Care for your own before everyone else, it's a reasonable thing to do - most of the time people care more about their blood relations than some dude on the street Hazarding a guess, also people hate having to mind others or in some way feel like they are being punished for getting ahead. How accurate those are when it comes to making society fair, depends on circumstance and implementation.

Shut up, you troll.

If humanity collectively believed that, we'd still be living in caves, you do realize that, right? True, but denying the fact that jobs, living spaces, money, etc. are finite isn't going to get you far. Hard to prevent people from leveraging any advantage they have (proper or not, doubt we will ever all be saints), so it won't be really 'fair'. In terms of making it fair for starting points, I guess you could drag up the bottom ranks, so to speak - have to reprogram attitudes so that's not easy to implement.

Why change it ? It's a competition for limited things, in most areas and you're not always going to win. We have to live life as it is, not as it should be after all. To be fair to GD, that is a good argument to have - was one of the reasons I had for not wanting the US to go to Iraq - as it encourages a less interventionist US. Of course, with the US at the level it is in the global game, that's fantasy

Yes it is the same. She's not trolling, I think, as in not trying to wind you all up. She, like Volo, is made of iron - the flames of posters do naught but harden her.

Ahh, blowing through the roof is definitely cool

Ah, I confess I didn't know they announced runners up in their poll.

Should have named ISIS (they've done groups before)

Doesn't seem like he is really aiming at Finn, but ok, am not a fencer so I'll take your word for it that what he's doing there is genuine.

True, just looks silly, but what are we to expect from these fights

The saber slash by the bad guy at the end looks like it has absolutely no power behind it.

Minus the response, it's pretty much like debating with anyone here. No one concedes and just go at each other.

Does not know enough details to tell how it would work, but it's worth looking at. Seems she should be a bit more informed

Yep, previews at RPS and other places. Sounds like it'll be enjoyable, which means Firaxis will screw it up a bit

Found out amusing things can happen when you reference the below scene and someone doesn't get it

You read the books? Yep. They weren't awful but I wasn't overly taken by it.

Who are these mythical creatures that say "say anything mean about Muslims and you deserve all the terrorism you get"? I mean, there's one guy in HoonDing's picture, I suppose. And who are these mythical creatures that say Christianity is all bad and should be banned? Is this also the mythical universe where all Mexicans rape our women and millions of Americans are secretly terrorist sympathisers who worship Bin Laden in their basement? I mean, you're right, in this imaginary world where all of those things are true, I totally agree with you! You've never heard those things ? Granted, a lot of the time it's wannabe militant atheists and some really out there liberal people (we had one professor that said terrorism in Israel is a-ok because of conscription, a long ago). They are cranks, but that's Canada for you.

Guess Dandelion will be strung up again

Yep, but there is always a way. Or he could have used a bomb - thinking on my time in the tube, during rush hour if you were to have a bomb vest you could kill a LOT of people at some stations. Impatient terrorists are a good thing, I suppose..

And people say US politics is extreme.

Guess he was too inept to source a gun, or learn how to use the knife.
