My friend I'm sure everyone appreciates your insight but haven't you realized this thread isn't really about journalism ( well maybe it once use to be )...its the eternal battleground on these forums where we debate issues of SJ ...and we love it despite the heated exchanges I stick with the topic, feel free to do otherwise. Okay...." lets discuss the state of Journalism "

Do you get a such a thing in the USA as an Asian Hispanic ? I think they should just let you choose all that apply since Brazilians are Latinos but they aren't technically Hispanic. (I sound like a SJW) Do you get a such a thing in the USA as an Asian Hispanic ?

Angry Joe LOVED Pillars Of Eternity

Yeah, neither was Chernobyl No. God no. PoE didn't strip naked its gameplay in order to spend its small budget on voiced protagonists and cinematics. PoE didn't skimp on its level design work in order to give us a good narrative on a shoestring budget. PoE didn't look at its small budget and say: "Ok, we're going to have to make due with 4 maps, no race choices, no choice and consequence, and an unfinished storyline." But that all being said, I'm not ready to blame DA2's crappiness on Low budgets and time restrictions. Instead I'll blame it on mis-management of time and money. If they were looking at such an low budget, then why did they Overhaul the combat system, overhaul the art design, overhaul the UI, and overhaul just about everything else from DA:O? Wouldn't logic (and plain old good business sense) disctate that if they were pressed for time, and short on cash, that they'd just leave everything as it is and just plug a new story into the game? After all, DA:O was no failure. It was their biggest selling game. You see Stun thats why if you had appreciated and participated in Romance arcs more you would have enjoyed DA2, that's a good example of Romance enhancing the RPG experience -

Its not that bad, its entertaining not amazing so you really should play it. Just don't be too critical about the obvious shortcuts like the reused dungeon designs Plus you will get to Romance the lovely and vivacious Isabela -
You could not have found a less even handed source if you tried. Why do you say that? I dont much about the website it just was the first thing Yahoo search found but that webpage does contain links from George R R Martin himself so I assume you aren't questioning that?

"didnt find proof of Russian aggression " You not still telling us that Russia has not been involved in the Ukrainian conflict....I thought we had moved past that? The negotiations are basically between Russia, certain Western countries and the Ukrainian government so even Russia has admitted it is instrumental in the conflict http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-02-10/ukraine-cease-fire-negotiations-continue-as-does-the-fighting http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/as-ukraine-peace-negotiations-continue-war-intensifies/2015/02/12/e81403c4-b27f-11e4-886b-c22184f27c35_story.html

Oh....I never realised there were that many Ukrainians in Canada. How are they, do they assimilate nicely into Canadian culture?

Here is a summary http://www.themarysue.com/hugo-awards-george-rr-martin/ Its really just more GG hyperbole about " SJW destroying everything we use to hold dear..and unchangeable " Apparently you missed my previous link about the subject. It really was an excellent article where he makes great points and i highly suggest that you read it Sure, I will read it I am not going to get into a debate about this now because I have been debating various issues this whole week and to be honest I am a little fatigued...but I will read it

Waaaaaaaa...." George RR Martin has betrayed me " waaaaaaaaaa ( I have to be honest I am quite partial to some Volorisms and waaaaaaaaa being my favorite ) Its okay Volo at least you won't " cut your nose off to spite your face " and now not watch the Game of Thrones. I am same as you in some respects and will play GTAV despite some of the criticism leveled against it

Could you give an example of someone who isn't a bigot and who refers to people as unnatural? No, but I don't recall anyone being called unnatural; I recall an activity being called unnatural. Namutree I consider you are a rationale person so I'm missing your reasoning on this one What activity is unnatural? A man having sex with another man ..or a man having sex with a transgender person ? Neither. It was a different user whom suggested that man/man homosexuality was unnatural. I actually argued that it is natural, but I also argued with Serdan as to whether saying man/man homosexuality was unnatural is bigoted. EDIT: It has been an exceptionally productive use of my time if I say so myself. Okay yes thats what I thought you said. I do think it is bigotry to say that because if you have a situation when you have a gay man in a relationship with a transgender ( or another gay man) person and the relationship is completely consensual then how can anyone say that relationship is unnatural ? Think about it, two people in love with each other being told " this is wrong ...this is unnatural ". Yet the two people are perfectly fine with it Bigotry is basically a prejudice and intolerance towards something so by saying " its unnatural " you are creating a negative view of something perfectly normal...and that normal event is a relationship. It just happens to be two men in that relationship I hope this makes sense

How evil for Obsidian to not magically be able to read his mind and preferences. The devils! Volo really highlights the issue, he is making assumptions similar to " why the limerick was changed " and how " offended Firedorn should be because of pressure from SJW " Yet Firedorn is actually fine with that, I'll repeat that "firedorn is fine with that " yet people keep presuming to say " what an outrage it was " Also why do some people keep using comparisons to the animal kingdom when it comes to dismissing homophobia. Humans are sentient beings who make there own decisions based on numerous factors like intellect and our conscience , we don't use benchmarks like " so what does my dog think about my investment in this stock market " Yet when it comes to homosexuality suddenly the animal kingdom becomes our way of gauging if its acceptable ? Weird what some people will do when justifying bigotry ( and Namutree this doesn't apply to you )

I mentioned earlier that I am in Cape Town for work, at the moment there is a movement going on at the Rhodes University for removal of the Cecil John Rhodes Statue which has now happened http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-32236922 Initially I had sympathy for the movement and students as I thought " these are bornfree's (people born outside of Apartheid )and they just want to create identity for themselves and these statues represent a colonial past " But yesterday after the statue was removed the students started chanting " one bullet one settler" which means in a South African context "death to white people " So the entire movement is just a grandstanding effort and basically a " white people must die and leave the country " ...so the movement has lost credibility and integrity for me Also what the students have been saying is considered hate speech from a legal South African perspective so some of the students will be charged ..which is good. This whole development has really annoyed me
