    Latest Trump success.

    I see there are some Kool-Aid drinkers among the crowd here. My Kool-Aid drinker over here, my Kool-Aid drinker over there. That's nice. Come on over to the trough, boys and girls, there's plenty more where that came from. No collusion. There was no collusion, but by the way, in case there WAS...

    KITAS HOLDER RUNNING A shop

    I'm following this because at some point I will probably also be the bule helping - in some capacity - to run the wife's shop or business. Like they say the law of 2011 says we have the right of work to help support our family, and the Manpower regulation says that to work for a company, by...

    Government Trying to Stop Outside Interference

    Okay, got it this time, thanks. Talked to the wife. She seems to believe that Singapore has a significant involvement (along with Malaysia and other players) in the pressure being applied from outside (because of the financial damage from the tax amnesty, primarily). Combined with the...

    Government Trying to Stop Outside Interference

    Thanks 'pitch. Most of your analysis of the situation seems pretty spot-on to me. My only quibbles would be with the idea that this will be "the downfall of Indonesia's religion by the leaders of Indonesia's religious organization" ... maybe you could clarify that. If you mean the downfall of...

    Government Trying to Stop Outside Interference

    Don't think I have sufficient free time for 33 pages, but I'll have a look. We have been back in the U.S. for about six weeks and uh ... we've had some shit going on locally here too. I've been pretty focused on that ... :rip: :usa: :argue: :pray: As I said, I am generally aware and...

    Putting my cat to sleep tomorrow

    Been there, done that. Would say more, but see little to gain in looking back. Sorry for your loss.

    Government Trying to Stop Outside Interference

    Hm. I have been out of Indonesia since late June of this year. Have not been here (forum) in a few months I think. My wife tracks the news pretty well but we haven't talked about the political situation(s) between us to a serious degree. We have discussed the development with Ahok and the...

    Girls were for breeding purposes only

    1) As pointed out already, Indonesia is not nor has been purported to be a "secular (officially non-religious) country" 2) the burkini ban, burqa ban and similar regulations are not aimed at "foreigners", but at anyone in France, and includes millions of French citizens who are Muslim 3) After...

    Girls were for breeding purposes only

    Yes, it makes no sense, but more and more Western countries seem to be taking this non-sense which is straight from the Chinese playbook (we all know how much the Chinese care about "human rights"). They have been imposing such restrictions on the minority Muslim population in the far...

    Girls were for breeding purposes only

    'Kay ... thanks. If there is not sufficient interest left in the topic to keep it "going" or if people just run out of new things to say (I'm probably at about that point myself, if not beyond it, ha ha) then maybe it's time to move on to other threads and let this one enter a peaceful and...

    Girls were for breeding purposes only

    No, I'm not trying to "pull you into a side topic" at all. I'm trying to get you to consider whether posting off-topic content in a "serious" thread "because I wanted to avoid the depressing topic" actually makes sense or seems like a good idea. I'm not saying I've never been "guilty" of...

    Girls were for breeding purposes only

    Okay ... so, going back to my example, if I posted "on the topic", e.g, posted some curse words, and THEN started posting cookie recipes, because I did not really feel comfortable with the topic, that would be okay? Maybe I should try it and see what the reaction would be. I have a feeling some...

    Girls were for breeding purposes only

    Happy, it's all well and good if you and some of your friends would like to avoid the topic, if it makes you feel uncomfortable or depressed, but wouldn't it be more appropriate to do so by simply reading / posting on other threads? That's the part that is not quite making sense to me. Like...

    Girls were for breeding purposes only

    I suppose that "we" might be just as much in the "right" position to "decide" such matters as "they" ,,, but I could also be wr-wr-wr(ong). Since we know that several mods have been posting in the thread, it might not be too optimistic to think they might, in the course of time, delete posts...

    Girls were for breeding purposes only

    Quoted from the article: "France has the gall to parade itself as the bastion and purveyor of freedom, all the while using the same discourse to veil its inconsistent treatment of its Muslim citizens. In which warped universe is it legitimate to claim to assist women -- in this case...

    Girls were for breeding purposes only

    So I should probably warn the gentle reader that this post is going to -shock! - be germane to the actual topic of the thread ... and ... um ... apologize in advance? "So sorry for going back to the topic, please excuse the interruption of your perpendicular postulations"? :D An article...

    Girls were for breeding purposes only

    There is no doubt in my mind that you have the right, sorry mod gods, privilege to express your opinions here, whether they are in line with the majority or the minority. Posters who seem to be holding the "minority" viewpoint on a given thread do sometimes get sort of ganged up on here, maybe...

    Considering the actual depths of my lazyness, that would actually be a great help indeed ...

    Girls were for breeding purposes only

    Well like they say mate it's a free country he he he ... post or don't post, as you like ... respond or don't respond, as you like ... wear a burkini (or a nun's habit), or don't wear one, as you like ... etc.
