Baton Rouge Police Shooting
I do have to say Sheriff David Clarke is pretty awesome.

What You Did Today
Just booked a short little trip down to Vegas for me and the wife. Look, family vacations are great. We did some amazing stuff and I loved it. But we also shared a confined space for 3 weeks, stepped on each other, snapped at each other, and had a good share of melt downs. The wife and I need a little space to decompress from that. There is no romance on family RV trips.

What's on the idiot box?
I started watching Stranger Things with my 9-year old daughter, thinking it would be closer to ET and Stephen King's IT. I might have made a mistake there.

US Election 2016, part III
Where are you getting 1000 times? If he started with 100 million and grew it to 10 billion, that would be 100 times what he started with. For your patronizing example you gave Pidesco, that would turn his 1,000 into 100,000. Nice, but hardly impressive over a 40 year period. edit: Also, most financial groups peg him around 3-4 billion, not 10 billion like he says.

Wake up. What further evidence do you need that the 'Libertarian Party' has been hijacked beyond Jeb Bush or Mitt Romney saying they might go that way? At the end of the day, that party is owned by the same people who own the Blues and the Reds, and has been for at least a few elections at this point. Ah, so if by some miracle Johnson manages to get enough votes to win, you can just say the libertarians are really just a part of the big 2 parties. How convenient for your rhetoric. Also your math is off by a few zeroes. If Pid had 100,000 then he could turn it into a million by investing smartly over 40 years. Not 1,000. But the reality is simply that Trump is a rich guy. It's much easier to take risks and fail when you've got a healthy fallback plan. He's not playing with the same deck as 99% of the population. But not many politicians are.

Baton Rouge Police Shooting
BLM is a protest group against police brutality. There is nothing on their website about shooting police officers. If you want to blame the entire BLM movement for the shooting deaths of police officers, I hope you are also blaming all police every time they kill someone unjustly.

Movies You've Seen Recently Thread
Whoops, thought you were talking about Free State of Jones. When I saw that preview, I always wondered why they didn't tell the story of John Brown and Harper's Ferry. Seemed like better material. This one does look interesting. Confessions of Nat Turner is part of my classroom library, it's an interestingt piece.

Things are not nice in Nice
Some people here are so quick to jump on the failed multiculturalism and anti-Islam message when these events happen, while completely ignoring the economics and mental health of these terrorists. Most groups self segregate when they have large scale immigration. That's why most cities that have faced major immigration have districts like Little Italy, Chinatown, etc. This is a complex situation. You have a chunk of disenfranchised young people facing difficult economic circumstances, you have a group like ISIS that aims to take advantage of those young people by feeding their discontent with violence. You have a growing hostility towards all Muslims, which further disenfranchises the youth and makes it easier for ISIS to influence, and you have a religion that is fractured and facing tremendous violence within their own states.

The 'Sidian Tyranny thread
It has nothing to do with whether or not their is flesh under the armor or not. It was purely an art design thing. At least for me. Just did a PST play through a month or so back and it is fresh on the mind. Also, I think Devil is a bit more like HK47 than Vhailor, and HK was always Modron Cube 2.0 with a side of evil to me. Also, on an unrelated PST observation, Morte and Bob the Skull have to be related. They are both cousins of Murray.

Most Muslims in France are citizens of France (being old colonist super power has habit to make country's population diverse) and most terrorists in past couple dark years has been home grown. The guy was of North African origin. It was not a native French, even if it is 2nd or 3rd generation, it is not home grown. it is still a result of importing alien and hostile culture. What? You can't just change the definition of a word to make it fit your narrative. Well, I guess you can, but it sounds ridiculous.

US Election 2016, part III
Fun facts: I am voting for a libertarian candidate for the second straight election. I voted for Obama, Nader, and Clinton in the past. My wife has voted Republican since she was old enough. She is also leaning heavily towards Johnson. I have a number of Republican friends posting Big Johnson jokes and showing favor towards him. This is a pretty different election, I say vote for who you think is the best candidate and ignore all the naysayers.

US Election 2016, part III
Everybody is freaking out about Ginsburg's comments, and the chance that we will get another one of her on the SC. But she is 83 years old, so I'd try to keep that in mind. The odds are more likely we'll get two moderates to replace Scalia and Ginsburg in the long run, because even with a liberal President, you've got a conservative congress.

How Much Freedom of Expression/Speech in Tyranny?
Geez, I just hope the game is fun. You worry about weird stuff. edit: Here is a challenge. Look through a most anticipated games list of 2016 or 1017, and tell me which ones have been seriously influenced by some sort of SJW agenda. Is the marine in Doom fighting social justice issues instead of demons now? No, just play games and ignore the stupid people.
