Wrath of Dagon

Either that, or your reading comprehension is not very good and you don't really understand the quotes. The funny thing is, I was very tempted to say that about you, but decided to be polite. The State Department has always been full of accomodationist morons, nothing new here. How else to explain their sending this guy to raise money for his mosque from Middle East despots using taxpayer money? Edit: Your third option is to think for yourself btw, instead of relying on Obama's or State Department's judgment. Edit2: Here's some more stuff to ponder: http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/war-and-peace...n-islam-part-1/ http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/war-and-peace...n-islam-part-2/

That's wasn't a simple fetch quest either, since if you do it he then scams you, plus it's all part of the story of what a prick he is, not just a stand alone fetch quest from a random NPC. Also if you get the quest before you get to Kashyyk, you can get the gland while you're doing other stuff anyway, so there's really no extra effort involved.

US is a republic, not an empire. It's not like we've never been in a tough spot before. The situation before the Civil war was way worse than it is now. I can provide a link if anyone's interested. That is odd, the Cordoba Initiative's mission statement is: That's just propaganda designed for a gullible western audience. Their founder publicly said (in Arabic of course) he doesn't believe in interfaith dialog. His quotes given in this thread should convince anyone with an ounce of common sense that he is at least a terrorist sympathizer, if not an active supporter. His position is basically the same as Bin Laden's, we got what we deserved.

I can't think of a single Fed Ex quest in KOTOR.

You do know that is not the full quote, right? Just thought you might want to read it in context before you start making claims based off of it (not that those claims are wrong, you could argue either way, but it's always nice to put something in the full work when citing it -helps prevent quote-mining-). In context it still means the same thing as I said, and further your quote confirms that religion is not compatible with Marxism Leninism and something to be fought against. But thanks for the quote. Edit: None of those are arguments for why they should build a new mosque right next to Ground Zero. If it was some kind of interfaith center inclusive of people of all faiths, that would be a different story. I believe that was actually proposed and rejected by the Cordoba foundation. All they're interested in is Muslim triumphalism, this has nothing to do with being able to practice your religion freely, they can do that anywhere else in Manhattan.

I meant a coalition is required under certain election results, which is never the case in the US. Also there's no such thing as "governing", the President is always the President, and Congress votes on laws regardless of party make up, only the individual votes for each law count. Being a two party system one party or another will control which laws get to the floor, but that's not a requirement, simply the result of a two party system.

RPG's used to have good quest design, which is why I liked them. Now it's just the same repetitive Fed Ex quests.

Wrong, the belief in God is incompatible with Marxism/Leninism, it's the opiate of the people.

That's because their system requires a coalition government, ours doesn't. Also "improve" is debatable.

All names of civilian informants et.c. are cut out in the wikileaks documents. Where are you getting that information from? Every report I've seen stated the contrary.

Actually there is no right to build a mosque anywhere he wants. For example, if an area is zoned residential, no one can build a mosque or a church there. And there should be no right to build a mosque on the sacred ground where thousands of Americans were murdered by Islamists in the name of Islam. Here's another choice quote from the peace loving Rauf:

All the Afghans who worked with NATO in those documents are now under a death sentence from Taliban thanks to those ****. Even all the human rights organizations have said so, but I suppose they're all US agents also.

No he has not. He said they have the right to build it. Not the same as supporting it. He said it in such a way it was obvious he supported it, and the audience erupted in applause. After the very negative reaction he got, he tried a Clintonian walk back by claiming he didn't say it was a good idea.

Rauf said US was complicit in 9/11, refuses to condemn Hamas, blames the West whenever he's asked about causes of terrorism, and wants US to be sharia compliant (see Time magazine cover). The name of the Cordoba foundation is a not so subtle hint that Spain belongs to Muslims. The real question is where you're getting your information from.

Right or wrong, it was Bush who made the decision to go to war, not Saddam.

Honestly, I've played all Obsidian games and I do not see all those great innovation if we compare them to Bioware games. Can you make some example so I can understand? Having said that, innovation for innovation is not good for me if the final result is poorly implemented. I mean, if we consider Kotor 2 final or Soz exploration feature as innovation... well, I take all the time trite Bioware design that at least makes good and mostly polished games with a winning formula. I didn't say "great innovation". I said they're at least trying to do something interesting, don't make a strawman. For example, in AP they at least implemented a lot of permutations for player's choices, and also tried to evolve RPG into a more constrained yet responsive form (it was constrained presumably because of a lack of resources, but like I said at least they're trying). Bioware is just repeating their formula ad nauseum, and on top of that their games have really degenerated lately.

It's fair to say that Bush was responsible for the Iraq war. I don't think he can be fairly blamed for the financial crisis. Yes, in theory it was preventable and it happened on his watch, but realistically none of our leaders would have had the wisdom and the political courage to prevent it.

Actually they don't. Not for the last 5 years anyway. I don't know. Obsidian have published two games so far that are sequels of Bioware titles. And a shooter with RPG elements (that reminds me of something but I could be wrong). The only game with a design that was clearly different from Bioware titles so far has been Storms of Zehir wich was an expansion of NWN. I'm not saying that Obsidian is not creative and talented. Only that I do not see all those differences in terms of design and that the two company influence a lot each other. The difference is Obsidian is at least trying to do something interesting, Bioware has become incredibly trite. Yes, they made sequels but the originals are more than 5 yrs old, hence my caveat.

Actually they don't. Not for the last 5 years anyway.

That and the fact that the Muslims consider him a Muslim through his father, and it's likely that he was raised as a Muslim in Indonesia.

Not if it's against the law in that state.

It's perfectly reasonable not to believe a word that comes out of his mouth.

Pretty amazing article: http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/29983/G..._Weaknesses.php My favorite quote:

Wow, there's a faulty echo on the forum.

Didn't the British already try to force China to legalize opium?
