  1. Oh please, stop exaggerating, criticizing Islam is not the same as being an enemy of it. That's like saying I'm a Nazi for criticizing Israel. Which I do. I am talking more about a matter of perspective. From the perspective of a person living in a country where there is no freedom of the press, opening up a western newspaper and reading criticisms of Islam comes across as much more threatening towards their way of life. Couple that with the outright lies that many extremists groups propagate, it is very easy to understand why Muslims throughout the Islamic world believe the biggest threat to them is the West. The path to peace requires peace, understanding, and acceptance on all sides. Criticism has its time and place, and it isn't at the start of the discussion.
  2. Very cool to hear about the MMX patch. I've only dabbled in it, so I'll be happy to start a new game with the new classes.
  3. I'm very curious to see if Thomas Hertl can maintain the play he has had in the first few games of the season. If he does, he's got a good chance at rookie of the year honors. The kid can play, and he's getting a spot on the top line in San Jose.
  4. That image does bring back some fond memories.
  5. That is also why it is important for the Western media to make it very clear that there is no master plan to wipe out Islam. There is tremendous ignorance on both sides here.
  6. Playing the BF4 beta made me decide to install BF3 and see if it runs better than it did when I played it at release.
  7. I prefer to have two snipers, one that can shoot anywhere on the map, and one that can move and shoot.
  8. Princess Diana?
  9. The A's have hit 3 home runs by 3 different guys. They are in the bottom of the 9th, hope they get it done.
  10. I'm pretty shocked that no one wants to start Tebow, since there are some terrible teams with bad QB's out there. But I also understand that coaches have certain systems that they are comfortable running and Tebow is not suited for most of those.
  11. I would love to see another BF2142, that game was cool. I think they also need to do a real BF1942 follow up, not just a map or two tribute.
  12. I'm still grumbling about the browser launching stuff in BF3. I played the beta for BF4 and it seems more stable, but I'm not sure if I will get it. The magic that was BF2 is gone.
  13. While we are on the topic of education: http://edition.cnn.com/2013/10/07/world/asia/taliban-malala/ The Taliban suck.
  14. Religion is also an efficient way to build communities and encourage charitable acts, so lets not get carried away with the "religion is teh bad!" nonsense.
  15. Wrong. All it proves is that a significant number of people didn't care for Mitt Romney as a presidential candidate. Obama is tied heavily to this health care plan. Whether it was indifference or support that allowed him to win the election over Romney, it shows that the general public is not nearly as up in arms about it as many politicians are grandstanding about.
  16. What? There are third parties? *gasp* What the heck is an evangelical libertarian?
  17. Further evidence that Walsingham is an immortal.
  18. Extremism has nothing to do with religion. It is simply the tool extremists use to unlock the darkest aspects of our human nature. In a world without religion, people would simply find another outlet for their zeal.
  19. Saying islam fosters extremism is like saying eating fosters poop. It may be true, but it ignores a lot of the imprtant aspects.
  20. He actually mentions quite a few times that he was creating a list of games that have held up well on modern computers, and not one of those looks all that good today.
  21. I agree with Lexx. Her hands are a bit mannish too. I'd assume some photoshopping could be involved as well.
  22. Wow. That's pretty close to what my list would be. They guy really likes Obsidian
  23. What the heck is CAD? Use a real currency
  24. The guy was an idiot and decided to hit me on 2 major muscle groups (the chest and the abdomen), so it's only mildly bruised. My foot is kinda sore though.. So no lumps unfortunately. All those in favor of changing Rosbjerg's name to Goonbjerg say aye.
  25. When doing terror missions, have an operative go touch the civilians. They will leave the battlefield when you do it.
