| Topic | Father accused by Hotel that he is a sex offender. |
| eston 02/21/18 4:31:25 PM #46 | KingCrabCake posted... Man what the fuck was so suspicious about a father and daughter together. I'd wager there was more to it than that, as this is a hotel and they see fathers and daughters, fathers and sons, mothers and sons, etc. All day every day. Something about these people stood out. wackyteen posted... As would I but I wouldn't want every passing father with a son to be questioned about being a pedophile or sex trafficker for it to happen Nowhere have I said that should be the case KingCrabCake posted... Im sure you would be okay if a person called the cops saying hey this man his a pedo hes with a 5 yr old.... Of course I wouldn't be okay with it, but to take it as a personal sleight is silly. The people who reported it don't know the man. Your example of the black guy in a white neighborhood is so contextually different I won't even address it. --- |

| eston 02/21/18 3:56:20 PM #32 | Duncanwii posted... Eaton you clearly have no kids so you really need to be quiet. I don't have kids either bit I have enough empathy for others to look at this from a parents perspective which clearly you do not. I actually have a 5-year-old son, and if he became a victim of human trafficking I would certainly hope that some vigilant person would help get him home --- |

| eston 02/21/18 3:43:06 PM #23 | Chicken posted... This is one of my greatest fears when Im out with my daughter. Even going out to lunch this fear is in the back of my mind. Just takes one asshole to say something. If anyone ever tried to seperate me and my daughter, there would be blood. Alternatively, you could handle the situation like a calm and rational adult and clear up whatever confusion may have occurred. Because assaulting people over this most certainly will not work out in your favor. --- |

I live in Florida and there's a huge rally at the Capitol today. All students were preemptively excused to attend I agree completely. As the superintendent he should standing behind these students. It's crazy that he's choosing to antagonize them when the issue they are protesting should be important to him too. --- |

| eston 02/21/18 3:35:17 PM #16 | wackyteen posted... No, fuck that. It could have been handled with more tact, but given what a widespread problem human trafficking is I'd rather they report it and hurt someone's feelings than ignore it and let someone continue to be victimized --- |

| eston 02/21/18 12:46:43 PM #48 | YourDrunkFather posted... Ya...I don't know how people missed all that but I remember it being pretty bad. As someone else said they literally had mods to make CJ white. Someone should mod it so you play as Riff Raff and change literally none of the dialog --- |
| Topic | Why do streets name after Martin Luther King Jr tend to be more violent? |
| eston 02/21/18 12:45:21 PM #11 | DifferentialEquation posted... It's basically a dishonest liberal tactic. They find areas where there was already a problem with violent crime, rename a street after MLK Jr and then claim that the violence is because of people rebelling against his message so they can exaggerate the problem of racism. I don't think this is a thing that happens --- |
| Topic | Was there really controversy over GTA: San Andreas having a black lead? |
| eston 02/21/18 12:43:59 PM #45 | Howl posted... None of the supposed racism surrounding that game ever happened at all. People here just like to make that shit up now. Setting aside that I personally witnessed it at the time the game was released, what do you find more likely: that some racists had publicly negative reactions to a popular game having its first black protagonist, or that literally no one anywhere had a problem with it whatsoever? --- |

| eston 02/21/18 12:38:51 PM #42 | Lost_All_Senses posted... eston posted...I remember at the time there were people who were mad about having to play as a black guy. It probably didn't help that SA broke down a lot of language barriers for gaming, most notably its repeated and unapologetic use of the n-word I agree. Just like Vice City, SA drew a lot of inspiration from specific movies, and the characters' dialog reflects that --- |

| eston 02/21/18 10:12:20 AM #11 | Honestly video games have probably done more for the gun industry than those companies' own PR departments have. Games make sure that guns stay cool. Republicans should love them --- |
| Topic | Father accused by Hotel that he is a sex offender. |
| eston 02/21/18 10:08:15 AM #3 | It sucks but he shouldn't take it so personally. This was not a sleight against him. They got it wrong this time, but I appreciate that hotel workers are taking a proactive approach to combatting human trafficking. It's a big problem. The real downside to this is that those employees will hesitate next time they see something suspicious --- |

| eston 02/21/18 9:46:37 AM #18 | The quests usually aren't generic like that. In fact even most of the optional side quests seem to have a bit more meat to them. Still, as a huge open world game you are going to find some repetitiveness. --- |

| Topic | So what happens when someone who believes in all shooting victims being actors.. |
| eston 02/21/18 9:22:19 AM #3 | Laserion posted... Some people think that the dead people are actors? They think the govt maintains a stable of adult and child actors who are sent out semi-regularly to trick the media and public into thinking a tragedy has occurred --- |

| eston 02/21/18 9:19:31 AM #12 | BMXJouster posted... If you loved the characters in the base game just wait until you play Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine. This And also, if you really liked the character writing in 3 then you should definitely play Witcher 2. IMO the characters were much better written in that game --- |

| eston 02/21/18 8:54:44 AM #7 | I fucking hate when I tell a hot girl I have a snowcone machine and she wants to come over for snowcones but then it turns out I don't really have a snowcone machine and I have to come up with an elaborate plan to steal one from the local carnival while also reconnecting with my estranged dad who I thought had abandoned me when I was two but actually was lost in the jungle for 13 years and had to survive by eating palmetto bugs. --- |
