You need to learn yourself quite a bit more geography and history. Those are the colors of the 'Pan-African' flag. It has other names as well, but the gist of it is that it represents the people of Africa, their plight, their struggle for liberation, and African nationalism.

If cats make you happy you probably have a parasite in your brains!(srs)

On the other hand, if it wasn't for rodents, humans would never have existed in the first place. There's a big difference between theory and fact. -

Rodents are probably the #1 animal vector of disease and death in humans. They transmit far more nastiness than just the bubonic plague. In fact, only mosquitoes possibly beat them as a vector in terms of number of people killed. Though if you factor in other ways that rodents can hurt humans, such as eating and destroying vast quantities of food which leads to starvation and other diseases, rodents probably surpass mosquitoes to take the #1 killer of humans spot. As much as The Secret of N.I.M.H is a favorite movie of mine, the real world realities of mice and rats are far uglier than portrayed in that Don Bluth gem. People who 'love' anything or anyone based largely or primarily on how cuddly or cute factors, are crazy, ignorant, and/or just plain unintelligent to say the least. -
Al and co. were indeed prophetic.

In this particular situation the person wasn't shot.... It's unclear exactly what happened, but evidence suggests he was beaten to death, and pretty gruesomely at that. And most police do not need guns.

World Civics 101 Nah.. this one should have been covered for you in Jr. High. Either your schooling failed you. or you failed your schooling. The constitutional monarchy parliamentary governmental system in the United Kingdom and representative republic federal system in the U.S. are not the same system. In a many fundamental ways they are different. The two party system and two dimensional thought conceived right-left paradigm are for the most part smoke and mirrors, bought and paid for you by the ruling class that you elude to, know exists, but don't understand. That ruling class doesn't derive it's power from the government, it runs the government. Look to the puppet masters, not the puppets, for the ruling class. Voting alone will never dislodge them.

Until it's burning you I'd wager. Yet another situation where the police murdered a guy, and rather than combat the problem many use the problem as an excuse to do evil themselves.

Seriously? Please provide a google maps (or similar) link. This I gotta see.

There are good reasons there are terms like 'crazy cat lady' and 'cat people'. -

Spades be spades. Bruce Jenner is an attention seeking superficial lunatic with a twisted soul, to put it simply and nicely. That's what one could say before he decided to play girl. Playing girl is just an extension of his lunacy. Not much to see here in regards to him specifically. Sad perhaps it may be, but it is what it is, and not to be helped by anyone here. If there's a worthwhile story here, it's that on the march towards the New Dark Age insanity is lauded, promoted, and considered healthy and normal, rather than recognized for what it is. That's a deeper philosophical discussion than may be feasible to be reasonably had on this forum (and most other internet forums) however. We are indeed now long upon that dark road.

PoE 1 to ExPack to PoE 2

Yes. When you installed TOSC you could use the character and party you had completed BG1 with, and you could import your character into BG2. -
Sounds more like '****er' to me, but it could be 'bugger' I suppose. It's certainly not 'clear as day, no mistaking it'. The answer is likely in the rest of the show. Find another example of him saying 'bugger' in the video (I'm not listening to it) and compare. If he never uses the word, chances are extremely high it's not 'bugger' that he says at the time you're wondering about.

How convenient, since it's pretty much the only choice of "litmus test" that will allow you to defend your radical anti-Western bias. I know this is probably futile in an online discussion like this, but let me try and appeal to your rationality. Why should the freedom of speech regarding a very particular historical issue, which different societies and governments stand in very different relations to due to historical circumstances, be considered the most fair and useful universal "litmus test"? When something has a totally different historical importance and societal meaning to different groups, it should be plainly obvious to any fair-minded person, that it's not sensible to blindly compare the rules those different groups have built around that issue out of context and take them as an indicator for rules they would build around totally different issues. Here's a suggestion for an actually fair litmus test for free speech across different countries: Can a person with no wealth, power or influence publicly disparage the government (or even the head of state him or her-self), even in a crude and foul way, and not have to fear persecution? Unlike yours, this litmus test is fair because the issues at the heart of it apply to every country equally. All countries have governments that would prefer to be glorified rather than disparaged, because the latter could threaten their continued stay in power. Of course, you'll hate it because when applied to every country equally, it won't exactly confirm your anti-Western and pro-ruthless-semidictatorships biases. But deep down, the rational part of you will know that brushing it aside won't change the truth. PS: Which is not to say that most Western liberal democracies would rank 10/10 on that scale. Not even close. But relatively, they'd rank the highest. Like Tort has recently, you make assumptions based on your misinterpretation of the world and stereotypes you imagine. I have no 'radical anti-western bias' to point out one major mistake you're making. I'm not going to waste my time getting into the rest of it other than to stress the adjective I used: 'decent'. For plainly you ignored it.

My bad, I think I accidentally posted this in the wrong forum. It was meant for 'Way Off Topic'. Thanks to whomever moved it.

Manufacturing a false narrative and fomenting hatred happens all the time in the modern world. It's usually quite obvious too if one bothers to do a little digging and/or thinking. Rarely is it so blatantly obvious: http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/04/22/killing-jews-is-worship-posters-will-soon-appear-on-nyc-subways-and-buses

I don't get it. Are Hispanics and Blacks incapable of being conservative? No one that isn't grossly mistaken or deluded would get it. Of course they aren't incapable, and there's plenty of them. This thread is supposed to be about a 'conservative' Hispanic guy: Ted Cruz. It doesn't really matter either way though... Guard Dog is largely right, there's pretty much no tangible difference between the Democratic party and the Republican party on the issues that actually matter, and that are within the legal purview of the Federal government. They have the same puppet masters, that play both sides of the game they set up to get what they want. The illegality, corruption, and evil goes a bit further back than FDR though. FDR just put it all into overdrive, slammed on the nitro button, and then plunged the U.S. into a war to top it all off.

Shots fired! Shots miss! Not really. One of the most common and primary complaints against state sponsored health care is the sometimes ridiculously long waiting periods to see a physician. This is a common complaint in at least both the U.K. and Canada. And as I live within a couple hours of Canada and have friends and family working in medicine I'm aware of Canadians coming over the border for medical treatment. In contrast, if I was in Mungri's shoes I could see someone within 24 hours, and depending on the time of day, very possibly within a few hours. And that's not considering emergency room care. It of course depends on where in the U.S. you live if you're able to see someone this fast (years ago when I lived in Vegas they had a doctor shortage coupled with an aged population at the time so you might have to wait a few days for something like what Mungri's got (or longer if you just had a head cold (which you generally shouldn't bother going to the doctors for anyways, but people do)), but in general, this is how it is throughout much of the U.S.. If you want to see a specific doctor though, then you might have to wait, depending on that specific doctor's office policies and your status with them as a patient. All in all though, contrary to popular myth, healthcare is generally far more accessible in the U.S. than in most if not all state sponsored health care systems. In regards to Mungri's specific situation, cancer isn't cool. It's no joke, even in what appears to be a isolated case. The ugly truth is that if you've got cancer in one spot, in the long run you're likely to get it in others if you don't change your lifestyle (consumption habits often especially). Cancer is more often than not, environmental in origin, be it something you're eating or something you're exposing yourself to in some other fashion. It is not the natural state of a healthy body.

Fixed for you Yea.... for whatever your average Canadian is, or most Ukranians are, they are no more Nazis that most everyone else in the western world is.

Ukraine has hot women. Nuking Ukraine would be bad for you, unless you'd like nuclear fallout floating your way. Ukraine > Canada as it has at least a few citizens willing to fight for their freedom, and few willing to bow to a queen. All that said, Valentina is of Polish and Russian ethnicity. And yea... the TSO's move here was disgusting.

EI Mod and my opinions
Valsuelm replied to Mdalton31's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
I'm not saying the game is short, or long. I haven't finished it yet. However, all the 'hours played' as indicated by Steam indicates is how long you've had the game running, not how long you've actually played the game. Maybe he looked at his savegame? Mine says 53 hours and I've just entered act 3. Steam says 164 hours, but that's over multiple characters. Yea... I misunderstood the post. Nevermind mine.
