  1. That's nice and everything but we still have countries and we still have armies, people still band together based on culture and ethnicity, there is still a need for the security provided by the nation state. That security is provided by the excercise of force. What would the social contract be without a big stick to back it up.
  2. If there has been one constant throughout human history it has been warfare and conquest. Somehow I doubt we are done with that.
  3. An anarchist utopia I would imagine to be a village size community of say a few thousand people were everyone could participate daily in direct democracy, as opposed to the representative kind, so what happens when the warlord from the neighbouring town invades. Doesn't history teach us that the creation of empires, and by extention nation states is unavoidable.
  4. I like the concept art. The gameplay footage, if that's what it is, not so much.
  5. It's windows 9 not windows 10. Makes me wonder what they are going to do next time. Maybe a reboot so the actual windows 10 will be 'windows' by microsoft.
  6. What's the alternative though, aren't people always going to seek power and to consolidate that power. If we did away with all nation states, how long before they would arise again ?
  7. So we have to familiarize ourselves with what must be a several thousand page curriculum before we can partake. I have to say I like the ambition.
  8. I thougth this was interesting for how the Communists managed to sieze control of a popular movement and turn it authoritarian. You can skip past the questions.
  9. Those character design pics are indeed pretty horrible. What's up with the cutlass - bow. Is she going to parry sword blows with it ? I think the problem here is reliance on a 3d engine. Start with pen and paper instead.
  10. It's kinda funny how you keep painting this as a second spanish civil war. Is everyone in Russia lapping that up or what ?
  11. Is that a pedal function. Does it have both axes using the palm of your hand or is it purely decorative ? Just sayin' that would be a cool way to scroll. http://www.counter-strike2.hu/hirek/tesztek/madcatz-r-a-t--egersorozat-jatekosoknak_2012-05-01
  12. There was that story with the shootings in the 'projects' years ago. Now it's downtown Bayrut for lack of better.
  13. Wait, since when did Islam become a person with a skin pigmentation? You do realize that Islam is a fascistic, superstition-based ideology and not a race? Political correctness really diminishes mental capacity. If you don't know what was wrong with your post you are clearly too far gone for any reasoning to have an effect. Just as a reminder, we work on a three strikes you're out rule. Any further discussion should be via PM. It doesn't serve any purpose for a moderator to get embroiled in flame wars with forum members.. Don't feed the trolls, and don't give them an audience either etc.
  14. There are professional situations where sex is a bad idea and if an affair is discovered can lead to termination and there is the legal age of concent. These should be the only considerations in these cases. The law isn't supposed to care about the percieved morality or lack thereof of sleeping with - whomever the case may be.
  15. If you are looking to rent in Copenhagen you are in for a long wait. There's basically nothing available except hotels or high end high turnover luxury appartments or maybe one of those apparment sharing apps. Every year thousands of students end up with nothing and have to commute for hours from the burbs.
  16. What's wrong with animal whisper. I mean aside from the fact that I would rather have a wastewolf companion than an MMO pet with a tiny bonus attached.
  17. Do you mean abandoned railroad ?. Don't think I have the abandoned airfield location, maybe I botched a dialouge that would have gotten me there. I finished the Titan canyon and i'm doing Damota and silo 7 or whatever it was called now. It annoyed me that I had unfinised business at the prison so I thought I would try and get in. Anyway if it drops random and I've already sold it then I'm probably screwed anyway.
  18. The regular robot treads don't work, it has to be component numer such and such, supposedly it drops random. Fist chance at the radio tower. I must have sold it.
  19. I can't get into the prison. Exhausted all options except attacking the turrets head on. I'd have to wait for more companion cannon fodder before I try, they don't last long as they don't usually get prioritized for healing. Playing on ranger difficulty you are kinda forced to chose who to spend medpacks on.
  20. Not slapping her because she was a girl is clearly sexist.
  21. I got a Razer Naga. A needlessly expensive and pretentious thing that I guess views itself as something inbetween the second comming of Christ and the Iphone of mice if you believe the manual. It comes with stickers so you can... throw them out like you did with those from your motherboard and GFX You have to supply an email and sign up to get the driver and interface applet you use for keymapping and tweaking. I surmise the intent is to collect emails and user data for marketing purposes. Not even kidding. I like the keypad on the side, although it's not ergonomic enough, your thumb tends to slide off when hitting certain keys. Fortunately it works fine with a standard windows driver. It uses the USB recognition codes to emulate a keyboard specfically F1-F4 and The keypad. It's a 'gamer mouse'. You can tell by the pulsating LED backlit logo and buttons. Everything works. It's good but not great. Long story short I broke my Logitech and this was what they had at the store.
  22. You don't think the mission statment of Nazism and Socialism matter, I mean they are ideologies as much as political systems. Lots of reasons to put in place programmes to deal with unimployment and economic stagnation. I suppose facism is socialism for those obsessing about the strong nation state and the cult of personality. Enough reason to have two different words to describe them. That is... one is not the other, unless you insist on deconstruction. The further one goes down that road the less things make sense.
