Highly unusual encounter!!
Tiny, the Malay population in Singapore is very moderate, even secular as they are fully absorbed in the economy success of Singapore.
There are 1.2 million foreign workers in Singapore, mostly in the lower end. Construction, marine & service sectors. US has around 2,000 business entities there. At one time, I have heard of 40,000 thousand Americans in Singapore. Latest statistics not possible, I think it has become an sensitive issue.
Been to Singapore 3 to 5 times the last 3 years, so quite in tune with the local situation. Will be there in 2 weeks on the way to Australia. Mostly from talking to taxi drivers, amongst others. The growing resentment of foreign workers is very serious. At the medium level up, many locals feel they are denied advancement because of expatriates. At the lower end, they are looked down upon, especially the Indians & Bangladeshis. Mainly, because they infringe on the space of the locals. Singapore being such a small place.
The gap between the rich and the rest are growing wider & wider. The economic stress level in Singapore is super high at every level & facet of life.
Nothing wrong with the "the survival of the fittest" model, but if the present government does not counter that with more social benefits, its "corporate" management style is going to be rejected by the people. The last election was an eye opener for the incumbent party, a party that has been in power since independence, in 1965.
The fucker won't give it up
New panel.

[QUOTE=BayBoy;442589]A few days ago the Republican controlled House committee whose job was to find out who was at fault in the Bengazi attack a few years ago finally came to a conclusion: neither the Obama administration NOR Hilary Clinton was at fault in the attack on our embassy. The Republicans spent all this time screaming and hollering about this incident. I guess they'll have to find something to get hyped over.
Maybe the IRS had it out for their right-wing conservative groups and tried to stop them from a tax write-off.[/QUOTE]
Republican Panel said No Cover Up

Where is the Independent or Libertarian Panel report?
You have been brainwashed by Fox's Bullshit and it is just stuck in your mind, it never happened.
[QUOTE=Jackson;442593]The issue is not who is "at fault" for the attacks having occurred.
The issue is the ensuing "[I]it was a spontaneous response to a youtube video[/I]" cover up.
The House is investigating the cover up.
Of course, it all begs the question "If they weren't 'at fault', then what were they covering up?".
The answer: They were covering up the fact that a US Dept of State Diplomatic facility had been attacked and destroyed and that an American ambassador had been killed by Muslim terrorists during a terrorist attack.
Why the cover up? The Obama Administration was actively campaigning on their insistence that Obama had defeated Al-Qaeda and terrorism in general largely due to his incredibility brilliant diplomatic initiatives. An Islamic terror attack at that time would have destroyed the credibility of that narrative and possibly cost Obama the election.
Get it?
Probably not, given the previously muted reaction to MIT professor Jonathan Gruber's public comments and my realization that the members of this forum are apparently indifferent towards elected government officials espousing outright lies to the American people in pursuit of their political agendas.

What is your favorite News Station
Answer Fox.
That is where you get all your [B]bullshit to write your bullshit[/B].
I am not a writer, that is why I let other people; that believe in the same things as I do, say it for me.
Your questions 1-4 you read from the headlines, you did not say them, just repeated them after Fox twists the stories.
I have more in my life to do than write and read all the [B]bullshit[/B] you write; such keeping the List and Maps up to date, so YOU can make more Money.
[QUOTE=Jackson;442595]Okay WT69,
Do you ever have an original thought, or is everything you have to say written by someone else?
Anyway, please identify which of these statements from my post (actually written in my words) qualify as "[I]Fox's Bullshit[/I]":
1. "[I]a US Dept of State Diplomatic facility had been attacked and destroyed[/I]".
2. "[I]an American ambassador had been killed by Muslim terrorists during a terrorist attack.[/I]".
3. "[I]The Obama Administration was actively campaigning on their insistence that Obama had defeated Al-Qaeda[/I]".
4. "[I]An Islamic terror attack at that time would have destroyed the credibility of that narrative and possibly cost Obama the election.[/I]".
So, which of these statements is inaccurate?
Or are you just talking bullshit because you can't argue the facts?
Curious minds want to know.
And please, don't send us yet another link. Take the time to showcase that brilliantly intellectual mind of yours by writing something original.
Thanks,
