Never had any friends relocate to the outback, but know some who have gone to Europe. Its no joke trying to stay there, unlike the US. In the Netherlands, you have to learn the language and meet many requirements before you can be considered. The best way is to be classified as a businessman, or other means which are expensive and time consuming. In the US, anyone can just samba across the Rio Grande and become untouchable. We can't break up family's with cruel heartlessness! and if a

Yes, when I listen to Trump I hear one of the most conservative agendas I've ever heard really, with the exception of entitlements and debt. I would vote for him just to save the Supreme Court alone. I can't see how someone can be like, hey, my principals keep me from voting for him, because hey, some course language is far more offensive than partial birth abortions and a liberal Supreme Court executing every liberal wet dream from the bench, which circumvents any further need for Co

The time of choice is coming for us Americans and both candidates are lightning rods for different reasons. I line up more with Donald Trump and his beliefs more than I do with Clinton, period. I would actually find a Trump Presidency to be a relief as opposed to a Clinton presidency which would begin with impeachment hearings as soon as she takes the oath, provided the bible didn't burst into flames upon her resting her hands on it. And all this "misogyny crap is so ridiculous. I have sa

I really respect Trump for his ability to fight the storm of all he has faced in the election. I don't believe any of the sexual abuse accusers and think they were all paid for. They have thrown

Oh god Jafo, stop being so melodramatic :D No one will nuke the planet, grab everyones p***y, or have Muslims put in front of firing squads if Trump were to win. My guess is that Trump would remain bombastic, but behind closed doors he would be somewhat measured and restrained by Congress as any President would be at this point.

I will have to vote for Trump and I'll tell you why. The Supreme Court. The next President will have one important task and that's it... appointing justices. Congress will be in gridlock and will be completely ineffective as they are now, so Trumps biggest power will be his influence on the courts. If I'm to take him at his word after being a lifelong Democrat and a friend of the Clinton's until recently, I will be happy to see any of the justices on the list he provided appoi

Jafo, I agree that Trump is abrasive and obnoxious, but I don't agree with the dumb part. Some years back I liked his page on fb cause I always liked his shows and persona, I guess that makes me an evil sexist monster :D Its all like Schwarzenegger who was a beloved superstar until he decided to run against Democrats, then he was suddenly a serial groper and rapist! Millions of dollars are being spent to shape peoples opinions so its not surprising that Trump is starting to ta

Election 2016 in Politics JoeUser Forums

What an election season. Democrats are hardly worth the time to write about anymore, but Republicans are proving to be even worse. They have now been exposed as career politicians with absolutely no loyalty to party, only to interests, and money. Need evidence? Look no further than "war hero" John McCain. Most people that I know were so sickened by the idea of him becoming the party nominee in 2008, that they refused to vote for him, but I, as a loyal Republican, held my nose and did the deed

Liberals generally are horrified when a guy on deathrow finally has his sentence carried out after 35 years, but when infants that can live outside the womb are being extracted in a, "less crunchy" manner to preserve body parts for sale, they find it perfectly acceptable? If we don't protect the weakest among us then we have no civil society.

They need to disinter Steve Jobs to bring quality back... that new phone just doesn't seem to have the same quality. I'm not all that happy with my Samsung S4 as the last update hit the battery life hard, but I'm not sure what phone I want to get next. I'm sure it wont be an Iphone and I'm almost certain Samsung has lost me as well. Samsung releases updates that diminish the quality of the phone.

I've had a couple of false flags in Malwarebytes. Before removing the alleged exploit check out the date of the file. If the file has the same date as the programs installation the chances are high its a false flag. I also use HJT to check the list of registry entries to see if anything latched on.

I'm just really curious about a tech issue. How in 2013 can a website with an unlimited budget and years of planning fail? It has to be by design imo. There isn't any way such incompetence is achievable, it has to be intentional. It must be because the exchanges are so incomplete and expensive that the website was designed broken as a method of delay.
