The off topic thread #2

All I'm saying is I got up to go to work today with no threat of being enlisted to fight a war. Or threat of an air raid while at work. The worlds not as bad as people are making out is what I'm saying

Because he's the President-elect.

Not the President.

Think what you want, and again you have shown you are unable to debate without slinging arrows. You are totally unable to even comprehend both sides without throwing abuse.

Pot, meet kettle.

Will be checking whether it actually rises in the morning daily for the next 4 years coz I believe some shit's gonna go down in the world soon. Not just the US that's a mess, asia's a mess, africa's a mess, europe's a mess

We shall see. Until it is actually a mess and we are at world war and being bombed I'll be living it without the fear of impending doom

Of course you don't worry, you're in New Zealand, even if the whole world gets bombed no one will bomb New Zealand coz everyone forgets that it exists

Way to miss the point.

I was being even more generous with the optimism. You really think the world will be in a worse place than ever in the next 6 months?

Plus everyone likes Hobbits.

But I'm the frog that's waiting for the water to boil....

Do you guys really think your lives at risk in 2017. **** me

Boring.

Youve got nothing SM

I don't, I'd bomb the shit outta those short hairy-feet inbreds anyday

Ooops I just sounded like Trump

 

[jd2010]

You guys sound like Spurs fans with the glass 1/4 empty fearing for your life

Do you not think there is a chance of something huge taking place?

I was joking so don't get too hung up

Not lives at risk, but the world is definitely heading to boiling point, I follow asian politics, European politics and US politics, I can't think of many places where it isn't in disarray. Things are definitely getting worse. For one I actually worry for Taiwan which btw just protest voted to get a non-China aligned party in office, and China lost their shits. I wonder how bold China would be militarily towards Taiwan now with Trump at the helm

People think forward and be wary of threats is just good ol' long term thinking, thinking you don't care til shit goes down is the exact attitude that got Trump elected

Hi Nae,

Is your club treating you like a campaigner today too?Already got me and Shell

My club cant afford to treat its members like campaigners.

Than ever? Who said that? Will it be a worse place than it is now? It may well be.

He wants to withdraw from NAFTA, the TPP, and cut funding the the EU.

Having said that, reading through some of his policies for his first 100 days.. do the Republicans know they've elected a Democrat?

 

[WealstoneRaider]

Yeah Trump's a democrat - how they've been fooled

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Blimey, I must be the only on here that's not dripping with pessimism. Actually shocked with how pessimistic go you pups is.

I guess, growing up a Cats fan I've never had a reason for pessimism to be the fall back position.

Lol oh dear.

The real danger is now east Europe. Putin probably got a free reign to expand Russia into another Soviet Empire. The Balkans likely to go first and then Ukraine. What will NATO do without the support of the US? That's going to be the first major flashpoint
