Should the EU become the United States of Europe? What do you think?
Ben No.3 replied to Ben No.3's topic in Way Off-Topic
Arguably I would say that in EU more people speak German than English. By percent? Not sure.... Don't think so -
I think monks, ciphers and rouges get the best steadfast bonus. A 25% chance to trigger champions boon on kill is huge. Now, my question is how to get there. Assuming acc is no problem, dual wielding results in the highest DPS, so it should kill things much faster. On the other hand, I might land the finishing blow with my off hand weapon. So will one handed style be the better way to go? It will also do considerable damage, especially due to lots of crits, and while the attack speed is lower, I will definitely kill with steadfast. And finally, which of the three classes do you consider the best wielder?

Fps Locked to 22 ...

Did it actually run at 22 fps? Or did it show you it ran at 22 fps and you got sort of an placebo effect, thinking it actually ran at that speed? Maybe the measuring was the problem, not the game... at least that is what happened to me once -
There is a thread on exactly that question somewhere around here... It evalutaed that the differemce was marginal, and to be honest in that case the healing really takes it in my opinion. If I recall correctly, the cat as an advantage against low and medium DR, but for high DR the Boar takes it. And te Cats ability is per rest, the Boars is every ecounter.

Still not getting it. No sane person celebrates the misery of others but what you're doing is trying to guilt-trip others for something that they had no part of. Being paranoid about what you can joke about just makes things worse. I'm only saying have some respect. I don't say anyone here is guilty, that is ridiculous. I'm only saying, joking on one of the greatest tregdies that have ever occured is not something I consider very enjoyable. I can not stop you from it. I will give my opinion. -

Well... My problem is not guilt... I am simply disgusted -

It's not about responsibility. Obviously it's not your fault. But could you easily live with the possibility that your (grand)father might have spend years murdering Jews in a gas chamber? Could you deal with the fact that your (grand)parents might have been part of one of humanities greatest tragedies? That your grandparents are the people children will ask teachers about how anybody could ever do such a thing? Could you live with that thought? -

It's a very popular photo, but it's still effective.... What you see is a pile of glasses. The victims were forced to undress before being gased, and their belongings where piled up. So, every pair of glasses must have belonged to someone, right? Those are a lot of glasses, wouldn't you agree? Could you easily live with he possibility that your grandparents might have been directly responsible for the very existence of that pile? -

Chippy, please realise that the EU is not some strange power made up of mysterious men and women secretly ruling over Europe. The EU is made up mainly of representatives chosen by the elected governments of the countries, parts are directly elected by the citizens. The EU is about making deals. You give up certain rights in sovereignty, you gain certain rights in economical and security aspects. But you can not get a purley beneficial deal without giving up some sovereignty. Please also realise that Britain used to be one of EU's most powerful members. -

English, because it is already established as am international language in Europe. But look for example at Switzerland... They have three different languages in one country as well and are up and running. Culturally speaking, the USE would be quite a challenge. But nothing that can not be done -

The one thing you are right about is that a lot of countries participated in some genocide throughout history, and they are not widely talked about. However, the holocaust was from what I perceive one of the worsts if not the worst genocides to ever happen. In the end, it was purley industrial. The humanity was brutally ripped from the victims. The camps were run like factories. Please have the decency not to joke about this. -

Tell me chippy, have you ever read a good book on Nazi Germany? Not an accusation, I just want to know how in depth we can go. -
Yeah, but only to one enemy instead of all. It doesn't help a lot when you get surrounded. Until you get Relentless Storm you should watch your back - after you cast that spell defenses don't matter much - that was my point. So low CON can be ok. I was arguing in your favour.. I'm not going against you (as if I stood a chance... Might as well fight the alpine dragon with minor missiles), I was just having fun But sorry, no offence was intended

Now Bruce, first of all thank you BUT At least when talking about West Germany, the BRD was not severely punished after WWII. Which was the consequence of seeing how badly the concept of punishing Germany went after WWI... The treaty of Versailles made Nazi Germany possible in the first place . Germany was greatly helped after WWII. Just look at the Marshall plan. The self inventing part is true though but even if we did pretty well, we still have problems... Especially parts of eastern Germany are still in need of care. Even if we ignore history, we are by no means the ideal country. But still, pretty nice job, I agree But then again, we had an unfair advantage: we had a lot of experience what does NOT work when today's Germany was created, so the result is a constitution inspired by everything that went wrong in history. In a way, losing two world wars helped us.
