  1. Almost nobody takes religion seriously in the states, and the few who do spend more time celebrating dead soldiers and shooting up their work places than helping people. Religion really brings out the unreasonable side of you, Namutree.
  2. Yes, all the churches in my neighborhood are hotbeds of violence, what with their soup kitchens and clothing drives.
  3. Well now is the time to raise a stink, like we've had to do in the past. It still isn't attached to the bill, so it can be held up.
  4. I'd love for us to get a Civ V game going, and that way we could play it over a period of time and you don't have to all be online at the same time.
  5. This is a bit crazy. New York apparently had the same threat and stayed open. It does seem like an overreaction to me. I would need to know more about the threat, but closing down the second largest school district is a pretty big action. I know it is better safe than sorry, but I also worry that we let terror win when we react this way.
  6. Wow, I grew up in the 80's and I have zero recollection of that movie.
  7. Oh for sure, it is hard to find any news source that isn't pushing one agenda or another.
  8. Hah, I love that they threw Bill Clinton in at the bottom. I'm pretty surprised at how honest Hillary is according to this. Martin O'Malley is clearly the winner here at politicking.
  9. It seems like they added a few good companion NPC's as well.
  10. I keep hovering over the "buy it" button on Best Buy. I'm just not sure if it'll be my kind of game. Sounds like combat isn't very forgiving, and I'm not the sort who enjoys difficult combat; I'm more of a play it for the story with minimal trouble during combat encounters kind of guy. You can drop the difficulty down to adventure level. It still lets you do all the fun puzzle type stuff, but you won't get killed as much. I recommend it, the story is entertaining. Larian has this fairly whimsical take on fantasy that I've always enjoyed.
  11. Getting into the Divinity Directors Cut, and enjoying it tremendously. The voice actors did a good job.
  12. I hope they keep it a bit whimsical.
  13. So you don't believe Breitbart that that's what Haney said to them, or you don't believe Haney because you don't want to believe what he's saying? If the main stream press wasn't ignoring facts to fit their narrative, they'd investigate these very serious allegations and we'd know one way or the other. Oh, I don't even read your sources anymore. I'm pretty sure we covered this years ago. I mean, feel free to keep linking Breitbart and Fox News, but don't be surprised that people aren't reading them.
  14. Says the guy with 16832 posts about Nazis and Neverwinter Nights. Which is actually the title of a game I would totally play.
  15. Well it is pretty clear how Jesus felt about Capitalism in general.
  16. That was crazy. I was at a school event and about 5 of us were just staring at our phones for both OT's. Crazy that they are missing two starters too.
  17. Ok, Wolverine in Japan was good fun, so what-evs. Apocalypse is one of my favorite characters, so I'm hoping this turns out decent.
  18. WoD and Qistana seem to be in a competion of unreliable news sources.
  19. Most people like holidays. I celebrate Eid whenever I get an invite.
  20. This thread is off to a weird start. I'm not really comfortable sharing my family plans in it.
  21. While the uber story is cool, it does make me even more uncomfortable with the idea of using an Uber driver.
  22. You should just bash the locks.
  23. When she slips the word "mandatory" in front of gun buyback, which she did, then it IS the same thing. This the the quote I am seeing: Her spokeswoman also clarified that she was absolutely not talking about mass confiscation. But people are going to hear what they want to hear, really. People still act like Obama is taking away guns, despite 7 years of zero legislation or changes in Federal gun laws. (other than the assault weapons ban actually expiring.) I question why Clinton would bother with the statement, as it just gives the NRA ammunition against her, but this seems more like a red herring than an actual issue. We have plenty of real stuff to criticize her over. edit: tl;dr She isn't coming for your guns. She does want to spy on you and doesn't care about the middle class.
  24. Gun buyback programs aren't quite the same as gun confiscation. Per the usual, NRA freaks out. edit: there are 2 guns for every 3 people in this country. A gun ban isn't just a legislative non-starter, it is completely unfeasible.
