" Generational Dynamics also predicts that there are no solutions to these problems except another world war." I've been thinking this for years even before I began reading GD.com, my worry is that my generation simply won't be up for the task. At least the GG Had an economic depression to toughen t...

Re: 8-Jul-16 World View -- Hard issues prevent full reconciliation between Turkey and Russia
Not to mention the history, both distant and recent, of the treatment of the Turkic speaking ethnic Tatars under both the Russian empire, the ussr, and now the Russian federation. This is still a fairly hot button issue in Turkey, that has flared up once again since the anschluss in Crimea. Another ...

Re: 6-Jul-16 World View -- Attack on Islam's holy site in Medina caps end-of-Ramadan jihadist carnag
These barbarians are practising a well established strain of Islam; wahabism/salafism, based on a purely literal interpretation of the Quran and Hadith. The salafis see themselves as religious reformers fighting secular Muslims and other "unbelievers" who refuse to submit to a literal interpretation...

Re: 1-Jul-16 World View -- Zimbabwe, Venezuela, Puerto Rico - three amigos in Marxist economic destruction
It really is a crime what the socialists have done to Venezuela, could be among the wealthiest countries in the world with its energy resources. The current state of poverty and misery is complete unnecessary. I'm afraid even if poor landlocked Zimbabwe were to institute nominal economic reforms the...

Re: 29-Jun-16 World View -- Bombing of Turkey's airport affects a swirl of diplomatic actions / Mutual UK-EU loathing
Whether or not brexit triggers a financial crisis is like asking if this is the straw that breaks the camels back. The straw is hardly to blame as the cause of the crisis. Equity markets are monstrously overvalued and have been for years, propped up only by cheap money and QE. The markets should hav...

Re: 26-Jun-16 World View -- Britain's Millennials are furious at Boomers for Brexit vote / China - Taiwan
Why is xenophobia bad ?? Are xenophobes criminals of some kind ? No, not criminals, arseholes perhaps. However you should probably have more cogent and specific reason for not liking an individual other than just "you're foreign". If I call you an arse, I can assure you it has nothing to do with yo...

Re: 26-Jun-16 World View -- Britain's Millennials are furious at Boomers for Brexit vote / China - Taiwan
Also worth noting that the furious millenials who so overwhelmingly care about and support the EU actually cared enough to wake up on a Saturday morning, put their phones down for a moment, and vote to the tune of around 36 percent total turnout for 18-24yo...Lol On a related note has anyone caught ...

Re: 26-Jun-16 World View -- Britain's Millennials are furious at Boomers for Brexit vote / China - Taiwan
Millennials are mad because they get one less layer of government to hand them free goodies at the forced expense of others, and one less opportunity to get a career in paper pushing, complete with gold plated public pension. Let's face it, there's not many job openings for gender studies majors the...
