Good point. We cant always trust the media

Hawaiians are stucks in the same place also. There is blood quantum but, in reality, in roughly 4 to 5 generations, United States will have successfully killed off all of Hawaiians.

OT: As far as I see it, Filipino politicians lack all kind of skills, especially in diplomacy.

It's a good thing Snoop Dogg doesn't live there.

You must be respectful you son of a whore. Obviously a very self aware dude.

Nice to see this. clears it up

Obama must've laughed when he saw that one. XD

Don't know if it was straight up aimed at Obama, but dude has brought about a lot of concerns with the policies he has brought about. While there may be some good to come out of it, the amount of lives visibly lost or destroyed innocent or guilty of drug dealing/using is why so many other nations are asking him to pump the breaks on rhetoric.

The boasting badass talk doesn't really work on the world stage where you have to bend but not break, unless you are a maverick nation or a near superpower.

He said, "Son of a bitch". Even me being a Filipino that has grown up in the US since the age of 4, can understand that with my limited Tagalog skills.

The thing is, in the Philippines, criminals don't learn. They always get caught again and keep taking up resources in order to enforce them. The country can not spend so much money in fighting crime.

My cousin is of high ranking in the police department in Manila. He tells me stories of crime in the country. How students would get killed for money and criminals getting released after short periods of being detained. They simply don't have room in prison for everyone. They end up having to release some of them. The ones that keep coming back, they end up killing.

Maybe Obama should bring some business there to help the country with poverty. Where there is poverty, there is crime. Help the country, not blast them with how they should run it.

This is actually true, we have almost 700,000 users and pushers who surrendered in the 2 months since this administration began and we don't have enough space on our overcrowded prisons and not enough rehab centers to help them.

So the police is giving them free Zumba lessons in open basketball courts or areas across the country as a temporary measure and hope they don't go back to pushing or doing drugs. :(

This precisely sums up the issues with western democracies. They don't understand what's going on and how bad things are but they like to have a say and make out as if they know better. When they force their way and things turn out worse ( say hello to Iraq & Libya), they point their fingers elsewhere instead of taking responsibility. 

India has been oppressing Sikhs in punjab for decades and is guilty of genocide, but it's been overlooked consistently due to India being an ally. Over 20,000 Sikhs were massacred in 1982 alone. 

Rohingar again is having similar issues with genocide being committed, but not a word has been said.

There is no consistency, there are no principles, there is no good will. It's all politics and power play. We choose who we wish to criminalise and who we wish to put on a pedestal. However, sometimes those who we put on a pedestal are little to no different to those who we criminalise.
