The Political Thread - Hobbes Edition
I have no idea what it is like to live in a 3rd world country, so I'm not going to speak for these people. Unsurprisingly that doesn't stop most of you here.

Plenty of room for all types of games. Also RDR2 is totally an RPG. But so is MLB The Show.

I tend to agree with GD. Trump is no fool, but he is a gambler and he's worked his way into the highest stake game out there. Like all celebrities, he's got a big streak of narcissism, but he's also found a way to use that to attract votes. That alone makes it impossible to dismiss him as a fool.

The Political Thread - Hobbes Edition
It's pretty clear that Trump is using this whole caravan news, along with the birthright stuff, to generate momentum going into the midterms. Sadly it may work. The idea that we need to build a giant wall across the huge border we share with our neighbor is ridiculous, but it helped him win the election, so why not go to that well again? http://time.com/5260569/brownsville-border-wall-texas-mexico/

Why isn't it a Rockstar-type open world game?

Red Dead Redemption 2 tells a heck of a story. The characters are just fantastic. Rockstar has always been pretty good at creating memorable characters, but I'm going to have to put this a notch above anything they've done before. It is basically the video game equivalent of Deadwood. The nuances of my own PC is what gets me. There are some pretty deep layers at play here. Heck, even my horse has more personality than most NPC's in video games.

So it is your position that every single immigrant is an economic boon to the recipient country? No.

So what do you see as a less arbitrary way? I mean, is that really less arbitrary than where your parents are from?

There you go Volo, one more for the right wing list.

The next paragraph says: Then it gives caveats. But I suppose this is just a case of how perspective affects the way we look at data.

Maybe Google "immigration cost US"? Nah...here the link: Do immigrants cost U.S. taxpayers $300 billion annually? That article does not support your claim. It calls it a half-truth.

I've never seen economic data that agrees with you. This was a fun find. Amazing how progressive Bush looks compared to Trump: https://www.bushcenter.org/publications/resources-reports/reports/immigration.html?gclid=Cj0KCQjwguDeBRDCARIsAGxuU8ZKF8rI0ehE7iZz7V9Z490M0CByqseFABhYImVhKvRSF1KjvbFAXigaAk1TEALw_wcB

Why? Honestly I scratch my head over why it should be difficult to get citizenship. Are we overpopulated? Is it bad for the economy?

I was curious as well, but it will have to wait until I have the house to myself.

In Red Dead Redemption 2, I let an injured war vet hug me and lifted a horse off a lady. I also cheated at an accuracy contest and fought some people. Oh, I hunted some animals and browsed the latest catalogues. I also brushed my horse, got a haircut, took a bath (without the extra, since the kids were home) and ate a good stew. Then I read some books. Oh and I polished my gun. This game has a tremendous amount of stuff to do. Also my horse has been pooping a lot and I might need to adjust his diet.

Red Bruce is the new name for SonicMage. I assume the red is for Republican, not Communism.- The Political Thread - Hobbes Edition

I don't know, I read an article in Game Informer and it makes it sounds a lot more like a regular RPG than all the buzz that is floating around. I will probably wait for some real reviews. edit: It sounds like quest will mostly be through atmospheric storytelling, aka tapes and computers. Considering I think that is what Bethesda is best at, I'm willing to give it a chance. Honestly I tend to hate all their NPC's anyways. Diamond City was filled with annoying people.- Play Ball!

I'm not sure about the whole playoff choker thing, but there is an expectation that the greatest players in the world can elevate their game when the stakes are highest. Kershaw is a HoF pitcher and will be remembered for being great, but he is also going to be remembered for not getting it done in the postseason. It's going to tarnish is legacy. Price, on the other hand, has improved his legacy with this run. I never saw Ovechkin and a playoff underperformer. He has 117 points in 121 games.- What are you playing right now?
I'd imagine a lot of people are excited for Fallout 76. I will probably buy it even with my reservations. At the end of the day I still put 80 hours into Fallout 4. - The Political Thread - Hobbes Edition
