For example Protections against employment discrimination isn't everywhere in same level as they are for other citizens. Ability to adopt a child as couple isn't everywhere in same level as they are for other citizens. Protections against denial of service isn't everywhere on same level as it is for other citizens. Very true and I will agree, but I will also say they are not alone in that situation suffering, that those same locations there are others that are suffering along with them. And to play devil's advocate, a lot of those cases are not cut and dry but are situational OR it is something else at fault but because we label things, it's so stead seen as the reason bc they are LGBT. Also something I believe and I maybe in the minority here, sometimes just because u have the freedom to do something doesn't mean that u will be able to simply because sometimes we don't "fit" but we do have the freedom of options. Reading and looking into a lot of "discriminations" (not counting real ones), a lot of these situations fall into this.

now that thankfully marriage for the LGBT is legal and has to be enforced (that actually fixes a lot of the rights they were denied), can u give me examples of some rights and protections they are denied? Protection? It's illegal to discriminate against them, it's illegal to harm/threaten violently because simply being LGBT rises the punishment to a higher level than if someone else got the same done to them, their rights supersede religious freedom (I'm glad this is actually done. Unfortuantly I do agree that in USA that the special privileges to go to certain people I believe to keep them lower class while helping them out but to "it's a trap!" them at a certain area/status because if they rise above it, they lose those "special" privileges.

What? Treating LGBT as regular citizens? The horror. I know right? "Do you want to be treated as an equal or do u want to be treated as special? If you are treated as an equal, then u won't be treated as if your special because your just like everyone else. If you are treated as special, then you won't be treated as if your equal because then your different and not like everyone else.

Also I thought the way it's set up down to the brass tax, "citizens" have the right to protest since it's one of the many perks of being part of the machine. If your not part of it, you "technically" don't have the same rights and privileges? I'm. It saying that non citizens can't protest, I'm saying that non citizens could very lawfully be shut down and denied the right whereas they could not lawfully do so with actual citizens?

If he treats the LGBT as regular citizens, I won't be mad and I'll agree with it. If he treats them less or special treatment, then I'll be outraged. Right now he's cleaning house, I'm gonna hold judgement until I see what he actually does.
-
Am I an evil human being that I'm laughing as I see these videos of protestors getting hit by cars in the middle of the highway at NIGHT? There has to be a level where stupidity is above how messed up a situation is to become funny, I think I found it sadly.

Farewell Barack Obama (If you can't say something nice...)
redneckdevil replied to Guard Dog's topic in Way Off-Topic
we have. numerous times. given the tone o' the thread, this is not the place for us to discuss our feelings regarding obama's gutting of nasa. in the spirit o' the thread, we will observe how obama deserves credit for killing the absolute asinine don't ask, don't tell policy o' the us military. I appreciate the historical analysis of Trump going forward, it helps to ameliorate the angst for some But I see the Trump presidency as unique .....and something we are living through. Im not saying it will be terrible or ignominious but we just don't know what he will do around some global realities or how his new advisors will impact change I'll be honest, I think how the media operates is more important and will have a bigger immediate and long fetching result. I'm not saying Trump's actions and decisions will not have as much, but he has checks and balances and also the media to influence public s opinion on his actions and decisions.......whereas what do we have with the media? Trump at least has to punch thru legislation to get change whereas the media does not. The media actions right now if kept goingcoyld warrant limits and limitations to regulate it and take away the freedom of "free press". Imagine what would happen for years to come if free press was regulated by the govt in what and how it could present news? That scares me more than anything trump could push thru (barring nuclear war and etc) because our country is set up that laws and such can be changed to meet the demands of the people. But to regulate and limit something because it got outta hand.....that takes much longer to undo. -
I didn't give that much but don't regret it at all I didn't even really like crpgs and really it was the quality of fonv that I pledged at all.

everything they are doing now, is being remembered. I'm actually excited to see what's gonna happen when the opposite party gets elected down the road and I wanna see the biblical **** storm of "one upping" the same stuff that they are doing now. Sigh, these bitches (I hate to use the term for people as that shows disrespect towards humans) seem to forget that the whole reason of "peaceful transition" was because once it starts, it's REALLY hard to stop it from rolling on. The end is near! The end is near!!

So far the only good romances I have seen in a game was the ones hands off to the player or was baked into the main story. Hell I'd dare say the romance in PoE was actually done very well between 2 important people.

redneckdevil replied to Guard Dog's topic in Way Off-Topic
It's a bit of a stretch to credit him for this. He was a pretty vocal opponent of same sex marriage all the up until the tide of public opinion could not be ignored. Jumping on the bandwagon long after it got rolling does not strike me as particularly virtuous. Now the US Solicitor General did argue on behalf of the Plaintiffs in Obgerfell so there is that. But the real credit here goes to the five justices who listened to the Equal Protection argument.. It happened during his presidency so to be fair, I will chalk it up to him just like if good/bad things happened during someone else's turn I'd blame/cheer them. I do understand it WASNT him personally, but dammit i tried to say something good about him and I had to settle with something that happened during his term instead lol. -

Legalizing gay marriage -
If the games from windows for pc were all cross platform to the Xbox 1, then that's the only way I would even think about getting a game off the windows store.

I can't really say. South Park SoT and the shadowruns games were fine at 15-30 hours because they were very well done and not padded. Usually a much greater chance of finishing them. Morrowind/FONV/etc type RPGs are great for the hundreds of hours u can sink into them because usually the exploration is just as important as the story. Padded is fine because usually the padded material IS the exploration. Only drawback is a lot less chance of finishing because of length and restart itis.

The patriot act, and it's funny that it got replaced with the "freedom" act
-
Well I dunno which thread to put this in so here good enough for me. So what do y'all think about about Obama bypassing the 4th amendment and letting the NSA share its information with several agencies (FBI, DEA, DHS to name a few) WITHOUT warrants, court orders, or congressional hearings? So is the 4th amendment basically gone now? How is he able to do so?

****. I'm so glad I got to take my kids to The circus a few years back when they were young but not to young to not pay attention. They had a blast and were very entertained. Me and the woman was also very entertained as well. It was a great show. Sadly a very short time afterwards one of the people fell and died. This is sad news in a way. Great memories but really it's like the fair, overpriced and not really an interest in them anymore. One of the many drawbacks of the transition of the modern age into the digital age

Took a break from my rotation and started playing shadowruns returns again. Playing a make for the first time, and while mages aren't all powerful like dnd wizards, the debuffs and heals are very useful. Short game but I'm enjoying every minute of it. Almost finished with returns and will most likely start up dragonfall after one done.

How Liberals Treat Blacks Who disagree With Their Agenda
redneckdevil replied to Volourn's topic in Way Off-Topic
I'd actually say the followers are just as much as important as the ideology itself because they the followers shows how the ideology actually interacts and does when brought to the real world? -
Ok this sounds silly, but I am really looking forward to riding the trains lol. I forgot about them. It's been years since I've rode a train

I've had some people recommend France to me, but they all speak french fluently. Those that don't speak french hated it, "was lovely as long as you did'nt meeting any french people", was the gist of it. I have a hard time imagining a place in Europe that is truly foreign and alien, I'd look to asia for something like that I've been planning a trip to Ukraine and Chernobyl with some friends though I am a bit hesitant because of, well, things that happened the last years, but it's something cool to see that I doubt many people can claim. So if you have any interest in such things, that might be worth looking into. Bulgaria has interested me a few times aswell, I'd like to see some of the Thracian tombs they've got there and the city Nessebar. Tyvm for the suggestions. Funny thing that's what I've heard and reason why I'm not keen on France when I have other options lol. I've heard that it's beautiful but that the people have a natural snobby "****" vibe. Since I'm half French, half Irish, and all American, I've been told it's my French side that makes me such a good **** lol.

Michelle Obama? I'm sorry, gotta capitalize the T in The Woman. There's only one The Woman in my life

That was a good read. Yeah, it's been to long. TBH I think HL3 be better for a community or someone's personal project to actually get done and still feel like half life.
