  1. You raise some good points, to be honest its better to be one or the other because certain fundamental views are necessary to believe one or the other and these things are mutually exclusive But of course there are some similarities Then if I had to chose then I'd be against then. I can stand behind someone calling out injustice and wrong done because of the color of ones skin, but I can't be for a group that isn't treated equally as anyone else (meaning they can do, say, act things that most would lose our lively hood over while no one is batting an eye because of mob screaming racist) and believe and acts like THEY have and had the WORSE outta anyone and everybody. They act and believe they are special snowflakes that it's more important and EVIL and wrong if it happens to them but if it happens to someone else, they are outraged because it's stealing their thunder. Why we let them act and do what they do? Because at the foundation, the BLM is like I said something we can all get behind IF it was just that. When they start demanding and screaming that they have more right and have been wronged more than anyone else in history and it doesn't count if ur history coincides with theirs with slavery and racism, it doesn't matter because it's black power over anything and everything else. Now, I will say this, in light of the Dallas shootings paired with the cop murdering those fellows, the overall mood seems to have changed. The mood feels like they finally accept they are not the only ones who have been wronged and that others have as well and acknowledging that and simply want to be heard as well, if they keep this mood and ideal and atmosphere up, then I can get behind it. Now there seems an air of equality that was massively missing. If they drop this atmosphere and continue like they have been, then no. Burn that banner in fire and start again because all it's doing is causing dividing and more destruction. Tbh it seemed the movement went to wanting special privileges and to be above equal than actually be raised to equality.
  2. Why can't u be both? The movement at ground level is imho something needed and something that needs to be, but at the same time u can be annoyed of how some people who are behind it use it as a platform to justify their racist ideals and not be shot down and have the public behind them under the disguise of "elevated power" of truth. Like religions, at ground level most religions have very important lessons that everyone can go by and knowledge on how to be a good or better person, and then people take the religion to push their own agenda. As a white person who tries to debate what they see wrong with some messages that are pushed under the banner of BLM are automatically either ignored outright because of the color of their skin, labeled honky, cracker, white supremist, slaver, etc and pushed down their throat that THEY are the ONLY victims (both present and past) all the while spouting racist remarks defending themselves that they can't be racist because only white people can be racist because white people are in charge. The message at ground level is something most people can get behind but when u start dealing with the some public who use the group to have their voice heard so they can voice their rage of the white man while calling anyone who disagrees with them a white supremist and racist......well. Like I said, it's both.
  3. I was more commenting on the most recent shootings than over all. I think the reason why other races don't really get outraged over this is twofold. One, most would think that if a cop shot an unarmed person and killed them, they were most likely resisting or trying to fight or run bc that's what we grew up with when taught to do what police said or that happened because they have the right to do so, usually first thing to pop in head. Two, now if u say anything bout it or post anything bout a situation where ur race was wronged on social media, it gets bombarded with accusations of trying to take the spotlight away from BLM, and that unless u knew the victim personally, it's usually not even worth it because of what u could or will go thru. Bad mojo. And three, we simply don't care unless it personally effects us bc we know cops are humans just like us and sometimes there's rotten ones and sometimes it's just a bad reaction or blowout with what they gotta put up with. U accept the bad unless it goes overboard because overall there's more good coming out of it. Not saying these are right, but reasons I can think of top of my head why nonblack people aren't as worked up bout what's going with police killing our race. I fully agree with you on the problem with police.
  4. That's fun with numbers, you have to look at the percentages to get a full idea of these statistics. Plus given the fact there is no central database kept that compiles these numbers, they are all estimates instead of cold hard facts. Which is ridiculous, we should mandate that police departments report these things. The government tracks every shark attack, but not shootings. https://action.aclu.org/secure/we-need-data It is true with numbers. Looking at the numbers is like a more bog. Yes white and Latinos have a higher death rate from being killed by cops, but whites make up 62% and Latinos make up 17% while blacks make up 12.5%? Then u factor in the locations and which race has higher crime rates and encounters with police etc etc etc. basically going back and forth with no real answer in sight that everyone can agree on. It's a huge cluster **** mess when trying to find and/or have an unbiased opinion or answer on everything. There's just to many variables which I rather not even try to get into right now. The police killing unarmed and innocent blacks is ****ed up and the incident in Dallas was ****ed up. It's just a huge **** up right.
  5. Not according to the document that stated how many of each race was killed by policemen. more white people were killed by the police than any other race. Our problem is our media in that they won't blow up stuff unless it gets a reaction. White cops killing black people will get blown out while black cops killing white people will only get brushed under. Instead of our news covering EvERYTHING, it only covers the stuff that will get a reaction outta people.
  6. I want a 1800's b&w victorian England CoC game with all the old b&w horror films main monsters being in it but each one as a CoC monster counter part. Another shadow run game by harebrain
  7. What is going on over here in America?
  8. From my years of Bethesda games, I don't ever quick save. I've played thru the game a few times and the only bug I've found was back in the day of my companions who are not in the party seen in random dungeon walls, that was when the game first came out and never saw it again after the first expansion came out. Those who are waiting for the patch, why wait? Turn off quick save, manual save and enjoy the game also the many characters I've created, I've never ran across the stacking bug at all.
  9. Just did a full playthru and didn't run into a single big at all. Really great game
  10. Stoned and playing jazzpunk. Such an awesome game
  11. Quick question, doing a full playthru on my PC and wondering when to do new game+? Should I do it after I beat the base game and the dlcs or should I beat base game then do new game+ and dlcs?
  12. Tbh I think the problem with our press is more important than who are next president is gonna be. I think our press is the reason for ALOT of our social problems over here.
  13. Then when the zombie apocalypse happens, where are the German zombies gonna get the rocket launchers then?
  14. Then it'd be a Britain without any Englishman lol
  15. ****ing A. Prayers for those in Turkey
  16. Then just boot up morrowind again with the overhaul mod, it's so nice. Riding and watching ur boat or strider travel and the landscape. Welp time to play some morrowind now dammit lol
  17. And thank you everybody for the answers to my question. I believe everyone was right lol.
  18. GD I see a real inconsistency in this type of statement, help please to understand this Patraeus and Snowden have both been found guilty of certain crimes...this is fact. Hilary has been accused of crimes....why is she associated with them? When the Cosby rape charges were revealed I said he was a disgrace and he was guilty, I said for this type of crime I dont need a jury to pronounce on his guilt ...to me thats just a technicality I was told by several members that in the USA people are not presumed guilty and there must be a legal obligation for them to go to court before we presume guilt So now it seems people give this courtesy to a truly deviant and reprehensible person like Cosby but Hilary we assume she is guilty before she even goes to court .....do you see why I appears hypocritical ? I think the thing is it's innocent until proven guilty, not "not guilty" until proven guilty. Innocence assumes that the person "hasn't" done anything wrong while not guilty is a judgement of "didn't" do anything wrong.As to why she's there with them, the only difference is she hasn't been to court yet for some reason I can't fathom, even though there's tons of evidence available to the public that IF was used in a court of law, she would be found guilty. More and more, it keeps looking like this election is rigged. Okay, but aren't we debating semantics now because this is not about my definition which is based on South Africa crime which is at an unprecedented level I was told by you guys in the USA people are innocent until proven guilty, that concept is simple enough but Hilary has by your own admittance not been guilty in a court of law yet people are fine saying she is guilty. I dont see how she is different? okay, think of it this way for example. Person gets caught WHILE in the process of doing a crime. It's on video, several eye witnesses, the whole shebang. When brought into court to have the case taken care, the court isn't just gonna hand out a punishment and then move on. Innocent until proven guilty means that every citizen has the right to try their case and have someone PROVE that they did something. You knew the person was guilty before the trial, but at the trial, the person has to be taken as an innocent person to the court only UNTIL the court proves they did something wrong and then person who did it gets punished. It's not the public that is caged by the rule, but it's the law who is because they deliver the punishment. So yes I can says she's guilty and say it now and before and during and after the trial IF it ever does and to me she's guilty. I don't enforce the law, the courts do, so they are the only ones who have to view them as innocent when the case first starts because they are the ones who enforce and punish if laws broken LEGALLY. Sometimes the public has had to step rightfully and wrongefully, because the court system would rule them that way. I'm a bit stoned so hopefully this came out legible.
  19. As an American, I do have a question. Why is our current politicians so gun go on England staying with the EU? As far as I'm aware we are not part of it, but I see Obama and Hillary fully supporting it and whatnot.

  21. I'm lost here. Are u saying that this is an example of Christian gang rape?
  22. Painkiller Black Edition I'll wager. Been wondering if a 50% discount is enough to grab Fallout 4 and how well integrated the DLC are, if they' re not very I might just grab the base game, if they are then I" ll hold off until a sale on the "GOTY edition" probably... Yes that's the one! Hopefully it's fun, it looks it. Some advice. If ur going into fallout 4 for rpg, then just go with base game right now or save ur money and don't buy. If ur going into fallout 4 for minecraftyness, then get all the dlc.
  23. Bought witcher 3 and the expansion pass for 40 some dollars. Went with the bundle and since I already had the first 2, it gave me just the 3rd one at an even cheaper discount. Also a shooter game on my lunch break, super cheap and reminded me of old school doom. Something black edition
