Every Republican today: "YOU STARTED THIS TWO YEARS AGO. This isn't about the constitution! you just hate him!"

Every Republican when Mitch said, on the day Obama was sworn in, that the GOP's main goal was to make him a one term President: *crickets*

One actually did wrong, there is proof he did wrong, there is proof he lied about doing wrong, and that all started in bits during his campaign, like when he looked directly in the camera on Live TV and told Russia to hack the US and "find the missing Emails"....the other did nothing wrong at the time except get elected.....but NOW they want to bitch and moan about partisan politics. Fuck them.
I think it says it all that no one can actually defend Trump's crimes.

They can just yell at Democrats.
Yell at the system.
Insult people.
Go on rants etc.

When people said Bullshit like Obama was born in Africa, he response was "No he wasn't." not "Well George Bush sucks and the investigation into the Birth Cetificate was illegal and it's okay to not .." etc etc

The remake is pretty much the same storyline as the original game, just done worse. Yeah it "Relates to the movie" but mainly just in marketing. All the characters are bland, happy go lucky guys

Remind me, who was the fella who spent a decade lying that Obama was born in Africa and his Birth Certificate was fake so therefore he can't be president?

This projection is insane.

Trump literally commited Treason. Obama did not.

The Conservatives literally spent 8 years lying to try and boot Obama out for shit that had nothing to do with policy.

Trump has been committing crimes left, right and center and conservatives just praise him for it.

This is the problem with "Both Sides" defense, one side is open to hearing the other side and they don't present a point or rebuttal. Just grandstand.

Has anyone actually been deplatformed for being conservative? If so, why haven't all the millions of conservatives and hundreds of hugely popular ones been deplatformed?

In my headcannon Seymour is the one who arranged the whole thing.

He wanted to make it look like he was trying to execute you to trick Mika and Kinoc while really allowing you to escape since his plans hinged on Yuna succeeding.

The game doesn't really back that up since he then tries to kill you all for no reason but it's the only way I can square the circle of bad logic. It also explains why Kinoc distrusts that Seymour will really kill Yuna after they escape.

Capture your entire party, throw you in prison, decide they want to execute you, so then they get the 3 who can swim (including 2 professional Blitzball players) and throw them in a pool of water that leads directly to an exit.

Then take the other 4 who can't swim but are really intelligent and good fighters and put them in a short Maze_ that not only also leads directly to an exit but in fact the same exit as the pool of water?

That was dumb.

I mean in FF7,8 and 9 you get thrown in prison and then walk straight out but in all 3 cases you escape. In 10 you don't break out or anything, they just execute you in the stupidest way possible. Even James Bond villains would be like ".....wat?"

Why not throw Lulu in the water?

Or just shoot everyone in the face? That's what I would have done if I was evil.

The top 11 worst matches topic seemed to be fun so I thought I'd try the same thing with the best, however since Meltzer has given a 5 star rating to like 37 matches, I'm going to limit it to the WWE ones that people may have actually seen just for convenience.

1-6 are 5 Star
7-14 are 4.75 Star

How many of them have you seen and what are your opinions on them? Do you agree with Big Money Meltz?

1. Bret Hart vs Steve Austin - WrestleMania 13
2. Bret Hart vs Owen Hart - SummerSlam '94
3. Andrade "Cien" Almas vs Johnny Gargano - NXT TakeOver: Philadelphia
4. Cm Punk vs John Cena - Money In The Bank 2011
5. HBK vs The Undertaker - WWF In Your House 18: Badd Blood
6. HBK vs Razor Ramoan - WrestleMania X

This is a bad point

"The business has changed" should reflect a reviewers personal opinions

And the same is still true today. He will still bash WWE for arson and does so daily while defending the Indys and Japan for murder.

Meltzer hasn't changed, he's been pretty consistent in his views. The view being tell the people giving me money what they want to hear.

If Kenny Omega and Joey Ryan and the Young Bucks were in the WWE doing the same shit, he would deride it.

Because wrestling was never dumb or silly before that
His point is Meltzer has a history of tearing down WWE/F and WCW for having bad matches, stupid moments, dumb storylines etc. But then doesn't hold Japan or the Indies to the same standard.

Hogan/Andre gets -4 Stars because "Neither can wrestle, the crowd and story doesn't matter"

But then he'll defend Joey Ryan throwing people with his dick, invisable hand grenades and Kenny Omega fighting children as "It's a fake show! Look at the crowd! all 300 of them had smiles on their faces!"

It's not so much a defense of pro-wrestling as it is an attack on Meltzer for being a completely inconsistent hipster who's opinions and thoughts shit to whatever will get him the most subscribers and attention at that very moment.

If you were bored you could edit together a debate of Meltzer arguing with himself by just playing his contradictory thoughts/opinions back to back

These are all the matches that have earned a Minus Five Star Rating (1-5) or a Minus Four Star rating (6-11) from wrestling critic Dave Meltzer.

How many of them have you seen and what are your opinions on them? Do you agree with Big Money Meltz?

1. Hollywood Hogan vs. The Warrior Halloween Havoc 1998
2. Los Villanos vs. Los Psycho Circus Triplemania XXIII
3. Mr. T vs. Roddy Piper Wrestlemania 2
4. The Bushwhackers vs. Nikolai Volkoff and The Iron Sheik Heroes of Wrestling 1999
5. Junkyard Dog vs. Moondog Spot WWF The Wrestling Classic 1985
6. Jenna Morascav.s Sharmell - Victory Road '09
7. The Warrior, Roddy Piper, Diamond Dallas Page vs Lex Luger, Sting, Kevin Nash, Stevie Ray, Bret Hart, Hulk Hogan - Fall Brawl '98
8. Sting vs Tony Palmore - Battle 7 1995
9. Sid Vicious vs The Nightstalker -Clash of the Champions XIII: Thanksgiving Thunder
10. The Bushwackers vs The Rougeaus - WrestleMania V
11. Hulk Hogan vs Andre the Giant - Wrestlemania III

Interesting to note: Hogan is on there 3 times.
Piper, The Ultimate Warrior, Sting and The Bushwackers are on it twice.

Who would have thought Sting and Bret Hart would end up on worst matches of all time lists?

I gotta say WTF at Wrestlemania III? Even if you don't like it because it was spectacle not skill... Minus 4 stars? One of the worst matches of all time? I mean like half the American roster was inspired by that match, the crowd went wild and it did great businsess. Hell Hercules vs Billy Jack was on the same show and he gave it 2.75 Stars, above average.

How you can say Hercules vs Billy Jack was not only better than Hogan/Andre but more than 3 times better is beyond me.

2, a lot of people are just plain sick of faffing around and want Brexit over with. Lib Dems, SNP wanted another referendum and Labour were faffing around.

The UK is pretty divided about everything right now. There isn't anything a "Large Majority" wants.

I feel like people don't really get Brexit or the UK's reaction to it.

Not really. There's a significant difference between "they can veto laws and legislation", and "they can delay, or try to amend laws and legislation".
Not really.

I flat out said I wasn't trying to get into them and the point was to demonstrate that they are not publically elected and can stop Democratically elected Governments from passing laws and legislation.

https://www.ucl.ac.uk/constitution-unit/research/parliament/changing-role-house-lords/government-defeats-house-lords

I mean going "the House of Lords didn't veto a No-Deal Brexit, they just delayed the possibility of a No-Deal Brexit from possibly occuring until after the Brexit deadline while the UK was still trying to negociate." is splitting hairs. That undeniably blocked any chance of a no-deal Brexit from occuring and ensured an extention absolutely occured.

And don't twist my words, I'm massively against a No-Deal Brexit, the extention was a good thing my point is that going "Well it's not technically a veto. It's just effectively one in practical terms" is intentionally missing the point and defeats my whole purpose of trying to explain them quickly off handedly.

It's boarderline trolling.

Its a bad voting system? When people talk about how the U.S. has a bad voting system they usually point to European countries like France & Britain as examples of superior voting systems.

I dunno whats what anymore.
Ita better than the US' system. The electoral college makes no sense

But it's still not great.

In the UK you vote for your local MP to run the area. Each constituency is roughly 70,000 people.

On paper that means local communities the representation they want and the government leader is just the most popular party.

In reality tho this is flawed . As another user said its still first passed the post as a system rather than a fairer representation.

For example UKIP only ever had 1 MP and that was an already popular conservative convert who took his support with him.

At the time over 10% of the population voted UKIP, yet for over a decade they had no representation

Same is true though less extreme for Liberal Democrats or Greens who get some MPs but barely any considering the millions who support them.

You also get safe zones that always vote the same way. Places like Aylesbury which have been conservative for decades, not much is going to change there.

As a result you get HUGE amounts of tactical voting. For example anyone who opposes Conservatives in aylesbury had to vote labour regardless of their beliefs because any other vote is as wasted as voting 3rd party in America.

We saw this in this very election where the Brexit party only ran in contested constituencies and left popular conservative ones alone, they never intended to win a single MP, just wanted to disrupt Labour and Lib Dem votes

On the flipside , in contested areas there can be no true majority. I think an MP in Northern Ireland won with 22% of the vote once.

Not even a quarter of the voting population supported her and shes in charge.

So in short yeah its "better" and "more representative " than the US' system but if the US gets an F then the UK gets a D+

Technically a passing grade but massive room for improvement

And this isn't even mentioning the House of Lords who the public has no control over who are a bunch of old fat men who can veto laws and legislation that the democratically elected government created just because they dont like it, the GOPs dream.

To be fair though, right now the UK is intensely split politically , I think foreigners seeing conservatives dominating the election wont realize just how divided the population is and just how much every party is viewed with disdain and scrutiny

Not violence , dont expect a revolution anytime soon, but about the only thing most of the UK can agree on is that they are all fucking sick of it

In the 70s it was like 0.04%

Sure neither number is definately accurate but in ballpark figures it shows the change and similar things are being reflected in Western Europe, New Zealand etc.

Not defending the bill BTW, it's horrible obviously. Just saying that the transgender stuff is pretty much a 21st century issue It was not accepted or debated in general discourse in the past. There really are more trans people around than there used to be

Siding with the Institute is the only way to killa kid
Not really.

If you blow up the Bos or Institute with no evacuation then you kill kids. I think the railroad is the only place that doesn't have kids

The only way youd get Trump impeached and removed would be via secret anonymous ballot. How U.S. Congressman Justin Amash feels in public is how many of those spineless GOP politicians in Congress feel in private about Donald Trump. This whole thing is a colossal waste of time and money.
that's not a bad idea

Project Valkyrie is the big one that affects that stuff, but I picked up every quest mod linked to it as well, I think those are Depravity, Outcasts and Remnants (which is required for PV), Fusion City Rising, and uh... There was one or two more I think. Supposed to add 60+ hours of content altogether. All fully voiced too.
I need to check this out

I never finished fallout 4 because none of them were good enough to side with but there are mods now that make it more New Vegas-y where you can convince them all to get along or wipe them all out so I'm excited to play that way kinda soon, gotta finish my load order still
Oo

Please let us know what mods they are, they sound fun

those are not the grounds on which people generally object to private charities. read the first post
I did

He asked if Charity is a good thing because there are lots of worthwhile charities and who gets help can be argued to be decided on a whim.

"People may need charity and not get it!" to me is an argument for more charity, not an argument opposing it.

i went with the minutemen in my playthrough and really regretted that choice, they feel like a cop-out.
Well they kind of are a cop out

They exist as a back up in case you wiped out all the other 3 to make the game still able to beat

ideologically the brotherhood is the right faction imo but they're all assholes
See it's interesting that you say that because I think ideologically the Railroad are right.

But they have no plan and aren't based in reality so it's hard to support them.

The BoS' logic of "Let's kill all ghouls, synths and Supermutants, even intelligent friendly ones, then hoard all technology in a big hole" seems pretty idealogically harmful and pointless.

The way people bend over backwards to justify why they don't give to charities and why charity is evil in insane ways just so they don't feel like jerks has always been puzzling to me.

It's charity, you don't have to do it, that's the entire point.

But pretending Charity is anything other than amazing just because you're too lazy to help others is madness.

There was just a huge Earthquake in Albania, many have died, thousands have lost their homes and all their poesssions.

I'm not a rich man but I helped pay for dozens of homeless people there to live in a hotel (that is overpacked for the record) until the crisis is over.

Israel is sending aid, the US is sending help, UAE is airlifting supplies, the EU is sending support and doctors.

you look at that and go "Oh this is evil, we should all just leave them to die and suffer because other causes exist too and it's a whim" WTF?

What ass backwards logic is that.

In your opinion?






In terms of my favorite I'd probably go

Railroad > BoS > Institute > Minutemen.

In terms of good for the Wasteland within the plot I'd go

Minutemen > BoS > Institute > Railroad

In terms of writing quality I'd go

BoS > Railroad > Minutemen > Institute.
