Should ship the Iraqis to the US, really. They're not obvious opportunity seekers or anything, I imagine they are included in the quotas being talked about in the EU ?

Makes sense to me, the Geneva Conventions set rules on the way to kill people and everyone's cool with it

Rather surprised the niqab issue actually matters. I guess most people assume they don't have to ID themselves as part of the whole citizenship ceremony rather than just them wearing it when taking the oath.

You don't say, but was just thinking on that hypothetical. They need to add that in, spice things up.

Wouldn't put it past them, UK guys are a lot of wankers anyway. Not quite the gold standard of 8 bosses, but 7 is impressive. My company is a flatter structure, but still functions like a terrorist network - cells are isolated, etc.

Hm, not sure Pakistan being crushed by India would be that all a bad thing, really.

Saw this in a GOG mail, looks like it could be interesting or fun. Not much press, at least none I've seen

Replaying Starcraft 2 on Hard, I still suck at this game. Probably should be a drone and look up some common plans and builds. Plugging along in Cities Skylines, thankfully you can buy up the whole map once your city hits 65k natively. I suppose I should make my city bike friendly, traffic is flowing well enough - even if it's 24/7 rather than lower traffic at night. Then again maybe it is so bad people are driving 24 hour journeys

Must be Gorth's new improved algorithm at work! Possibly. I suspect management routinely masturbates to pie charts and metrics. Saves them from thinking I guess. This week I have to give interviews. So very boring.

A generation that needs something to die for.

Should we be sorry that our country is too boring after escaping war and persecution or something like that? So much for them being desperate and running for their lives still. Kind of rude.

Well, our brands are doing well at least.

Doesn't seem to be, well at least in the way it is used. Not sure what cyber violence would be, exactly.

Heh, the cyber touch stuff reminded me of the "virtual rape" video that was making the rounds after GTA Online went out.

How do you make path to citizenship harsh, exactly ? Trial of Position ?

Our UK office was told to reduce toilet roll use, while sounds like something out of Snow Crash, I thought that was handled by building management and not a tenant.

Cities Skylines. Cities are pretty at night, if only I had designed one that seems realistic and livable rather than some coldly efficient habitation zone. I do chuckle that I've purposely created a high density zone with limited education so there will be workers for my farms.

Hm, Canada should take them in en masse. Not like there is any culture or identity for them to destroy.

Well, if a country is under strain due to its existing populace, adding more people certainly runs the risk of just adding to that. Hard to really generalize all these migrants anyway, whether it's as people who will only bring good or bad. Though if countries sift through them before they take them in, and even a bit after, should work out same old.

Hopefully it'll cause people to look at why we've come to this point in the first place. Hint: it's not the refugees. Nope and sounds cool and all, but they might make those problems worse which isn't of use to anyone.

Probably would be easier if sone refugees didn't turn their noses up at some of the countries they wish to use as way stations. You should help out others in need, just do it reasonably - none of this "No one is illegal" stuff or fortifying your borders. Maybe eventually they will collectively halt them at Greece and funnel them around as needed. Hm...need to be a Refugee Crisis simulator.

Watched the Pope's speech, was bothered by clients making me do my job. Very keen to go home and play Cities Skylines with the After Dark expansion. Trying to find a mason to fix our front steps as well, we got lucky of sorts with our flooring guy as a neighbour recommended them, but no such luck this time.
