You will have to excuse my very strong opinion on the matter. I can not change my feeling on it and for that reason you can damn well expect me never to be on a jury for this type of crime. I grew up in a military family. I have friends and family overseas that will have deal with the direct fallout of this and I do expect it to not only make their job more difficult but has even put them at even more risk. I do not expect them to pick and choose what laws to follow and what not to. On the other hand I do not believe he is being treated differently then anyone else in the prison. With the amount of press that is on this case I do not believe that he is being treated wrongly and that most of what has been said is bullshit in an attempt at sympathy.
I also find it insulting that a Russian Propaganda group is being treated as news. A year ago I had never even heard of Russian Times but now when ever I do its some BS negative story on the U.S. or the EU. Everyone is giving the U.S. Crap in treating of one person but Not one thing is ever said about the thousands in prison in Russia, China, Argentina, Turkey, Syria, Yemen, Uzbekistan, Myanmar, Laos, Malaysia, the list goes on and on and on. People keep saying Innocent until proven guilty for Manning but condemn the U.S. on Hearsay.
Sorry the BS meter is off the scale on this.

Good thing he's not in Russia. If he had been RT would of never said a damn thing and he never would of been heard from again. As for his treatment, sorry he is a traitor to his country. He is not a hero, He is not an activist. He was a solder who took an oath that he betrayed. He should be spending the rest of his life behind bars. He has put people at great risk that may even get someone killed. It does not matter if names were removed. With enough information people can connect the dots and figure out who or what happened.

I won't argue the point of traitor versus not, or the arguments others have made about 'innocent until proven guilty.' That argument falls short with my bullshit radar, just like yours-- BUT, technically, many dumbass conservative voters, and liberal voters, and elected officals betray America every day by assulating and ignoring the constitution. Take the War Powers act? Wtf? Gitmo? Since when the fuck did the Founding Fathers write that the constitution applies only to citizens? Did the fathers put that in there? Fuck no. And did it exclude actions across the seas? Fuck no again. And because the constitution is a form of law for government, if something is not written, it does not apply.
So, the constitution applies to everyone. I assume so, since the Fathers were not retards and just forgot...
Futher--Manning will go to jail for life. Question is if you think this General who is okaying cruel and unusal treatment should join him? And if you argue it is not cruel and unusal, I would like your proof. I assume YOU would have spent years confined inside a box, all alone and naked for years... That would be proof, not speculation, because you can say, "I didn't mind it one bit." Somehow, I doubt you would volunteer though...
The prison itself is violating America's sacred document, and all who accept responsibility over Manning is a traitor... So what is your opinion on this matter? Do you support the constitution--or the rhetoric? Are you pro-freedom? Or pro-hypocrite?
I assume you are pro-freedom. So while you and I think Manning should be in jail for breaking legitament laws within constitutional authority, there are a lot of traitors in this. Of course Asange is protected, among others. Because we can't be cherry picking laws that forged our country's backbone, can we? Am I right?

hahahah, oh lol. Fucking malaysians and their most overbearing dramatization of anything. Their sitcoms are literally 30minutes of crying.

And the Filipino sitcoms...yeeeesh.

Buuut to be fair. The ad should completely pwn in malaysia. Upvote.

The look on Tan's face in the end is priceless!

In many ways, Malaysia is light years ahead of the west in terms of race relations and tolerance.

What Islam Isn't
By Dr. Peter Hammond
FrontPageMagazine.com | Monday, April 21, 2008
The following is adapted from Dr. Peter Hammond's book: Slavery, Terrorism and Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat:

Islam is not a religion nor is it a cult. It is a complete system.

Islam has religious, legal, political, economic and military components. The religious component is a beard for all the other components.

Islamization occurs when there are sufficient Muslims in a country to agitate for their so-called 'religious rights.'

When politically correct and culturally diverse societies agree to 'the reasonable' Muslim demands for their 'religious rights,' they also get the other components under the table. Here's how it works (percentages source CIA: The World Fact Book (2007)).

As long as the Muslim population remains around 1% of any given country they will be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to anyone. In fact, they may be featured in articles and films, stereotyped for their colorful uniqueness:

United States -- Muslim 1.0%
Australia -- Muslim 1.5%
Canada -- Muslim 1.9%
China -- Muslim 1%-2%
Italy -- Muslim 1.5%
Norway -- Muslim 1.8%

At 2% and 3% they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs:

Denmark -- Muslim 2%
Germany -- Muslim 3.7%
United Kingdom -- Muslim 2.7%
Spain -- Muslim 4%
Thailand -- Muslim 4.6%

From 5% on they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population.

They will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature it on their shelves -- along with threats for failure to comply. ( United States ).

France -- Muslim 8%
Philippines -- Muslim 5%
Sweden -- Muslim 5%
Switzerland -- Muslim 4.3%
The Netherlands -- Muslim 5.5%
Trinidad &Tobago -- Muslim 5.8%

At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islam is not to convert the world but to establish Sharia law over the entire world.

When Muslims reach 10% of the population, they will increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions ( Paris --car-burnings). Any non-Muslim action that offends Islam will result in uprisings and threats ( Amsterdam - Mohammed cartoons).

Guyana -- Muslim 10%
India -- Muslim 13.4%
Israel -- Muslim 16%
Kenya -- Muslim 10%
Russia -- Muslim 10-15%

After reaching 20% expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings and church and synagogue burning:
Ethiopia -- Muslim 32.8%

At 40% you will find widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks and ongoing militia warfare:

Bosnia -- Muslim 40%
Chad -- Muslim 53.1%
Lebanon -- Muslim 59.7%

From 60% you may expect unfettered persecution of non-believers and other religions, sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels:

Albania -- Muslim 70%
Malaysia -- Muslim 60.4%
Qatar -- Muslim 77.5%
Sudan -- Muslim 70%

After 80% expect State run ethnic cleansing and genocide:

Bangladesh -- Muslim 83%
Egypt -- Muslim 90%
Gaza -- Muslim 98.7%
Indonesia -- Muslim 86.1%
Iran -- Muslim 98%
Iraq -- Muslim 97%
Jordan -- Muslim 92%
Morocco -- Muslim 98.7%
Pakistan -- Muslim 97%
Palestine -- Muslim 99%
Syria -- Muslim 90%
Tajikistan -- Muslim 90%
Turkey -- Muslim 99.8%
United Arab Emirates -- Muslim 96%

100% will usher in the peace of 'Dar-es-Salaam' -- the Islamic House of Peace -- there's supposed to be peace because everybody is a Muslim:

Afghanistan -- Muslim 100%
Saudi Arabia -- Muslim 100%
Somalia -- Muslim 100%
Yemen -- Muslim 99.9%

Mashiki, what metrics are you using to measure racism? I think your saying one group or another is most racist based on nothing but your feelings and anecdotes is ridiculous. What tangible, measurable results were there from blacks hating blacker people, for example? That's how I determine who is the most racist.

And in the US, whites are able to and do enforce their bigoted sentiment on other groups quite often and quite easily. Look at redlining, the criminal justice system, job discrimination, hate violence, etc. How have american blacks oppressed american whites? Sure, you can dig and find a some very rare cases of individuals doing this, but show me where the average american white man gets the bum deal that the average Zimbabwean white man would get from their black (or latino, or asian) countrymen.

It's not a perfect world for american whites by any means, but I don't know any american white crazy enough to trade places with an american black. Maybe you do, since you think minorities get a "free ride". It-is-to-laugh.

As I said pp, racism is a matter of perspective. The countries I cited are making demonstrable efforts to be egalitarian with respect to ethnicity, just like we in the US are. In Singapore, a chinese was jailed for posting a racist anti-malay website; if america had the same standards, how many would be jailed? In Malaysia, several ethnic and religious groups take part in the government; while Americans have only recently seen their first muslim congressman. South Africa has shown great restraint to the white population there in light of the history of apartheid. Kenya is actively making strides and overtures to its Muslim population and for reconciliation of its various tribal groups; even african whites fled there from Zimbabwe. And finally, like it or not, in 20 years blacks will dominate brasil; the demographic math there is more pronounced than for arabs in Israel. Even now brasilian blacks are fighting discrimination and making measurable gains.

All of these examples still don't help your flimsy racial theory that puts whites as the most angelic beings in the universe. A Singaporean chinese will say the same. A Kenyan black will say the same. A Malay Malaysian will say the same. Any number of ethnic people who dominate their respective countries sing the same tune. Hell, even the arabs in this video would say the same.

But, only a cursory glance at (even recent) history would show that is simply not the case for any of these groups.

I don't think it's worth the effort finding sources and news reports for your longde, but:

Singapore
The Chinese in Singapore are extremely ethnocentric. See the treatment of Indians, Africans and Filipina/o workers that have no legal recourse in this Chinese-centered meritocracy.

Malaysia
You must be joking. It's illegal to change your religion in this country, unless you’re converting to Islam. Ethnic Malays have an easy-going business process while the Chinese are kept down in bureaucracy and the expectation of bribes.

South Africa
Again, are you serious? How about their treatment of "refugees" from Zimbabwe last summer.

Kenya
Now I know you're joking. Kenya, like most of Africa is completely engaged in ethnic squabbles. The Luo people are particularly violent. Cities and slums are frequently broken down into sectors where different ethnic groups live. Sporadic violence is common place and the influx of Sudanese which are left to amass wherever they can find a spot is adding more kindle to the fire. Elections are a particularly dangerous period where candidates are endorsed by riots.

Brazil
If your skin is darker than #999966, expect to paid about half what a paler person makes. In no other country in the Americas is being black such a handicap.

Not even the US does what you described: but here is my list: Singapore, Malaysia, South Africa, Kenya, Brazil, .....

I had a similar experience in Malaysia where I and everyone else got kicked out of a gym because one of the Sultan's sons needed a massage. I'd think America would have more of a resilience against aristocratic tendencies sprouting, and quickly prune them.


Seriously tough - America loves its aristocratic families... if not in politics, then there's the celebrities, and sporting dynasties...

And how the heck WAR on terror is supposed to help this culture of economic prosperity. And ain't Malaysia the best example above India, Thailand, ... of peace and prosperity, a Muslim country.

Happy Memorial day to all, god bless the Marine Corps, in and out as well, hot as Malaysia in SE Texas.....feels great to sweat-much love for getting back to me....have fun all you cats, stay safe, sane, and single-
