  1. Absolutely. Its much easier to make constant excuses and justify various social ills and levels of crime in countries like the USA, and other Democracies like UK and SA, than for citizens to take real responsibly for their lives Its always the same argument ..." the system is against me, I had no choice ". And what makes it worse is you have these " experts " with their university studies and big words who use the media to tell us " this is exactly correct and is a societal outcome of inequality". This is the common argument in SA for high levels of crime and violence and our SJW and liberals always repeat this spurious and ineffective approach to addressing much of our social woes But their is never any personal responsibility and yet in the majority African countries who have much worse poverty and much worse true inequality there is less crime
  2. No Malc, never forget " hope springs eternal in the human breast "
  3. It depends on what you want to achieve when people commit heinous crimes, many people want the person to feel consequences for this type of mass shooting So this 18 year old man will spend the rest of his life in jail as opposed to " suicide by police " which is quick So I agree with you that execution is not the right type of justice for this type of crime
  4. That is also a good point and also considering the influence of African American gangs in US prisons I cant imagine he would have a great time
  5. Nah, it makes people feel much better who live in countries that are beset by crime to know people are incarcerated for breaking the law and committing serious crimes
  6. GD I have mentioned to you that you mustnt think Crypto is a real alternative investment to safe and normal investments like equalities or commodities like gold. Crypto has its advantages but dont ever think about it as a " replacement " to normal currency. Stay with what you know has worked for you like gold and property ....its much less potential risk https://news.yahoo.com/crypto-market-loses-200-billion-181412696.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall
  7. It will be interesting to see what Oz voting outcomes reveal, will Morrison win? If he does win that will raise some questions I will ask you and Gorth which will be along the lines of " he cant be that bad if voters keep him in power " ? So I would be interested in what he is doing right if he wins but lets wait and see
  8. I thought he surrendered? Do the US police normally shoot people who surrender? Its a pity he surrendered because I have noticed a global trend in several examples of mass shootings where a gunman will shoot innocent people and then quickly surrender when the police arrive. It demonstrates his cowardice amongst other things I would imagine most committed ideological warriors would die for their cause....if they were true believers You take most ISIS fighters and jihadists during the last days of the Caliphate, they didnt surrender and died in Mosul and Raqqa. They were brutal and barbaric but brave when they made their last stand Its reminds me of Dylan Roof, he was " man " enough to shoot unarmed people in a church but couldnt somehow get killed when the police arrived
  9. Absolutely, thats really my point and it applies to all ethnic\racial groups in the world But we still tend to say " white or black" because its simpler but sometimes this is used inaccurately in a generalized pejorative way
  10. I agree, especially when their is no such thing as " white " people because thats just a collective\general term. We come from different ethnic groups, live in different countries, have different histories and different ideological views For example Im Anglo-Saxon and my ancestors were colonialists who settled in Africa but I dont have the same culture or history as " white " people in Norway or Sweden or America. We very different in many ways both culturally and historically But its much easier to say white people because it becomes complicated to be specific and its not necessary when describing most things Its the same thing as "black " people to describe all black people. In SA we say " black " people but the truth is black people come from different tribes and have different histories and live different realities. And they not all the same. So we just say black people because its easier when making certain points. Its a collective\general term
  11. Why do you think its racist, its an attempt to change that perception and create more inclusive characters in their games? I think its misplaced and unnecessary because their are better ways of doing this but to quote from the article " The idea, the post argues, is to guard “against unconscious bias and exclusion when it came to the creation of their games and characters.” So its well meaning, true racism has to have intent. This strange modelling is not intentionally racist?
  12. A vampire child Thats going to be interesting
  13. Well since you brought it up, no one really cares that Russia was banned and we glad that Ukraine won Since their country is being devastated by Putins War its a just small " win " for the Ukrainian people and yes politics during time of war does influence basically everything
  14. For those fans of RDR2 I installed one of the most interesting mods I have ever seen Its called Misterix Redemption and it adds supernatural monsters and enemies like vampires, giant crabs and snow giants. They dont spawn naturally and you have to use Map Editor to go to these areas but its great fun fighting and killing monsters in this Western themed game https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/mods/304?tab=description
  15. What do you mean? Their are still supply chain problems and inflation is still high in the US And mass shootings increased during Covid and or didnt decrease https://edition.cnn.com/2021/09/16/us/mass-shootings-increased-in-pandemic/index.html
  16. Raithe Im outraged but Im still going to eat Roquefort cheese
  17. Whats it like, I hear its a bit choppy but generally their is good feedback ?
  18. @Mamoulian War and @Chilloutman and other Slav members https://www.rbth.com/lifestyle/330599-russian-slavs-different I have mentioned that since Putins War started I have developed an interest in the history of the Slavic people and historical comments before WW1 that " Russia is the defender of the Slavic people " I found this link, is it an accurate overview of Slavic people?
  19. Let me know if you going to play RDR2 again, I am not replaying it I am just continuing with the John Marston story and all these mods just add the functionality to that but they would also update the main story And its very simple to load RDR2 mods, you literally copy one or two files to the RDR2 installation directory and you dont need a mod manager Its not like my Oblivion modding story, I probably spent about 40 hours before I developed an effective and working strategy
  20. My Oblivion gaming experience is going exceptionally well, Im about 110 hours into the game and Im only on level 11 due to the highly recommended Maskars Overhaul Mod. Its addresses basically every issue you can think of with vanilla Oblivion like no level scaling, slower and realistic advancement, monster variations and vastly improved mechanics on every level I also have started modding my single player RDR2 game and I dont know why I didnt do it earlier. I now have realistic survival requirements like eating, washing, urinating and sleep. I have added additional contracts, gangs, bounty hunting and hunting and herbalist skills. Plus some overhaul mods....its hard to believe how much better the game is
  21. Never forget the important role Turkey plays in keeping tens of thousands of illegal immigrants from getting to the EU, thats a good enough reason to keep Turkey happy
