  1. Likely will exist... Divinity: Original Sin 2 is on the way.

  3. Stop posting here. Go find ye a nice lady of European heritage and have some kids, many of them. Make sure you're relevant in the future!
  4. I know you joking but the EU is very important and relevant The EU is an example of how many other similar blocks of countries outside the EU can create political unions to achieve economic prosperity for its citizens For example the African Union wanted to achieve what the EU has done Some of the "negative " realities of being in the EU are certain issues all Western countries in some way or the other has to grapple with ...you are held to a higher standard and there is an expectation how the EU needs to conduct itself that leads to domestic frustration as its only the EU that is trying to adhere to a higher moral ground For example the obvious development around all these refugees arriving in the EU....many people in the EU feel they have some sort of obligation to take in these refugees. It will vary from country to country but IMO why should the EU have to do something that not even countries in the ME are doing? I have said this many times but its a bizarre situation were Sunni Muslim countries in the ME like Saudi Arabia, UAE and Qatar wont take any refugees yet the EU thinks it has to But I still believe the EU will ultimately become stronger from all this as degrees of multiculturalism are a good thing, it just needs to be managed If ever there was a cheerleader for dystopia, you are he.
  5. What a beautiful thing democracy is in a nation with a King!
  6. - An officially Blizzard supported WoW server with Vanilla, BC, or WotLK (pre ICC nerf), preferably the first two. - A new Chrono game with the same team of lead designers and music composers as Trigger had, with 100% creative license. (I'd actually buy a console system just for this)
  7. The guys at Obsidian probably deserve it tbh Whatever the guys at Obsidian may deserve, there's nothing in that post that indicates he was talking about them.
  8. A 2E Ravenloft game ala the IE engine based primarily on the classic original module, would be absolutely awesome.
  9. I understand what you're saying, and you're right. However, the voters generally do not choose who the delegates are. What Volo is getting at is the whole voting process by Joe/Jane Voter is to at least some degree (varying depending on the state and party) pretend. 'Let the masses think their vote matters!' is somewhat the new 'Let them eat cake!'. It's been that way for a very very long time. Most just have never realized it, but it has never been more clear the way this election is unfolding, and a lot of folks are waking up to this unpleasant reality.
  10. "Ukrainian 20-year old silicon girl" LOL So sad, there are many legitimately beautiful women out there in Ukrainian land. To be supplanted by siliconed superficial. Alas. I kinda like Oby's input. When it doesn't make absolutely no sense whatsoever it usually is amusing. It's even sometimes insightful, albeit rarely. Even moreso than many who post here regularly are capable of. Keep talking Oby!
  11. Inconsequential.
  12. I'd bet a very sizable amount of money that the red party will not be in the White House if anyone but Trump is the nominee, no matter who the blue party puts up.
  13. Has Val ever expressed any support for the wall? Nope.
  14. How can you be familiar with the rule yet not familiar with it's history? Look up it's history, and that should tell you all you need to know.
  15. I find you adorable in how tightly you stick to the extreme right's story. "Hillary is a criminal!" Cried the right, "where's the charges?" asked everyone else. "The wall will work!" cried the right, "But how will it be paid for and what laws will we have to suspend to build it?" asked everyone else "The election is rigged!" Cried the right, "Ok, then how is Trump the GOP frontrunner, and Sanders still in range to take the election from Hillary?" asked everyone else. You can rationalize a lot of things, but I sincerely doubt that Hillary being a "criminal" will every come to pass. And for a constitutionalist, you seem to ignore "Innocent until Proven Guilty" being a tenant of the Constitution (as established in Coffin v United States), and just blithely run around declaring guilt without evidence (beyond the rhetoric that has been spouted by those on the right since they realized Hillary was the presumptive nominee in last May) Calling Hillary criminal is not exclusively the purview of 'the right'. Saying elections are rigged is not exclusively the purview of 'the right'. 'Far', 'moderate', or 'close'. In fact, people on both sides of your polarized world do both, especially in regards to the latter. 'Criminal' has more meanings than just those in regards to illegality. Insofar as those particular meanings go however, being a criminal is not reliant on being convicted in a court of law that one is such, in fact the most successful criminals usually never even see a court of law. Your comments on the wall are strawman bunk as well as fly in the face of reality. Insofar as 'innocent until proven guilty'. That applies to legal prosecution, and I'm all for it, Hillary is no exception. However, a fundamental problem is that she hasn't been (and more than likely won't be) indicted. She isn't any kind of notable exception. There's an entire class of 'above the law' people out there, that get away with all sorts of things all the time if you haven't noticed. And if you really haven't noticed, your head is very deep in that sand. Unpolarize yourself, expand your vocabulary, and get your facts straight.
  16. The entire video I find offensive, he clearly has an issue with Transgender community and he refers to them as " somethings " We know you are offended extremely easily. No need to remind us.
  17. The democratic race will only get interesting if Sanders starts publicly and vehemently calling out the DNC and Hillary for rigging the election, as well as calling her out for the criminal that she is. It can also become interesting if Sanders continues to run for President even if he doesn't get the nomination. An independent Sanders, along with an independent Trump, together with the two party stooges, all running for President, would make a really interesting election. As well as very probably see the end of the ~160 year duopoly on the White House, something the U.S. desperately needs, and a whole helluva lot of people want. I don't see Sanders doing it though. Wish he would, and I've no doubt most of his supporters do too, but I don't think he has the balls. Hope I'm wrong.
  18. I love how people comment on things that they fairly obviously haven't watched.
  19. Wearing a wig and a dress does not make you transgender. edit: Or rather I should say there is much more to it than that. This specific case, where someone is videotaping others in the bathroom, has nothing to do with transgender rights. If he was in the men's room videotaping it would be just as serious a crime. Satire Hurlshot, satire.... The title of the video and the opening story is just a lead in.

  21. On this too you are wrong. While the Chinese did indeed build a wall over 2000 years ago, the majority of what is today considered the 'Great Wall of China' was built during the 14th-17th centuries, under the Ming Dynasty. There have been walls built all over throughout history, and in modern times. They vary in their efficaciousness. Fact is that there's currently already a wall along much of the U.S. border with Mexico, and there was supposed to be an expansion of it, however that (along with enforcement of much of the border in general) has been quashed under the Obama administration. There are currently walls all over, one is somewhat famously between Israel and the West Bank (which is expanding as we speak). I could go on. Truly, you have no idea what you are talking about. Frankly, I do not think you are capable of serious debate with anyone. Serious debates require honesty and an ample level of knowledge on a subject. You are too dishonest with yourself, and have never so far as I've ever seen demonstrated an ample level of knowledge on anything you've ever discussed on these forums. Again and again people point out where you're wrong, and again and again you pretend it doesn't happen.
  22. As far as I know (and I welcome correction on this point), there's no such thing as an illegal citizen in the US. Naturalized citizens would have to be denaturalized to be deportable and citizens by birth can only renounce their citizenship, not be denaturalized. Legally at least (I know they're are cases where the courts have due to judicial error deported people). You are pretty much correct. Put simply, they aren't 'illegal citizens', they are illegal aliens. It's one of many things Bruce has wrong. He's often like a 3rd grader who hasn't been paying attention to the math teacher telling an astrophysicist how to go about their calculations, then having the audacity to double down when the astrophysicist nicely explains why he's wrong. Calling me a 3 rd grader is rich coming from you Vals, you the guy who believe 9/11 was committed by the USA to itself And you call me uninformed Yes Bruce, you are generally uninformed about near everything you ever talk about, as for the most part all you ever do is parrot the talking points of propaganda source X. Parroting something, talking point or thought process given to you, is not being informed. Also, cognitive dissonance, the natural result of swallowing the diet of pure B.S. you yum up so often, is not a positive asset. I easily spent over ~200 hours researching 9/11 some years back, watching footage, interviews, documentaries directly/indirectly related to the event, reading all sorts of stuff, and re-watching much of what I'd already seen. I even had the opportunity to speak with people who were in the buildings as well as that were in the military responding to the event that day (I've lived very close to a military installation that was directly involved in that event). I've spent much more than that ~200 hours contemplating all that I took in. The truth in regards to that event is a very ugly and hard pill to swallow. It is a pill that most people will not want to swallow, and most will ignore. The truth is also quite complex. It is not as simple as '9/11 was committed by the USA to itself'. This is not something I wish to discuss with you, as frankly it would be a waste of my time. You are probably the most close minded person and one of the least truly informed people on this forum (at least of the folks who post here regularly). Ironically, and even somewhat tragically for yourself, you believe the opposite. You have my sincere pity.
  23. Search for "Marco Rubio Pasta". So it's not just a local joke...
  24. Hard day ended by few drinks mate? I wish. :D To be honest I just got lost in thought thinking about how EVERYONE likes to imagine themselves as smart, how the world has more than a handful of stupid people who are blissfully unaware of their own intelligence, I honestly struggle to name people I know who will admit to their own modest intelligence, and then I caught myself questioning "how does one know if they're smart?" I mean I've been called smart by friends, family, acquaintances, employers, teachers, professors, but surely that's everyone right? You do something right, go about something the correct way or give a correct answer and the go-to compliment as a sign of appreciation is "you're smart," so it's really rather meaningless. So then I thought "sadly not as simple as just asking people, OR IS IT" and joked about how hilariously stupid it sounds to ask people that question, and decided it sounds even more hilarious if it's asked to a group of strangers. On the interbutts. Laughed pretty hard to myself at the idea, debated posting this or not so as to spare you guys from such a stupid thread, then decided to do it just cause I wanted to see what on earth people would respond with as it sounded like a hilariously awkward topic. I must say the responses didn't disappoint. Wish I could use alcohol as an excuse, sadly I just act like this even without something screwing with my head. :D Intelligence is many things, one of them is a relative thing. 'Smart' usually refers to it in a relative manner. i.e.: In some rooms Kim Kardasian is no doubt the smartest person in the room, moron that she is when compared to the society at large, and a testament to just how even more moronic many are that she's as popular as she is for what she does. The average IQ is 100. That's enough to function in society in most respects, more than enough to post on forums, but it is not smart, especially when compared to the population as a whole (alas). I'll wager a bundle that you are at least a 110 (meaning you're smarter than at least 75% of the people out there), just for asking yourself that question in the manner you did. Note: Being smarter than most can be a very frustrating venture if you have any scruples, or a boon if you're evil and have none. If you went to public school, you very probably took a sanctioned I.Q. test at at least one point (most private schools also administer them at some point(s)). Your parents should have had the opportunity to find out what that I.Q. was. Ask them perhaps, and mayhap they can tell you. That said, I.Q. is not the end all be all of intelligence, it has it's limits, but it also has it's uses. An observation I have made that is that most people have the potential to be smarter than they are, but they chose to be ignorant (for all sorts of reasons) which undermines their intelligence potential and often even pushes them into insanity land in the long run. Ignorance is a choice, so more often than not, is sanity. Stay away from alcohol, it will stymie your brain power, and it's never a good excuse for anything, fun though it temporarily may be (former bartender here) . Edit: I just remembered that it was you who made this post. I change my above bet to I'd bet my life you're at the very least a 110, and I'll bet a bundle you're above 125 (that's smarter than 95% of the people out there). Insight like that is not common, which you may have already noticed. I don't know what your life situation is, but don't waste your time in retail unless you absolutely have to, and if you do have to, work to get out of it asap. You've more potential than most. Truly.
