lotux··on Booking.com gives €28m in bonuses to three top execs; Took €65m in State aid

lotux··on Booking.com gives €28m in bonuses to three top execs; Took €65m in State aid
yes, most rich people can get good loans with low rate during this time, as inflation goes up, the value of asset that they bought with loan goes up and debt value goes down, so the get richer twice again that is why for example bill gates became biggest land owner during covid, I guess he bought lots of land with cheap loans

lotux··on Saudi Arabia to execute 52 prisoners, including juveniles, en masse
I bet you don't know much about shia and sunni, essentially there is not much difference, this war is more of interest war than religious war. I would say Syria war is oil/gas pipeline war. and who can have more hegemony over the region when US becomes weaker and less interested in this region's OIL. that's why you see EU countries are much in hurry to get into this conflict, even Germany is in now.
lotux··on Saudi Arabia, an ISIS That Has Made It
Iran calls Afghani,Iraqi and Syrians brothers and sister in distress too. still UNCHR should shows how many are displaced and where moved, regardless of what hosted country is calling them. visit UNCHR, I am wondering why there is no report yet for 2014 and 2015?
lotux··on Saudi Arabia to execute 52 prisoners, including juveniles, en masse
naming is important, specially if you want to associate something with something else, for this case: islam with violent crazy people who kill everyone, so ISIS/ISIL will associate these crazy nuts with Islam. it is like calling Americans, Western Christian Gun Owners or WCGO. do you still think it doesn't matter what do you name it?
lotux··on Saudi Arabia to execute 52 prisoners, including juveniles, en masse
Compare? they are the ISIS, ISIS/ISIL is wrong name, Daesh is proper one, is very funny that John Kerry use Daesh, but Obama and everyone else use ISIS).
lotux··on Saudi Arabia to execute 52 prisoners, including juveniles, en masse
Oh, Saudis are US friends, would love to see human rights watch report on Saudis.
lotux··on Saudi Arabia, an ISIS That Has Made It
good, next time before jumping in and using your gun (banning), try to read (re-read) and understand first as English is not universal mother tongue of everyone (including myself), and I generally follow the rules as they are necessary.
lotux··on Saudi Arabia, an ISIS That Has Made It
FYI, I didn't go to school in Canada, only in Iran.
lotux··on Saudi Arabia, an ISIS That Has Made It
did you see "Properly"? please re-read what I wrote and you quoted, otherwise I "might" think you unintentionally unable to read what I wrote, or unintentionally don't like to understand what I wrote, I don't like sweet talks, I prefer to be concise and direct. you don't know me, so you cannot judge my civility neither I can do yours. and you are not in a position of correcting me or anyone here, but you can express your opinion on someone's opinion and you are just a moderator (I guess), you seems like US government which is trying to "Correct" people who don't know ( by using force ) and have no intention of knowing them, you just use your "Civil Words" and threat of banning rather than trying to understand what I said. ( did I attack you too? I hope not, don't take it personally everyone needs a reminder sometimes, it could be me or you), feel free to ban me if my opinion hurts your level of civility. I have no intention of correcting you or anyone, peoples are uncorrectable until they realize (by education may be or facing the truth/consequences of their actions) themselves that they were wrong, then they might overcome their ignorance and mistakes, and that is very small possibility specially these days. :)
lotux··on Saudi Arabia, an ISIS That Has Made It
I said he cannot read, because he didn't read, I will say it as long as someone reads my writings partially and not complete.I said he was not possibly smart enough as Iran's free university entrance exam was to the most degree IQ test ( at least in my days ) I failed myself for first time. you can go ahead and ban my account now.
lotux··on Saudi Arabia, an ISIS That Has Made It
I didn't attack anyone, I only said you were not possibly smart enough to pass the entrance exam, I didn't pass it either on first attempt, I managed to get into decent school on second try. Azad wasn't very good university at first it was kinda like a high school at the beginning ( my high school use to be Azad branch in after hours !!!) , I have seen it grown since its inception, now is good enough on main branches in big cities, in terms of equipments even with sanctions we had good stuff, for sure not as Ivy league universities in US, but good. yes I am living in Canada, I also lived in 4 other countries and I am still proud of whatever my country provided for me, with education that I had in Iran, and my hard work today I work for one of top 3 software makers in world.I am by no means elite but may be in brain drain stats ;). since you are in US go to any decent US university's engineering department and see how many Iranian educated boys and girls study there, and how many of them actually finished their BS or MSc in Iran. here in Canada/Quebec in one of the universities 70% of Phd students are Iranian (official stat by university itself). they must have had decent education to get accepted for continuing higher education, i guess, what do you think?. for you information my wife also study Phd in McGill, she finished her Msc and BS in Iran. education in Iran is way more decent than many other countries and is cheap or free. today they don't have a big competition to get into universities as there many more seats available.we don't have terrible society we only have terrible individuals which could possibly include myself too. so let's fix ourselves first.
lotux··on Saudi Arabia, an ISIS That Has Made It
I will leave at here, I didn't call you dumb, you just may be didn't think enough, I looked at your submissions, it seems you are smart enough and had decent education ( i guess in iran ) :)
