No because I'm sure you know how to google. Thats what I thought, you dont really want to have a debate about facts No problem, it would be wasting my time if you werent really interested

Its not bad, it neglects certain facts like the fact the FBI found all or most of the deleted emails. We discussed this before, data recovery software works well in cases like this https://www.yahoo.com/news/fbi-finds-deleted-clinton-emails-112714810.html?ref=gs That story is old and inaccurate. She used Bleachbit, which makes the data impossible to recover. Try not to use year old stories as evidence. They get stale real fast. Edit: "The Hill" also seems fairly unbiased, although it's also a matter of which stories get coverage at all. When I read Breitbart, it's less that I like the conservative bias, it's that they cover the stories that interest me, which no one else covers. Actually WOD I can raise many inconsistencies and hyperbole based on fact about the so called " criminal behavior " of Hilary around this email scandal. I do this for a living and many things she has been accused of aren't applicable So for starters can you provide links about this " Bleachbit " ? So we can have this debate about facts but I dont think the facts really matter to you in this case? This is not attack on you, I just dont think you want your opinion changed It would be like you telling me " Trump cares about African Americans and there economic reality " ..... You can replace trump with pretty much any politician in that statement and it would be unsupportable. I suppose if you cynical and believe politicians lie that would be true but take your PM? Dont you think he believes in the importance of gender equality? Also when you hear Trump suddenly now try to be nice to the Latinos and African American it just sounds fake ....I dont believe a word he says I'm just saying, Democrats have claimed to care about blacks for a long time, but none of their policies have done anything to help them. Its an interesting point you raise and something I am very aware of because of Apartheid My experience with how black people respond or align with is not necessarily about actual tangible results. Its starts with respect, the Clintons historically are considered friends of African Americans (AA )and that matters on numerous levels Also there are many wealthy AA in the USA but yes some AA do live in poverty and its almost generational and hard for them to break out of it

" Waaaaaaaaaaaaaa....the media is being unfair ....waaaaaaaaaaaaa " Volo blaming the media is like getting angry at Bioware for betraying gamers because they became more inclusive True enough. You can't fault a compass for pointing north. The media is mostly biased towards liberals. It's just how it is. You can find plenty of media of varying degrees of popularity and quality that slant right. You can tilt at windmills all day. The Wall Street Journal. U.S. News and World Report. Investor's Business Daily. Fox News. NewsMax. Breitbart. WorldNetDaily. The New York Post. The Washington Times. Etc.,.. Many people nowadays tend to get their news from sources they are already pre-disposed to agree with anyway. Check this one out, tell me what you think. I've been reading/watching for a month now.

Do you know I still havent played Skyrim yet ....I am busy with the expansions of w3 but once done I'll play Far Cry 4 and then move on Skyrim, I have the GOTY edition You might as well skp FarCry 4, unless you want to choose between Indonesian alt right extremist or Indonesian Anita Sarkeessian. Pagan Min is best ending. I am not a very critical person when it comes to gaming, I enjoyed Far Cry 3....so hopefully 4 is similar? I like doing the side quests like hunting

I would say that it is better idea than let one country decide who has right to have root name servers and what kind domains there can be. But I have my doubts that things will changes to any direction, as there is already Governmental advisory committee where there are representatives from most of world countries and observers from lots of international organizations. The root name servers are distributed around the world for redundancy. Queries very seldom ever reach them because of caching technology. The root name servers are a . record and have records of the top level domains but the records are replicated between the root name servers. So it doesnt matter who manages them as many countries take house them Servers don't matter as much as content. They will try to dictate what content should be allowed, which will lead to what happens in despotic Communism: snitching about things that never happened to get someone in trouble and middle manager overregulating because they don't want to get in trouble with the higher ups. Plus if you think that they won 't come up with an excuse to go after competing servers then your are very naive. After all most people don't have enough tech know how to understand or care about this. I can understand that concern but end of the day the actual data is not the concern of the DNS system, DNS simply routes your query to the " www" or " "ftp " which is the actual server that contains the data. The root name servers dont know about the domains lower than the top level So yes some governments do block some internet sites but the ownership of the root name servers is important but it cant be used to block access to lower sites as this would crash many queries and make overall browsing inconsistent But they cant use competing servers as then you would need another similar system to DNS, like every company uses its own private DNS, and another competing DNS would be pointless as who would want to register with it ? For one they can dictate content, otherwise good bye being on the mainstream portion of the internet. Secondly, you're not seeing this situation as a whole; is like saying that controlling the roads has no bearing on you driving your car (Tolls will prove you wrong). The fact is that this will put globalist interests and national interests at odds when they're not aligned, which gives whomever is lining the pockets of the EU control over the Internet. They can't dictate the content. It is technically impossible. Yes Elerond is correct, the DNS system doesnt dictate content because if you think about it a DNS query is simply a name to IP address translation. DNS doesnt care about content, only routing

They are Eurosceptic, they want to end free movement, dissolve the Euro, keep the common trade bloc, promote traditional family roles, are pro gun rights, etc. With multiculturalism a failure, immigration driving low skill wages down making the poor poorer, and the leftist feminist drive to destroy the traditional family I can see the appeal But some of these objectives seem inconsistent, you cant have the EU and the single market without the Euro as the currency and the central government in Brussels It surprises me people keep bringing this up as a reasonable objective ? Why would you need a common currency to have free movement of goods? The EU as a trading bloc with free movement of goods within it and the European commission simply in charge of negotiating trade for the bloc is what most EU countries signed up for if I remember correctly. The EU real purpose is about economic trade and access to the single market., its suppose to be about a group of countries that have agreed on tariffs and trade laws so that business within the union is cost effective and easy. So for example someone living in Hungary who wants to export .....swords? to Spain and Italy knows that the cost to do this is understood and regulated and that no government can suddenly charge extra tax and make the sale of the swords expensive. This makes understanding things like profitability and costs of doing business much simpler Logically this is much easier to maintain with a single currency because if you had the original multiple currencies it would make the ability to manage this system much harder because some currencies are weaker and more unstable than others And yes free movement is also an objective for citizens of the EU but I question how balanced this is as its normally the same countries people want to immigrate to ...like the UK which can be seen as unfair if you live in the UK

" Waaaaaaaaaaaaaa....the media is being unfair ....waaaaaaaaaaaaa " Volo blaming the media is like getting angry at Bioware for betraying gamers because they became more inclusive True enough.

Many people do whatever, but around here most people don't look to care about the news much at all. For big events everyone'll have an opinion. Elsetimes not. Most people I know see stories on facebook and watch cat videos or maybe talk about human interest. they don't care about what's going on in the world. Interesting to chinwag here because of the political discussions unavailable elsewhere but apathy, not partisanship, is the real evil in the world today. " using facebook as a source of news " You might as well say the Obsidian forums are where you get your information from But I have learnt loads from anecdotal stories from members on these forums but this is more about actual citizens views on the social dynamics in there countries and how they view what this means. Its not necessarily factual but relevant nonetheless as its part of understanding why people have certain views

Exactly, that should be a valid question but I think this rejection of Merkels view on immigration is more about emotion and anger at the direction Germany has taken...its not about actual policy at the moment I'll be honest if I was Merkel I would accept the reality of the political situation, yes it could have worked allowing large amounts of immigrants into the EU but if she continues on this path she could lose the government election ....so I would start reversing the policy in a reasonable and sensible way

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3489936/Angela-Merkel-set-punished-voters-open-door-refugee-policy-Germany-s-Super-Sunday-state-elections.html http://www.politico.eu/article/angela-merkels-conservatives-lose-two-major-regional-elections/ This is a huge development, I am not that surprised but I am disappointed by this result because I like Merkel and really respect her but the frustration being felt by EU citizens cannot be ignored ....clearly So now what? Will Merkels party see this as a warning and change policy?

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/vladimir-putin-dnc-hack-service-american-public-article-1.2776024 Putins got a cheek as usual, its not just the fact he is one of the main suspects in the DNC hacking scandal but he now claims these hacks are a " public service ", so we now have world leaders glorifying cyber-espionage Russia should practice what they preach and stop controlling the media and narrative within Russia....this would be the better " public service "

The W3 is the best RPG I have ever played but I have some advice that is critical to overall enjoyment of the game and not feeling drained when you play it At times the sheer number of quests and things to do can be overwhelming, I can't stress this enough ...you can become put off from the number of quests so the solution is to simply have 2-3 day breaks between playing W3. That way you will always be excited and wont find unnecessary faults or be pedantic about what is wrong with the game

Speak for yourself. You don't speak for me. He speaks for the collective. You are we, we are you. Well as long as we are alike in one very strong way. I speak of course of our hatred of Jose Mourinho. I think everyone on this forum should share my views on politics and support my general sentiment on matters like SJ, this would make debates much less complicated and then we really would all have similar views and get on like that much debated but allusive and metaphorical " forum family " objective we aspire to achieve But lets say on this forum we had to decide on an overall ideological view around things like politics and SJ, so that means you have to support one forum members views where reasonable...so this has got nothing to do with personal life choices like who you date or how you should be spending your salary At least my views can be justified and explained and are based on current and historical metrics, even if you disagree at least my views are logical Sounds like we are having an WoT US Election Thread.... election. And Bruce is running. Then allow me to nominate another outspoken forum member, WoD. WoD vs Bruce for the philosophical presidency of the WoT forum. I can't wait for the debate! This post really made me laugh
