  1. Rumours of their deaths may have been exaggerated. http://www.ibtimes.co.in/dead-austrian-teens-who-joined-isis-claim-be-pregnant-609276 It's rather sad that they get so much media attention just because they're lily white. But that's just exactly why the religious zealots wanted them, I guess.
  2. Nonek the word " fascists" is a naughty word, we don't like to call people that. Its like playing the Hitler card, its just hyperbole and theatrics It should be below you He probably just forgot to put a winkie emoticon after it.
  3. Seems initial support for her is quickly waning, as well. http://www.theguardian.com/film/2014/sep/22/django-unchained-actor-asked-to-apologise-over-lapd-racism-claims
  4. This will start a trend, I reckon. Soon we will hear of the octobreast woman. Anything is fair to get your fifteen minutes of fame these days, it seems.
  5. They gained a lot by threatening to, however.
  6. My super secret sources have also supplied a picture of this "moot" character. It's super legit.
  7. Yes, yes - they do. Rather nice of them, because it makes it much easier to tell them apart. Rather like neoclassicism, the decorative movement that drew its influences from the Ancients, but added glow in the dark columns for that extra effect.
  8. For the record, I have nothing against minorities in games, and I think it's a bit odd how you've come to that conclusion. But that's something for another discussion. If you really have that view of me, shoot me a PM and I will give you my actual views.
  9. You sound like a Neo-Nazi Jadedmeister, are you a Neo-Nazi? It wouldn't surprise me considering how much you hate minorities and don't want them to be represented in games You know, Bruce, I am not sure if you're joking or serious at this point.
  10. It can serve as a warning for how out of control socialism can get. It also helps demonstrate that the "Socialist care about the poor; the capitalists only care about the rich!" narrative is BS. Well, yeah, I really don't think that much debate is needed to come to that conclusion. We don't have to look at nazi Germany for that, we can just look at Venezuela. Both extreme socialism and extreme capitalism is bad, in my mind. You have to find a middle ground that everyone is happy with. And no matter what, always keep an eye on the politicians. Even if they start off young and idealistic, before you know it they're cynical bastards who are merely acting out their part in order to get re-elected. And then it doesn't matter what ideology they profess.
  11. Honestly guys, even if we do accept that nazi Germany had some form of socialism, although underpinned by a completely different ideology, does that really tell you anything about current day social democrats? It's just such a weird argument, whatever way you spin it. "I hate socialism, because the nazi's were socialists". Boom. Well, no one can disagree with hating the nazi's. Guess we all have to hate socialism too now. And since other people in this thread insist countries like Sweden are socialist, guess we have too hate them too now. Sorry Sweden.
  12. The very broad definition of socialism used in this thread is making the discussion rather silly. Nazi Germany and modern day Sweden have very, very little in common. But suddenly we have to condemn Sweden for being "socialist" because the nazi's once called themselves national socialists. It just makes any meaningful conversation impossible.
  13. Come now, I can think of a couple of people who with a more apathetic lifestyle could have made the world a better place. Why, if I could travel back in time I would certainly try to convince young Dolfie that he should just give in to bumming around, that he should stop obsessing at getting to be any good at painting and that, how patriotic it might seem, he certainly shouldn't go and join the army.
  14. Whale shark. They eat plankton. Edit: they do also eat krill, apparently.
  15. The word gamer means someone who plays games. Really, it's not a very difficult word to grasp. Maybe, just maybe... A lot of backlash could have been avoided by simply using a different word? I mean seriously, what if I told you that "Oh, when I say women I don't really mean women, I just mean thoooose women..." I really don't see how you can NOT see the problem.
  16. Honestly, I haven't actually followed much of this as neither side of this "debate" has really made a good impression on me, and quite honestly websites like Kotaku and Rock, Paper, Shotgun have always seemed to have this weird agenda which was off-putting to me. But here's an article I that I thought was actually interesting and worth reading: http://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2014/09/01/the-gamer-is-dead-long-live-the-gamer/ Now, can anyone recommend me some good gaming websites that don't have their own agenda they try to push on you and are reasonably free of gaming corruption?
  17. Tough luck, old boy. You can't threaten to go and declare independence, so Cameron doesn't care.
  18. Heh, I knew a guy from Indonesian/Moluccan descent, and he was actually miffed he couldn't grow facial hair. Honestly, not having to shave would seem like a blessing but... He said he would have preferred to at least have the option.
  19. Looks like the "no" camp is in a comfortable lead. I guess come tomorrow, no Scot will ever allowed to complain about the English again. After all, it's settled. They secretly love them.
  20. To be fair, I wouldn't have too much faith in people with journalistic qualifications these days either. Making news these days is not about fact finding anymore, but all about selling "news" any way you can.
  21. I'm with Nonek. If you really think there is some sort of niche audience of gamers, be it female, homosexual etc. which at the moment is not getting the games it deserves, start up a company and go make those games. If the market is there, and the game is good, it'll be a big hit.
  22. He doesn't need to be banned, really. We have an ignore function. It's invented for people like Oby.
