Had a bit of a scare running out of food but huzzah, finally have my village in a decent state

Watched Arsenal screw it up, again. Really need to find a better use of my time than bothering with this f'ing team.

~32 months until 2016 elections not counting the lag from the elections to the swearing in ceremony Shows what I know. Typically brinksmanship like this is what miscreants try when a President is beset elsewhere, or about to leave*. Mind you, what the hell has the Obama Whitehouse done internationally to deter any aggressive action against allies or potential allies? *On reflection I'm not sure they DO try stuff on the out Has there been any 'aggressive action' threatened to US allies recently ? And in any event, you think Russia's going to really care ?

So 2,000 Russian troops entered Crimea, apparently. Well at Gvardeyskoye, anyway.

Or when the Canadian Conservative party merged with the Liberal party to form the Liberal Conservatives (precursor to the PCs I believe) Then they merged with the Reform to make that Canadian Reform Alliance Party. (Ok, Canadian Reform Conservative Alliance but the acronym is pretty apt the way I wrote it. )

Trauma, lots and lots of psychological trauma.

Probably more hate against them too if the Western pressure succeeds in its aims, which is a shame.

I'd figure you'd be more a Jester...or that bald Captain that played pissed off guys in the 80s.

It never is, but I did say play it as if it were. Ah, the games the world plays.

Maybe Russia can play it like Kosovo, stepping in to defend an ethnic group from those that would harm them

Well, was more thinking of older events. And mentioning CAR was about the outrage machine giving a f**k rather. And I guess if Africa is to resolve their own problems, isn't this Ugandan issue up to them as well without the West's prodding them to fall in line ?

Well within the sort of pseudo-sovereign state of Crimea anyway, no ?

Would make the forum a better place, I'd say. What's the point of wasting time discussing crap you know won't be in due to the game's feature cutoff (hopefully, anyway) being passed by now. Are you pro-romance people trying taking the oppressed label now ?

Playing with the Boys ?

Amusing, when you see how well they've responded to other easily identifiable events in Africa.

Defense companies, lobbyists and banks have different priorities ?

People here aren't bothering that much with it. The law in Arizona was to allow refusal of services on religious grounds, right ? I can see why that got vetoed for entering a sticky area, although if you're a private business, you do have some rights to serve who you please (and people have a right to get pissed at you over it as well). Kind of funny for someone to ask has the world gone mad, especially in Africa, over this issue. As if this were the tipping point.

You can't have empathy without romance ? You do have friends, right ? Same deal. And stop with the martyr crap.

A Harrier ? Really, come now, it should be a Falcon

Arizona's barely registering on the outrage meter here, it might though. Russia was helped by the Olympics in that regard, lots of bleating on about gays an gay rights then with ads, calls for officials to boycott it and people being snarky over it. The outrage is more half-assed and temporary than picking on certain countries, I feel. Internet activism for you.

Hm, my DH that could handle Inferno MP2 now can't handle Torment 1. Either that or I've no idea how to play it.

Perhaps he's referring to you mentioning that this kind of thing is Nazi style tactics, identifying those unworthy people in your society for the presumed cleansing later. Funny, that people are going to get more hot over this than they are what's going on in CAR.

You do realize that part was a joke, right ?

Well, they made the headlines with a new law, so not sure it's really singling out. I don't think it's illegal in US states, though maybe there are some with old sodomy laws that are unenforced.

Multiply that by 20 and I could use that to buy a house here.
