I don't have an issue with any Romance with any availible race, but with an animal I have to draw the line. A Centaur is a good question....I consider that physiologically more like an animal so I would have to say no !!!

I think Obama has been the greatest USA president I have ever seen in my life, and I'm sure history will remember him favorably. There are many people on these forums who I like and respect immensely but don't like Obama, like GD, and thats fine. We all have our own opinions and perspectives. One thing that people must realize is that I see Obama from an outsiders perspective. And trust me when I say this is that from a global view George W Bush was much more unliked and reviled and fairly or unfairly tarnished the image of the USA that America still has to deal with. For example when the USA was considering attacking Syria due to there contravention of using Chemical weapons the standard response was " oh another country that the USA wants to invade for oil, like Iraq" Anyway here is a good link that raises some of the positive things that Obama has done http://whatthe****hasobamadonesofar.com/

Hiro I think you just need to be direct, no need to be ambiguous. You are asking if in PoE there will be the opportunity to Romance a Sheep. And we get it, you are Australian. You are among friends here, you can be honest

As opposed to the subject matter that came before it? Romance itself has nothing to do with PoE, since it won't have any. Which is why I'm completely baffled that the other thread has been allowed to exist here and even spawn a sequel. I mean, am I free to start a thread called: "the case for first person shooter mechanics" here on the PoE forums without it getting locked or moved? Just curious. No thats not applicable, there is much more interest and opinion around Romance than a topic called "the case for first person shooter mechanics" and I think you know this. That would be my logical reason for the Mods creating an extended "Case for Romance 2"

You mean this conversation that has nothing to do with PoE? This conversation that's devolved into one of prepubescent sexual innuendos? Yeah that same one, the same one that you've been an active participant in

Nice, good thinking Gfted1

Squeakymeister whats your favorite RPG of all time ?

Someone had to. Geez that was beautiful, beautiful and haunting

Why weren't you at work today Woldan ?

okay that really made me laugh....kudos...

Whats your view on the Drone Strike strategy Kgambit. I consider you well informed in these matters?

Yes and Yemen is also a hotbed of Islamic fundamentalism I am not saying that there haven't been civilian causalities and that is always reregrettable. But don't kid yourself, this is a war. Drone strikes are carefully planned and are used as part of the USA military strategy when they cannot use conventional armed forces, like ground troops. Also just for the record the president of Yemen allowed most of the drone strikes bebecause his already fragile rule is threatened by Al-Qaeda in Yemen

I had a sig on the BSN. It read "For every copy of DA2 that you don't buy, I'm buying seven". You have no idea how many people not only too that seriousy, but PM'd me about it. that is genius, what was the general view of people who PM you?

So you would prefer the USA sending ground troops into western Pakistan to kill the members of the Taliban and Al-Qaeda who were actively involved in the insurgency in Afghanistan?

4-5 hours of sleep a night !!! But I suppose with your levels of insomnia that would be considered oversleeping

Thank you for being honest. I hope now you can see my point. My countries laws are basically the same as yours. We allow free speech but not if it is considered offensive or hurtful or insulting to a person. I'm not sure how you want to define examples in the UK where people have been prosecuted with using certain words on Twitter but the reality is the UK is a Democracy that believes in free speech. This is the point I have been trying to make for ages, there is no contradiction when saying " I live in a society where we believe in free speech but certain words and descriptions of people aren't acceptable for public use"

I should have internet by the 11th, my apartment is neat, I'm so happy to have my own place again. overjoyed really! after 2 years 2 months and one day living with my mother again, it was long overdue. Sweet independence! Of course still need a lot of stuff done in the house: Lights, privacy strips on the windows so no-one can watch me ****, a loft bed with desk underneath for the guest room (I have space for a guest room!) a room screen to divide the living room from my bedroom, a trash can, a laundry bin, shower curtain, a topper for my bed would be great but is wicked expensive and a bunch of other stuff... But moving is expensive, laying a laminated floor is expensive, plaster and paintjob was expensive too, so this will have to wait for later... But for now, I have my own place, I can rise when I want and shower as long as I please, I can invite people... and it's mine. It is great to have you own spot and have that level of freedom, I know some people and cultures prefer to live with there parents but I would get claustrophobic living with my folks

Once again you seem to be avoiding a direct question so I'll ask it differently " do you personally feel that the UK can say it believes in free speech. Can you say you feel you live in county that allows free speech"

Can you answer my question because it is relevant. In the UK they charge people for Twitter comments, do you think the UK believes in free speech?

Simple opinions are usually the most dangerous. Especially when applied to complex concepts such as freedom of speech. I'm not about to discuss in detail the politics of SA, which has its problems like everywhere else except writ large. Poverty, corruption, crime, HIV, the legacy of the ANC... if it's so great why is London full of South Africans who hate the place? My point is what works for you in SA might not work for everyone else. Or should they just shut up? Then you don't believe in free speech. It's like saying, 'we believe in hamburger, but not in eating cows.' You have no right to be not offended. Assaulted, sure. Offended? No way. Under your definition Martin Luther would never have nailed his declaration to the door. Troll or child-like naivety? Only you can decide. Oh Monte stop using Strawman arguments to support your view that words don't have an impact on our dignity. When did I ever say that South Africa is a paradigm of social perfection? When I ever say we don't have high unemployment? In fact how are those points in anyway relevant to my statement. I said " the South African Constitution allows free speech but not if it impacts the dignity of a person". You can dismiss what the South African Constitution says but 48 million people will disagree with you This is not uncommon, in fact in the UK people have been charged for making derogatory racist comments on Twitter. So lets address your own country and how you feel about that law. Is it unfair that numerous people are prosecuted for there opinions on Twitter...those are just words after all?

Thats a different type of Pizza. I don't normally have seafood on Pizza but it sounds tasty

Why anyone would believe anything O'Reilly says about any topic is beyond me

I'm surprised that any website can cause you to feel it's looking down on a particular group? Don't you think that you judging RPS, isn't this about the importance of free speech...shouldn't we just not have any opinions on how we feel about a particular website and there perspective? Or does ths only apply to our opinions on ..I don't know...lets say RPGCodex ( sorry Nonek I couldn't resist, you know I love you ) And what about free speech rights of the creators of the games, which RPS tramples over Unless either RPS or this forum suddenly became the government, I don't see what free speech has to do with it. Well we have had this debate on different levels and we all have our own views. My opinion is a simple one and its based on what I see works in South Africa and is in our constitution. We believe in free speech but not if it impacts the dignity of a person. So in other words say what you want but don't say it in way that is offensive or hurtful. Its obvious to me and I don't understand why people don't emphatically agree with me

Okay thanks for explaining. I see the point and how it could be applicable but that wouldn't work for me for a number of reasons. But I see what you mean

I'm not shouting at all. It's about opening your mind to the possibilities. I know that's kind of hard for you to do. It's never too late to give up your prejudices. You've shown at least once (and I can only recall once) in WoT that even after pages and pages and hundreds of comments by fellow posters, you can accept a different view point, even if it takes hundreds of posts to convince you. Those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything. This is where you seem to be. The measure of intelligence is the ability to change. Something to ponder over. Yes I do consider myself someone who is prepared to change there mind if you can present facts and a logical perspective. I just haven't seen this around "why there shouldn't be Romance in RPG" This is not the same as accepting there won't be Romance in the first PoE
