  1. Correct. Now here is the problem. As the Secretary of State every e-mail she sends in the performance of her duties becomes the property of the United States Government the instant she hits "send". Every correspondence involving the business of the United States is subject to oversight by the Congress and appropriate law enforcement agencies, as well as FOI requests once the appropriate time has passed. But the e-mails on her private server that she has ADMITTED she used for the business of the United States are beyond the reach of the agencies of the government that they BELONG to. And when she was directed to produce those messages, she deleted them. http://www.cnn.com/2015/03/27/politics/hillary-clinton-personal-email-server/ Do you see the problem here Bruce? The reason she used a private e-mail server to do the business of the United States was so she could do so in secret. What do you suppose she was trying to hide? She is not stupid. She knows who her e-mails belong to. Good Lord it was explained to me on my first day of work at my job that every e-mail I send, every study I write, every notebook page I put my pen to immediately becomes the property of the State of TN. If the lowest ranking engineer from the TDEC understands this don't you think the Secretary of State of the United States does? So, what us she trying to hide? Because there can be no other logical explanation. Now, the classified information thing I told you to forget a moment ago... add that back in. Now where are we? Okay I see your concern, its not unreasonable
  2. Clearly Vals measurement of a good leader is someone who drives the economy of country into the ground .....makes sense
  3. Well there are numerous reasons for having your own email server, for example if you wanted to use a gmail or yahoo account and not use the resources of a company you work for you could use a private server or you can setup your own private domain with your own SMTP address...and you would want to do this because it could be personal emails not government emails you sending What are your reasons ? You are evading or misunderstanding my question. Why do you think Hillary Clinton used a private e-mail account to conduct State Department business? She has admitted she has done this much. Why do YOU think she would do that? Well she may have just been familiar with using her private address, yes in principle she should use her government email to discuss anything related to the department but if someone gets an email from Hilary Clinton from her private email why wouldn't they respond normally ? So it could have been a bad habit A person could also use a private email if they want less accountability around what they want to say or any instructions or discussions they may have and they dont want an official email trail or monitoring. Obviously any email sent from an official US email server would be under scrutiny
  4. No the two examples are not suppose to be similar but the principle is similar So despite my criticism of Trump much of the really negative things he has says I can't say " he knew this was going to happen " ...its the same as I can say about Clinton " you cannot say she intentionally broke the law "

  6. Geez, can you move the goal posts any further? So If I list a whole list of SJW games released in 2016 not related to BG, that somehow proves my point? Not that I would do that because it's irrelevant to BG. Just like all the games you listed aren't relevant to BG. I would love to see your list of SJW games?
  7. Yeah that would be a little controversial if the FBI chief resigned ....imagine if he just vanished, that would be even worse
  8. Yeah, the whole article is worthless spin. Unnamed, anonymous US officials say "no evidence that Hillary wilfully broke the law" is not the same as "no evidence that Hillary broke the law, at all". Pro Clinton people will say there won't be charges right up until the point the issue is actually decided publicly, that's just the nature of being pro Clinton. "Willfully broke the law" sounds like lawyer-speak. You can probably twist and turn it depending on the level of accountability involved. Well the article cannot be considered " worthless spin " if the FBI decides she has no charges to face, in fact to suggest the legal outcome of this whole incident is just spin is a pointless comment because the whole outcome was " would she be charged " But also guys of course there is a difference between someone who knows they breaking the law and someone who may not be aware that there behavior is illegal ? It reminds me of the numerous times I have said things like " Trump is responsible for the level of violence and protests at his rallies ".....but I cannot say with certainty that Trump actually expected this outcome and many of you guys feel he should not feel responsible at all So back to Hilary, I dont believe she thought she was doing anything illegal, I'm not sure if any of the FBI findings will become available for public scrutiny so this entire debate is very subjective as it really depends on how you view her So then if we have no way to see the real evidence then surly we need to trust the FBI has investigated this case and made a fair finding 1. I'll wait for the report to be concluded and an official announcement from FBI. 2. As i have pointed out before, it doesn't matter when an elected official or someone holding public office does something willfully or not. They are accountable either way and that's when the lawyers step in. And if the lawyer steps in and the legal process finds them innocent....do we now accept that? So who is the final arbiter when it comes to apparent wrong doings by any politicians ?

  10. Why what am I missing? And I haven't read the books but its suppose to be an RPG so does it really matter if I dont stick to the original Witcher themes?
  11. Yes I agree...the cards were just a bad design idea But now the whole Romance arcs in W3 are more realistic and believable and take time to develop ...I do sorry for Geralt on some levels. He find Yen his true love (?) and she promptly sends him on this hectic quest...what about the " lovvvvvvvvvve " Yen? In my game I have just met up with Triss...she rocks, she is very awesome. If I was Geralt I would settle down with her
  12. We've done that already here: http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/63035-family-issues/?hl=%2Bfamily+%2Bissues lol, fair enough. Back to topic though, the Trump phenomenon is a simple reaction to demographic and economic changes that has occured the last 40 years (globalism vs. nationalism) in the US and western world at large and it will not disappear by labeling him on an "ism" and call it a day, as those accusations are superfluous compared to the problems arised. You raise some interesting points So lets say I agree with you...what exactly is Trump going to do to to address this " demographic and economic changes that has occured the last 40 years " Please give specific examples of what you expect to see
  13. Volo....please lets go over this again, Trump is very sexist Must I post the whole Megyn Kelly video again?
  14. You also live in a place where "ethnic" violent crime is unusual. Where you live most crime has an economic motive. It's a little bit of a different story when a insular ethnic group begins comitting violent crimes and the police are ordered to back off and let it happen. The order is not in those many words but the outcome is the same. The problem here is that when criminal behavior is not punished and steps are not taken to prevent it from law enforcement which is supposed to be dispassionate it will be done by the "people" who cannot be dispassionate. Then the ugly things like blaming all immigrants for the crimes of a few start to happen. I haven't looked into it much, but are these Sons of Odin types really even forming in communities that have a lot of immigrants or Muslims? I mean, neo-nazi groups tend to form in places that are predominantly white and poor. Are they a neo-nazi group? They claim they aren't. The only proof I saw in that article that they are is that some of it's members are KKK and Neo-nazis. And so, that makes it somewhat better? They are a hate group. Period. Trump's words are xenophobic and sexist. He is a narcissist pig who cares more about building his brand than responsible governance or debate. He is the least qualified presumptive major party nominee for the office of the President and his very candidacy is bringing out the worst in America to come out of the woodwork --inspiring hate groups that explicitly target minorities with real and tangible threats. I agree with this and as I keep mentioning he isn't great for how the US is perceived by people overseas ( and yes I know most of you guys in the US say you dont care what foreigners think but its a global world and these things do matter on some levels and around certain geopolitical realities )
  15. Inclusiveness... iirc Bioware also offered a Goat in 'The Peal' Yeah, I remember those collectible cards. I haven't completed a Witcher game since the first one. Wonder why? I must still get into Gwent in W3
  16. So...we do realize that game developers aren't exactly buying into the whole political correctness movement, right? The Witcher 3 didn't exactly sacrifice all the boob action from the first game, and it sold extremely well. You still get to kill all sorts of different types of people in shooters, etc. 2) devs are from east Europe, we here don't bait into that SJW concept here much, its just catering to US marked where it exploded lately You funny I still think you view this whole " SJW influence " in an unnecessarily negative way
  17. Sorry to hear that TN I hope everything works out
  18. Thats a long video but I think I will watch it, thanks for the link But just to be clear can you explain what you mean by "anarcho-capitalist "..what exactly does this ? He believes that the state should be replaced with voluntary private corporations serving the free market, Which just sounds like nonsense to me. You would essentially have competing private police forces all enforcing their own laws, competing private judiciaries. It would be like if large population centres operated like the old American West. Oh wait a minute...who are referring to when you say anarcho-capitalist " Do you mean me or Stefan Molyneux?
  19. I love the DOJ comment that they believe she didn't "willfully" violate the law. I have two thoughts on that: So it wasn't malice or trying to hide something, it was just incompetence. Yeah, that's much better for a potential President. If a cop pulled me over for speeding and I told him I wasn't willfully speeding, do you think I'd still get a ticket? GD why do you always try annihilate and discredit the dreams and aspirations of millions of Hilary Clinton supporters ...dont be a hater But on a serious note you do raise some good points as usual but you dont have to be the cleverest or most astute person in the world to be President of any Democracy. But you do have to have in your cabinet informed, erudite and perceptive advisers who help you make the right choices. I am confident if Hilary becomes president, which is a given for me, she will be surrounded by those types of people who will advise her constructively and positively . So these types of mistakes, which are lets say caused by incompetence or misplaced focus, will be much less So I wouldnt worry if I was US citizen?
  20. I'm not sure I can sit through this video...did you read the you tube summary..he says the video discusses topics like " catastrophic economic decisions, the devaluation of the S.A. Rand, rampant price inflation, affirmative action, family structure, one of the worst education systems in the world, unemployment, Eskom’s rolling power outages, white flight, rising criminality, an astronomical murder rate, horrific rape statistics, the rampant sexual abuse of children, prevalence of HIV/AIDS, white farmer genocide, police corruption, President Jacob Zuma, the “kill the Boer” song, life expectancy, road fatalities and the untold history of Apartheid." Thats only focusing on the negative....it doesn't seem very objective ?

  22. Uh...what? Does your distaste for seeing depictions of romance only apply to gay romances, or does it apply to all romances? Cause I don't remember this level of outrage over the gross sex cards in everyone's favourite game, The Witcher 3. I mean, the game literally reduces women to collectible cards where the women pose in absurd sexually provocative poses. Is there some reason I'm missing why those are normal and fine, but a little gay sex scene is so unbearably obscene that anyone who thinks it's a good idea must have "mental issues"? If so, I hope you have a better reason than "the continued existence of gay people makes me feel uncomfortable"...but then again, that's all I've seen from you so far. Yes you know what he meant KP...lets not get pedantic The card collection process in W1 was strange...incongruous. And as I mentioned previously its important that games offer gay and straight options for things like Romance...inclusivity is the future for many games Than its good that I lived in era where fun was main pillar of games. I should stop play anyway, getting old for it I think (but I played dwarf fortress yesterday till 3am at morning ) Of course fun and entertainment must be the reason a game is developed in the first place but there is no reason we cant discuss factors like Romance as being part of the overall design of the game ...but it cant be the most important thing, Romance I feel is only part of party interaction. And what is party interaction in the overall game maybe 8 %? ...things like the narrative, exploration, questing, monster design, spells and character leveling and abilities are all more important to me than Romance
  23. http://www.politicususa.com/2016/05/05/email-scandal-crushed-fbi-finds-evidence-clinton-broke-law-private-email.html I'm very glad it appears we can finally put the matter of " Hilary Clinton is a criminal and is going to jail " at rest The investigation is still ongoing but its about to wrap-up and in summary "Hillary Clinton has said from the beginning of this Republican created scandal that she did nothing wrong, and the FBI is on their way to finding that she was telling the truth " Lets now focus on the substantive issues that will determine who will be the next US president ....go Hilary
  24. This seems really unnecessary..sorry guys I just think this type of initiative is more divisive than helpful Shouldn't I be scared of these guys? I would be. But then I tend to look like whatever (light brown) race that people want to project onto me and I've had a run in with some minutemen militia types once upon a time. Shady I'm also very interested in these types of stories, if you dont mind sharing what happened in your encounter with minutemen militia? Where was it, who are these people from an outsiders perspective ( I have read about them but I have never actually met someone in RL who represents them ) And if you can share as much details as possible that would be great

My self preservation instincts and situational awareness tend to spike up a bit whenever groups openly talk about the threat of inflicting violence on my person based on their myopic perception of what I could hypothetically be doing to their people or property. Leferd sorry I thought you were joking when you asked " should I be scared " ...my bad I may be missing something but what would you be worried about, is it literally this type of group using racial profiling to harass you on the streets or openly attack you ?
