Do you think the us was a theocracy for our first 200 years or so?

Cept your semi-auto rifles.
And magazine outside the grip pistols.
And guns without micro-printing firing pins.
And guns etc etc etc

ie shut the fuck up if you can't come with honesty and integrity.

Can you give specific cases showing those examples? If not one can only assume this is more along the lines of "OMG scary brown person caravan coming with criminals, think of the women who want security!" That last bit was Trump's rhetoric, suggesting indirectly that the caravan is coming to rape white women.

All I've ever wanted is scientific research into gun deaths as a public health concern. Backed by the NIH. Repeal the Dickey Amendment.

The dickey amendment doesnt block research into gun deaths it just blocks using CDC funds to promote gun control.

This is basically just a field training exercise.

In a weird coincidence of lettering the kkk in the Phillipines actually is something completely different.

The Kataas-taasan, Kagalang-galangan, Katipunan ng mga Anak ng Bayan[1] ("Supreme and Venerable Society of the Children of the Nation", Spanish: Suprema y Venerable Asociacin de los Hijos del Pueblo) also known as Katipunan, or KKK[4] was a Philippine revolutionary society founded by anti-Spanish colonialism Filipinos in Manila in 1892; its primary goal was to gain independence from Spain through a revolution.

In 2017, India was reported to be the country with the highest number of people practicing open defecation: 524 million people or 40% of the total population.

... would you like to know more

There is literally only one other country in the world that has more than 400 million people so all that is really saying is that people are more likely to poop outdoors in India than china.

I challenge anyone that claims Starcraft 2 has a bad campaign to make their battlenet profile public so I can actually see that they have actually completed / started it. I strongly suspect that the people whining about the campaign are trolls that never even played it.

It's bad. My profile is probably public already unless it's hidden by default.

Did you really not play a single ranked match the whole time you spent with the game? I can't find you.

This is me. I didn't do much in the game but I did beat the campaign. Just link your equivalent.

I bought it at launch and I liked it a lot.

The past 8 years.

Starcraft 2 + expansions.
Heroes of the Storm.
Hearthstone.
Diablo 3 + expansions.
More WoW expansions.

I might be missing something but, where is the problem so far?

I have enjoyed all of the above to some extent for the most part, btw.

I agree with you. I feel like the hate Blizz gets is a combination of the hate for anything popular + the play it till you hate it types (Yeah Overwatch was good back when it came out but after a couple thousand hours it starts to feel TERRIBLE!)

Starcraft 2, can't comment

It's criticized as having destroyed any compelling story Starcraft had. Also apparently the P2P is unbalanced and favors Terran too much, though they do balance updates. They have Coop for what that's worth though, it's decent enough that I play it more often than most games with friends. It's just fairly samey.

I think SC2 being less popular online has more to do with changing tastes than anything. Mobas stole it's thunder and if Blizzard moved towards putting heroes into the multiplayer game they would get a severe backlash from the Starcraft fanbase (hell they got exactly that kind of reaction way back when Warcraft 3 had heroes).

Jealous of a 750? Like being jealous of a 1998 base model Toyota Camry. It went get you from a to be.... maybe.

Its now or never guys. We have to a finite amount of time to whip the public into a frenzy or else when they are less passionate they won't be willing to swallow this pill. We need to use the irrational fears of people to get them agree to having their rights taken away their rights guys. Its the progressive thing to do.

I can't tell if this is clever sarcasm or not, you might have to help me.

Yes, and it's rather hilarious how many of us despise the label.

Though there IS a big divide between people who grew up without internet vs people who never knew life without it even if both are technically millennials imo.

As someone that was born in 1986...... I didn't grow up without the internet I just remember the progression from not having it to having dial up to having cable internet between the time I was about 10 and 18.

The bugs are all dead after it freezes in Colorado. It froze about a week ago.

Why the fuck do we have these race based preferences in the first place?

I don't think transgender athletes should be allowed to compete.
Lets review a few facts.

1. Men and women don't overlap at the higher levels in basically any physically taxing sport. Speed, endurance, strength. It isn't one thing it is the overall combination of factors.

2. The whole objective of the hormone therapies that trans athletes get is meant to lower them down to the level of women in terms of performance.

3. By winning first place you in a world championship you have by definition failed to lower them down to the level of people born as women. -

What is the counter argument here? If a trans athlete out performs every single biological women on the planet earth then something went wrong in terms of this intricate process of lowering them down to a level where women can compete.

What is the point in being mean in a case like this? Just say nothing. You don't need to actively put a person down. Half of you are probably fat men in no place to judge.

I feel like its some kind of defense mechanism but I only really feel anxiety when I'm by myself or around people I know very well. When I'm around strangers or coworkers that are not my bros I basically become stoic and feel nothing in regards to fear or doubt.

Why would you want this? I played vanilla WoW a lot and I can't wrap my head around why people want to go back in time.

You don't need to lie to me George. I've reached the acceptance phase.

If they are working at chic fila they are probably evangelicals that want give you the time of day unless they meet you at church.

While the owners are evangelicals I'm pretty sure they can't only hire people of that faith. Given they are not a church that's illegal.

I said probably. Church going Protestant girls and guys are drawn to chic fil a and chic fil a is drawn to them. You would not be able to prove discrimination because all a "store owner" has to say is "I had good feeling about...
"

You wouldnt be able to prove racism because it isn't there. The CEOs would obviously hire a black christian over a white atheist with equal qualification. To this type race is nothing compared to faith.

No and this topic is racist as fuck. Trash of all races enjoy professional wrestling!

I think its fine but I am coming back after being out since Wrath of the Lich King so I may not be as burnt out.

I am playing it fairly casual. I leveled a demon hunter through the early legion stuff but mid Suramar I hit 111 and couldn't queue up for legion dungeons or raids (I just wanted to do them for the story and to do them so this was sad. Wish I had frozen my level). Anyways I moved on past that and did the Alliance stuff in Kul Tiras and I enjoyed that a lot too. I partied up with people as I met them. I quested through all the zones. Since I hit 120 I've pvped a bit (well a lot by my standards), did all the dungeons, and I basically just enjoyed the experience overall. I started into mythics and thats fine but I think this is the point where I step away because the endless MMO treadmill just isn't for me.

Along the way I had also been going back to hit exalted in Suramar and finish the storyline. Which I did. Which was fun if a bit of a mindless rep grind at the end.

I loved the warfront they released so far (welfare epic gear + an epic tip of the hat to Warcraft 3? I'm so in).

The key to enjoying Blizzard games is to step away when you hit the point where you aren't having fun anymore. I have already dumped more hours into BFA than I do into most games that get released but I know myself well enough not to get in a rage enducing treadmill of working my ass off to go from 350 item level average to 355.

That ain't me. I do the things in the game that I find fun and at the point where it bores me I'll walk away. There is no point is stressing out and ramming your head against a wall in the parts you hate the most about a game when all that shit is optional.

Twenty people have been killed in a car crash involving a limousine in the US state of New York, police say.

State police said that two vehicles were involved in the crash on Saturday afternoon in the town of Schoharie.

Eyewitnesses described seeing an SUV-style stretch limousine leave the road and plough into a crowd of pedestrians at a store near a busy intersection.

Holy shit.

It's a hat made for tropical climates. It looks like the same hat you see postal workers in sometimes in the us.

I'm going to go on cruise to the Dominican republic and probably do some shopping and get a few things and people and maybe sneak in a bit of genocide if I have time.

Is there a quarry near by?

The man had sex with a prostitute. Is that reason to end his career?

They own everything from the borders of Europe to the pacific ocean. That didn't happen by magic. They conquered it.

Jimmy Carter ..... more like JIMMY FARTER!

Yes.

If I was in his position after learning that Osama Bin Laden was responsible for that terrible act I would have ordered the launch of around a thousand hydrogen bombs to hit various countries in the region killing a few hundred million people and nuking more than a few holy sites. I mean Mecca, Medina, Riyadh, Jeddah, Al-Ahsa, I mean by the time I hit city 10 out of 100 I would be hitting cities you had never even heard of before but I would just keep nuking till I hit 100 cities that I held most responsible and then I would have sent in an Army to comb through the wasteland that used to be that part of the planet and call it New New Mexico and call it a day. That is what I would have done and we would of collectively felt real bad about it.

It wouldn't be bad in a sense of a terrorist threat because everyone would be fucking dead but it would be bad morally. Like "what did we do?" You know? Like we wouldn't have boots on the ground dealing with IEDs and all that stuff it would be more boots on the ground stomping through the ashes of damn near a billion human beings that used to be alive and now aren't. That would be a harsh reality. I mean can you even imagine what that would be like. Just a clean sweep from coast to coast from Morroco to Pakistan with every single city over 200,000 people hit with a megaton yield hydrogen bomb such that the entire metro area was blasted to basically nothing.

That would have been the wrong choice. He made the right one.

It was actually fairly common in older games to just be stuck and have no fucking clue where to go next.

You would just kind of wander all over the place trying to find where you were supposed to go.

Also How is it a myth all groups commit crime at the same rate when fbi stats back it ?

The stats don't back it. There are rather extreme disparities among groups if you look at the FBI crime statistics. And these persist for crimes like homicide that don't suffer from any arrest bias.

Do you run it by wealth and race or just race, cause everytime Ive looked at the numbers they balance out when you do both.

African americans commit half of homicides and make up about 14% of the population. You cant "balance out" that level of disparity.

The Expanse

A big issue I have with the protest is that it is for an issue that will be realistically around for at least the next 100 years and he started it up in a time when we had a black president, relatively low unemployment and no major wars.

It was basically a statement that he would never show patriotism again in his life because there is racial inequality in america and the world.

That picture is from 1990.

You arent defending the beatings of women that dared to shake a mans hand you are defending the result. She may even still have bruises on her body from the beatings but its great because diversity. Wouldnt it be boring if she just shook hands like a regular person? Timidly refusing while looking over her shoulder is way more diverse.

How fucking bigoted of you to assume that of her.

How fucking naive are you?
