  1. You don't need to bring a boatful of weapons to use passive resistance. Clearly many on that ship wanted violence from the start. Unless you're talking about the European activists, that may be true.
  2. Here's a peace activist from the flotilla Here are peace activists singing about killing Jews :
  3. How else would you board it if they weren't cooperating? They had nothing to cooperate with! Their ship was stormed without fore-warning during the twilight hours of the morning. If you're going to board and search a vessel as a responsible policing force, you don't ATTACK IT WHEN EVERYONE IS SUPPOSED TO BE ASLEEP. Open your eyes and do a bit of bloody reading before you post for once. They were ordered to stop first. And EVERYONE was asleep? Even the crew? And it wasn't attacked, it was boarded, it was the soldiers who got attacked. And btw, remember what I said about Turkish Islamists? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/...nd-the-IHH.html
  4. It's up to the publishers which games get made, not up to Obsidian.
  5. How else would you board it if they weren't cooperating?
  6. And that's what they were doing, policing the naval approaches, and they did order the ships to stop first. I don't see what difference it makes whether it was 20 km or 80 miles from Gaza. Hamas doesn't recognize the Oslo accords btw.
  7. That's the misunderstanding here, the convoy wasn't going to enter Israeli territory, it was going to Gaza. And a naval blockade means you stop ships in international waters, otherwise you'd have to enter the territorial waters of the country being blockaded. Of course this situation is a bit different as Gaza is not a country. And Turkey is the one who set the whole thing up, if Israelis still think Turkey is their friend, they're being delusional.
  8. Not so long as information is used to try to achieve a political goal. Sooner or later the truth will come out though, not many may be paying attention by then.
  9. Because Israel has a blockade on Gaza, since you know, Hamas is sworn to destroy Israel. And of course the whole thing was meant to be a provocation Wals, there's no problem getting humanitarian supplies through relief organizations.
  10. Are you being facetious or do you really believe what you just wrote? You really need to educate yourself better. So you're claiming Henning Mankell, world famous Swedish author and well-known humanitarian (known for donating half of his considerable wealth to charity), is a member of this undefined Islamist group.. and then you want other people to "educate yourself better"? Your ignorance is nauseating. Most Europeans present were probably just useful idiots, it were the Turkish Islamists who brought the weapons.
  11. Are you being facetious or do you really believe what you just wrote? You really need to educate yourself better.
  12. These weren't any "peace activists". This was a Turkish islamist group intentionally creating an incident, in collusion with Turkey's Muslim Brotherhood government.
  13. Hmm, he shouldn't duck if you're pressing the thumbstick forward, at least I didn't notice it. And I agree, the mechanics they came up with are very nice, overall it's a very well made game.
  14. Alan Wake is really good so far.
  15. Iran just got elected to the UN women's rights committee, think about that.
  16. That's actually a great idea, you should suggest it to Harmonix/EA.
  17. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't let them carry an actual dagger to school. Some kind of facsimile might be allowed, if it wasn't dangerous.
  18. I said it's usually sub-par, meaning not up to a dedicated combat game, doesn't mean it can't still be fun. ME1 is a good example, the combat was about as broken as AP sounds to be, yet it still got great reviews for the most part.
  19. Find one in US which bans religious items. The school woud have to prove that such items are disruptive, and that that's the wearer's fault, and not the school's. As I said before, the standard is compelling government interest, and I don't see any circumstances under which they could prove that.
  20. RPG's usually have sub-par combat, and if the game wasn't buggy it wouldn't be the Obsidian we all know and love.
  21. You have a right. But not much of one. Promoting illegal activity in a school sponsored event is not the same thing as wearing a cross. No it's not, you have no understanding of the law. You can require a dress code, but you can not prohibit display of religious items. At best they could limit the size or something like that.
  22. It all amounts to quality of writing and characters being very subjective. Also different reviewers prioritizing different things, as Josh said. Edit: For example I thought Mass Effect story was horrendously stupid and juvenile. Yet most people loved it.
  23. The constitution does. You have a right to religious expression and free speech even in school.
