Why I select "pay cash on delivery" option wherever possible.

Wrong. It was just good old American vs Pakistan. Let's not forget geography. My vote was the one that counted. I didnt even step in yet. o/

If you like CN type politics however, a lot more interactive game, Eve online has free to play option to try the game out for as long as you like. If you sign up through my referral, and later upgrade to free account, *I* get, ~1 bn isk (eve money), which i'll transfer to you. The worth of ~1bn$ is like ~$20, if you were to purchase it later. ~1bn isk takes a couple+ months to earn on your own, but by using referral, you get it for free. I dont get anything out of it, as I'll pass on the money (and I dont need it). The game has bit of a curve, but the community is very welcoming to new players and there are great alliances who focus on improving you as a new player. So if you're interested, let me know. Start downloading the client and pm for referral.

Heard bad reviews from friends about this and mummy.

They are but still they're old by today's standards and clunky in that sense. Red alert was the first multiplayer game I played, using 56k modems dialing to friends. It was so much fun. I wish they made Age of Empires and Red Alert great again!. I've seriously considered throwing down my investments + Kickstarter and getting a team to make a game that' has similar gameplay but modern in terms of UI and UX.

Yup and with migrant and refugee crises, I guess everyone's a bit edgy, which is understandable.

Havent heard this podcast but Zakaria was caught for plagiarism. Ive heard some of his stuff in the past, which I thought was mostly bs, but hey, CNN, a whole lot of nothing burger!

Tbh, I m not even sure on some of the definitions of what makes what. I just answered the questions . Also, daym Lys, a Neocon! You guys caused quote a mess in the world and didn't even manage to reap profits out of that mess in the end.

No, if I was a security risk, they would mention that on the rejection letter, it has several reasons mentioned and yours is tick marked as to why. Perhaps a more detailed travel itenary could have been provided on my part. Offcourse I provided everything that was required, but perhaps what more I could have done was say provide exactly what I plan to do on each of the days. I can reapply, but I'm very short on time. I should have just applied through Belgium with the TL tickets tbh. I included all the tickets and stuff. I'm an expat in Dubai and my family is in Pakistan and I don't own any assets or property in Dubai. So perhaps that was the weak part. I could have emphasized that my family, esp my parents are my dependants as I do send home certain amount every month for covering the expenses. I showed the bank statement but didn't mention this part. So perhaps they may have felt I don't have dependants back home who rely on my stable income for expenses. So I feel this is the part that may have been missing. A couple of my friends in Pakistan got the visa, we all had more or less exactly the same travel itenary (obv, because we are a group of friends). I don't see any difference in our situations apart from our current locations. We are all well educated in multinationals with great career paths and a decent travel history. So I guess I needed to emphasize more on my family tired which I didn't because they didnt ask for it but I suppose it would have made for a stronger case and less of a flight risk. Also, some of my friends are married but I'm not so I guess that would also affect my case negatively. Another reason is I could have added a cover letter with details and more defined purpose. I assumed having tickets and hotel etc to places was good enough that I'm a tourist. But I will mention next time that I'd like to visit the coffee houses . So yea, not end of the world, I know what I can do better for next application, thinking of going to Prague now instead, they have better chicks in Eastern Europe I heard..is it true Ccabal?

Applied to Netherlands, Schengen, because I'd love to see Amsterdam. Reasons are:1. Your intention to leave the territory of the Member State before the expiry of this visa could not be established.2. The purpose and circumstances of the intended stay are insufficiently demonstrated Best/worst part is my freinds applied exactly the same way, and they got the visas.

Fml, app rejected, mentioned I'm an overstay risk/would not return/become illegal migrant. :-/ :Confused: Not sure why they think I'd give up income higher than your avg western EU income and end up unemployed in a ghetto by being a runner. :-/ Any advise?

I love this graph! The best part is you could have probably guessed where most of us would have fallen!

Ty, the forum is bugged, Samus upto no good

When I read the title, I feared we're about to have an EA moment. Still miss Red Alert. Skyrim - Reason I dozed off with eyes open during my MBA! Was a tough life, considering half the grades were for class participation meaning you had to come prepared in advance for what you're about to study. Struggle.

Btw, The entire plot was leaked and then verified by the trailers.

ok I wrote a response and it wont post :/

Agreed, as I said, gotta lock up the hate preachers and increase resources for the police, they're the true heroes.

Look, you can only blame colonialism and botched foreign affairs for so long. Muslims were not the only ones who were shafted by the power plays of great powers, yet the problem of global terrorism is a uniquely Muslim problem. Do you want to talk about the root causes? Great! First question: why do extremists find it so easy to justify their actions by the Koran? Why is their narrative so hard to counter? Simply saying that the terrorists are un-Islamic and they have nothing to do with Islam is clearly BS, because they are convinced of their truth to the point where they wish nothing more than to martyr themselves. I deliberately didn't say "sacrifice" because what they're doing isn't something along the lines of "I may die, but I will further my Cause so that my children have a happier life" kind of thing. What they think is more along the lines of "I will die on the field of battle and take as many infidels as I can with me. For this God will wipe away all my sins and will be rewarded with eternal bliss in Paradise" So what is this then if not a deadly combination of hatred, contempt and religious zeal?The fact you think I talked about colonialism shows your utter lack of information on the topic which would actually relate to the second point. Regarding Quran and violence, when you're onto something, your mind will find a way to justify it. You are an example in itself, you're convinced there is a justification for it, even tho, you seem like a well read and educated guy, your search for 'truth' was limited to the point of finding justification of violence in a text, you found off some blogs, tabloids etc and validated your believes. You were able to find what you were looking for. If you were looking for the opposite, you would have found that too, it's the internet man. You WILL find what you're looking for to validate your believes. See you thought I was talking about colonialism, I wasn't, but it helps shed light onto the kind of information you seek and gather to VALIDATE what you believe in. Now to extend your broken logic..why is it so easy to justify violence, occupation, death and destruction in the name of freedom, justice and democracy? More people have died on the receiving end of it then any other ideology since the fall of communism. Now, to say there is no problem here is putting your head in the sand, there's a big fucking problem here IMO and it starts with parallel madrassah education systems, which in its current form is big echo chamber of dangerous stupidity, back it up by overall weaker education system in general, poor governance and you have this certain number of volatile people as a baseline. Then you pour in war, destruction, personal lose (due to war) and you get a cocktail of extremists. So if you were to ask me what needs to be done, parallel systems of education need to be shut down ASAP, these tom dicks and harrys of religion (they, btw, mostly are politicians as well, so you catch my drift here) need to be locked up in solitary confinement, and the main education system to be ramped up along with no foreign violent foreign interventions in otherwise ~stable societies and countries (Iraq was stable as a society, Libya too was socially stable, sure Gaddafi was a dick but right now you have multiple bigger dicks running the show their), let this play out for a while and things will settle down IMO, stop with the whole regime change stuff, find just solutions to issues of Palestine and Kashmir etc where millions have lived under violent occupation with no basic rights or even dignity etc. And yea, meanwhile, keep pounding ISIS and the nut jobs, they'll eventually wear out as their recruitment will become ineffective due to the above reasons. Right now, the problem is that we all are counting on those who instigated the problems, these are not individuals, these are well rooted established political institutions, Republicans, Democrats, Tories, bla bla and their counterparts on the other side, your household political brands, they're all instigators to this shit show. Fear gets you votes, fear gets you to win elections, fear creates war, war maintains balance of power. What you and me are discussing within the grand context is quite cute, naive and laughable, but we're having our little discourse where we learn from each other.

If Mosque is spreading hate, it should be investigated but that logic has a downward spiral to it and you play right into the hands of extremists. Because I imagine the ISIS guys attacking near parliament would claim that building is infamous for getting thousands of innocents killed over centuries. See? It's a stupid and dumb logic. It's a slippery slope. Wehm have to remember thaf at the end of the day, innocent people are injured or killed. This is an unfortunate incident and exactly what ISIS would have hoped for, a cycle of violence. Meanwhile, no meaningful steps taken to curb the hate anywhere in world. Gg Nowhere did I say the fact that the mosque was an Islamist propaganda center excuses this type of behavior, it clearly doesn't. NOTHING DOES. But as you said, this can all to easily lead to a spiral of violence, which was my point. If all involved patries (Muslim communities, governments, anti-extremism task forces, and even ordinary citizens) don't start doing their parts, we're going to end up in a really, REALLY bad situation. Muslim communities reported all of the people involved in attakcz. Security knew people involved, they knew who the preachers were and sources of radicalization. Yet, nothing was done or done so gradually, it didn't matter. What do you want the communities to do then? Take law in their hand? Or what do they do when they know some of these guys turn out to be assets...to be used to topple regimes like that Child killer of London? They become figures like hmm.. Tony Blair then, you know he's scum, responsible for death of many more children than ISIS can hope to be, everyone knows he's a baddie, but he's still roaming out and about, so perhaps, law thinks he isn't a baddie, ah well, shit luck, nothing to be done here. Govt responsibility starts at the misadventures of foreign policy. Corbyn has that correct, it's all a messed up of a blow back to decades of porsecution, war and occupation thrusted upon Muslim populations. You think one day a bunch of guys woke up and decided to brain wash people to a twisted ideology, no these kinds of ideologies don't spread unless there's a fertile ground for these. What are the Muslim communities to do when billions in money, arms and training are injected as part of regime toppling policies, interventions which by design fuck up the communities. Where is the increased budget for local law enforcement? Or change in laws to deal with hate preachers? Oh wait, British govt was busy getting out hit-wicket in yet another elections, at the end, people voted to elect someone who cut the law enforcement budgets. Chickens voting for Col. Sanders. :-/

Nice side stepping. I'd be happy to March as long as all forms of violence are protested against. I'm not going to get into selective moralisms. Terrorism ON Muslims as Muslims are the largest porsecuted group by Non muslim and Muslim terror and terrorism done in their name, both aspects need to be protested against. All angles to the story should be covered. The root causes and symptom both must be highlighted if you are actually sincere about solving the issue. And tbh, at end of the Day, it gets stale, I have nothing to prove to anyone, especially those who have already prejudged me based on their ignorance or their echo chambers or believe systems where there only one side to story, you can't argue with a wall and theyll just keep asking you to do more and more and more, it's a shit show from start to finish. Eventually they'll realise theyve been attacking the symptoms and ignored the root causes.

Expecting 5 million people to March chanting "not in our name", led by ccabal.

I don't know you well enough to know how you live your life... by the way you answered the question, I will just assume you are Muslim and follow the central text of Islam, The Quran. To me, Islam is a man made organization, a "club", a bunch of people that like hanging out together and doing the same thing. I myself, do not attach myself to any of these clubs. I don't want to hang out with any of them, or do the same things as they do. I also strongly believe that I should not be killed because I don't want to join the club. I am on a Bowling team and participate in several leagues. To do this I must join the club. The club is the United States Bowling Congress, USBC for short. If any faction of the USBC began killing people for not bowling... we would have a big problem with that, and those people would either be dead or in prison. We would protect our club, or dissolve it... and before you say "it's not the same thing"... to me it is. It's just another club. We don't want you to feel burdened to apologize for the actions of some of the members of your club. We do expect you to control your club, or dissolve it. Islam must take responsibility for what their club members do... and just saying "It's not me" is not enough. This may be a simple way to say it, but it's probably the best way for you to understand how most of the USA feels about it. If Islam needs help to control the club members... Islam needs to ask for it, because we will not just ignore it. That bowling analogy is actually really good, but needs to be amended. The extreme bowlers not only kill people who do not play, but other club members too for not bowling well enough. They expecially hate those that also bowl, but are using a slight variation of some of the rules. They justify their acts by referencing the club's by-laws, which is a jumbled mess, and more than a few articles read exactly like the extreme bowlers claim. Unfortunatlely changing or reinterpreting the by-laws is also strictly forbidden. Leaving the club is not really possible either, and usually draws the ire of the other club members. Poor anology. It is fundamentally flawed because it assumes same rules apply for everyone, but obviously they dont. See one team has rigged the entire thing, bowling Congress can't do shit, it's a pony show. Members of one team can end up destroying entirety of other clubs, leagues and their facilities and get away with it. However if a member of another team does shady shit then the entire team is expected to owe up to it, even tho they didn't approve or had nothing to do with it, oh and later we find out the guy doing shady shit had recieved help from the most powerful club which is now holding the rest of the team responsible for the actions of shady member. But wait! some of the teamembers who could reign in on the shady dude were beaten up just right before by the same ol big club and so are out of the scene, just before all the shady shit went down. So, bohoo.

"Obama allowed guns to be illegally exported to drug cartels in Mexico, resulting in the death of a border patrol agent." No shit.
