Dragon Age: Inquisition
...must resist obvious references... it's hard Edit to add: Still debating with myself whether to get the game or not. At the moment the nays have it. Maybe a few months into the new year. If she doesn't know that 'Nationalist Socialist' means Nazi as most people understand the term then surely that would be worth pointing out. Not really a mistake you want to continue to make.

Ukraine Discussion
Isn't South Ossetia Russian now (or Russia recognises it as a soverign state rather) and was a breakaway province of Georgia. So who were the grabbers there ?

Ukraine Discussion
The EU thought Turkey was too far away, although they probably meant culturally. Anyway doesn't Georgia hate Russia already and have been begging for NATO inclusion like forever.

Movies you've seen recently
The Volourn© quality assessment is 100% correct as usual. Adjust for up being down, black being white, left..etc. Acutually they are all pretty meh. Except the first LotR movie, I liked that one a lot.

US tortures
I kinda view the difference between lifting that burden together as the difference between being a self absorbed teenager and becoming, you know, an adult. The US has taken the first baby steps, hopefully the whole thing won't revert with a new president.

US tortures
That, and insurers are middlemen, driving the price up and making the actual cost of services provided by hospitals hard to decipher. Having the goverment be the main employer is much more efficient. This what makes it possible to lift the huge burden of providing healthcare to everyone. The secondary market for non essential healthcare such as elective surgery and dental care ect. is then private. It's a model that is tried and tested and works well in Europe and Japan for instance.

US tortures
What do you mean. The point is just to abandon a falied dogmatic approach to Cuban forgein relations. This is a good thing. Shows character being able to examine and learn from your own mistakes.

US tortures
Depends on what you want with healthcare. If it's the most ammount of healthcare for the least ammount of money it makes sense to eliminate profit driven aspect of it as much as possible. You know, like they do in civilized countries.

US tortures
I'm not sure I would classify sleep deprivation as torture. Pretty standard interogation technique actually. Waterboarding, rape with a broomhandle, the threat of rape or violence against family members, rectal dehydration (whatever that is it's got to be nasty) Those things are definitely not 'mild'.

US tortures
The US is to immediately implement the metric system and the 230v - 50hz standard or I will use my giant laser to ignite the atmosphere.

US tortures
Biggest deal about all of this is how the judgement seems to be that nothing of any consequence was gained through torture that couldn't have been gained through other means. Only the torturers themselves seem think oftherwise. I also question of what use these prisoners and their intel are after they have developed psychosis and are living more or less in their own fantasy world to escape their situation.

Ukraine discussion
So apparently Russa is going to the moon, setting up a permanent base. This totally isn't nostalgia for the USSR. I wonder how long before the moon will vote to become a member of the Russian federation.

The "Cool" Images Thread
I guess I just don't understand you endophine junkies who like to torture yourselves with various kinds of strenuous physical activity. It's alll kinds of dangerous, the view is nice, but surely that wears off after 5 mins.

It would be an accomplishment if there was some point to going there, the top of Everest or whatever. As it is it's just a hobby for rich mid life crisis afflicted people. Buy a Lambo instead, they don't give you frostbite.
