certainly I agree with what you said about victims and perpetrators. at times violent and sudden death seems fully deserved. Still if everybody meted own justice we would have an anarchy. Certainly Ceausescus deserved their fate and worked overtime to earn it, still posting pics of their final moments above is poor taste. In 1984 I was there and it was first and only time in my life when I was really hungry. At end of day we entered village , shop was opened and there was NOTHING there which cold be bought and eaten, not even single crumb of bread or piece of parsley. That was result of lunatic policy to pay off foreign debt at any cost and as fast as possible. But even with their atrocious rule, few years later their graves seemed to be well tended and attended so as always they were those who missed them. As for Honecker and non understanding to let him away , I have the same feeling about Kissinger who were celebrity till his death at 100 instead of dangling on some gallows decades earlier. One more point to allow everybody accused due process.

it did not work for Indira Gandhi

she is a daughter of another era approaching 70 now . Mind you outdated = not valid ANY LONGER so I don't think she made a story

three - and Latakia naval base. there's also 4th component we people of the global North seem to omit , certainly misunderstand and underestimate - islamic fanaticism of Middle East. Part of hate toward Asads was because they were Alevites , considered heretics within heretics by Sunni majority. all Syria tragedy for me boils down to fact that some leaders don't know when to step down thinking they are impossible to substitute nation saviours. Then suddenly they are refugees if not worse and their graves are burned to the ground. Balding leader of certain country between Norway and Alaska should consider

I get it very well. My Argentinian neighbour explained to me difference in social status of both group of fans. Her family was River Plata and almost disown her when she started dating Boca Juniors fan

and rich

no wonder they dance so energetically. I'm curios who 4th guy was

it should as it levels playing field between jurisdictions. I know you don't like it as retirees are collateral damage but in my opinion seniors should sacrifice for common good too. They have it good already , look at difference of admission ticket to Mahanakhon for seniors ( 350 ) and mere mortals ( 1080 )

Charoen Krung , soi 49 map above is very accurate. take taxi or motorsai or you can walk about 10 mins from Saphan Taksin BTS. If you adventurous you can take some Silom buses going toward the river. once at boy's suggestion we walked there all the way from Raya, about 30 mins. He was exhausted, I was not

I got it , just of curiosity , you are River Plata or Boca Juniors fan ?

that is part I can agree although we still don't know. Perhaps we should archive it and return to discussion in 3 years as it's well known that predicting , specially predicting future is very difficult and fraught with perils. But yes , it's quite possible that in time Syria or world or both will miss " relatively benevolent " Asad's regime as we may be saying. But that is not a reason not to be happy NOW that one butcher of own nation is gone. Perhpas it would be good if world powers will keep away from there for a while when Syrians sort their issues themselves. We know only what we are shown. as for AI sourcing news you cited above, if you ask AI for samples of most handsome guys in Syria in the buff , no doubt it will produce some. So not that is not source we can relay on as , to his peril , certain insurance executive in USA learned recently.

well, you still don't get it. To put it in plain language, if somebody farts in Britain, it's just fart , not British fart

no wonder as you are from Latin America . Your version of American supported feudalo-capitalism did not much to lift societies from poverty and still present racism and classism. Poor masses are still relatively as poor as they were 100 years ago an governments are still white , even in countries with majority of indigenous population and big portion of population black. Communism for all it's faults at least attempted and succeed to a significant degree to lift people from subsistence farming to more productive industrial jobs and did it in quite short period of time it can't be denied. Cubans are light years behind Americans but when they look to Haiti , likely they feel much better

doesn't make it better taste just because it started in Britain, specially by The Sun which is many things but not paragon of taste for all I know. Month ago I attended friend's funeral. There are pictures from the wake and funeral itself which somebody could post with tittle " Jack's widow and sons are celebrating with vinapu his untimely death" as inevitably we were recalling joyous moments of his life , not to mention , as always on such occasions , we reunited with many friends not seen for long time. Our pics with smiles are real but interpretation that way is poor taste and indeed, propaganda.

fully agree and among my family and friends I'm known as a guy who always claims that ' communism one day will return with vengeance and I'm glad I'm old enough not to see it " . Problem will start when those rich enough to buy a planet will start building their own armies putting in question state's exclusivity on power. Musk's 400 billion net worth or anybody else's for that matter is impressive but it doesn't mean they can cash all that in. You house may be worth million but if all neighbours on the street with similar houses list them all at once , all of you may be happy if you get 600 000 . Asad's supposed 2 billions did not help him much and now we will see how much Moses and Putin will charge him for hospitality

I agree that offer is generous for most boys. Sure there always will be ones who will make more a month but even some of them may opt for steady , even if lower income for reason you very well explained in second part. As always in business both sides need to assess if deal is good value for them. Unfortunately in that line of work they not only 'endure' but sometimes really need to endure clients they rather don't go with. I once asked guy of quite substantial built whether he ever encountered violent client and he confirmed.

that may mean one of two things , either he thought " sure it's obvious" or " sure , how you will know if you will be away ? " . Not trying to be sarcastic but over the years people on forums reported both kinds of behavior. I also met at least once of both kinds : ' no , I don't go with customer, boyfriend told me not to " but also " I will come to your hotel after shop closes , I don't want them to tell my friend I went with customer ". That brings to life another question to members - would you off boy who would tell you he has a boyfriend and he need to keep his endeavour with you secret ? My answer - yes, unless I know that boyfriend, than no. Reason being , boy knows better how to conduct his business and why I should be loyal to somebody I don't know ?

not only compassion but better understanding as not everything can be just standardized to algorithm . I already commented that we humans are blindly rushing to new technologies without fully realizing what it means to us . Hope that case is wake up call. We are spied everywhere , now machine is supposed to decide if we will live or die ?

that would be me. Although I don't condemn Luigi as much as wonder if he were more like Hunchback of Notre Dame , it were the same level of compassion for him. It's sign of times that alleged killers are celebrities as long as they have good looks, big bulge or tits? .................. Sadly , 2nd part of your statement is universal truth , on both personal level ant that of wider society. Often somebody needs to die by whatever means for other to feel relief and betterment, be it abused wife or abused society at large. Still , like events in Easter Europe in 1989 - 1992 ( bar Romania ) teach us that great changes may come through peaceful means, not by killing each other. Otherwise where we stop ? My niece is looking for gun because on Wednesday she was late for coveted job interview due to train delay.

poor taste ?

it's jet lag, in few days you will feel better

poor taste but perfect example of how Russian propaganda works

I'm sure that great consolation for Mr. Navalny's widow. Russia was portraited as workers paradise , now it look is inmates paradise as well.

some people in the audience looks quite nice too

medium size there I always do too
