  1. Yeah, I was pretty excited about Battlefront, but at the last moment backed off and decided to wait. Mostly because I'm too busy with Fallout 4.
  2. Qistina, you have taken it upon yourself to educate us about Malaysian culture, and I appreciate it. As someone who has never been there and knows very few people from your country, that is invaluable. But much like you are telling us to not buy into the media portrayal of the US, I'd caution you to not buy into the portrayal of the US as Qu'ran burning zealots. I spent the day in my US classroom talking about Islam, the refugee crisis, and the conflict with ISIS. My students come from a variety of faiths, Christians, Muslims, Jews, Hindu, Sikhs, and Atheists. As a Social Studies teacher, we have already spent the last unit learning about the life of Mohammad and the rise of Islam, and right now we are talking about West Africa. There was no persecuting or book burning, just an open discussion on the problems and a chance for the students to reflect on where this is all going. The Islam unit is also a part of our federal education standards. 47 out of 50 states cover the curriculum much like I do. It's pretty tame stuff, we cover the 5 pillars, the importance of Mecca, the Qu'ran, and the Sunnah.
  3. Yeah, we all know that Italy is the Adultery country.
  4. I don't know, welfare is a tricky issue. My wife has a ton of students coming from welfare households. They tend to have a lot of other issues, for sure, but I'm not sure if taking away the measly amount of money they get will do anything but make matters worse. These are the same kids who hate winter and summer breaks because they know they will not get a decent meal most of the time. How do you change the entire culture around welfare? I'm all for alternative programs, but realistically those will probably cost even more to implement.
  5. Not quite sure how Trump, who says he identifies more as a democrat, isn't getting that label.
  6. You have to add a special mod to the power armor suit to seal the deal.
  7. I think hockey should be played 4-4 during regular time. Opens up the ice and allows skill players room to actually you know, stickhandle and pass. I'd probably prefer an international ice surface myself.
  8. Dude, it is solid rock. What purpose do you think it has? It is ok to not know things. We can't be experts on everything. A good leader needs to be able to defer to the experts on a wide range of issues, and Carson has shown zero ability to do that.
  9. I love the 3-3 format.
  10. Hey, he'll be my first vote if I ever need brain surgery. Actually I'd assume that is a younger man's game, so he would have been back in the day.
  11. Is crafting and building necessary? I like some of the ideas, but I'm started to get exhausted looking for fans and other junk in every nook and cranny.
  12. I'll be the first to push for reform within Islam. It's a leadership mess right now. The face of Islam should be Malala, not Jihadi John. Say what you will about Christianity, but they have benefited from a strong central leadership figure in the Pope, and it's been hundreds of years since there was a terrible one. I just don't see how an 'us versus them' mentality will help anything though. That would seem to only fan the flames.
  13. Well now they are all coming out of the woodwork.
  14. It's really weird how many hardcore Republicans we have here. Do we even have anyone that is registered as a Democrat? I would guess maybe Calax, but he's not that active. Putting aside the ridiculous comparison, saying stuff like this lessens you in every way. Be a better person.
  15. Really? I thought the 6000 year old earthers were just a bedtime story Atheists tell their children at night.
  16. I would be surprised. These were guys with guns and bombs, they had resources and support. ISIS doesn't need to send fighters through the refugee lines, they have better ways to get their crazy radicals on foreign soil. The Charlie Hebdo attackers were born and raised in France. I am sure we will find out soon enough.
  17. This is a terrible tragedy, and I hope they take down ISIS hard after this. But I'm also pretty amazed how quickly you folks turn this into a crusade against Islam. This had everything to do with a terrorist organization targeting France. The refugees are trying to get AWAY from these cretins.
  18. Are you sure that was here? I know you are a man of the internets, and it can be tough to keep track of all your beefs.
  19. Shadysand all your game are belong to us.
  20. i dont even know who you're referencing? can't be hossa I didn't recognize it either. I'm not really a believer in the playoff choker theory, although that's probably because I'm a Sharks fan and tired of that label.
  21. Yes, I also care about the political views of a 20-something actress.
  22. I'm assuming that is part of the mystery. I fully expect that my kid may be an adult when I find him. Just hope it doesn't turn into an Oedipus scenario.
  23. I wish all the scrap crap would just go straight to my settlement storage. Inventory management isn't all that fun in games with a decent UI, let alone one that has a weird relationship with my keyboard and mouse. I'm pretty sure I'll give up grabbing every fan and spark plug fairly quickly.
  24. I've always thought it was odd when people do the baby talk thing. I've never done that with my kids.
  25. wat I'm assuming he means the the laser musket, which you need to crank as you shoot. It's fun, but hardly overpowered. Pretty creative actually.
