  1. ISIS is a scapegoat according to you? Obviously this has nothing to do with radical ideology, even though his father is an America hating Taliban loving Muslim immigrant who expressed exactly the same views as his son.
  2. He said his grandmother was racist. How come he's not called the first half-white president of the United States?
  3. What's the evidence he was a "Brexit fanatic"? Reports say he was mentally ill. Also what happened with that famous British gun control?
  4. Obola hates America, because we have racism in our DNA. By which of course he means whites.
  5. Progs are suffering right now from a severe case of cognitive dissonance. One of their favorite victim groups is murdering another.
  6. With the likes of Huma Abedeen in the government and CAIR advising Obola, why should that surprise anyone? http://observer.com/2016/06/the-road-to-orlando/ How progressive of him. Well, he is a Democrat.
  7. With independents they're almost even though, most of his high unfavorability is with Democrats, who wouldn't vote for him anyway.
  8. Problem is, there's no due process in being put on the no fly list, so legally it's meaningless. If they actually went to a judge and asked someone to be placed on the no gun list, that may be legal, like they do with mentally incompetent. In other news, shooter probably a homosexual himself: http://m.palmbeachpost.com/news/news/orlando-shooter-omar-mateen-was-gay-former-classma/nrfwW/ I thought it might have something to do with self-hatred.
  9. Eh? The European refugee crisis has literally nothing to do with China, very little to do with Russia (Turkey has had their borders closed, so any extra refugees caused by Russian involvement are either internal or going to countries other than Turkey) and almost as little to do with ISIS since the population in their entire Syrian territory even with full pre war rather than 2014 populations barely passes a million. The only thing it has to do with Iran is that they support Assad; by that measure you can add Qatar, KSA, US etc as they support the rebels (and ISIS pre name change in some cases). It also ignores the biggest factor besides the existence of the civil war itself, Turkey, a nominal ally and friend of both Europe and the US, and the refugee crisis has had almost no effect on the US either. There's nothing US hard power could have done to alter things beyond the wanktastic daydreams of neocon fantasists. I was just using the refugee crisis as an example that even if we ignore the rest of the world, their problems would still make it over here in one form or another. But even in this case, since Turkey is a NATO member, presumably we would have some influence on them if we wanted to keep them from stirring things up in Syria, while if we had no conventional military forces there would be no NATO, and our influence would be a lot less.
  10. What you're saying basically is whatever designs Russia or China or Iran or IS have, we wouldn't interfere, because we couldn't. But I have to believe eventually whatever evils they unleash would get back to us one way or the other, you can see the European refugee crisis as an example. Plus we have global investments and trade we have to protect, unless you're willing to give all that up and just isolate ourselves from the rest of the world. There can be a balance you know. It's not like we need to from spending more on military than the rest of the world combined straight to spending barely anything at all. I don't see for example, why we need things like the F35 Joint Strike Fighter. It costed like $400,000,000, and they don't even work. It's friggin' stupid. We need to stop the BS. No more blank checks for idiotic pet programs in the military. I don't disagree with you. Our military procurement is run by the fox in the henhouse, it's ridiculous the vast amounts of money they waste. And of course we can use (or not use) our military in a much more judicious way as well. All hard problems though.
  11. I don't think we'd survive as the richest global weakling. Like it or not, people are going to want our stuff. But Trump is right, other countries should contribute a lot more to their own defense, we shouldn't be carrying them.
  12. It's not. Illegals are costing us hundreds of billions, not to mention all the crime and social problems. You can't end poverty while you keep importing it.
  13. I know, but as far as promoting it Bethesda seems to have done next to nothing. Most gaming web sites didn't even know that it was released. The reason the developer went out of business was the game wasn't financially successful, while they invested a lot of their own money into it.
  14. Are you trying to imply that the best way to address the inequality of wealth is to get more US citizens out in the fields picking vegetables? Because that would be ridiculous. You can't improve your economic situation if you can't get a starter job because you can't compete with below minimum wage, tax evading illegals. Used to be lots of good jobs for Americans in the construction industry, not any more. It's not just illegals either, it's all the H2 and H1B visa holders driving down US wages. Build the wall and enforce the law. I also expect him to put US interests first.
  15. I am paying more than that by a good deal. But it isn't about the 'rich' not paying their fair share, it's about the fact you cannot grow any wealth below a certain income level, while those at the top are able to grow their wealth extremely fast. Clearly the solution is more low wage illegal immigration.
  16. I'm planning to play most of the above mentioned games, but where the hell do I find the time?
  17. Hopefully it will have better development and final execution than the previous Call of Cthulhu, botched by Bethesda. Bethesda wasn't the developer, they did publish it but seemingly without giving it any resources. Still, IMO, it was a fantastic game and first got me interested in Lovecraft.
  18. Fortunately Focus and Cyanide specialize in more or less niche games.
  19. Here's an interesting analysis: https://medium.com/@Chris_arnade/trump-politics-and-option-pricing-or-why-trump-voters-are-not-idiots-1e364a4ed940#.fhajaivtk
  20. Call of Cthulhu E3 trailer : http://www.gamebanshee.com/news/117368-call-of-cthulhu-e3-trailer.html Also Styx: http://www.gamebanshee.com/news/117361-styx-shards-of-darkness-e3-trailer.html
  21. Yes I agree, lets have this debate with the facts and surly people can state why she would be worse than Trump.... It must be one of the most preposterous statements I have ever heard so I am keen to understand this logic more Here's one of a million reasons : http://pagesix.com/2016/06/05/tell-all-book-reveals-hillarys-erratic-uncontrollable-ways-in-the-white-house/
  22. They can wait till after the election. Don't fool yourself, Garland will vote with the liberals, so it'll make little practical difference. "For the most part the law is the law and there isn't much wiggle room in the interpretation." Are you serious? The left has admitted long ago the law is whatever they want it to be. It was a long ballot. It took me almost 15 minutes to go through it.
  23. You should try stand-up. Edit: Is GOPe planning a coup? http://ace.mu.nu/archives/363918.php
  24. Underrail is so damn addictive I can't stop playing it.
  25. Stygian is an interesting looking Lovecraftian RPG: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1698219403/stygian-a-lovecraftian-computer-rpg?ref=discovery And you can pick a cat from Ulthar as your companion.
