Wrath of Dagon

Here's an article about the campaign to shut up critics of Islam : http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/meet-the-honor-brigade-an-organized-campaign-to-silence-critics-of-islam/2015/01/16/0b002e5a-9aaf-11e4-a7ee-526210d665b4_story.html

I don't joke about terrorism, and this is approaching genocide.

There's a mainstream tradition in Islam of taking the Koran literally, while Christianity and Judaism rationalize away things that modern morality finds objectionable. So when the Koran says "You must fight the infidel until they submit" the Jihadists take that as their marching orders. The Egyptian president has just made a very important speech on this very subject : http://www.raymondibrahim.com/from-the-arab-world/egypts-sisi-islamic-thinking-is-antagonizing-the-entire-world/ Of course Christianity went through it's own very similar period : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Bartholomew%27s_Day_massacre But that was 400 years ago!

I'm afraid the tide of Islamism will not be turned back unless US is forced to intervene militarily in a big way.

I think this explains it pretty well : http://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/blame-for-charlie-hebdo-murders

American culture as gnostic conspiracy : http://thefederalist.com/2015/01/02/is-2015-the-year-history-rebels-against-progressivism/ Not sure I'm buying his entire premise, such as isn't the hero's journey supposed to be individualistic, while progressivism is collectivist?

You miss the point if you're focused on the KKK. Most KKK members certainly wouldn't call the KKK a hate organization, and I only mention them (and the Black Panthers) due to the amount of stigma Average Joe perceives them to have, and in case the point wasn't already clear up until the time I mentioned them. I wouldn't feel any differently if some Christians had done the evil deed (some Christians very well may have), that you even ask me that tells me you completely misunderstand what I was saying. You're the one who made the KKK analogy, I was only responding to it. Of course freedom to offend is part of free expression, or are you saying an atheist attacking a religion is not free expression?

Last Light I had to switch to easy difficulty eventually. 2033 I don't remember needing a gas mask in the library, I think I mostly ran from the Librarians. May be restart that level with a guide? Also I don't remember any Librarians in Last Light, or is that in an expansion? In other news, I finished Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments. It actually grew on me more as I played it. I'd say the only downside is you have to go through their check list of clues to find, there's isn't any player initiative there. But it is well broken up with puzzles and minigames, which are pretty good and tend to fit nicely into the investigation. You can also skip almost all of them. You do have some agency in making the deductions, and a few of them you have to pay attention to the evidence and conversations, it's not all explicitly linked to the clues. The stories are quite interesting, the acting and voice work is well done, and some characters you meet are pretty compelling, and even have some emotional resonance, not something I expected. Overall, it does a good job of putting you into Sherlock's shoes, though the ending of the last mission I thought was a bit uncharacteristic of him. A thing to remember to make the game quite a bit easier is that a task will only disappear from the journal once you find all the clues in that area, and something you're examining will automatically be put back/closed only once you see everything you were supposed to. This prevents you from backtracking endlessly to try to find that one clue you've missed.

You analogy isn't exactly right, because the KKK is explicitly a hate organization. This was a satirical magazine that satirized everybody. Christianity is regularly mocked and blasphemed, how would people feel if Christian terrorist murdered the offenders? This is exactly the right analogy here, you can be an atheist and call God a sky fairy and flying spaghetti monster and still no one has the right to touch a hair on your head.

It's all the commies' fault: http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=260

I think there's only one way to get the radiation suits, at least that's all I found in spite of all my attempts.

The third and final hub (Ganezzar) is firmly set to be released Jan 19, although it won't quite have everything at that point. Also some stuff on their design process : http://www.irontowerstudio.com/forum/index.php/topic,6067.0.html

Btw, our old friend CAIR again : http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/11/18/muslim-groups-seek-to-co-opt-ferguson-protests-says-watchdog-group/

I haven't defended this particular mosque in any way, I know little about it and don't live anywhere near Brooklyn. Would you condemn all churches because one has members of the KKK? You seem pretty quick to do that with Islam. Show me one place where I condemned all mosques or all Islam. In fact I've done the opposite several times. Go back and read the posts you made about me in the other thread, may be you'll figure it out.

Yeah, there is a terrorist mosque in Brooklyn after all, it's not all a product of my fevered xenophobic imagination as you think. But good reading comprehension, what does it take to be a California teacher exactly? Everybody in the Brooklyn Mosque is a terrorist? That would be super convenient for the FBI. I wonder if several high officials in a church were members of the KKK if you would defend that church as "not everybody in the church is a member of the KKK".

The guy might have visited a mosque in Brooklyn once? *gasp* Yeah, there is a terrorist mosque in Brooklyn after all, it's not all a product of my fevered xenophobic imagination as you think. But good reading comprehension, what does it take to be a California teacher exactly?

I should be the one laughing, as you seem to think collecting intelligence isn't one of the functions of an intelligence agency. Of course given that most of the British intelligence agents were actually Soviet spies, in that case you're right, they already knew whatever they needed to know.

So people who were laughing and clapping and people who called for the murder of policemen during demonstrations were all mentally unstable? http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2014/12/20/nypd-shooting-eyewitness-people-clapping-and-laughing-after-killings/ This is the atmosphere that Obola, Sharpton and De Blasio helped to create with their lies and incitement. Edit: Oh, and this is for Hurlshot : http://pjmedia.com/tatler/2014/12/20/did-cop-killer-ishmael-brinsley-visit-terror-tied-brooklyn-mosque/

What other people?

He can race bait until he encourages the murder of policemen though.

By that argument why gather intelligence at all, if the problem is too much information? Your examples are disinformation, not the same thing is unreliable information. It would be pretty hard to get someone to maintain a planted story when subject to enhanced interrogation. Most intelligence information is unreliable, that's why it is difficult. Lots of people who knew what was going on said that intelligence collected was useful, a politicized partisan report by Senate Democrats who were already on record with their opinions before any investigation was done and who didn't even talk to most of the people involved doesn't prove anything.

According to you, they already moved in next door and built a nice shiny mosque. Yes they did. You can bury you head in the sand all you want.

Most intelligence info isn't reliable. The point is to get info so it can be cross checked against other info or to develop other info. Unreliable info is still better than none.
