History is written by the victors. I don't believe Saddam was a good man by any streatch, but to pretend I KNOW everything there is to know about him? I do not. I doubt any of us do. Media and propaganda do their bit too. Ultimatively, dictatorships are unstable and crumble on their own. Saddams rule would have ended with or without the US intervention given time. As for governments and alturism - I do not believe that for a second. In a kingdom, I might. When all choices are made by one man, that man MIGHT be good. Rare, but possible. For an entire senate of politicans to be good? Astronomical is an understatement. Too many interests, too many groups, too many deals, too many people.

I remain open to somebody invading the west and removing idiots from power too. Sovereignty only counts for something if you like the people in power.

I got ninjad in posting this vid. I love 40K. It's ..very unique as a setting. And despite it not being anywhere near "hard" science, it's still strangely enough harder than many other settings (for example Marvel and DC)

Here is something Oby will love: And more more funny animals:

Some players hate it, Azmodiuz. There are many of us who enjoy the limits the classless system imposes. Indeed, classless systems seem so rampant in modern western crpgs that large numbers of players have started kickstarting retro-style games with class systems. As to Trashman's post, anyone who would drag PoE away from the IE games and towards Skyrim really can't complain when people call heresy. I LOVE both the IE games AND Skyrim, so call heresy all you want. I'm not against limitations either, as they are necessary. I'm against those that feel arbitrary or are there "just because". I'm for a classless class system. An oxymoron if you will, because you do have classes...but not as limited as before. The limits are more common sense and not imposed. "You want to use a bow? You cannot learn that, you are class X, and class X does not use bows. because reasons!" Skyrim allows you too much - sink enough time and you'll be a master at everything. Even narratively, you'll be holding more titles and have more feats than the rest of Tamriel combined. You can be a champion of ALL the gods, even those that war and hate eachother. A thane of EVERY hold. Master of ALL the guilds. In just a few months I might add. The friggin chuck Norris of Tamriel.

Elves are supposed to be anorexic?

...yet they're the ultimate failures. They see all their works come to naught, and they themselves are doomed to fade away. That's kind of the point. Which begs the question, who is the perfect one. I know some people deslike Tolkien-like elves because they appear like Mary Sues - but if it's always the humans who triumph in the end, who is the real Sue? Either way, you'll never write a fantasy setting that will make everyone happy. Elves and humans will either be too good, or too bad (off).

Criminal dog on the loose, GTA style: Smart rabbit

Personally I like "traditional medieval tolkienish fantasy" I can't say I find nothing exciting about the "brilliant" and "original" idea of "just stick X in a different climate!" New for the sake of new does nothing for me.

If you ask me, almost everything is acceptable. People everywhere need to grow a thicker skin and stop acting like the entire world revolves around their oh-so-precious feelings.

I applaud your good taste Sir.

Aaand...this should be enough for today
