And fortunately so Sure, if you're into mass ignorance...

I stumbled upon this the other day, while looking for 'Happy Birthday' videos to send to a friend. Not what I was looking for, not what I expected, but damn, it's good. Studio version w/ lyrics: Live version in Germany w/ Tatu: Few songs have ever brought tears to my eyes. This one did. A message lost on so many people...

It is indeed a failure on Obsidian's part when there are people (I'm one of them) who will not buy their product unless a third party mod, which for the most part provides basic options/features/improvements that should be in the game anyways, is updated for it. In other words, we shouldn't even need the IE Mod. What it does should already be in the game. Especially at this point.

You seem to like to imagine things that were not said, or are not there, as well as to argue these imagined things just to argue and save some kind of imagined face. Alas, I am reminded of why I stopped coming here.

Well, US was in the Civil War at the time. Also I'm not sure how something that happened 150 years ago is relevant now. It isn't relevant. Nor was Abraham Lincoln an 'arch-conservative', especially by the standards of the day. Nor was his suspension of Habeas Corpus unconstitutional if you're in the camp that the war he lead on the south was against a rebellion, and not an act of aggression. And yet the current GOP call themselves the party of Lincoln. And it's not like Bush Jr was any better about paying attention to the Constitution given that he sent American citizens to Gitmo to torture them for information about AlQueda and others. And yet you don't even seem to understand it yourself. You treat it as some sort of sacred text that shall never be changed because that's how it was, and how your founders created it. Never minding the fact that it was created with notes about how slaves counted for voting. And I'm not sure how you think Freedom of Religion is being misused, it's there to prevent the government from saying "We're Chrisitans, so hang up your stars and crecent moons, you're worshipping the cross or going to jail!" Ultimately American student's don't study the Constitution because it doesn't really effect them day to day. The laws that do effect them are taught to them before they're six as part of standard socialization. After all, I don't think a 12th grader is going to argue their constitutional rights in front of a judge.. that's why we have lawyers. And most of the time those who think they are "properly educated" (as in they read what they wanted to) are usually just involved in the groupthink of their community. Ignoring the fact "Right to Bare Arms" didn't exactly have RPG's or Cannons in mind. 'And yet', again, irrelevant. What some of the GOP advertises themselves is as relevant as what snake oil X salesman says his concoction can do, and just about as sincere. The reality is that modern GOP has less in common with the Republican Party of Linoln's time than the Democratic Party of the same era did. At the national level, both parties are corrupt to the core. The words that come out of their mouths, in particular the mouths of the party 'leadership' and the RNC/DNC are less sincere or factual than the average proverbial used car salesman's. As for the rest of what you say: more irrelevant to what I was saying nonsense.

That said, in modern times, very few politicians at the national level respect and appreciate the U.S. Constitution, and it's likely that almost as few have even read it. Something that most of even the worst politicians at the national level in the 19th century had, and had done. Is it actually possible to graduate from school in USA without getting passing grade from course about constitution? (Not any way relating in topic, but I am just curios) You're talking about a country where random Joe doesn't even know all 51 states. 50. And the general populace is generally no smarter or better informed anywhere else in modern times either.

Is it actually possible to graduate from school in USA without getting passing grade from course about constitution? (Not any way relating in topic, but I am just curios) Yes. It's safe to say that most people have never read it, even though it's not exactly a long read. Hence the not these days uncommon 'this isn't constitutional' claims from various sides of debates, where the it's clear that those saying it have never read the document. Even fewer have read the Federalist and anti-federalist papers, or other historical documents, which give a pretty clear indication of what was intended in the U.S. Constitution (some aspects of it have been thoroughly corrupted or ignored over the years; most famously (but not only) the 'commerce clause'). A school might discuss certain aspects of it, ie: most people have an idea of the protection of free speech in the 1st amendment, but at the same time a large chunk of those people totally misunderstand the 'freedom of religion' aspect of the same amendment. One could chalk this up to their lack of reading comprehension, or their lack reading, period. Reading the U.S. Constitution isn't even required in most law schools (one would think your average lawyer should be familiar with the supreme law of the land, but a great many are not). Nor is it required for most if not all of the various public officials and military personal who swear to uphold it. Most of these folks don't even know what exactly it is they are upholding. The sad truth is that the vast majority of those who have died 'defending it' have never even read it. This is no small reason why we're quite far down the road to hell, and very far from the free republic we are supposed to be.

A president nominates a justice. The senate confirms. It is possible for a president to nominate a justice and then have that justice confirmed after the president leaves office.

You're asking for a real lot from the forum dwellers here. For them to watch a video to inform themselves about a topic they've always just taken as granted is far too great an undertaking for most here. That said, for the few who are capable of such undertakings, here's the press conference with the astronauts from Apollo 11. What is said, isn't said, and probably most importantly how it's said, speaks volumes...

Basically, he could be working on some quests and characters for PoE2 in future as part-time. Not going to happen.

As well he should be.

Too much of this thread has been discussing some crazy ex-wife. Back to Bowie por favor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVgk7wYeZHw

Au contraire! He has very good taste in music. He just didn't care about yours.

NOOOOOOOO!!!! indeed.... Just yesterday I downloaded his new album. Also grabbed one of Iggy Pop's and did a "Wow, I didn't know that!" last night when I learned that Iggy had penned 'China Girl' with Bowie and released his own version of it a few years before Bowie released his. It was a blow this morning when I read the news. A first for me today, I actually shed a tear at the death of a celebrity. Bowie was unique, to say the least. I'm going to miss his always pure fresh. Blackstar is a masterpiece by the way... Forever a hero, a starman, a goblin king, and so much more. His legacy will outlive everyone here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvLnPO9t4Wg
