Now imagine one that does all of the above! Women would be obsolete! Long live the patriarchy! yeah. well unless you would be immortal, I see that survival of humankind could be in jeopardy Sure the future survival of the species might be at risk but for those of us with robot wives life would be a lot less complicated!

Not sure it would work. Daggerfall doesn't work either. Apparently it won't play nice with Windows 8.1. Morrowind does though.

Now imagine one that does all of the above!

Will we be able to f--k them?

I downloaded Daggerfall from Bethesda's website, reloaded and modded up Morrowind & Oblivion. Now I'm going to play them all back to back all the way through Skyrim. Only this time I'm going with all magic user PCs. I've never used that kind of character in any game so I've never done any of their specific guilds or quests. Hopefully by the time I'm done: 1) DA:I will have all it's DLCs out so I can play that (probably will) 2) Fallout 4 will be out (Possible but unlikely) 3) Elder Scrolls VI will be out (Almost no chance)

I can just see Harrison Ford hunting these things down in a dystopian future city. But the best part is this: Wow, here is this marvel of modern robotics and the first thing they think is "yeah but can you f--k them?" Didn't know there were rednecks in Japan!

One of the unique things about this forum is that it's had a fairly consistent core membership that have been hanging around for a really long time. That really is not the case in any other forum I participate in. Although more and more folks do seem to be disappearing into the cyberspace ether. BTW, welcome back Lady Crimson it's about time you came home.

Ok one last post (I had a lot of catching up to do) this is the actual story: http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/12/12/Christian-Baker-Willing-to-Go-to-Jail-for-Declining-Gay-Wedding-Cake As I've posted before this does not rise near the level "We don't serve your kind here" One thing I noted though, the owner claims he is refusing the service because he is faithfully following Jesus. I can't speak for Jesus but He did tell us to 'Love one another: just as I have loved you". I suspect He would have made the cake. I would have too. Their money is just as green as anyone else's. It's the "comply or go to jail" I have a problem with.

I came for PoE, I stayed to post pictures of women and troll the off-topic. Heck I came here for KOTOR2 and never left.

When you run a business, you are subject to non-discrimination laws. Religious organizations can get around this, but I fail to see how a for profit business deserves a free pass here. Would it be fair for your local bar to only serve white people? Like I said to Bruce, he did not kick them out of his shop and he did not refuse to serve them. He refused a specific request based on his religious principles. If a Kosher butcher shop refused to sell you pork chops would you sue them or just go somewhere else?

Would it be fair for your local bar to only serve white people? This is really the point GD, substitute the word gay for African American and ask how you or society would feel about a bakery not making cakes for an African American couple ? Bigotry is bigotry and it doesn't matter how you try to sugar coat it That is apples and oranges on this particular case. He didn't kick them out of his store, he didn't refuse to sell them a dozen doughnuts. They asked for a specific thing he did not feel comfortable supplying

Bruce, I doubt this is a progressive victory so much as a libertarian one. I don't pretend to know the minds of the voters or legislature of Kansas and South Carolina but those are states where the Progressive idea of there being no such thing as right or wrong really wouldn't fly. But I think people are coming to see that it is not necessary to approve of gay marriage to realize it's wrong to oppose it. As you know I am a supporter of the right but personally I do not approve of it. I don't disapprove of it either. My personal attitude towards the idea is one of complete indifference. I don't think I'd ever attend or participate in one in any way. I firmly believe though that if two free and consenting adults wish to get married no one has the right to tell them no. If someone has a moral objection to it, fine and good but your morality ends at you, you don't get to impose it on others. What I’m seeing now is something insidious following this though. A number of businesses, one bakery in particular has refused to make a cake for a gay couple. They are now facing lawsuits and criminal prosecution. Just as no one should be able to stop a gay couple from getting married, no one should be compelled to participate in it either. That is the difference between progressivism and libertarianism

Just saw the Trailer... LOVED it. This game looks beautiful. I knew the Infinity still had some life in it!

Very obscure reference there Mal It is the first thing that comes to mind when I think of Montana. Try some of this stuff: http://www.blackdogales.com/ It will give you something to remember Montana for!

there's a difference between hardworking and ambitious though. I agree that someone who works his ass off builds a business etc should have a higher standard of living than a burger flipper, but someone who works his ass off as a burger flipper shouldn't have to live in poverty. I'm not saying the burger flipper doesn't work hard. But people should be paid based on the value of their labor. The value of a burger flipper is X, the value of an RF Engineer is Y. If Y is more appealing then stop doing a job that pays X and do what is required to get the job that pays Y. I am the living proof that any fool can do it of they want to. The burger flipper should not expect the government to apologize to him for his lack of motivation to improve himself by forcing his employer to pay him more than the value of his service is worth. I used to cut grass at a horse farm in Florida. I didn't want to do that my whole life so I joined the military, went to college and got better paying jobs. Anyone can do it. Heck we have free adult vocational education programs here in Tennessee. If the burger flipper is tired of earning X maybe he should check those out.

You can't see it Nep but I'm drinking a toast to you right now. And it's the good stuff too! Congrats!

Right, we might as well just vote for parties instead of individuals since it seems like that's what most people do anyway The problem would not be as bad if the political parties did not ruthlessly punish politicians who break with the party line. If you go against party leadership too often, no matter how right you might be or how much you constituency wants you to you will find yourself facing a well financed and leadership endorsed primary challenger.

One of the biggest problems with communisim is that it discourages achivement. I paid my own way through college, started four businesses one of which became successful. I've made a nice living for myself and worked very hard to do it. Why shouldn't I have a better standard of living as a reward for that? Would I have done all that if at the end of the day I have the same quality of life as the guy flipping burgers?

I've never really seen how the diminishing or increasing numbers of any enthnic group diminishes the power of any other. At least withing the context of the US. No ethnic group is completely monolithic in it's voting habits. Black voters do ten to be more democrat than republican but this is less so now than a few years ago. And some time back they were largely republican. It is folly to try to pigeon hole hispanic voters into any category because that group is really hundreds of groups that have little in common with each other becase their family histories come from so many different places. People of Cuban, Mexican, an Puerto Rican descent for example might have a common language in their family history but the cultures and values they came from are so different it makes no sense to lump them together

Happy Birthday Skyrim. You are 3 years old today and still awsome.

The US Democrat Party today is a long way from the one you grew up knowing Keyrock. If JFK were around today they wouldn't even have him, let alone nominate him for President. They are very much advocates of aggressive and heavy handed government. They have no respect for individual rights and often regard people who actually have a different political view as enemies to be suppressed. Does that fact that during Obama's admin, and even during Clinton's to a lesser extent the IRS has become "weaponized" to act as the lefts private thought police even surprise you? Does the fact that they have ruthlessly harassed PAC groups that even sounded like they might oppose the President surprise you. Does the idea that the administration considered using military force against American citizens in a local land dispute over grazing fees surprise you? Does the idea that they believe it is perfectly ok for the federal government to compel everyone to enter into a contract with a third party of their choosing surprise you? They are in favor of warrantless spying on our own citizens, invading our homes and seizing private property, secretive courts, secretive legislature sessions, using the courts to subpoena the sermons of pastors in church because they don't like what the pastors said. Does it surprise you that we even had to have a debate over whether it is ok for the US President to order the summary execution of a US Citizen using a drone? All of this was done by democrats in power. Much but not all of it was from the current administration. Don't get me wrong, I hate the US Republican Party. They are hypocritical, not at all ashamed to use the government stick when it suits them while talking about reducing government. They are a fractious and contentious alliance of three political factions that cannot co-exist but somehow do. But the truth is they are such a lesser evil that the alternative. The more the left takes over the US Democrat party the more they become a threat to life, limb and liberty. They are not all bad. Far from it. But I'd never cast a vote for even one of them because even the good and contentious Democrats empower a political philosophy that is so opposed to everything that I and people like me value it would not be a stretch to call it evil.

Semper Fi my Brothers!

Oh I'd love to buy a ticket to that one! They should put that on TV, like on Jerry Springer or something
