So violence should not be responded to strongly? If this thread was about how we felt about violent protests, this would already be a different conversation... but the topic of this is about "inconvenient" protests. Those which are almost by definition nonviolent. Even these draw such disdain...

...because they believe that people are fundamentally good enough to not need to be persuaded of the validity of peoples' rights to life. Seriously, most protests aren't about persuading people who don't already agree with them, but in demonstrating (hence the term) that they represent a body...

And lots of the replies in this thread also think that hypothetical harm trumps actual murder. Until you have evidence of deaths resulting from this as a result of delayed EMTs, you are only using possibilities as an excuse to dismiss real issues.

Yeah... I don't post often, but I feel compelled to lend whatever small voice I have to counter the tide of hateful self-centered entitlement that many posters in this thread seem to have. If you truly believe that you have some right to convenience which trumps the rights of others to not be...

They've already put out several gameplay videos. Including the second trailer they released regarding the siege of Carthage. Further, this trailer did include gameplay, though none of the strategic map.

Some of the combat animations looked like the standard "female characters are all acrobats", which does serve to show off their body in skin-tight suits. That's about the only thing I noticed in the trailer at least though... and I was looking; I had a similar reaction of surprise at the extent...

...or infinite if your faith causes you to divide by zero... or any number from 1 to infinity, depending on whether your see the entire project as contradictory. I suspect the comment was meant to confuse and troll for angry religious responses. The alternative is a terrible use of sarcasm.

That would be a totally fair comment if we weren't referring to an actress who seems cast entirely upon her ability to give guys boners. In which case, that *is* her acting talent, or at least the talent being capitalized on by the film producers... making "yeah, that really doesn't give me a...

Yes, the man who sexually assaulted my ex-girlfriend. I'd kill him in a heartbeat if I didn't respect the ordered society that results from laws which prevent such actions... and nobody who knows him would fault me for it.

Oh, come on. Is this clearly cartoonish and watered-down for mass consumption by the mmorpg crowd? Yes, clearly, and distastefully. However, attacking it for its choice of enemies in fire giants is kind of silly. I can't speak to 2nd edition, but Fire Giants are CR 10 in 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, and...

As a guy that spends longer than 90% of my female friends getting dressed in the morning, I assure you that isn't true. It's just not expected for men to be fashion-conscious, which means that most guys don't dedicate any effort to their personal appearance. This gets pretty meta, in that...

I'm not sure that a trained and combat-experienced marine can be called a "kid"... The final cutscene of 2 also had their personalities overlapping, with him taking on the name Prophet, instead of Alcatraz. Finally, the ruined head of Lady Liberty in the trailer points to at least some part of...

I'm 6 feet tall and weigh around 135 pounds. Like I indicated, I'm borderline Anorexic. The only way I keep myself from starving is by forcing myself to stay within a very narrow range of numbers on the scale, even though I look in the mirror and still feel like a fat and pathetic loser.

Note that the payout is 20% of the value of each killmail earned on him. I'm going to try hard to not be insulting, but it's incredibly aggravating how simple math seems to be too much work for most people. Even if he does that and gets a payout, he/his friends are only getting back 20% of what...

While I doubt it will work, I'm going to try to cut this off at the start: THEY CHANGED THE BOUNTY SYSTEM. Eve has a great number of things it might be criticized for, but at least they are working on fixing the bounty system. How it has been implemented as of this expansion means that...
