  1. Just curious, but what do you base the 100,000 on?
  2. Guys. I've known lots of Malaysians. Visit the straits. Penang is nice. Laksa is some of the finest noodle soups in the world. Char Kway teow is much better than beef chow fun. I assure you none of them have actually publically vocalized what Qistina has been writing.
  3. Welp. I haven't seen such blatant and open anti-semitism and glorification of Nazism in an RPG discussion board since the last time I visited the Codex.
  4. Malaysian and Indonesian language differ, it is not fair to compare Malaysian and Indonesian...as you might know some bad words in Malaysia is not bad words in Indonesia, the other way is also true...just leave it and don't make it an issue. We have different law, different government and different country, different culture, different politic and different everything.Different everything? Ok, if you say so. I'll say this: Anyone speaking Bahasa Indonesia and Bahasa Malaysia will be mutually intelligible to each other with no problems. In Indonesian, Tuhan literally translates to Lord in English. Allah is God. In the grand scope of entities divine, there is quite a divinity gap between the two words. In the Christian bible, God is often addressed as Lord, but is otherwise called God --and the two words are used interchangeably as a matter of style, but the context matters. Like i said, if Indonesian want to translate God or Lord into Allah in Indonesian language is not Malaysian problem Are you are Indonesian? What you call your language? Malaysian or Indonesian language? It is like British want to busy body with what Americans want to translate in their books. OK. Fair enough. To be honest, I'm just a little grieved at the trend of how nominally secular governments have been shifting more and more religious culturally and politically.

  6. Hedonists.
  7. Can't speak for the Malaysian language but Allah and Tuhan are used interchangeably in Indonesian. In fact there is absolutely no confusion about their respective usage.
  8. Shady do you mind sharing why you personally don't like Hilary, I am interested in all Americans opinions because I am trying to see if I am missing something about her that Americans would be aware of but not a foreigner like me I think Elerond gave a better response than I ever could I would also never support someone just because of race or gender either and did not vote for Obama in 2008 (even though I did in 2012) Also Okay that chart is ....concerning How accurate is it and what questions was she asked ? It's an aggregate of several polls. One on its own may be inconsequential. But taken together, they're useful enough. Nate Silver/Fivethirtyeight has graded the various individual pollsters: http://fivethirtyeight.com/interactives/pollster-ratings/
  9. The futures market will crash if Hillary were to lose the nomination at 1 to 12 odds.
  10. You're backwards. Pot. Kettle. Black.
  11. Robin Lopez's assaults continue...
  12. A wider International sized rink would help as well. Being honest here, but dump and chase hockey and the neutral zone trap is killing the watchibilty of the game for me. Maybe eliminating the offsides rule would help as well.
  13. I think hockey should be played 4-4 during regular time. Opens up the ice and allows skill players room to actually you know, stickhandle and pass.
  14. Excited? Hardly. I don't hate Hillary Clinton. I just don't like her. She's a politician's politician with all its baggage, connotations, and inherent disingenuousness. Her asinine support of Jack Thompson and declaring video games as a moral power play on the corruption of youth culture and violence in society just smacks of how out of touch she was. She'll likely get my vote, but she ain't getting any time or dime from me as other democratic candidates have gotten. That being said, I have no problem with her as my President and I think she's qualified and will be a fine enough leader. And no, I won't be betting money on her either. 1) Terrible, TERRIBLE payoff. 2) It is illegal to bet on elections in the U.S. *edit* Also what Elerond said.
  15. From PaddyPower: Odds on winning the Democrat nomination Hillary Clinton - 1/12(!!!) Bernie Sanders - 6/1 Martin O'Malley 100/1 Bookmakers have the line for Hillary Clinton as the 1 to 12 favorite to win the nomination. That means you need to put down $12 to win $1 when betting on Hillary. There's absolutely no value play for Bernie Sanders at 6 to 1. NONE. Not with those monster odds for Clinton.
  16. Now why couldn't this have happened during Mayweather v Pacquaio?
  17. Updated lines from PaddyPower for the Republican nomination: Rubio - 5/4 Trump - 7/2 Bush - 7/1 Carson - 7/1 Cruz - 8/1 Christie - 16/1 Kasich - 20/1 Fiorina - 33/1 Rubio is the clear heavy favorite and I wouldn't put money down on anyone else. ...well maybe Cruz at 8 to 1 as a value bet.
  18. Hezbollah is 1) Shia and 2) fighting Israel, all while ISIS is 1) Sunni and 2) NOT fighting Israel. Am I missing something? I mean, that seems fairly obvious.
  19. Hezbollah officially condemns the attack. Hezbollah. http://news.yahoo.com/hezbollah-chief-lebanon-denounces-paris-attacks-184742949.html Which shouldn't be surprising considering both ISIIS and Hezbollah hate each other more than they hate the Crusaders.
  20. Yeah. That does feel dirty. Privates get pauldrons? Who knew...
  21. When it came time to decide on the central plot, several writers pitched their stories internally. Eric Fenstermaker's won out, so he became creative lead.
  22. I forgot what the different colored shoulder pads represent. They signify rank or command, right? If so, that squad looks a bit top heavy.
  23. I agree with you. But this would not be such a hard sell if outcry against the radical BS by the "non-violent" Muslims wasn't so muted when it isn't non existent. Generally speaking, most people in any situation tend to stay silent. They just want to go about living their lives and not have to stick their neck out for nothing or nobody no matter their personal convictions. It's already a hot topic issue, why fan flames? There's enough backward nutjobs even in liberal California who'll soon enough cause hell, or worst if they identify you as being muslim.
  24. Just an observation. It goes with the territory for him. He's the Codex's news guy.
