  1. Because people are sick of them. Anyway, PoE is still in the top Ten on Steam, that includes a new BIG release and a big sale on south park and some youtube deal with gtaV maybe, so far it´s doing goog. I would say let Obsidian come out when they are ready to say the sales and what they can do with money. Speculating is fun, but also pointless :D If you are sick of people who care about social justice, you should probably stop supporting Obsidian and their products, as they in fact do care about such things. Don't worry thought, I will buy an extra copy of their games because I do think it is important. QFT I am also not sick of SJ discussions and I still care very much about them....people just make a mountain out of molehill when it comes to most SJ causes You guys have no idea how long I have actively been involved in supporting various SJ causes and most of the time the outrage and venting opposed to SJ endeavors is just not warranted or is completely exaggerated Its like a knee-jerk reaction
  2. What's the real difference anyways? Anarcho-Capitalist is pretty much Neo-feudalism. No, it isn't. Neo-feudalism is pretty much what we've got going on in much of the western world right now. Semantics Vals ....semantics Why do you folk who live in first world countries always try to discombobulate issues? You do realize that you don't have to address the fallout from these types of debates? Now I will have to deal with people who will say things like " the reason I haven't achieved economic emancipation is because we are living in a Neo-Feudalistic society" Not that anyone, including myself, knows what that even means and how applicable it is to a lack of social transformation
  3. Unacceptable !!!! Banned from the forums immediately You beat me to it General. Ever vigilant as always. Perhaps we should be lenient. He has in good faith admitted his transgression to us. Agreed, we need to show understanding in this matter because he admitted he has a problem...of course empires have been destroyed for similar comments but we are more reasonable

    Hey Oby!

    Sorry to break it to ya Bruce but currently the biggest global threats are US, NATO and Saudi-backed ISIS. Not Iran. Not Assad. Not North Korea. Not even Russia or China who tend to mind their own business. Oh don't misunderstand me, I don't think the likes of ISIS are a global threat but that doesn't mean they aren't a very disruptive force to the Middle East and other regions And a real sectarian conflict between Sunnis and Shia, which is what ISIS wants, in the Middle East would have serious consequence for the whole world because of the impact to the oil supply..prices would skyrocket this alone should be reason enough that ISIS needs to be defeated But once again we are on opposite sides of the types of comments that say things like " Russia minds its own business" . This is patently untrue, there annexing of regions in Georgia and Ukraine clearly dispute this view. In fact they have demonstrated a very imperialistic and jingoistic attitude in recent years ....so Russia is doing many things but minding there own business is not one of them
  6. Good points raised Volo, you shouldn't play PoE at all...I'll give you regular updates around my experience
  7. I love all sausages. German, British, Hungarian, Polish...you name it I eat them all We have a well established sausage industry in South Africa so we are spoilt for choice From my travels I am leaning towards the Eastern Europeans as having overall the best sausages like the Polish and Hungarian varieties
  8. Huh? What don't we know, are you saying Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and his brother aren't responsible ? I think he clearly said "we don't know" Yes and I clearly said " what don't we know " Even the lawyer for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has admitted he is responsible but his defense argument is that he was under the influence of his brother but there is no doubt he was involved so I am missing this view that says " we don't know "

  10. http://edition.cnn.com/2015/04/08/us/boston-marathon-bombing-trial/index.html Salutations All So we all know the circumstances surrounding this horrific event. Personally I find this terrorist attack especially heinous and craven considering where it happened and the jury has found Dzhokhar Tsarnaev guilty of all 30 charges But the question is " should he receive the death sentence" ? A life for a life, some will argue its the suitable punishment but for me I have my reservations about the death sentence but I am undecided on this incident I reserve my opinion until I hear other views, there is a argument that says a civil and advanced society should never take anyone's life as a life sentence in prison is a fitting punishment but others may disagree
  11. Shady you have become soft, what would your ancestors think? You do realize that there is only one solution...you need to take a weeks leave and go somewhere like the Grand Canyon and stay in a cave but the rules are you cannot use a tent or take food...you need to hunt and fish. That should remind you of your love of the outdoors
  12. Well I suppose you can always set up a tent outside the RV to make the experience more authentic ? You could put a tent up in your living room, but it doesn't make it camping. I kid, I kid. Seriously though, I have no interest in camping unless the post-apocalyptic wastelands are on us. And I still wouldn't have an interest in camping amid the radiation, radscorpions and killer mutant critters with a taste for flesh, but might not have any say in the matter at that point.1 1Awww, who am I kidding, I'll be killer mutant critter chow within minutes of the post-apocalypse happening - I'd never survive long enough to sleep under the irradiated sky. You funny
  13. I hope so. No, it's a freak show on parade and a glaring example of why the West is in decline. You think the solution is to follow Russia which has implemented Homophobic laws? Would following Russia make the West stronger ?
  14. I read it as an outside of the local area LGBT group came in trying to stir something up, the local gay population told them they didn't want any part of it, the outside group left. You right that could be what he meant, I just don't believe it The LGBT community faces enough discrimination on a daily faces from people who push a homophobic agenda I find it hard to believe they would discriminate against themselves like that especially in a place like Poland which is relatively conservative about gay rights anyway. I would think the LGBT community would stick together but you never know
  15. Well I suppose you can always set up a tent outside the RV to make the experience more authentic ?
  16. Yeah I have to say that the idea of using an RV while camping also resonates with me
  17. Okay that video was really good and it made me hungry I see that cook says you mustn't prick the skin, I always do because then the steam can escape and there is less chance of the sausage splitting ?
  18. Link? I saw the press conference and no one was screaming at anyone. For a change, the mayor and police chief should be commended. Far too often, when stuff like this happens the mayor and police chief try and justify murder, if not help cover up the incident. There were several disruptions when people shouted at the Police Chief, he even said at one time he was going to end the interview but he continued Link or it didn't happen. I watched the interview on Sky on the TV but I'll see if I can find a podcast or something similar No sure what Valsuelm was watching but the crowd did shout out when the Police Chief was talking (not during the Mayor's address though) ..... I'm not sure I would call it screaming but there were disruptions .... http://www.abcnews4.com/story/28743212/live-now-on-abc-news-4-police-release-details-on-officer-involved-shooting About 8 mins in there were cries from the crowd of "No Justice" while the Chief was talking .... Yes this is exactly what I saw, thanks for the link with the video ...I couldn't find one
  19. There is no LGBT community in my area. Gay people kicked them out when they wanted to start some protests or whatever. I'm talking in general. Just look at the OP. Bashing me for having an opinion. Well not personally, but if "white heterosexual males shouldn't speak" or "kill all men" shouldn't offend me personally then neither should my rants about LGBT in general or the limerick in PoE as those are not aimed at specific person. As for the vicious circle, I'm not a big fan of turning the other cheek. In fact most people aren't. What LGBT is building up is a mass hate that will eventually turn bloody. And innocent homosexuals etc. that are not part of and don't want to be a part of LGBT movements will get killed. That's how people are. What do you mean Gay people kicked them out ? The word LGBT stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender How can Gay people kick themselves out of your area? Believe it or not Bruce, not all gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender people agree with all that the various 'LGBT movement' groups say or do in their name. In fact, most gay people I personally know disagree with a great deal of what they say and do, some quite vehemently. It's not unlike the fact that a great deal of black people don't agree with what the Rainbow Coalition or NAACP says or does in their name. Or the fact that a lot of older people don't agree with what the AARP says and does in their name. Yes I am well aware of that but the suggestion that some Gay people are going to forcibly remove\kick-out other Gay people from an area I find hard to believe

  22. Nice those are my favorite hikes, just a day but a good full day

  24. Just because they have become accustomed to the discrimination doesn't make it right. Referring to someone as "it", regardless of the reason, is 100% dehumanizing and uncalled for. Unless youre purposely trying to be rude to them? Most of LGBT individuals tend to change their favorite term for themselves so often that any sane person stopped bothering with correct terms long time ago. Also I'm not obligated to be pleasant to any person. And I'm especially not gonna be pleasant to any person that have a problem with me based on my race and/or gender by default. You seem to know a lot about the LGBT community? I assume you have lots of gay friends....got to be honest that surprises me as you generally come across as a bigot on most topics .
  25. How long and far is the hike? Do you camp and pitch a tent or are there cabins you use, I love hiking but only for 2 days at most
