smart talented individuals work there.
Also, what does speaking English, have to do with how deserving a people are of help. Saying shit like that is what gets you a reputation for being xenophobic. Because there is no point to bring it up unless you are trying to suggest that certain people are lesser than you for not speaking your mother tounge - when they're not even in your fucking country!
tl;dr : You are spouting disgusting hate speech.
#760 Re: Guns N' Roses » Official band pic » 532 weeks ago
DJ is the worst lead guitarist this band has ever had no contest even Robin Finck is ten times better than him dude flat out sucks. Any beginner with 3 month practice can play DJ`s stuff.
I don't disagree that he was a pretty bad fit for the band but the bolded part is completely untrue and only someone who has never played guitar would say that. Ashba does have some chops.
That said, he still sucked
