  1. LOL!! Dude...don't get your panties in a twist. Heck, I wasn't even talking to you.
  2. Like you, I came into this thread late and have read all the posts. But I figured out real quick...actually by reading the first post...what it's all about: The OP wants to whine and cry. Plain and simple. It's pretty much all a bunch of :BS:
  3. The town sounds a lot like Boulder Colorado. An RLC house just might have a chance...maybe.
  4. Another result of the refugee influx into the EU: And here, we have the poor immigrants actually refusing a country that'll take them in...
  5. I don't own any Samsung devices, so I cannot speak directly to them. For Android, I have the following: I have an underpowered LG phone that I don't do much with except make the occasional phone call or FB Messenger text. I also have an EVGA Tegra Note 7 tablet that I do a lot of stuff with. On both devices, I've taken the same steps to deal with Flash: I downloaded the latest Flash drivers, which are very old...and I use the Dolphin Browser along with the Dolphin Jetpack addon. The problem with the old, now-unsupported Flash drivers is that they won't work with any Android version newer than 4.1...which is what my phone uses. For anything greater than 4.1, you have to go another route, which means a browser with Flash built in. The browsers mentioned by other members are all good, but they can have problems depending on your device. Here is a link that talks about them: https://www.androidpit.com/how-to-install-flash-player-on-android The comments in that article might provide more help. Another alternative is to get a cheap Windows tablet. I have an HP Stream 7 that I've upgraded to Win10. Flash is still supported for Windows and it works great on that device.
  6. The blog you cited gives no links to supporting data. That, alone, casts doubt on the reliability and accuracy of the events described. But what REALLY makes me tend to dismiss the whole article is the contention that "all the 27 members of the crew filed a letter of resignation". 1. Officers might be able to submit letters of resignation...depending if they have fulfilled their initial obligation to the Navy, but Chief Petty Officers and enlisted crew members cannot. The Petty Officers, if they have more than 20 years in service can request retirement. Enlisted crew are serving under their enlistment contract and have no ability to resign, though they may ask to be released from their contract. Such a request is unlikely to be granted by the Navy, however. 2. According to publicly available information, the USS Donald Cook has a crew of 23 Officers, 24 Chief Petty Officers and 291 Enlisted. Far more than the 27 crew members cited in that blog. http://www.public.navy.mil/surflant/ddg75/Pages/ShipCharacteristics.aspx 3. I've been in the Army and I cannot believe that a complete unit would abandon their mission...their Service...and their country. Not under ANY circumstances. The Navy is no different. So...regardless the conspiracy theories, there is, as far as that blog is concerned, no support for what it says...except that the ship was buzzed by Russian aircraft around the date cited. Frankly, I find the whole story to be so lacking in credibility that it's not even worth my time to consider it. But hey...as long as we are wearing our tinfoil hats, we should also consider the possibility that the USS Donald Cook purposely placed itself in that position...ie, a lone ship in possibly hostile waters...so that it could gain data on current Russian jamming technology. If so, you can be sure the Navy is developing protection against such technology.
  7. 1. The first thing you need to do is define what you think is "the type of tenants that most of CC seem to want". I'm not sure RLC actually DOES acquire the kind of people you might be talking about and I'm not sure RLC even cares what kind of people you think CC seems to want. 2. The second thing is...unless someone has gotten their hands on an RLC contract, I don't think anyone really knows WHAT RLC is giving tenants as compensation. However, it is possible to speculate and I suppose there has been a lot of speculation here on CC over the years. It's probably pretty safe to say that rent and utilities is the basis of the offered package. I think some amount of cash might be in the mix as well...but that's just a guess. 3. As to what makes people want to be a tenant, the reasons are probably as varied and individual as the number of tenants themselves. The reasons you suggest could all be valid for some tenants and not for others. My opinion is the base reason is monetary.
  8. People having a fight??? Dude...this is people running each other over with cars!! But tell me, would this have happened in Switzerland if those people had not immigrated to the EU? LOL!! This kind of snide remark is a failed tactic...but, of course, it's pretty much all you have. Oh...I'm sure these videos I've been posting are very unhelpful to your position that there is nothing wrong with the influx of immigrants into the EU. Isn't that too bad for you? But yeah...you should be sensing a pattern. The pattern that indicates that the EU is experiencing disruption to their peaceful life that will only get worse. Ozi's advice? Honestly, I haven't read any of his posts beyond a cursory skim, so you'll have to tell me what his advice has been. I've already move on from your refusal to dispute my initial post in this thread...or to point out where you have disputed my post. Why do you keep bringing it up if you aren't going to deal with it?
  9. Switzerland, it appears, is not immune to the effects of the Muslim influx into the EU.
  10. No game...at least, not on my part. But thank you for admitting that you don't want to reference this mythical post of yours...you don't even want to see if it exists. shrug... I gave you a chance...you decline to take it...we are done here. tschüss
  11. Believe me, if I knew I wouldn't ask. If you can't...or won't...take the simple action of directing me to the post you are referencing, then I'll have to agree..."this seems pretty done".
  12. That's better. It would be even better if you explained why you think that way instead of just stating your opinion. Actually, I don't think you have, though if you think you have please provide me with the post number in which you've presented your proof.
  13. Truth?? Ummm...let me clue you in, dude...when I say, "I think", I am expressing an opinion. I normally follow that up with an explanation of what informs my opinion. And that is all I did in that post that you quoted. Now...you are certainly free to disagree with my opinion and my explanation. Frankly, I don't care if you agree or not. But when you assign opinions and attitudes to me that I have not expressed, such as, "You simply don't want different people messing up the status quo." or "you think you're better than them", you are simply lying. If you want to keep doing that, then we have nothing to talk about.
  14. I've known about this place for quite some time, but I don't have a problem with Saudi Arabia's decision to not take in the refugees. Seems to me the Saudis are being pretty smart by keeping millions of people who don't care about their own country from coming in to not care about Saudi Arabia. The EU could probably learn a lesson or two from the Saudis.
  15. In the meantime, American talking heads continue to blather on and on... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kqi3j2bEGes
  16. Q. What will migrants who are fleeing the horrors of war find in the EU? A. The very thing they are fleeing.
  17. More Muslim integration in the EU...this time in France. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOdBLK7A3MM
  18. Of course, the US isn't immune to this same sort of Muslim integration into our society.
  19. Does the EU want more of this? You know...all these Muslims who just want to integrate and become a part of the EU?
  20. I have some questions about the circumstances surrounding this video, but it does illustrate some of the problems the EU is in for if they continue to allow a large influx of refugees. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dOtmQhFb7U
