Yes you right, we not on the same page. Thats okay, we can agree to disagree and debate other topics

No thats not what I am saying, it has never been implemented in schools because it was banned before it was implemented. Thats my understanding. If it has been implemented then I cant find the curriculum at any school If you can find an example of what the curriculum is at US schools that would be great

Thats interesting, so any future PoE wont be because of Microsoft but rather disappointing sales numbers

I have no idea, what are you talking about ?

No CRT is not the same thing as evolution, their is real evidence of evolution But part of the problem with the discussion around CRT at schools is what @Chairchucker raised, you wont find a curriculum for it because its been banned but it still get raised. Gromnirs link is for a specific university and that is not the same thing as the school subject But the school curriculum does and must exist if its banned, so maybe someone can find us that so we have this debate? https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/critical-race-theory-is-banned-in-these-states/ar-AAKWl5g @Chairchucker You asked what is the issue with CRT? Its about a selective and inaccurate portrayal of history of the US and that revisionist history will replicate around the world to all countries that had colonialism. To quote for the link above "the theory that racism is not merely the product of prejudice, but that racism is embedded in American society and its legal systems in order to uphold the supremacy of white persons." So basically most followers of CRT believe that the US is a country created by systemic racism and this is still the case. I disagree that is the case for several reasons that include , SA and Apartheid is an example of systemic racism where you had actual laws in the country that discriminate directly against black people The US is a country of 320 million people and 73 % of those people are white. Yet you had a black president for 2 terms so obviously white people would have had to vote for Obama. A country where systemic racism is real you wouldn't have seen this The US has millions of people desperate to immigrate to it and many of them are non-white. If the US was really racist why would so many non-white people want to immigrate their? You dont see the same levels of immigration to Russia or China Finally racism exists in the US but thats incidents and not systemic. I will always be opposed to sweeping, inaccurate generalizations of history and or current realities in the world

So the belligerence and bigotry of some white people means we going to create a selective and misleading view of history and suggest that the success, strength and influence of the US is because of oppression, slavery and racism? It cant be because of hard work, industriousness, sacrifice and the trials and tribulations of the first immigrants from Europe ? Yeah right, tell me another one

Wormie I'll be your dance partner, just let me know

https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/microsoft-buys-activision-blizzard-68-141047397.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall Microsoft paid $68 billion for Activision so yes I think Kotick will be okay

This is an overreaction but its because of this irrational and real concern with revisionist history and attempts to teach CRT in schools in some states. And before someone says " but its not being taught in schools, stop fearmongering BruceVC" Thats only because its been blocked and prohibited in several states or it would be taught

Its good to be wrong sometimes in life, lets hope this is one of those times

@Mamoulian War Yes, Mamie are you sure that Obsidian wont be making anymore isometric RPG? Is this an official statement, a rumor or a guess based on games they currently developing that arent isometric RPG?

What do you mean, what has Lego done that warrants this ?

Do you guys have any examples, in the last 10 years, of where Microsoft has bought a gaming studio and its got worse? For example since they acquired Bethesda things seem fine and I dont see any problems with any Bethesda anticipated games Microsoft nowadays respects the independence of gaming companies they purchase unless the company is running at a loss in which case they will intervene to fix things So I dont get all these negativity about this development, its much worse on Codex with people really upset and venting. So you guys are more reasonable with your concerns

This is huge news, well done Microsoft

I think its ridiculous to sue Lego for something that is so inconsequential. Lets get real for a moment, its a tiny representation of a jacket on a tiny lego toy. I hope Lego fights this in court for years

Is this is a condition you have always suffered from or has it got worse the older you get and what games can you play if any, do you know what caused it ? Sorry for all the questions, I am always interested in these types of ailments and if they physiological or is it more a mental problem like something caused by stress( thats just an example )

Geez Barti you must stop downloading so much porn....then you wouldnt need so such space

Its time you played the Witcher games, I can suggest some effective medication for your vertigo if you concerned ? They really are a superlative series of games

Yeah, its well known that most people from the Baltic states hate Star Wars ....its something to do with the Cold War and the Reagan missile defense system. So dont take it personally and want a divorce https://atomicarchive.com/history/cold-war/page-20.html

Here is an informative and interesting video of the scope and support of Adult games, you can watch it directly on Youtube

https://www.thefashionlaw.com/lego-name-in-copyright-lawsuit-over-leather-jacket-design/ @Gorth Gorthfuscious I am shocked and disappointed by this latest criminality committed by Denmark, I cannot believe you Nordic people are so dismissive of IP and copyright laws? I dont know what is worse, this callous infringement or the massive NZ KFC chicken smuggling syndicate that was exposed ? ( @Zoraptor I didnt notice you acknowledging this moral decay in your country ? )

I have never watched Red Dwarf before, I must sometime because I enjoy British comedy like Fawlty Towers and Monty Python

I have to concur, nothing excites me as much as discounts on games I like

God of War for PC is available, I know this is something all of us can get excited about

I had never heard of this game before so I looked it up on GOG and it looks very promising. I like Pirate games, Risen was very entertaining
