Macron v Le Pen

This should be an interesting indication as to whether the world is gravitating towards a sharply nationalist agenda or simply rejecting the political status quo.... Particularity given the recent attacks in France

Or sick of being raped and killed by immigrated religious zealots, I don't know

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

well that's essentially the first part of my point, refer "gravitating towards a sharply nationalist agenda"

Considering this is a country that's had it's fair share of terror related incidents in the last year or so, it would stand to reason that nationalism could be viewed in a more positive light by those directly or indirectly affected.

I don't think you have to be nationalist to fear the ramifications of open border immigration from war-torn countries, even if that is traditionally a trait of nationalism; Le Pen like our Hanson could be seen as the lesser of two evils..."I don't like xenophobes and racists, but terrorists are much worse"

so speaking to someone i know who is a JP at Springvale police station... older Vietnamese man comes in and says his car has been stolen. apparently was in a minor accident, guy who he hit (not sure who was at fault) said they had no insurance but will take the car to a panel beater and get it repaired. So the man handed over his keys and the guy drove off in it never to be seen again.

It's easy to get on the *facepalm* train with this one, but man, I felt really sorry for the dude. Super friendly old man, who isnt used to dealing with the scum we come across and witness every day, and he gets reamed thinking someone was doing something out of kindness. f**k this gay earth. and the dude is probably too honest to lie about the situation to the insurance company.

f**king swindling scumbags.

fine... make it "gravitate towards political parties that use nationalism as a core theme of their political rhetoric"

But then he gets to keep the thief's car...sounds like a fair trade to me.

I like how Dell can mark-up their laptops by $1000 just because theyre in the "business" section of the website. I can seriously buy an Asus or Gigabyte laptop with better specs in every department, or a "home" Dell with the same spec for half the price. But it would be an "Inspiron" then not a "Latitude" model. bah Latitude has been using the same architecture for like 10 years.

To be fair, last thread had real estate, unions and Captain Will as topics

Think Rimon may have even been in there

Business laptops have additional features such as docking capabilities etc. (nohomo)

Just quietly...if you came into my interview with an Inspiron I wouldn't hire you no matter the specs...
