This video is pathetic, all his childish generalizations about " SJW" are based on the worst behavior by " SJW " and he basically shows the same behavior that he claims to be opposed to He is homophobic, crude and obnoxious ....and he targets that annoying women as the face of Feminism, I cant think of a more insulting way to describe people who support gender equality than to compare them to her. I would be hard pressed to find someone who is more unlikely that represents what feminism stands for ..but somehow that guy finds some spurious similarity But it doesn't surprise me you find this funny

Completely meaningless argument unless you can provide reasons in themselves why anyone should take heed of what the people of Paris or Berlin thinks over what the people of the streets of Moscow say. Not meaningless at all. Its actually quite simple because its about the reality of how well a certain leader has done in running a country overall Putin has a very high approval rating in Russia yet the Russian economy is in a recession and Putin has mismanaged economic growth....yet he is still popular So if the average Russian citizen thinks Putin is a great leader and they think Trump is a good leader they either don't understand or care about economic metrics and how they reflect on a leaders true success So in summary if your economy is in a recession this is a bad thing, it doesn't matter if you have a strong military or if you control the domestic media narrative and the citizens "think you great " or " its the fault of the West for our financial situation " This is about the economic reality of any country and how the citizens hold there leaders responsible for that economic reality

Yes Bruce, we get it. Turkey is a NATO member so the Muslim-Putin can do as he pleases while we sort of have to oppose the real Putin because it is tradition. Not to mention that we wouldn't need to let ourselves be blackmailed by Turkey if Germany hadn't messed up Greece so much that they just can't control their borders at all, and not for a lack of wanting. So anyway once the deal with Turkey is fully underway we'll just have a massive influx of legal Turkish unskilled immigrants instead of a massive influx of unskilled refugees from Syria and Afghanistan (and those at least could be legally deported once they are denied asylum). Sounds about right. Surely that is much better than the current situation. Okay well thats one way of looking at this, in a very negative way But surly " unskilled Turkish immigrants " is something the EU is use to...isn't that better than immigrants coming from countries like Iraq, Syria, Sudan etc. The EU is use to Turkish immigrants? He meant that the the same "refugees" that will be shipped off to Turkey will come back with Turkish passports instead. But thats not how the EU\Turkey deal is suppose to work or is structured People sent back to Turkey end up at the back of the line to now wait to get into the EU and only real Turkish citizens end up being sent to the EU Can you produce any credible links to support your criticism because if what you saying is true it would indeed make the whole agreement moot

Takes one to know one? (; 2133 you seem very defensive around any criticism people have around some reviews and opinions on SoD? Why...your review seemed to be objective and was relatively well received ? But I'm sure you can appreciates Nep's opinion that there is degree of unreasonable negativity from some gamers towards certain development studios and games. I do think at times we tend to criticize because we want games to be like we remember them...and we need to separate nostalgia from inclusiveness when we judge games nowadays For me its a mixed bag of modern success stories, for example I am absolutely loving Witcher 3 and its right up there as one of the best RPG I have ever played but I haven't played an Isometric RPG that was as good as BG2 : TOB

There is some irony there I agree I am on leave for the next 2 days and because Monday is a public holiday I have a nice long weekend now

https://www.yahoo.com/news/russia-love-why-kremlin-backs-trump-132620811.html?ref=gs You know any candidate has a serious problem around credibility when Putin supports them unreservedly, I was watching a news clip on CNN and they were interviewing people on the streets of Moscow. People were saying things like " we think Trump is a wise and bold leader " ....apparently Russia is the ONLY country where most people, outside the USA, see Trump in a favorable light

We should welcome all types of personalities, we need the eccentric and the idiosyncratic..yes a menagerie of various perspectives is exactly what makes a forum strong..and yes we need oby

Guys I am constantly surprised by this anti-Turkey rhetoric, the West considers Turkey of important strategic value and it is So when I have heard these "doom and gloom " assessments about how NATO views Turkey they are generally wrong. For example When the Russian jet was shot down by Turkey this was " definitely the end of the Turkey contribution towards anti-ISIS coalition " " Turkey is funding ISIS..why is the West so stoooopid " , also an exaggeration around how much support Turkey actually gives ISIS Everything the EU and NATO has done for Turkey is because Turkey is an important player in the region..this is an irrefutable fact. For example The new refugee swap program when migrants are sent back to Turkey The fact Turkey is one of the major places refugees can get into the EU ...so whether the EU funds Turkey or supports them politically its in the best interest of the EU to ensure that Turkey stays a friend to the West so that Turkey can address some of the hard and morally questionable work required to keep as many immigrants out of the EU as humanly possible Yes Erdogan has clamped down on basic human rights, many of his views are concerning but his positions around domestic policy are not enough to now make " Turkey an enemy of the West "

Don't think that's gonna happen. There's no reason for Sanders to drop out of the race before California unless his campaign runs out of money. Hillary didn't drop out in '08 until the Primaries were over, even though she had virtually no chance of winning. Sanders can still campaign on his core messages and keep Clinton "honest" by forcing her to acknowledge the base rather than veering center. She may have to more strongly consider Elizabeth Warren as her potential running mate, although the presumptive favorite --Julian Castro would be a strong choice. The question is...will she double down on a strategy to consolidate her base for the general election and go on the strength of a united Democratic front, or go center and try to take voting moderate Republicans and #NeverTrump stalwarts. Good points raised, I may not support all Sanders policies but I think he genuinely means well when he talks about a " more equatable and fair USA " It would be nice though if he did step down in the interests of Democratic unity but you right, people don't step down unless its really at a point where the numbers are against them Here is a good link that discusses the reality of the Sanders campaign http://www.refinery29.com/2016/04/108952/can-bernie-sanders-still-win-nomination-election-2016

Guys today is a public holiday in South Africa, its Freedom Day https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_Day_(South_Africa) Basically this is the day we had our first multiracial election and its significant and memorable....then on Monday its Workers Day https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Workers%27_Day Another public holiday, so I'm planning on taking tomorrow and Friday off to get a long weekend ..

Another series of wins for the Clinton campaign, very good news For all Sanders supporters I think Hilary summarized the Democratic view when she said "To all the people who supported Senator Sanders, I believe there is much more than unites us than divides us.” So once Sanders decides to step-down out of the race the majority of Democrats should support Clinton to ensure a Clinton presidency and a united Democrat force to defeat Trump

Latest season of Banshee is out, season 4 is brutal, enthralling and always dark......like I mean always dark This season has a real Satanic cult....human sacrifices and all that, its not for the fainthearted

Yes I agree...where is Oby anyway? So I think this thread was suppose to be some sort of surreptitious attack on me but its been very entertaining

Okay thanks GD ..monosyllable responses always clear things up I find Technically that's not monosllablic... Neither has two syllables. So... Went up to visit my friends back in ames. Ended up stopping at a rest stop between Des Moines and Ames... and spent 15 minutes talking to a guy about his Ferrari 458 that he was driving between Texas and Minnisota. Apparently those things don't have any form of cruise control. Did get me thinking about getting my credential and just working as a history teacher instead of busting my ass in customer service for another 30 years. But I don't know where to start to get the credential, or how to pay for that given I'd have to give up my current income to do it. https://scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xaf1/v/t1.0-9/13000255_10204620626474186_5909196698572191045_n.jpg?oh=17ed2475a5ea73e203828f041c5278c4&oe=57A6497D https://scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/13012791_10204620626634190_6311267196549398445_n.jpg?oh=7bf62528ed7984fa46bfefd9db1341e2&oe=57ADE64B The car in question. you right its not monosllablic.. But GD knows what I mean

I know you aren't trying to offend me and I appreciate the feedback. You not the first person to make these types of points so there is truth to it So i know my grammar is bad and I notice the spaces but it just seems like its unnecessary to go back and change it because to be honest this is a gaming forum...and of course I want to be understood which I generally am...so to go back and make changes would waste time? And at work I use spellcheck ...and I have become lazy on these forums

It's a position I'd hold for only a few moments. Just long enough to fire most of the moderators, not replace them, and then dissolve my position. *A bunch of nonsense requiring a complete misinterpretation of what is written above* You should smoke less weed. This is not the first post where you've entirely misunderstood me, and responded in a manner where you imagine I wrote things I didn't and ignore what I did. I've seen you do it with others quite often as well. Possibly more often than not. That said. You're 41? For your sake I had hoped you were in your early 20s for awhile now, as you act less mature and more petty than many teenagers and even a few pre-teens I've known. At 41 you're more than likely a hopeless case. 41 year old SJWs are quite rare in the U.S., perhaps they are common in SA, I do not know. Alas. Either way, weed or not, your reading comprehension skills are lacking. Do something to fix them please. Vals you constantly do this. You make a statement, like the Mods aren't doing there jobs, and you are incapable of supporting your own view Then you resort to personal attacks because you feel insecure ...first I was insane, then cognitive dissonance and now its my age and me being a 41 SJW , next it will be sexual orientation ...you remind me of LK and his antics, he also cant have a debate with me without insulting me, its this bizarre compulsion But you cant ask me to stop smoking weed because how else would I be able to debate with you....I dont think I could handle the level of inconsistency and ignorance if I wasn't stoned Bruce, you are insane. That's no joke, nor an insult. It's an observation made after too much time engaging you in discussion and reading your thoughts. And if that offends you, be thankful I don't spend the time Longknife did, and give you more of my observations regarding you. Note, nothing I've ever said to you was ever meant to offend. I do however prefer to call spades spades. I'm quite consistent. Any inconsistency you think is there, is either you not comprehending what I'm writing, or me not fully explaining my position to you. Far more often than not it's the former in my experience. In regards to my comments on the mods in this thread, I really don't feel like wasting my time expanding on something I largely (though not totally) meant as a joke to begin with what was a response to someone else's joke, especially with someone who is so consistently daft to not only see that it was in part jest, but who also has proven again and again to not understand what I do write when I do attempt to further explain things to you. Whether you're stoned or not half the time you come here, might have something to do with it, but it's besides the point other than I will say that if I wanted to discuss things with stoned people, I'd go smoke some refer myself and sit outside under the stars with some folks, not hop on the internet. End of story. I've been on the fence for awhile with this, however considering I spent a good hour of the last two days arguing with someone I have come to the conclusion is hopelessly insane, and who knows how many hours of my life in the last couple of years, the joke is on me if I don't do it. I'm putting you on ignore Mr. VC. I truly wish you the best, but you waste far too much of my time. You're thought process is thoroughly discombobulated and you're dishonest as a result, with yourself most of all. We don't have debates Bruce, you're incapable of debating with myself or just about anyone else as you don't know what you're talking about most of the time. Some folks, myself included, just make the mistake of having some respect for you and assuming you are sane, or we just find the whole thing amusing. Any illusion of your sanity I thought you might have had has been shattered this last month or so via a number of posts you have made, and while I do find most of this amusing to a degree, the cons far outweigh the pros of engaging with you. If you feel compelled to discuss something with me, PM me. I will not be responding to you on this forum again. I suppose some might even think you lucky for that. Again, I sincerely wish you the best, and my offer for some beers still stands if you ever come to NY. What do you mean " we dont debate "...we debate all the time? But I'm disappointed you are ignoring me because I enjoy our debates but remember you are the one who has the issue about making personal attacks so the solution is simple...you can make a post without personal attacks and I will work on my etiquette?

You know what Barti you may be right about me writing garbage but people do have debates with me and do seem to understand me even if they disagree....so my posts cant all be garbage but yes you may have a point because some people just dont respond to me ? But then I made that post about asking for constructive criticism and hardly had any negative feedback? in life a person cant be expected to put in more effort than that on a forum....well to be accurate I cant be expected to. I firmly believe in the view " I dont want to waste time making posts if people dont want to debate with me"

Good day, Bruce! What shall we debate? Yes, this is exactly what I would like...we can debate without you or Vals insulting me You may be joking but this is my preferred debating etiquette. But to be honest I have been debating all night....I just need a break for a few hours so lets catch-up later ?

What if someone paid for you for everything..would you go then?

Yes but surly the goblin makes you at least think of racism...so you can play a game and think of racism in RL So its a win win for everyone? No. Goblin accuses my character of racism, not me. And if he is saying that, he is probably right. What happens in game has no relevancy to what is happening in RL. And if the setting is interesting, for me to enjoy the game, it is the same to play power mad racist piece of ****, or rainbow pissing carebear lover. It does seem a little strange and pointless to make a point about racism using a goblin....is that even a valid symbol that represents racism that people will recognize ? I would say that it actually makes the author to be racist: they are basically saying minorities are goblins. And since most goblins are evil, murderous, thieving bastards, well then I can see most people would be upset at being equated with them... Funny enough I was going to add this, in South Africa because of our past many black people would misunderstand the goblin symbolism and assume the goblin represents black people and say " why are black people being portrayed as an ugly goblin " But the author is just referring to general racism but in South Africa people generally see any issue of racism as white against black So you right...this goblin incident could be horribly misunderstood and backfire on the author where she was just trying to raise awareness

I am prepared to admit that, Kobolds are indeed cleverer than me but thats why I want to kill them as I want to be the cleverest person in the world

Okay thanks GD ..monosyllable responses always clear things up I find

Another insightful post and something I want to add to, I wouldn't have brought this up but since you did it is relevant In SA most of the strippers are indeed on drugs, they typically use a derivative of Meth called Cat..its basically an amphetamine like speed but they take lines over the course of there shift so they taking Cat for 8-12 hours every day 6 days a week The result being addiction within 3-5 months but its a psychological addiction meaning they lack confidence unless they have a line So when I go to strip clubs I treat the girls with respect and we get on well but you right, I dont have to deal with the eventual fallout Also I intentionally avoid asking them certain personal questions because the reality is I cant really help them with issues from there past...I have tried once or twice and it ended in disaster
