    Gun control

    I'm glad that the laws have the will of the people behind them. Hopefully those bans save lives, but if tragedy occurs I wonder what will happen to popular opinion if a mass shooting occurs with a banned weapon.

    Gun control

    I think what we'll see is that good Americans will exude such anger about these shit laws that other states will become less likely to pass similar ones.

    Gun control

    1. A state is not a house. 2. Telling someone their rules in their state or house are dumb is not equivalent to saying 'you can't do this'. It's like the forum is playing whack-a-mole with your retarded arguments and they just keep popping up again.

    Gun control

    The biggest reason I disagree is because I think it's good to complain about everything. The second biggest reason is because state laws can be used as political precedent for other states and the federal government.

    Gun control

    Any source for this? "A BAD/STUPID/INEFFECTIVE law that does not affect you really gives you no right to complain." -Soy I disagree completely and think you and I can't come to terms on this. Constitutionality does not define whether a state law could affect me.

    SimCity

    So does it make sense to have an FoH community region or are the region/cities so small that people would prefer having control of the entire region / sharing it with only a few people?

    Gun control

    I'll accept that you're admitting being wrong here, Soy, but whether you acknowledge it is irrelevant at this point because you bring up a more important and debatable argument: Whether a state implementing an AWB is an indication that a federal level AWB is more likely than people thought a few...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Personally I wish games would start copying Bastion and use more narration. I'd love to have Morgan Freeman come in and narrate me navigating the nth dungeon in Skyrim. Feel free to reduce an opinion to a limitation of the author but it's not a very useful practice.

    Gun control

    Please do, but I can guarantee you that nobody outside of a state is afraid of that state taking away their guns. You might be able to find more complex fears, but that's not the fear you've stated Aychamo has continued insistence of.

    Gun control

    Show me where someone on this forum who lives out side of NY/CO etc is saying "CO passed this law and now CO is coming from my guns", otherwise I think you're ignoring a man's argument and are replacing it with your own hyperbole so it's easier for you to argue it. More simply: You're building...

    Gun control

    Okay I understand. And I completely disagree. It's perfectly legitimate for someone to talk shit about a neighboring state or event another country when they pass dumb laws. That you need to come up with a bad metaphor that somehow pretends another state is equivalent to another house further...

    Gun control

    I really don't know what point you're making. You seem to be stating that there's a democratic process for rebuking a state for passing bad laws but are admonishing Aychamo for rebuking a state for passing bad laws.

    You had me until you said that a state coming to take your guns is not the government coming to take your guns.

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Maybe it's just being a min/maxing power gamer but I find it very difficult to attach myself to the imagined emotions of my character in an RPG. Even if I start out with a coherent sense of my character, or even if I'm doing a replay focusing on a non-ideal set of characteristics I find that all...

    Gun control

    I see you haven't defined a cosmetic gun control law. I didn't think you would as you hide your poorly thought ideas in ambiguity. And no, feel good laws that limit freedom but do nothing to prevent the next shooting are not to be valued and are worse than doing nothing. You have to be a...

    I think vapid is a good descriptor of your thought process and people like you give gun control proponents a bad reputation.

    Gun control

    Don't discount employment by companies that export products, because they are the breadwinners for an area. And if those hundreds of people are centralized in a medium/small town their loss can cause an entire city to fall over a couple generations which creates a huge black mark on an entire...

    Skyrim

    Skyre nerfed the stagger effect anyway. On my current playthrough I'm doing the all-purpose character (Only sklls I'm not leveling are heavy armor, two handed and illusion). And yeah, destruction is still underpowered, though if I really focused on it I think I could make it work. My...

    I'll take a look at it. I opted out of it the first time because it seemed to do stuff SkyRe and a few other mods already did.

    We use stuff like this for some of the robotics we do. Bottom line: It's never worked better than a bunch of monitors. Hopefully this new version deserves the press it's getting.

    You can't just say "The same officials also linked Lanza's actions to violent video games. The officials, who have been briefed on the Newtown, Connecticut, investigation, told CBS that evidence shows Lanza was likely acting out the fantasies of a video game in killing 20 children and six...

    Political Affiliation

    You can't mistake recent political party leanings for overall political persuasion. Someone could be relatively conservative but really hate the current GOP for a variety of reasons.

    The Walking Dead

    everything stated about the last episode encapsulates it perfectly. At this point I'm rooting for the zombies to take out everyone but Daryl and Merle and the black chick. I've never seen such bad character assassination in a show.

    No idea what's going on but I don't see any white-washing of this thread besides the ban of a_skeleton_03's puppet account. If anyone has their shit deleted in any thread where they're not posting porn/personal info let me know. Also I took away moderator access from ravvenn because she's not...

    Like Sterling says Selmy is old as fuck. I don't know if they say how old he is (Or if ASOIAF years translates directly) but the actor playing him is 65.

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Another big thing that ME did that other games should implement is the paragon/renegade interrupts. They really broke the dialog mould and they're the only time I liked QTE though I wish the delay was longer so I didn't have to drop my sandwich all over my desk just because Shep dropped a QTE on...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    I don't really think that awkward DLC is a necessary flaw. I just think that it can be with bad developers. I do agree that it's been a problem for a lot of DLC. But really, I ignore most DLC and pirate the rest because it's rare that I think it's worth it.

    Boy... that escalated quickly

    After thinking about it some more my recommendation in that circumstance is to ask to be re-seated. Sure things would be nice if everyone parented like lurkingdirk, but if a group of parents are idly sitting by watching their little monsters throw ice at Haast it's not like you're going to get a...

    The current rate is around 1.33, so 300Euro would be close to 400USD. http://www.xe.com/ucc/convert/?Amoun...rom=EUR&To=USD In other words it's going to be close.

    If you're interested in not getting spoiled I'd recommend not asking open ended questions like that. However I'd say the best answer is Barristan and the two Cleganes. The problem is that there's so many characters in the books that are highly respected but not really focused on that you can't...
