A young, somewhat attractive, somewhat talented rich white girl isn't the lovely darling we thought she was?!

What's more sad is that they I somehow know about this 'feud' between these plastic sociopaths

He was a man of specific quirks. He believed that all meals should be earned through physical effort. He also contended, zealously like a drunk with a political point, that the third dimension would not be possible if it werent for the existence of water.

Very talented and very rich.

But she's had literally 10 boyfriends in the last 4 years, there's gotta be something wrong with her with that rate of turnover :lol:

In other news, some bloke stabbed 4 people (inc. 3 children) in France for wearing revealing clothing. No surprises for guessing the religion of the perp.


That bit about "revealing clothing" has been specifically refuted by the police.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jul/19/woman-daughters-stabbed-wearing-shorts-tshirts-alps-resort-france

Jean-Marc Duprat, a deputy mayor for the nearby town, initially said the attacker was upset with his victims because they were wearing shorts and T-shirts. He later said that did not appear to be the case and that the attacker’s motive was not known.

Raphaël Balland, a public prosecutor, said the motive for the attack was “very hazy”. Balland said the idea that the assailant could have been upset over what his victims were wearing was merely a “rumour” and that he had “not uttered any words reproaching them for their dress at the moment of the attack”.

A police source told the Nouvel Obs: “No words of a religious connotation were uttered.”


Still, very disturbing nonetheless.

Of course the police are going to down play the religious element. They're scared of civil war breaking out.

The same reason the police in France and Germany have severely down played the amount of girls and boys that have been raped by Muslims.

Geez I am old. Do not understand whatsoever the obsession with Taylor Swift, either musically or looks. She is not unattractive, but people go on like she is the most beautiful woman on earth.

And as far as Kanye goes, I really think this is a case of "the emperor has no clothes". People go on like he is a musical genius.

Yeah, he has had some catchy songs, but it seems to me it is his antics that drive his popularity.

Kanye has won like 20 Grammys. His popularity stems from the fact he has produced some of the best hip hop songs of the 21st century.

Personally I'd say he is a musical genius and can match it with anyone in the industry.

He's won 20 grammys because the music industry is a fucking joke.

His earlier lyrics were less horrific than his more recent ones.

FFS. Bush and his neocon handlers have a fuck load to answer for. Iraq War created such a mess.

They haven't gone away either with their push for war with Iran and using the Bush presidency to stack the State Dept with their ideological followers.

1 year ago America was under pressure for doing nothing. Now every little incident is under scrutiny (in saying that this is not a little incident). I'm no expert but I imagine war is not as black and white as the general population expect it to be.

In this instance was the intelligence false? Did the Americans ignore intelligence?

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jul/20/erdogan-bans-academics-from-travel-holds-first-post-coup-security-meeting-ankara-turkey

3-month state of emergency being declared in Turkey.

You've got to give it to Erdogan, he doesn't let a crisis go to waste!

"The scale of the crackdown has prompted the UN high commissioner for human rights, Zeid Ra’ad al Hussein, to express “serious alarm”, urging the Turkish authorities to respect human rights in the aftermath of the coup".

“The mass suspension or removal of judges is cause for serious alarm, and reports that many have been subject to detention orders also raises concerns of arbitrary detention.”

"Intelligence sources say many of the officers who took part in the coup were on a list of some 600 high-ranking military personnel accused of Gülenist ties that was submitted by the national intelligence service to the army’s headquarters last Tuesday. The officers were facing dismissal in August during the annual appointments and promotions in the Turkish military.

Fresh details emerged on the coup attempt on Wednesday, with testimony published in the newspaper Hurriyet by a senior general who said the coup plotters attempted to persuade General Hulusi Akar, the chief of staff taken hostage during the putsch, to back the rebels, but he refused. A Turkish official confirmed the authenticity of the testimony.

Senior army commanders publicly condemned the coup as it was unfolding, a stance that Turkish officials credit with playing a key role in its failure".

1 year ago America was under pressure for doing nothing. Now every little incident is under scrutiny (in saying that this is not a little incident). I'm no expert but I imagine war is not as black and white as the general population expect it to be.

In this instance was the intelligence false? Did the Americans ignore intelligence?

We will never know.

But I would argue that it was unlikely deliberate, or through carelessness. They cannot afford these types of incidents from a propaganda perspective.

So the Americans bombed a bunch of innocent Syrians. Fuck me dead. It's a cycle and it's completely unnecessary. I just wonder if the Americans are deliberately this incompetent.


FFS. Bush and his neocon handlers have a fuck load to answer for. Iraq War created such a mess.

They haven't gone away either with their push for war with Iran and using the Bush presidency to stack the State Dept with their ideological followers.

people forget, there always been a mess...

USA didn't make Saddam Hussein invaded Iran

the USA didn't make Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait

the USA didn't make Iran quds force take over defector control of Iraq

USA didn't make the Sunni countries create ISIS as a counter balances


sometimes, when the USA pull it's troops out (Iraq) and Navy (philippines) , other countries see it as a opportunity (Iran) and (China)

Indeed. What strikes me as odd though is that America didn't learn from Iraq. That war achieved nothing. The successes were offset by incidents such as these which only increased the level of hatred toward America. I can't see how the Syrian campaign will do anything but the same.

There is no point in the USA or any western country getting involved in this area of the world. People die for nothing.

Georgia 2008 started while Putin was sitting in the opening ceremony, Ukraine just after Sochi and even Hungary at the same time as the Melbourne Olympics. The Baltics should be stocking up on ammo.
