  1. Behold the consequences of 3 decades spent telling the voters that they can't trust media organizations! (And, you know, the internet killing the economic viability of local investigative reporting.) Well, you can't, it's just a fact. You can still find everything you need on the internet, like the voting record, you don't need investigative reporting for that. I'm not claiming he did anything underhanded that needed to be investigated, but most people don't even bother to check how their Congressman actually votes. You can trust the media on most things, the same stories get told on Al-Jazeera, CNN, Sky, BBC etc. So if the media was indeed untrustworthy that would mean all independent global media houses are complicate in some kind of global deceit and conspiracy theory....and I reject that idea It worries me immensely that you feel you can't trust international media houses yet you seem to believe any other link from far less credible sources....especially when they suit a particular narrative All these news outlets are similar ideologically, thus have similar biases. As I said before, they mostly lie through omission and emphasis, and giving opinions disguised as facts, so you having a similar ideology may not recognize it. I try to evaluate all sources objectively. Here's an example: http://blogs.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/timblair/index.php/dailytelegraph/comments/marathon_motive_mystery/ OK, probably not entirely fair as some of the reporting was very early. We don't want it. 4-5 viable parties would be enough.
  2. Don't you mean + Taqiyya ?

  4. We tried to defeat my Congressman in the primary. 47% of the votes were against him, which is tremendous against a powerful incumbent. He probably did the worst of any Congressman in Texas who were challenged, but 47% is still not enough to beat him. He probably had 50 times more money than the nearest challenger and ran saturation commercials, so he could lie with impunity since no one had the resources to effectively rebut him. Most voters just don't bother to find out information for themselves and make the right decision, so what can you do about it?
  5. Made sense to me, why should he be so powerful by himself? It's just to take the sweet, sweet revenge. I mean you're a Jedi, and what is he?
  6. We have now achieved singularity, where the Onion has merged with reality. As I keep saying, nothing can be done until the laws are changed to get rid of the two party system. A third party will never be viable unless it can replace one of the two major parties. Suppose Bloomberg ran like he was thinking of doing. He'd probably get a good chunk of votes, but all it would accomplish is ensure that Hilzilla, who he just endorsed, and would infinitely prefer to Trump, lost. Disclaimer: I'm actually pretty happy the way the election is going so far.
  7. I was talking about her other law breaking, not just the unethical behavior on display here. And actually certain things are illegal in politics, I'm not an expert in that law. For example if you take donations in support of party activities, but in fact use it for a specific candidate, that could be fraud and could be against election law, not sure. David Burge ‏@iowahawkblog Jul 25 If this election doesn't convince voters why government ought to be small, then we're doomed.
  8. It becomes the government's job when the politician breaks the law, like Hilzilla. But the press is certainly not doing their jobs either, unless you accept that their job is to be Democrat party operatives, in which case they're doing great.
  9. It was the only real boss battle in the game. It just felt so weirdly out of place. Unless I missed something earlier, there was no significance to that boss battle. It's like they just added it because every game apparently needs to pit you against a giant alien creature before the end of the game. At least the previous semi-boss battle just prior to that made sense from a story perspective. That one was sort of like "wait, why am I fighting a giant creature that there's been no mention of in the lore?" Niesha said there must be some really bad mutations at the pole when you first get there, but may be it depends on which companions you have. There are giant mutations throughout, so why is this one out of place? Also you fight a similar boss in the Mars game.
  10. In Soviet US, the government selects the voters.
  11. Less immigration = more assimilation.
  12. When our own government refuses to keep our politicians honest, we have to outsource it to the Russians. Foreigners - doing the jobs Americans won't do.
  13. It was the only real boss battle in the game.
  14. I bet they said that in Venezuela too. Now they're eating their pets.
  15. Compared to SA, Hilzilla is clearly an amateur.
  16. http://observer.com/2016/07/wikileaks-dismantling-of-dnc-is-clear-attack-by-putin-on-clinton/ I look forward to the Russians releasing the e-mails Clinton deleted from her server. Russia - keeping the FBI honest for almost a century.
  17. This is what I thought, but had to look it up to be sure: "Presently, there is no official Supreme Court ruling on whether the President has the power to break a treaty without the approval of Congress, and the courts also declined to interfere when President George W. Bush unilaterally withdrew the United States from the ABM Treaty in 2002, six months after giving the required notice of intent.[11]" No matter what Trump is threatening now, he will come under a huge amount of pressure not to carry most of this out, if he gets elected.
  18. May be you guys should comment here : http://www.irontowerstudio.com/forum/index.php/topic,7217.0.html Might actually do some good.
  19. Trump should release his tax returns when Hilzilla releases her speeches to Goldman Sachs.
  20. You will learn to love the Dear Leader, or else!
  21. Media being Democrat operatives has been obvious for a long time. Nice to have it confirmed incontrovertibly though.
  22. How does insanity in Europe prove that something is wrong with the US? Maybe both sides are insane? I'm just pointing out that cop violence is less acceptable. Nothing more than that. Cop violence is not acceptable. The only time they're allowed to use deadly force is when someone's life is in danger.
  23. How does insanity in Europe prove that something is wrong with the US?
  24. The enemy walked too far away or you did? That's how the game punishes you if you try to run away and heal.
  25. I think its a prequel. Actually it takes place in exactly the same time frame. To me switching stances is a waste of time. You're better off optimizing one stance and technomancy. Unfortunately they made it so that you can only shoot the gun from one stance, big mistake.
