And the ones who do pay her are largely satisfied with it, so where exactly is the problem? She does make certain cogent points, that cannot be denied

So what about a game like Hatred ? Where the developers say they created it because they are tired of everyone being politically correct but in fact the game is just about gratuitous violence and certain people will buy the game just because large sectors of society are appalled by it and criticize it? Are you guys fine with this type of game ? Sure, it's a boring premise, but basically it's what people do in GTA once they've exhausted missions and other content. If they want to bait hand wringers, then they are free to do so. Yeah I suppose you are right, I can't dispute your logic on this matter

I'm going to be honest and say I don't know, I watch 4 major international news channels and only CNN mentioned it briefly...which is weird because normally this type of story is on Al-Jazeera at least...it may be now so I will check

Here advanced course to spoken Finnish... * Links were meant to only for Meshugger who in my knowledge knows Finnish and lives in Finland, which is why he referenced largest Finnish Newspaper , when he said that he didn't find any news about the conflict. ** Also i made English summary of those news in my post before those links *** Sorry the of topic Finland needs to abolish finnish and change it back to the swedish like the one Snellman talked. Just like God intended. Finnish can be a curiosity like Gaelic. @ Meshugger Do you and Elerond both live in Helsinki?

Yes I am not saying they shouldn't be allowed to create it, I am more interested in what people think about the caliber of this type of game. Why is there Horror-movies? Why is there Death Metal? It's a mystery i tell you. That's not a bad comparison...and it got me thinking But is a low budget and excessively gory horror movie the same as a game that people produce? They are similar but are they the same thing...I guess the main difference being the game is much more interactive and you get to determine the story as opposed to sitting and watching or listening to something...I'm just not sure if this is relevant ?

There is nothing wrong or to be embarrassed about when it comes to male nudity I support your request\demand

Good points raised TN

Guys seriously...if you are not watching Salem then you simply are just not living Its on Season 2

I am confused by your confusement. In the poster that was thrown in the thread, Faith from Mirrors Edge is taking a side. IIRC, EA had Anita Sarkeesian as a creative consultant on how to remodel Faith in Mirror's Edge 2. How did you feel about that on personal level? Do you think Anita is justified in this case or do you think her intentions are misplaced? I realize it's not directed at me, but honestly they should have picked another woman to do it. Anita just screams that they're trying to capitalize on a PR stunt, and a lot of Anita's work is honestly misleading at best. Bring Jane Austen back from the dead, or pick somebody from the industry who feels that there is sexism in the workplace. Not some random outsider who's only known because her views are... controversial to say the least. Sure, I can understand that perspective. I think its unfair to label Anita ( or most person ) a certain way due to past comments or events but the reality is there are people who will automatically dismiss anything she says even if it is valid..yet I can also justify where some of the criticism comes from towards her

You kidding right? I never know when you are being serious .. It's intentional, or at least to 40%. It keeps people on edge and it tingles their paranoidal senses. Which is good as that requires people to think harder than before. Or maybe not. Maybe it is just an experiment in Jungian psychology. But what moral decree do democrats swear upon that republicans lack? Is it the one when they chose to side with the southern states before the civil war and were pro-slavery? Or was it the one when Johnson signed the civil rights bill? Or was it the one when Ron Paul demanded all military bases to withdrawn from the middle east? Or was it the one when Obama extended the Patriot Act? Or was it the one when he demanded JSOC to attack globally, causing 2000 innocent deaths in assassin missions that we know of as collateral deaths? What is morally good here? Look at you ...getting all technical with me No I was just joking, you generally cannot say any one political party has the moral high ground over another one . In fact many people would argue that words " moral politics" are an oxymoron because many think politics is an immoral practice. I don't think that but I hear that many times So its not really applicable to look at political parties in a moral context, we measure them in other ways

Yeah certain characters represent something symbolically so even though they aren't real they become a talking point

You kidding right? I never know when you are being serious .. Its a simple understanding...any political view or direction that is opposed to all the improvements that Obama in the USA is automatically considered morally bankrupt and needs to be scrutinized Get with the program Meshugger, everyone knows that !!!!

If it's Paul I can assure you we'll have a deal with Iran pretty quickly. The guy likes our situation with Iran less than Obama. Any other republican though? That's a different story. If Paul isn't the GOP nominee I might have to vote.. Democrat... :( I guess at that point I wouldn't vote at all. Vote Democrat Namutree, you will sleep better at night knowing you made the right moral decision

Its important to have a functional and well funded army...what if ISIS invades the USA through Mexico, this should concern all Americans immensely Well another bill mentioned in the email I got from Mrs Earnst, they're pushing the bill to force the President to allow congress to approve or veto any deals with Iran... and to arm and train the Kurds in Iraq to combat Isis (Or any closely related successor group.) Well I can understand the reasoning behind training the Kurds, they are pro-Western and seem really prepared to engage with ISIS. They just need training and resources But the Iran bill worries because what if after all the hard word that Obama does to ensure a peaceful settlement with Iran gets undermined by the next USA president who could be Republican?

Seems a bit strange that GG would have any women as a mascot considering how the movement feels about women and treats them ?

50 were identified as far as I'm hearing and there were trained at that. They were smuggled from Kosovo and put in to hiding in the city until the conflict started. This was no armature hour operation and the scary thing is that there was one suicide bomber. Finnish news say that there are 30 people that got charged for terrorism from which 18 was Kosovo's Albanians, because of last weekends violence. They also mention that 22 people got killed in clashes that lasted over day, and it is mentioned that 8 of the dead were police officers. Where? hs.fi didn't have anything...

No one speaks Finnish on these forums...you know that , that language is just impossible to understand

Wow GG sure has load of enemies.....you guys really don't know how to make friends do you ?

Well the same thing can be said for, say, the overwhelming majority of your fellow human beings, yet their existence is generally not portrayed as a problem. I may be missing something here. No that is a solid point, I would like to see how the boys respond

Blacklist is amazing. Seasons 1 and 2 were simply outstanding, can't wait for the release of season 3. The Following was cancelled after season 3 (although there are rumours of it being picked up by Netflix or someone else). Yeah I stopped watching The Following after season 1 But Penny Dreadful season two is out now and as before its excellent

Volo don't be naive, we need governments or there will be anarchy throughout society. And no one wants that
