Yet another sale on. Shadowrun HK 50% off, Sea Dogs is cheap as well

Yeah, will play with it a bit more. Is rather fun to appreciate the control systems in it and watching it does remind me of my design project back in school trying to get autonomous robots to rendezvous.

Hah, maybe. I suppose I am poor recipient of gifts, I only really want things I will use else I feel horribly guilty for making the giver waste money. Why I like getting clothes for Christmas, spares me shopping Ah well, will fake enthusiasm for it so my sister won't feel hurt. Nothing too major wrong with you, I hope

Didn't you..get the memo ?

Sister got me that BB-8 Sphero droid toy. Would be nice if it weren't around $200 CAD and we had some degree of floor space for it to roll more than 3 seconds before hitting something. So, have an expensive gift I won't use, great. But at least the dogs aren't scared of it, that's one bright thing.

I still have to play that book. Being forced to run towards a suicide bomber in painfully slow motion put me off a bit

Heh, well that's surprising. Still disagree with it being racist (and thinking about it, not all that rude but that is just me not identifying with either of my countries and letting that colour my eyes) but you caught it so is your call, so to speak. Rather surprised that Trinidad's rape count isn't astronomical, but then again everything there is so ****ed up the degree of error must be 500%

Could be what you are inferring, but it by itself isn't really racist - is a statement generalizing or expressing a prejudice on a country. As you said, he could think that as they are non-Western and so are just generally criminal people (high crime would match up with high rape, I think) or what have you. Not in Bruce's mind, so cannot say for certain. Is still a rude thing to ask, but I'll just assume he wasn't being malicious and withhold my outrage for now

Well, not necessarily the ethnicity, though, he didn't make much mention of it. Saying all Americans are dumb or that the British are bunch of drunkards isn't racist, it's being prejudiced against a large group, for example. If he had said he assumes the rape statistics would be high as those rascally Magyars like a bit of raping now and then, that would be racist.

What has the media been like ? I enjoy the international Media networks but sometimes there constant desire to justify and explain events gets tiresome If I were overly suspicious I would think they were pushing what a great thing it is to bring them, at least on CBC. Probably not as, showing how depserate they are, or silly human interest stories on a family as they make their way in or giving into people boastfully giving aid to them makes for feel-good TV. Helps feed Canadian narcissism, too I guess, heh. 25,000 is pretty small for Canada, I think Toronto alone could absorb that much and be okay.

Not really racist, the nation of Hungary's composed of different groups, no ? Is just a bit prejudiced. First set are arriving in Canada, good aside from the nauseating media coverage and people being welcoming, etc. as it strikes me as being a bit false.

Mostly as he changed it. Like the walkie-talkies instead of guns in E.T..

Indeed. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/checkpoint/wp/2015/11/30/on-ukraines-frontlines-u-s-supplied-equipment-is-falling-apart/

Yeah, not sure killing a dude who is pointing a gun at you, is intending to hand you over to someone who will kill you is cold blooded.

Good luck with that sentiment in this pit of condescension. Aw, man, DE, I thought you were better than that.

Been a while since I read it, just noticed 'Dignity' as a casualty.

I forget if this game is worth bothering with.

Don't need to look back to find it funny. Flame war waged by screwballs, what wasn't funny

Did I claim otherwise ? Again, the half of the post Bruce omitted.. Is a funny thing though to watch, the fuss over something actually becomes the thing. I guess given the people arguing though, it does make sense. Any given event is a cudgle to beat people with. Not really that new, is par for the course in politics, no ?

Never forget The Emu War

Hm, still seems like serious business given the attention on it in that aspect of late, complete with tales of persecution and woe and being booted from a PUG in ESO and robbing girls of the belief that they too can be a Stormtrooper. The second half of my post which you omitted does address the other half.

Blanket disclaimers, hard to imagine much bad PR from someone complaining that a document reading "a user should ensure he..." is sexist or something, though. Actually...no I can really picture a storm of outrage over it.

Now you are just a hairless emo ?
