GD I don't know what experience you have, but I have a modicum of experience, having interviewed at length three militia members and read reams of their (incredibly tedious) pamphlets and websites.* I don't propose to go hunting through it again for quotes unless I'm getting paid. But they're constantly banging on about the United Nations, the Zionist Occupation Government, and homosexuals in high office. It's part and parceel of the grand conspiracy mentality. The fact that they never meet foriegners or knowingly meet homosexuals isn't an obstacle to this mentality. It's a positive leg up. I accept your point about the political aspirations being non-fascist. but only on the grounds that they are non-collectivist. *Why are extremists incapable of writing properly? If you ever find your hatred of Al Qaeda flagging then just sit down with some of their propaganda for four hours.

You're just describing Laozi.

Hah! I bloody knew it! Vindicated after ten years! *Runs off to tell former colleagues*

I think there's one crawling up your shoulder right now. EDIT: what the hell is the deal with the second puzzle? I've matched a couple of symbol sets. Did I miss some clue in the initial setup?

Cowboy Junkies - Sweet Jane Pretty fine, but not quite as awesome as the live mash the Two Nice Girls did.

Azarkon, I make a definite distinction between right wing politics, and people who teach their kids that Adolph HItler lives in their heart. Incidentally I read that and thought "Aaaw... isn't that cute... HEY! Waitaminute!" GD I think you're being disingenuous about the militias. While they often talk about gun control, my experience with militia members seemed to indicate they were worried about the Federal government because of things like foreigners and homosexuals. There was also the fascist emphasis on masculinity for its own sake, and the drinking of lager . Laozi you make an interesting point about collective action. I'm not going to argue we should go about lynching anybody under any circumstances, but there's a definite tendency to look the other way. I used to live in a fairly well to do area and noticed some kids arsing about with harassing asian stores and nearly walked into a fat kid making a Nazi salute at some black people. I was torn between an instant desire to punch him, and a realisation that he was a total fool and in some ways didn't deserve to get punched (he was also a kid, obviously). Anyway, as well as wanting to be better educated in general it did occur to me that it may be only a matter of time before we see a resurgence in violence from this quarter. Perceived successes of Al Qaeda have made other extremist groups more violent, for example 'animal rights' people.

I'm always surprised by the level of experience and reading on the forum, and it occurred to me that there might be people here with knowledge of neo-fascists. That is white supremacists typically. I don't know much about these people beyond their associates in the militias of the USA. Ring any bells?

Yeah. That would be deus in machina.

*singing* ...Right in der fuhrer's face!!!!!!"

Anne Frank fanfic? You mean like her developing special mutant powers and kicking the nazis?

I despise Harry Potter and everything it represents.

If you do I'd be interested to see how much of Fort Apache they used in Bringing Out the Dead. Meaning no disrespect to the latter.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Police_Tapes Apparently this ground-breaking documentary influenced both Hill Street Blues and the film Fort Apache: the Bronx. The latter being one of my favourite ever films.

I'd rather work on the production team than play the game. Isn't that sad?

There there. It could be half empty of something like bile.

http://www.theonion.com/content/node/38827 Just a thought about how romance should work in game. After getting the girl the character is encouraged to spend skillpoints in areas such as 'sweater and career management'. There should also be subquests such as 'strolling in the park', and 'meeting the parents'.

Good. Like I say, it's nice to have found a common sense of outrage occasionally. Job done.

I agree, kaft. Every time Hollywood gets involved they trample the original creative genius. To borrow your baking metaphor it's like somebody invents a new muffin idea. kunquat and carob or something. And because it's special and tasty it sells well. A big Hollywood bakery turns up with 'specialists' and they decide that what the public really want is a blueberry and chocolate muffin. Then they are annoyed when the public fail to get excited.

Bazookas couldn't even knock out a T-34!

Now THAT is beautiful.

True.
