What are you even talking about? I don't know how to say it more clearer. Since the beginning aGG has been for corruption in the video-games industry and against creative freedom. What's there not to understand?

I confess, I actually have no clue what you mean. Touché! (no really, how can anyone be for corruption and against creative freedom? that's what aGG is)

Nah, it's more like GG is 2+2=4 and aGG is 2+2=5. But i know it is difficult to comprehend that in a world where nothing is right and there has to be two sides with no truth what so ever.

Germany YES - All hail Germany, who demands austerity from its neighbouring nations when its own post WWII-loans were written off by its creditors - All hail Germany, who declined immigration for 100 000 people from its neighbouring european countries while opening the door to the rest of the world - All hail Germany, who has stagnated the wages of its labor to such a degree that people with jobs have to apply to welfare in order to afford housing and food (see HARTZ IV welfare programs) - All hail Germany, where people are effectively removed from public society when they try to praise their country when it is the only thing left in their lives The land of poets, philosophers and mathematicians is long gone. What is only left is a feeble, desperate grasp onto the waves of materialism and modernity and we are all following them like the good soldiers we are.

The key sentence being: "The minister conceded that he had no firm information on terrorist infiltration of refugees, but said his "gut feeling" told him it was happening." Colour me unimpressed. If ISIS terrorists wanted to get into Europe, they'd simply come by plane, and not in a 9/11 way. There's a enough of them with valid European passports. ISIS themselves claim about 4000 warriors. But no one can truly know since refugees tend to tear their passports at the Serbian/Hungarian border.

Kinda topical (check the date!)

The honor part can be slightly debated. Since the entire point of the article is that stealth games offer an alternate ideal of masculinity to the rather childish image shooters project, I think you seem to be in agreement with the author. Almost. Thief is different as the gameplay requires different MO than Gears of War, but it still trancends to the ideals mentioned in my quote to a certain degree. //EDIT: To clarify, i mean that both thief and regular FPS's seems to reflect the same ideal, even if they manifest themselves in different gameplays.

It's been waaaaaay to long ago since i played any of the Thief-games, but i would say that the portrayal of Garret and how the game is designed it almost fits the definition (strength, courage, mastery, honor) according to the quote below: The honor part can be slightly debated.

Soooo....Germany just closed the border along with Austria. All while the EU now has sanctioned a military operation to track down the smuggler boats in Turkey. What's going on here? Are they literally idiots and did not anticipate this to happen or are we being had as we speak?

Why ask if you've made up your mind already? A wise man never stops questioning, i am not that smart though.

Slavoj Zizek. The moment he whispered into her ear "My schlong is social construct" she was already gone and gave up her agency completely. Being an independent male, I would guess. Nonsense, they are a social construct made by the patriarchy council, who gathers in the woodshed behind the bar every thursday at 8 PM. Worlds have burned thanks to their influence.

What's masculine?

A whole lot of people are voicing their support for Sarah "i like to **** dogs and children" Nyberg http://www.breitbart.com/big-journalism/2015/09/12/meet-the-progressives-defending-gamergate-critic-sarah-nyberg/ While it sounds completely incomprehensive at first, but then we have to remember that supporters such as Polygon's Tuariq Moosa are advocating necrophilia: http://bigthink.com/think-tank/is-necrophilia-wrong

The was also trolling on reddit as nazi called "European88" all while helping the Jihadists with another account. He also admitted being the guy that altered Ben Garrison's libertanian comics into anti-semite, racists ones instead. So much that Garrison went to 8chan and asked them for help to track the guy down. So this Goldberg fella is pretty much all the prejudices combined on what /pol/ has about jews. The thread about him is a sticky to one's surprise.

Is this news footage a joke? Front National being literal neo-nazis? I can't tell anymoe...

Iran seems to be eager to join the fun: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-09-10/major-humiliation-obama-iran-has-sent-soldiers-support-russian-troops-syria This of course means more war and more refugees knocking on EU's door. God-****ing-dammit.

Might as well form a Crusade and pacify the region with fire. Nah, the wall is better. Maybe they will all turn into hippies whose favourite discussion is "what makes one Iraqi? What is Kuwaitiness?" and with such clever retorts such as "There no such thing as a Iranian, we're are all a nation of immigrants, anything Iranian is just some old barbarism" all while the local artist is celebrated for being so brave and insightful for his latest creation "urine-Mohammed", which is a quite large step to take from "****-Aisha". One of the first things that they will do is to make sure that all european immigrants feel welcome by banning the flag from schools, supress the celebration of the ramadan and label the opposition of such as ignorant racists that do not understand how europeans actually enrich the local culture. Pay-back is a bitch, mother-****er.

Just build a wall around the whole middle east and cut all contacts and funding for 20-30 years. Whatever comes out of the gates at that time has got to be something more reasonable than what we have now.

A fair point, but also too dramatic with the spilling over of course, especially seeing as birth rates are dropping across the world. http://www.prb.org/publications/datasheets/2014/2014-world-population-data-sheet/data-sheet.aspx And as you can see, basically we just need to help Africa now with literacy and development now. No need for hyperbole, no need for exaggerations, lets take this discussion at face value - there is no "crisis", but we certainly benefit a lot more by helping nations help themselves. Especially because he's right in the fact that its basically the better offs that leave, which is a huge problem for the country they flee from. Don't mind the gumballs falling all over the place, you only make it a dramatic effect if you wish so. About African refugees, what i don't get is despite less child birth, a significant rise in standard of living, the amount of refugees increase every year. Maybe Ghadaffi was right after all, he was the wall protecting Europe :-/ Back to the refugees in europe, there's been a huge influx of somalis and iraqis at the border between Finland and Sweden in Lapland of all places. Authorities are of course completely confused and do not know what to do with them. So much for those Syrians. Here's a perspective of an ex-pat Syrian: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHFnvFbThDE

Here's a counterpoint:

...As long as they know their place and don't stink up your country with their filth, right? Or am I wrong to think the stance "your freedom to determine your future for yourself extends just as far as I'm comfortable with your presence" sounds somewhat... less lofty than your original statement? That's a pretty big assumption. I mean, you seem to simultaneously hold the opinion that the existence of national and ethnic groups is a factor that reinforces communities, but holds no inherent power and has to be held up artificially by the existence of borders. That strikes me as a really weird position. (And not just because the whole idea of nations as distinct entities is a comparatively modern one, yet people managed to have functioning societies without them for millennia.) As far as I can see, national identity is either a strong enough meme to self-perpetuate even without borders, or it's meaningless in a global society and there's no point in mourning its passing. Again with the assumptions. What do you base this on? I fail to see how that would be a terrible loss. You may want to brush up on your definition of "genocide". Fantastic. If you feel that it is "no terrible loss" if germans or frenchmen would to dissappear, i do not know what to tell you. Do you apply the same level of empathy for Israel, Japan and Tibet perhaps? Or is it just countries within the western civilization? My assumptions about nations, people and borders come from history, literature (the dystopias of Huxley and Orwell and more) and human nature itself. There's always a will to power, to something greater. There's always the next Genghis Khan around the corner waiting to forge his next empire and people willing to follow him. It is the power to wield, use and will to violence. Private companies and nations are no different in how this will is manifested. 1) People always care for their families first, then the community and so on, based on the shared values, religion, social behaviour and morality; a nation is stretching the limit. Case in point: Notice how there has been creation of more states in Europe since 1990 2) If there are no nations with a strong national spirit, their resolve to keep the social fabric together will slowly wither away for each generation until collapse. With such collapse comes chaos and war, that is inevitable. 3) Mass-immigration from countries that do not share the same values as the host nation is a symptom of a weak society to frail to sustain itself. Notice that it is mass-immigration, not immigration itself. Controlled immigration where the majority culture can slowly absolve the new culture is ok. 4) People make culture, it cannot exist by itself. The current cultures and values in europe are the result of hundreds of generations of forefathers living here. It's not a commodity or an attitude. Having destructive policies that are actively undermining that heritage is revolting, especially since it is all in the name of being "progressive". 5) Monopoly of violence either lies with an armed population or a strong army. You can't have neither, because that will be open season for any organised enterprise to march in. 6) If a nation has no control over their own property or laws, it is not a nation, is at best a target demographic of customers. The private companies only act out of self-interest for increased revenue and they will use violence if they can get away with it. People who talk about abolishing borders, disarming the public and welcoming the world into a big orgy of altruism are either cynically plotting to destroy society or are simply naive. They are however in for a very rude awakening when they understand the truth: Pacifism is an ideal, war is a fact. That is the way of men.

Vaclav Klaus, former president and prime minister of the Czech Republic gives a better summary: http://blisty.cz/art/78797.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Václav_Klaus No offense but Vaclav Klaus doesn't even seem to understand the history behind conflicts like Syria ...seriously how can we take what he says as relevant when he wont admit the impact of the Arab Spring? Also I read on that link you posted " His appointment was terminated in September 2014, due to his views on the Ukrainian crisis, his hostility to homosexuality, and support of European far right parties" He doesn't sound very liberal or reasonable We have native populations going down and immigration going up, an unelected commission Brussels that tries to dictate more power to themselves and a global industry reaping the benefits. And now we have illegal settlers running around central europe trying to find which country that gives them most money. It has to be reversed, otherwise another Caesar, Napoleon or Hitler will rise, you can bet on it. It is you, who is fixated on Klaus' level liberalism in this situation, who is unreasonable.

Depends on how you define "benefit", I suppose. I do find it weird that you, a self-proclaimed libertarian, are now worried about the prospect of the erosion of the state. Aren't you supposed to be all about that? ...And this is supposed to be relevant how? You have me confused with someone else. I want as much constitutional freedom at a local level, but at the same time i recognize the right of families, ethnic groups and to extent nations to be allow to exist and determine their future themselves. Removal of borders will destroy everything and will only leave a mono-culture with a few shades of color, aimless consumerists that serve no higher purpose than what materialism can buy. It's the death of the human soul and will bring a total collapse. Call me a Traditionalist with a love for freedom if you wish to label my thinking. The quote is relevant because one of the most influencal people in the european elite dreamed about a world without frenchmen and germans, and in extent, a world without France and Germany. Mass-emigration in times when the native population is dwindling is simply genocide built into the system. See KP's post about the economic aspect of such future.
