BoS sealed their faith when they asked me to kill my own people so that they could get crops. So they were exterminated for heresy and conspiring against people of Commonwealth and its supreme ruler.

Bald eagle named Uncle Sam don't like Trump. How should one interpret this, is it as accurate prediction as Paul the Octopus predictions for World Cup? EDIT: After thinking it bit more, maybe this post should be in funny things thread. So if some moderator would be so nice and move this post to there, I would greatly appreciate it.

I think we all know why that is. The paddys control the media. Sláinte chuig na fir, agus go mairfidh na mná go deo!

No, it is most important thing that individual can learn is to not trust media. Because people making content in media have agenda deliberate or subconscious don't matter, and that agenda makes everything that they portray biased, so it is individuals job to find facts and truth behind the story and that is usually easiest to do by looking several media sources and have enough general knowledge to understand what things are media bias and what things are actually worthwhile information. Western ideology about media is that you need lots of competitive media to ensure that you get information from multiple points of view. There is reason why some of media are called liberal, some conservative, some right wing, some left wing, and so on. But truth is there is no trusting to media.

So what would be your ideal political structure for something like the EU....lets say you could implement any political system you wanted? This is fairly difficult to present briefly, and i certainly do not have time to write an essay here. I mean just a summary, for example should Poland leave the EU? Align with a different block of countries ? In short. No it should not but the shape of the EU needs to change. EU should remain what it was meant to be. Econmoy driving project that includes free movement of goods and people. We do not need an euro-kohloz that tells us how to live and what to think though. Just to be clear, what do you mean by "euro-kohloz" ? I would guess that they mean EU's institutes like Parliament, Commission and European Council, Council of the European Union and European Central Bank

Brits seem to have something against Trump today. Like for example this article from The Guardian that implies that Trump is terrorist supporter http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/dec/09/donald-trump-ireland-sinn-fein-terrorism

Yes this is all over the international media....Gfted1 when Trump makes comments like he did how do you feel? I'm battling to understand why you guys aren't more annoyed and or concerned ? I know I tend to perhaps overact to these types of comments but surly someone on this forum from the USA must be a little ......exasperated ? To be honest I doubt anyone over here really cares, either about Trump (non supporters) or what the UK thinks of him (supporters) As far as banning or even severely restricting guns in other countries I'd be curious to see what ownership levels and such were like before the bans. I could see banning them here eventually succeeding but it would probably take a few generations of moves in that direction, essentially changing the culture. Severe restriction to gun ownership (like need to prove that you have practiced shooting for at least year before you can get permit to buy a light caliber gun and even longer if you want higher caliber gun) and return guns without licence without questions asked policy have dropped amount of guns owned by private citizens in Finland from estimated several millions to estimated bit over 1.5 million (which is about 1 private owned weapon per 4 citizens). This estimated change has happened in my life time. Although lots of the returned weapons without license were from time of second world war and years after it, so they have returned when their owners have died and their beneficiaries didn't know what to do with the weapons they inherited.

No thats not the solution..if the USA converts to Islam then the problem is solved ? Lets not over complicate things....if the most powerful and influential Western country in the world just converts then the EU would follow ....surly if the whole world was Islamic then there wouldn't be anymore violence? Well except for the historical Shia\Sunni violence , the Iran vs Saudi resentment, the likes of ISIS and AL-Qaeda who kill anyone who doesn't agree with there interpretation of Islam, and the likes of Boko Haram and Al-Shabaab....but apart from that we would have Global peace..wouldn't we It is said that there will not be global peace as long as there is more than one human on this planet. So our only hope is... there is no hope, There Is Only War ®

I saw a "mission failed" notice pop up at one point because I didn't get around to doing one of those "settlement under attack" missions in a specific set of time. But when I visited that settlement, I didn't notice anything different. Still had the same number of people living there, still had the stuff I built for them, etc. On that note, guess which settlement needed me to save them again tonight? Sanctuary Hills. Ugh. Preston's opening line of "I just got word that a new settlement needs our help" just pisses me off at this point. It's our settlement, Preston. How about you stop wandering around between the various houses I built, and stop sitting on the various chairs and couches I built, and actually help out at one of the guard towers? If you don't help settlements then random things will broke in settlement and settlement happiness will drop. -
but again, US Courts is almost unique (australia has a lite version o' exclusion) in that if cops do bad and find evidence that proves guilt of a defendant, we don't simple punish the cops... we let the defendant go free. HA! Good Fun! That is quite well working system in most cases. But even it can fail to protect innocents when their neighbors start to act too paranoid, as police officers and those whose behavior their neighbors find suspicious are humans and when there are influx of cases where polices are called to check those more or less suspicious people there is increased change that in some cases people (police and/or those under suspicion) don't act as well as they should in such situation that can lead altercation that has unwanted consequences. So it isn't law that is problem, it is the inevitable human element. And more there are distrust between people more likely it's that human element comes into the play. Which is why some people find neighbor watching/stalking problematic, which I think was the original point/thing that was objected

Settlements inability to defend themselves without you being there is quite idiotic decision. At least it gives me comedy effect when I go to settlement that is under attack and its defenses destroy all the attacker before I can is even take my gun out after fast travel and then settlers come and tell me how grateful they are because they can't even think what could have happened if I wasn't there to defend them. -
That reminds me bit of this quote from Albert Einstein's Autobiographical Notes. I came—though the child of entirely irreligious (Jewish) parents—to a deep religiousness, which, however, reached an abrupt end at the age of twelve. Through the reading of popular scientific books I soon reached the conviction that much in the stories of the Bible could not be true. The consequence was a positively fanatic orgy of freethinking coupled with the impression that youth is intentionally being deceived by the state through lies; it was a crushing impression. Mistrust of every kind of authority grew out of this experience, a skeptical attitude toward the convictions that were alive in any specific social environment—an attitude that has never again left me, even though, later on, it has been tempered by a better insight into the causal connections. It is quite clear to me that the religious paradise of youth, which was thus lost, was a first attempt to free myself from the chains of the 'merely personal,' from an existence dominated by wishes, hopes, and primitive feelings. Out yonder there was this huge world, which exists independently of us human beings and which stands before us like a great, eternal riddle, at least partially accessible to our inspection and thinking. The contemplation of this world beckoned as a liberation, and I soon noticed that many a man whom I had learned to esteem and to admire had found inner freedom and security in its pursuit. The mental grasp of this extra-personal world within the frame of our capabilities presented itself to my mind, half consciously, half unconsciously, as a supreme goal. Similarly motivated men of the present and of the past, as well as the insights they had achieved, were the friends who could not be lost. The road to this paradise was not as comfortable and alluring as the road to the religious paradise; but it has shown itself reliable, and I have never regretted having chosen it. -Albert Einstein

It depends how they count that five years. If that five years include coming up with idea and getting it green lighted on publisher then five years isn't atypically long development cycle. So question is how long game is developed by full team and how much of said development time is just done by prework team. Like for example Alan Wake was in development over 7 years, but big part of that time it only had under 10 people working on it, which is why it production cost were much lower than most of the AAA franchises that have yearly releases with about 3 years development time.

Legendary Mythic deathclaws I think are most powerful and toughest version that you can run into (your character needs to be level 85 or higher). Although there is no enemy that can win player character when you use psychojet as it gives you good damage bonus and lows time so you can cause massive damage without needing to worry that enemies hit you. -
Do Lebanon have some sort special intelligence agency or why one should trust that they have some sort inside information about alliance that they aren't part of?

Christianity's villainy and terror are also ongoing things although their outright militantism isn't very big problem in Europe anymore and in USA people seem to tolerate it quite lot more than they tolerate it from other religions. Also expansionism and converting everybody to Christianity is one of the core tenets of Christianity. Mark 16:15 He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation." Mark 16:16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. What nonsense. Christian militantism in the US is laughable. Literally laughable. The religion is still strong in certain parts of the country but its capacity for expansion and fanaticism is limited to non-existent. And that's only in the US. Mail me when you find an international christian terrorist network spanning the globe. Christian terrorist group don't form international networks at least that are know to public, but they don't necessary need because we have enough Christian missionaries that are willing to spread their message to other countries. But for example in Anti-balaka in Central African Republic are Christian terrorists that hunt and kill Muslims quite openly including lynching ex-minister of Health. They also use mass rapes regular weapon against Muslims. They have caused nearly as many refugees in Africa as ISIS in Iraq. Lord's Resistance Army in Uganda committed during their rebellion (2005) lot of crimes against humanity including massacres, abductions, mutilation, torture, rape, and using forced child labourers as soldiers, porters, and sex slaves. They still continue to operate Tripura in India is Christian terrorist and rebel group that seeks the secession of Tripura, North-East India and they do terrorist attacks against Hindus. Nagaland in India is Christian terrorist group that wants to establish a sovereign christian state. Their main income comes from drug smuggling. They have also indulged in kidnapping, extortion and other terrorist activities. Their operation status is currently under question as they signed peace treaty with Indian government. Army of God in USA is Christian terrorist group that has done terrorist attacks against abortion providers starting from 1982. Christian Identity is global loosely organised Christian group that consist from individuals, churches and prison gangs that hold white supremacist theology, like they (European decent white people) are God's chosen people and that Jews are cursed offspring of Cain. Groups like Aryan Nations follow their teachings. They preach such things like killing Jews and Homosexuals. They don't form international groups because there's literally no such thing as powerful international Christianity barring the Catholic church. What you name are a handful of people in Africa (where there is a "terror group" for everything and as many failed states there are various groups), India (where there are even communists still, let alone christians, in a subcontinent with a billion people) and the US which has a prison gang for every single religion or creed in existence. Besides, all of that is representative of local interests and divisions. Muslim terrorist networks span dozens of countries, are in general agreement on the cause they're fighting for (even if there is infighting) and have proven themselves capable of large scale attacks in functioning modern states, attracting even second or third generation immigrants. They're now an international ideology with as much draw and charisma as communism in its heyday. Most importantly, christian extremism doesn't enjoy wide support at all (none really), whereas half the arab world is now celebrating what happened in San Bernandino without even knowing if its really religiously motivated with hundreds TV stations and mosques across the entire muslim world implicitly or explicitly supporting terrorism daily and preaching hatred for the west through daily propaganda. Christian terrorist groups get surprisingly lot support from regular Christians. And most of those Christian extreme movements in Africa, India and other countries have born from preachings of "regular" western preachers. Who of course always deny that it was their fault that people took their preachings literally.

I being sarcastic in the post with videos above....i just want to show how the media work...no one care about Muslims being persecuted because of the media have brainwash you all saying Islam and Muslims are bad, so if Muslims got persecuted who cares? Muslims and Islam are bad. Rohingya Muslims got genocided and driven out from Burma by Buddhist, nothing goes into media, no one say "Buddhism is religion of terror", "Buddhists are terrorists"...what worse is you will blame those Rohingya Muslims...i have seen that in internet comments.... http://world.time.com/2013/06/20/extremist-buddhist-monks-fight-oppression-with-violence/

They are. But not everybody of them want to be and more so after what transpired in 1930s and WW2. There was huge rise of Zionism within Jews after the war and nations that looked from side quite long time when millions of Jews were systematically killed and oppressed were willing to throw them bone, especially as it played in their own interests.

Dude....seriously? Poland suffered from hyperinflation after the USSR collapsed and yet Poland transformed itself. Poland is considered a success story. Who would be prejudiced against Poland ....sorry but I don't understand all the EU historical bias Poorer people from richer EU countries that see Poles as cheaper competitors on same jobs, which is not unfounded as it is not uncommon to see polish metal workers, builders, welders etc. to be hired build things in richer EU countries, because they are cheaper than local craftsmen with same skills. It's not uncommon that they will get even better quality for less cost. With more opened borders that is one of a factors why a lot of companies are willing to move their Offshore operations or Shared Service units to Poland. Even though they will pay more in Poland than lets say in Mauritius or India, they will get significantly higher quality in terms of accuracy, deadlines etc. Better quality is debatable thing, but cheaper it is. Like for example they use Polish welders to weld accumulators, steel webs to reactor building, steel linings in Nuclear Power plant building site here in Finland and now that nuclear plant is 6 years late and estimated to be 9 years late before its ready because failures in welds. And estimated price has rose from 3.2 billion euros to over 9 billion euros. But of course one can put blame only or at all for the workers but ****ty management and leadership of Areva. To note that Finland has world class welders, which is why we are able get so many of those billions of dollars worth luxury ship building contracts, build world largest oil drilling pipes for oceanic use etc.. So it isn't that they couldn't find people with good workmanship from local worker pool, but they just decided not to do so. Also to note those weld failures aren't only thing that have failed in that god-forsaken nuclear plant. So purpose of this post is not to say that Polish workers do ****ty job, but projects like that Olkiluoto 3 nuclear plant is why quite lot of people have bad picture of them, as they are mostly hired to construction sites that try cut costs everywhere, which usually leads to circumventing building codes and produce buildings that have inherit failures in them, because contractors safe in materials and time-consuming stages. The main thing that causes grudge with local workers is that they ability to compete with Polish/Estonian/etc. countries workers is very limited and self hurting, as they live in countries that have much higher cost of living and those laborers from cheaper countries come only to do that specific job and then they go back to their home country with cheaper cost of living which means that they can ask much lower salary and not hurt their ability to live decently where local labor don't have such luxury. This is also the thing that causes most grudge in people about free movement inside of EU (if you don't count current refugee crisis and terrorist threat).
