    Listen. You stop. Because i will say whatever I want here. I never said I know more than those people and I wish we had members who knew more.

    Now leave me alone or I will block you. I don’t have patience for stupid people.

    So *I* am stupid? People are dying, people are scared, people are hiding in their basements - these are the facts - and yet you choose to flaunt your ignorance just because you want to be "not like the other girls". This is war, not a thread about Kylie Minogue or Madonna's Instagram. You can't "choose" to support the wrong side.

    And by the way, there ARE users here living in Russia and Ukraine, but if you were the kind of expert you pretend to be, you'd know that they aren't going to shout about it. If you don't know why, you truly don't know shit.

    And you can block me all you want - you've been insensitive, aggressive and outright racist before and you said you were apologetic about it, but like so many people these days, you don't actually practice what you preach.

    Oh, and thank God for people like @elijahand @Jazzy Jan , actual voices of reason.

     You didn’t understand what I wrote. If I speak about this is because for years part of my job was international news and I did like three long reports on Ukraine speaking with Ukrainian people. That doesn’t mean I know more but that does allow me to have a different point of view and to have a critical mind about western media.

    It's not about having a different point of view. People who live in the region / spend a lot of their time here have the upper hand here. Please stop.

  3. I'm half-black (but not American, so I hope @IsaacHarrisand @erotica blu can and will correct me), but I don't see what the deal is. The tone of the movie is racist, but then again, so is the story it is trying to tell (and if we think of how racist the movie industry was in the 30's, it only makes things worse). Should all movies about Nazi Germany be banned because it was a horrible time for humanity?

    This is my opinion only, but whenever I hear that so and so was, well, problematic (say, Dietrich and some of the things she's said in private), I try to remember that the time was totally different back then and concentrate on all the progressive or positive things they've done. A lot of people are ignorant but that's because they haven't had a chance to learn about certain things, not because they're evil. Ignorance is certainly better than fake virtue to me. Maybe that's just me.

  4. What country has had the longest quarantine period so far? I was in Russia for work when things started getting serious and so far, the quarantine which started March 30 (March 23 for some people) hasn't been lifted, with the government intending to take some measures in June or maybe July. We're talking about the kind of quarantine where people can't go out for a walk, and older people will probably have to stay at home until the vaccine is found (no kidding). It's nearly impossible to apply for financial help, lots of smaller companies and businesses are no more, people getting robbed in the streets for food (!!). Meanwhile, according to the government, there have been 155k cases of COVID-19, while the number of deaths is SUSPICIOUSLY around 1.5k only (I know right).

    Are you having some problems? Your post is so crazy and absurd that I can't even get angry. I'm sincerely worried about you. 

    LMAO. You're posting unnecessary xenophobic comments in a thread that has nothing to do with them, trying to school me on my own culture, then saying you don't give a damn if your xenophobia offends anyone... and apparently, *I* am the one who's acting absurd?! 😂 Well, at least now that I know you do mean these terrible things you say, nothing more for me to add.

    Well, if you live there you'll know how discipline is part of the culture and it's far easier to tell the population what to do. 

    Get offended if you want. I couldn't give a damn.

    Well, of course. Saying ignorant shit (like that time you applauded that racist teacher calling black kids "dumb N*****s" for misbehaving during class) and never having the courage to admit it was, indeed, ignorant or stupid is no surprise when it comes to you.

    Meh

    Read a bit about working conditions and holidays there, and the building of their good economy after the war and maybe you'll understand what I mean. 

     

    I don't have to "read a bit" about anything, I live and work "there" because, you know, I am actually 1/4 Korean and I am actively contributing to "their good economy". Don't patronize me or, in fact, the culture you clearly don't know much about and judging by your own standards, that's all I'm gonna say.

    Also, there's good and bad everywhere, I'm sure I could bring up a stereotype or two about Spain or Bulgaria or wherever; not sure why you're doing that here though. In a horrible situation like this, both the government and the people can only be commended for being disciplined, getting tested, staying at home like most of my friends and colleagues and not putting anyone's health at risk. Being "enslaved" etc. has fuck all to do with what is being discussed in this thread.

  9. Lots of "charming" stereotypes about Asian people thrown around in this thread. Yes, shame on Koreans for being a disciplined nation or having to work hard for their money. What can I say, we all can't live in your Mediterranean paradise, sorry about that.

    Are poor countries the ones running huge conglomerates that are ruining the environment...? lol Your logic makes no sense.

    Um, in her original speech she was asking whole countries to change their ways, not just conglomerates. Among them, Brazil and China. And besides, if you know anything about, say, China, you will understand that such conglomerates created jobs and literally saved billions of people from poverty. People that are hungry NOW, not poor Greta living in an actual socialist country with a pretty great ecological situation still who's worried about her FUTURE. If these conglomerates shut down their factories tomorrow, what will our Greta do to save these children and their families?

    My main problem with this sutuation is that the forces behind Greta made it all very personal (for impact, obviously). The problem is, the center piece here is a girl from one of the richest countries of the world complaining about "her stolen childhood" and preaching about the very real and very important things in a very hamfisted and sensationalist manner; things she didn't really experience (or not to the extent that a child living next to a toxuc dump waste in Cambodia might experience). It's all very Lady Gaga to me; sad to see that the same kind of approach is now being applied to such important things as the climate change.

    With that being said, adults attacking a kid on social media is in extremely poor taste.

  11. I like how he's supposed to be this HUGE MADONNA FAN yet he's been trashing her for years... even his COADF review (you know, the album when he was still loving her, supposedly) starts with him saying, 'I don't like Madonna'. Oh well, there was a time here when people like Gimmesomemo weren't supposed to be questioned despite their endless negativity. I've heard it all before.

    EDIT : same people defending his 'right to be dissapointed' as well. Some things never change.

    Isn't it strange while M mentioned Swae Lee all the time but he NEVER post about Crave? he's totally the opposite of Maluma who seemed genuinely care and happy can collaborate with M🤔

    Swae said that M was a dream collabo back in 2015, when Rae Sremmurd only started making waves. He loves her.

  13. OK I'm not usually like this but the video made me tear up a little. This is a truly outstanding song that proves once again that no one can emote quite like M. Swae is a fantastic addition to the song, he really brings out the melancholy Madonna is so good at.

    All I want is for her to go on and on. I don't think the world will ever know just how special she is.

  14. OK, maybe I'm stupid, but she never sounds bad to me. Even this TPOG video which I've never seen before, you can see she's struggling a bit, but hey, I appreciate the effort and it still doesn't sound *bad* to me. I'll take this vocal over something technically perfect but souless any day.
