  1. Is Israel involved in any way? If no, the US won't do ****.
  2. Clicked link. Doesn't work. Many have tried to click it, but it just hasn't been properly implemented yet. It's like Age of Decadence, perpetual beta.
  3. So your problem is, essentially, that power corrupts, and the bigger the power, the bigger the risk of corruption - hence governments need to be limited in power, because that will prevent those who want to bend the world to their will from accruing the means to do so. Am I reading you correctly? I'd agree with that. Niet comrade. The power is of the people, vox populi as some might say it, and the will of the people is the will of the state; therefore the state is only as corrupted as the spirit of common worker man. *twists the bushy moustache* I really need to stop visiting /leftypol/
  4. Volo don't be naive, we need governments or there will be anarchy throughout society. And no one wants that Speak for yourself.
  5. Kaineparker is pleased. He lives next to me. Jesus Rojas.
  6. Vidya romance is awful and needs to be purged with nuclear fire.
  7. My personal advice: skip step 2. Nah, the atmosphere and set pieces are awesome Keep in mind that the "Alternative Edition Redux" is only available through download on the 'net as it is not an official release. Just google it and do not feel bad for dowloading it since it falls under as an educational piece.
  8. Dying is fine, but I wouldn't include killing in a child's story, but then again, I'm no author. Well given the age range, why not? Child is everything up to 12, no?Depends on how the killing is done, how it fits in the story. Heh the Animal Farm film was ok, up to the ending which was needless. Honestly, at eleven, twelve, I was reading things like Stephen King's It, Herbert's Dune, Lord of the Rings, etc. Nobody was reading me anything anymore. If your child is that age and still depends on you for reading to them, there's something wrong. Reading Dune at 11 might be boring to some considering the political intrigues, but reading It at the same age left you with a weird feeling because of what the children had to do to become adults. Sure it was more of survival pact between friends, but still the innocence of childhood had gone when i read it at the same age. I saw the filmed IT before reading the novel at 11 or 12, and remember being freaked out quite a bit by the more brutal nature of IT and the other stuff(rereading it now actually, and catching a lot more "mystical" stuff I missed before). About a month later I dropped my keys down a storm drain(like what Pennywise was in when Georgie encountered it) and was scared that IT would get me while I was down there getting them back. Still haven't read Dune though, should really get around to that sometime. 1. Give Prophecy Theme a listen - After listning, are you now feeling that tingle of mystique? Something greater than just a standard sci-fi? Maybe even something trancendental? Good, then follow the next step. 2. Watch Dune - Alternative Edition Redux [fanedit] - It is the version that actually makes sense. Avoid any other. - Realize that this is really a flawed jem. It's pretty much the best hero's journey that you can find with themes of destiny, precience and overcoming oneself. 3. Read the book. - Your life is now complete. (I only read four first books of Dune due to SPOILER: ) I've got my last final on Tuesday, but I'll give this a try when I sober up afterwards.

  10. Harrison Bergman. It was a satire of dystopian fiction of the time.
  11. It failed on the final boss for me(1.04). Was playing PotD so that may have had something to do with it.
  12. The feminists know, shut it down!
  13. I only speak American and subtitles are a secular jewish pinko conspiracy.
  14. Well I suppose they are generally left, but more social democrats than socialist and more concerned about intersectional boogeymen than class or economics.
  15. Same here. But they had some great funding, they even had their own building with a nice garden, seperated but equal from the others So the stuff from the arts faculty, then ?\ I would say more of the philosophy department. It lacks the horrible prentiousness found among the art students. I've been drinking with both parties during my days in the academia and you'll notice a certain pattern emerging: the former is more about a whimsical idea to spark a debate about anything and the other is more about narcisism with a hint of madness. Also, the philosopher wakes up the following morning wondering what the hell was the point of all that jibberish while other wakes up knowing which people you should put on your ****-list. My experience has been that both are packed with people who think the **** they make up is profound despite it not being particularly good. And they tend to be bourgeois as well. You must've attended a hipster-university, my condolences. True on hating the bourgeois though, but different in how they articulated it. Since the philosophers actually had classes in reason, ethics and morality, they could at least criticize them for being hazardous to a just society (from affording good lawyers to creating laws that benefit only them), the immorality of vices leading to inequity due the potential power and so on. The "artists" just thought that they were the first reading Karl Marx and attended every new kind protest for the sake of protesting. They did posess that raw spirit that one can admire. Too bad it was almost always focused on dumb ****. Oh I was saying that the students of art and philosophy are largely bourgeois. More so than the STEMlords or economics and pre-law students at any rate.

  17. Wut? Rather than encourage bad parents to do better, you want good parents to do worse? Because of the white supremacist cismale patriarchy? That makes about as much sense as combating obesity by encouraging fit people to work out less and eat worse.
  18. It can be, but we have a few situations that are more relevant at the moment, such as the SPJ thing and possibly a debate panel at a con. I'd much prefer to talk about that than getting into another circular argument with Bruce that clogs up several pages. Ooh i've not heard of this, Return of the Honey Badgers? Not necessarily, a comic con said it would be open to a debate panel concerning gg. At work right now so can't link, but the idea was to get a couple of willing people selected. KiA probably has more details.

  20. Nonek mate, remember what we said about engaging people who weren't arguing in good faith?
  21. How did UKIP do?
  22. My understanding of Thor and Mjolnir is that whoever is worthy can hold the hammer and get powers, but they don't become Thor. Which is why I find the girl Thor a bit strange(in a lore sense) as it seems to go against the conventions of the Marvel Universe. I understand that new characters rarely sell, but I do have to agree with Sarex's thrust that the Big2 these days fail to create new characters that last longer than a gimmick. As it is, I believe that female Thor will no longer be the titular character of Marvel's Thor comic and will likely fade into obscurity. YMMV, but I would have preferred a new superhero name instead of a legacy character.
  23. So will Scotland finally get FREEDOM!? Why do they even want to be in the UK when they are not participating in what many consider one's civic duty + all those lose women, alcohol and bacon? The weather.
  24. She's done other videos where that isn't an issue.
