You are being far to modest GD, I'm sure you speak several other languages like ....Elk, Bear...maybe even Wild Boar ?

Hehe..nice argument, except that I'm not the one demanding censorship here.. And, I'm just expressing, after them, my opinion, stating that I am a little disappointed, nothing more. If you think I shouldn't do this please go ahead, I don't want to censor you.. You are demanding censorship, because you're directly comparing people who disagree with you to murderous lynch mobs and the nazis, and thus putting them outside the range of acceptable conversation, characterizing them has indulging in hate-speech (which is censored). You also don't understand what intellectual integrity means. It means being able to back up your ideas, and sticking to them when they're rational, and dropping them when they're shown to be irrational. Anyone even using the phrase "feminazi" has already given up any claim to "intellectual integrity", because he's using crude, offensive, propaganda-speech, which compares fairly harmless people to a massive evil army (bordering on a death cult) which took over Europe by violent force and exterminated millions of people. There's no intellectual integrity there. It absolutely does not mean mindlessly sticking to your guns, or worse, someone else's guns, as you seem to think it does. Good post, personally I have always found the characterizations " femnazi" and " SJF " ( social justice Fascist ) offensive and completely exaggerated and unnecessary People like myself support SJ initiatives, the last thing I am is some kind of bigot who should be associated with groups of people who committed genocide I have asked people to refrain from using such words but some people still use them. So I can really can identify with your logic

Guys I think the Op was referring to valid and accepted languages? Dutch is basically a bastardization of Afrikaans so its not really applicable in this case Ek jy nie verstaan nie. Not bad

Yeah, the irony is strong isn't it . Reminds me of the GG thread actually

Holy Smoke ..okay that is interesting. I imagine those languages are completely different. Nice one

Okay but what languages are those..I'm not sure I understand what you mean when you say they belong to a different group?

Nice, so you are a linguist. What are the languages do you speak and what languages can you also read ?

You picked the example, Bruceykins. Not my fault you picked one where the french were aiding a genocidal regime, since there are so many successful interventions to pick from (there are so many successful ones, aren't there?) you could always concede you stuffed up and pick another example. Just like Gromnir you should feel free to Post Proof of where I said that Or Retract. You even used quotes, so it should be easy to find where I said it, too. Or perhaps it's just another case of someone saying something you (and they, oh so very very desperately) want to be true and just repeating that, again and again: tilting at windmills made of strawmen. No Zora, there is no evidence that confirms that the French were complicit in the genocide. In fact they have denied this on numerous occasions That is why the link Gfted1 posted will be relevant. You can't make blanket statements about a country especially when it comes to a charge like genocide unless you have irrefutable evidence. And as for the link where you said Russia hasn't been impacted by sanctions...it didn't take me very long to find it There that was easy enough ( oh and thanks for the compliment, I didn't know you felt that way )

Because Social Justice Warriors are poison, a cancer that never goes away. The best you can hope for is remission. It's like a cloud of diseased spores that worms it's way into every nook and cranny, looking for something to be offended by and attack; like a virus turning the own body against itself, or a fungus that corrupts and rots the brain until the organism climbs up high and kills itself. This is so much hyperbole other hyperboles ask it for candy money. Don't forget grandiloquence..it also reeks of grandiloquence This. This I am willing to accept. Partly because I learned a new word, and it's a word that in it's very essence is the same thing it describes. That's wonderful. Yeah, it is one those unusual words but appropriate at times. I fairly regularly get accused of it

Now that's a good question We need order and structure because many people are incapable of doing the right thing, like paying tax, unless they are forced to So governments represent a collective system that allows things to function like the maintenance of institutions, examples of these include healthcare and education, and without institutions you will have countries and there citizens living in a benighted state where they just don't progress That's one of the biggest failures in Africa, the failure to maintain institutions in both the private and public sector

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

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

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

Unacceptable !!!! Banned from the forums immediately

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

Good points raised Volo, you shouldn't play PoE at all...I'll give you regular updates around my experience

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

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 "

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

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

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

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 ?
