Ted Cruz: The Comedy Gold that Keeps on Giving
I don't get it. Are Hispanics and Blacks incapable of being conservative? No they can be but I would say the vast majority aren't and I find certain conservative values seem to conflict with what both these minority groups want, like the immigration issue and how relevant it is to most Hispanics

Actually his comments were patronizing, he said "women have more emotional intelligence than men " .." but men have "better logical thinking ", he basically created an interpretation where he was saying " women are just not clever enough to play chess " You guys need to learn to distinguish between a real SJ insult, like this one, and some of the unreasonable ones. They aren't all the same. Support the valid ones

I'm not sure anyone in this thread believes their punctuation, much less their sentences, at least as far as the topic is concerned...? I try to believe that even a pointless/silly thread can bring up an interesting discussion. But as i said i believe that OP´s point is nonsense I agree, we often use Obys posts as a springboard to have other discussions which I consider much more meaningful

Yeah some of us really enjoy discussing global events. Oh and that reminds me you and I are going to be on the opposite sides of most political debates so please don't take it personally when I disagree with you. Its not personal, its just we have very different views on certain events like Ukraine I can live with that, as long as you get your facts straight True though i take the Ukraine situation on a more personal lvl because i do know people there and have a sort of first person view on what is going on and the rage that this has brought up is new to me, thats the kind of thing where you go "yeah lost any hope in humianty". I am going to respond to your Ukraine point you made, I went back and read your long assessment of the Ukrainian situation I don't agree with much of it but you raise some interesting points. Yes I rely on facts, I can support anything I say through links. Please don't post videos...just links if you want me to read it. And its not that I am being dismissive, I just don't have the time to watch hours of videos and some people like Vals keep posting these hours long videos and expecting people to watch them But I look forward to future debates with you

I don't get it...are you saying these photos represent GG members ? These white male non-diverse neck beards are some of the people claiming GG are all white male non-diverse neck beards. It's a case of projection. Oh thanks Its actually quite funny because they do look a bit consistent

Nonek do you actually believe your grandstanding and these sententious soapbox sermons or do you cringe when make posts like this but think to yourself...." I have to be consistent, people expect me to be anachronistic and intransigent " Also can you please stop saying " this is of course just my opinion " after certain posts, it obvious its your opinion. You are making the post. Its certainly not the truth or based on the reality of a situation most of the time. Sorry to criticize but I fail to see the point of why you keep saying that? I hate to see this whole GG event in terms of winning and losing, the GG objective seems so nebulous and aspects of it have such a bad name I fail to see how it will ever progress? It seems more about constant invective and undermining of certain people who support SJ movements and thats fine I'm not attacking that reality ..but lets not see it as " winning " ...that would be like the British saying they " won " after the first day of the Somme

Freedom in Canada
Oh not much. They just made animals that slaughtered thousands of Polish (including some of my family) and Jewish people their national heroes. You are about a year late to the party, I'm afraid. In addition, from what I've seen, you are in the minority in that opinion, as a Pole. Good luck trying to discuss facts with the usual suspects here, though. You'll need it. Year late? Ukrainian parliament act I'm talking ago was passed on 09.04.2015. I'm also not a minority about being against ukrainian nazis. You seem to know as much on the subject as the FBI director when he accused Poland and Hungary on participation in Holocaust last week. I was referring to the year-old debate about the Ukrainian government being neo-Nazi sympathizers. This went right over your head, it seems, though I'm not really surprised. What's truly flabbergasting is that not even with a link to an old thread where those things are discussed at length, you managed to gather as much. Hey, maybe next year. Oh not much.

Well the view that the Ukrainian government are Neo-nazi's was never taken seriously when you raised it because its just hyperbole...and the reality hasn't changed now so why should we get concerned or feel the need to urgently dispute it ? I'm sure there are some Neo-Nazis in the Ukrainian government ...like there are in many governments. But the suggestion that the Ukrainian government is aligned ideologically with a fascist movement is just preposterous for a number of reasons ..mainly that the Ukraine's primary financial backers happen to be Western countries and they just wouldn't support a Neo-Nazi government ..that should be explanation enough

There..there Sharp_one ..okay I'll take the hint and save you having to keep asking the same question "why do you hate the Ukrainian government, you use to support them.... what did they do now "

Journalism and bias in the gaming industry
Sure, sure, you mean "inclusive romancing environment". Either that or they have some sort of agenda and that's why they push it even if it seems hacky (Cortez struck me that way). Probably a bit of both at this point, it's become a good marketing point for them and it's not as if the average consumer takes a lot to clap and smile over. You correct about that Malc, I am referring primarily to Bioware contribution around inclusivity for the LGBT community Its important and appreciated work and don't think its easy for them...they receive loads of criticism and sometimes its nothing but homophobia pretending to be "constructive " That's why Bioware is such a remarkable company because they have remained true to there principles around inclusivity at the expense of losing some old fans

Yeah that's been proven time and time again and I'm sure Oby will recognize this The game looks very cool, I like the artwork. I'll support this game on KS

Yeah it does sound like the earlier Ultima games were indeed very progressive for there time Its good that Bioware has taken up the torch of " trying to provide a truly inclusive gaming environment for all "

Can we not forget the past and focus on the future...a future where we endeavor to debate in good faith? Maybe you can start by mentioning these examples where SJ influence has ruined a game for you...you said a "few games ", can you go into more detail about exactly what and how the game was ruined?. There will be no judgment from me so just be honest?

Yeah, that always makes me laugh if people think you are up to something untoward, like following them, and in fact you are not. I suppose we live in a suspicious culture
