Azdeus Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 This amused me greatly XD 1 Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.

Amentep Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Apologies if this has been posted before, but I thought these were some pretty fun "Bizarre Magic" performances. I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redneckdevil Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Trump to meet with game industry Thursday over gun violence This is what I like to term a "Circus Level Event", or CLE (pronounced "silly"). Trump will find out that trying to take away guns outta video games is gonna be as bad if not worse than trying to take away guns from Americans. Actually that would help explain the mindset to non-Americans and Americans our pro-gun culture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smjjames Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 You know, has it even been found out that the Florida shooter played those kinds of games? I don't recall seeing any mention of it. I get what's meant by changing the culture, but those kinds of games are played worldwide, so, if there really was a corresponding spike in violence due to video game use, then we should be seeing that everywhere, but that isn't happening.

injurai Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 (edited) I'm for existential private health care, I also think it's important to have state coverage. The state should be able to participate in the market economy as well, the idea that it shouldn't is absurd and anti-capitalist. Ironic how many pro-market people are actually just pro-protectionism.
