If I apply for US visa (which I will not, ever!), I have to wait for 3 years and get single entry visa at best which is ridiculous, they also ask for insane amount of info from me!

I think this is mostly for westeners who have the habit of not using names correctly. Some countries already using correct name since the beginning.

the point is, he or his fund can also get cheap loans when rates are historic low by land and win twice by inflation
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

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.

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?
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?
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).
Oh, Saudis are US friends, would love to see human rights watch report on Saudis.

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.

Re:Saudi Arabia, an ISIS That Has Made It on Tuesday November 24, 2015 @04:56PM (#10623860)
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. :)

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.
