    So do the Kurds have a deathwish or something? They are surrounded by about 5 countries that are perfectly fine genociding people if they have to.

    So beheading and burning children to death is warranted? They brought it on themselves?

    I've never defended actions such as these bUT merely say that Islam has brought this escalation to the forefront. For you not to admit to this is dishonest. The world is waking up finally. We are not a test tube for your intellectual experiments. Some people will never get along and that is because Islam is a disease to humans.

    Yes, you very clearly have. Your post about is very explicit in blaming them for their own attempted eradication.

    But, whoa, when did ethnic cleansing in Burma become my political experiment? It actually seems like those actions are very much in line with your ideology, and you are very quick to blame the victim for them. So, are you condoning it or not?

    Malta car bomb kills Panama Papers journalist
    Daphne Caruana Galizia, a blogger whose investigations focused on corruption, was described as a ‘one-woman WikiLeaks’

    The journalist who led the Panama Papers investigation into corruption in Malta was killed on Monday in a car bomb near her home.

    Daphne Caruana Galizia died on Monday afternoon when her car, a Peugeot 108, was destroyed by a powerful explosive device which blew the car into several pieces and threw the debris into a nearby field.

    The Islamists are like cancer and that is the only way to get rid of them.

    What is the alternative? Hope they will go away? Allow them to seize power? Good luck with that.

    Please tell how well any of the Islamic integration has gone around the world? What is the plan from your side on how to deal with this fanaticism?

    This was conveniently ignored. The left has no answer for this. Just bury your head in the sand and hope they start to play nice.

    More cybersecurity woes:

    http://www.newsweek.com/hacked-butt-...sex-toy-687719

    HACKED BUTT PLUG CAN BE CONTROLLED 'FROM ANYWHERE'

    Researchers have discovered a serious security flaw with a Bluetooth-enabled butt plug that allows hackers to remotely take control of the vibrating sex toy.

    Italian security researcher Giovanni Mellini published his findings in a blogpost on Tuesday, October 18, describing how he was able to send a vibrate command to a Hush butt plug from his laptop.

    The Hush device, manufactured by Lovense, is designed to be a “long-distance love toy” and is described by the sex toy startup as “the world’s first teledildonic butt plug” that can be "controlled from anywhere."
    .....
    “If I hack a vibrator it’s just fun,” Raimund Genes, chief technology officer at Trend Micro, said at the time. “But if I can get to the back-end, I can blackmail the manufacturer.”

    The rise in crime is accelerating, with the latest figures showing a 13% increase in all police-recorded offences across England and Wales, and even greater rises for violent offences including knife crime, sexual offences and violence against the person.

    I think we all know what the reason is.

    Climate change.

    I enjoy being mocked for my views while the facts are squarely in my corner.

    Irrelevant point. Care to comment in drastically increased crime rates in the UK?
