I still have two cubic fuck tons of JRPGs on my backlog, so it's probably a good thing I shouldn't add even more to it.

It's alright. Not the best Fire Emblem.
If you were to start a Fire Emblem, I'd highly recommend Path of Radiance anyway, and it's sequel Radiant Dawn after. Characters and a story that isn't actually a yawn fest.

Or if you want a more simple one, Sacred Stones.

Restarting science wouldn't do any good because facts will always come back as facts, regardless of how long it's been lost. It's already happened before in Europe and it was called the Dark Ages to the Renaissance. 2+2 will always = 4., regardless of the spin you want to put on who found it out.

Someone who plays these kids of games: when and how should I go about summoning stuff?
What do you mean? I'd save up orbs before you summon, as the first summon is 5, and if you summon in the same go, it's only 4. Try to find some good 4 starts on each color for some good balance.

All speech is free speech. It is isn't physical then we need not ban it.
I suppose we should be able to yell "bomb" in an airport then or "fire" in public places? What logic is this? Free speech isn't 100% free. It just means the government can't prosecute you because you have different beliefs. That doesn't mean society has to tolerate it all when it dives into simple name calling and racism.
Please, don't conflate controversial ideas and beliefs with something like yelling, "bomb!" in an airport. You have the capacity to understand what I'm referring to as speech in this topic. As long as it isn't physical or an incitement of actual physical violence or panic then it shouldn't be banned.

You, personally, don't have to tolerate racist or insulting rhetoric, but no person or organization should tell other people that they aren't allowed to tolerate it. You need to let people make up their own minds.
I know what you meant, I was just going by the logic you were throwing at me.

Yeah but when people do decide and protest about it, people go on about how they're retarded.

A lot to take away from this, but a few things.

Hate speech to me, is when you promote a race over another and try to oppress another

And I'm not on about what's "truth" or not. I know and accept the left isn't right with everything, I don't accept a lot of beliefs the far left pushes. On the other hand, the far right isn't exactly amazing either. Yes yes I know, playing the "moderate" card, which would normally be the case. But now a days we're seeing both sides, especially the alt-right, buy into blatant lies as if they're facts. Hard based truth doesn't exist anymore it seems. It seems whatever "truth" there is, only counts when it fits into your own confirmation bias, and that's dangerous as hell to see. We already see it here with Psu who's clearly admitted it. And no it's not just the alt right. I just think it's more cancerous on that side. I've seen plenty of stuff from the far left that annoys the hell out of me too.

Either way, I do think free speech is a sacred thing. I just don't think people should be so accepting and open armed about hearing clearly toxic rhetoric that is in NO means "productive" when it comes to casting an entire race or people as "a bad guy" or something along those lines. If you wanna go on loudly about how abortion is shit, or how we need religion to save us, I'm all for it. Even talk about how liberals are fucking retarded with guns and how the right has it 100% correct. I don't mind that.

I do mind though when a "discussion" is simply someone promoting racism and intolerance as a political viewpoint.

As for the other stuff, idk, you kinda went on a rant, but it's not like I 100% disagree with you.

Oh right, as for the filthy Europeans or whatever, I know Americans are far more touchy about free speech.

It is very sad to see so many underestimate the power of truth that they would feel the need to shelter, not only themselves, but other people as well from ignorance and delusion
Well that's what's happening, because people are accepting blatant lies as truth and truth as opinion whenever it doesn't fit into their ideology. It's a dangerous thing we're seeing happen around the country.

"hate speech" is very needed in today's society.
Not really. Whites shouldn't be going around saying blacks and jews are the devil and need to be taken care of. Promoting a race above another and advocating for bigotry isn't a very good thing to do.

Allowing a white nationalist to speak about how whites are the superior race and that we should kick immigrants out is not a productive "two way" street at all though. People shouldn't NEED to hear that kind of message because nothing productive comes out of it. It's fascism.
Delete your account.
Hate speech should not be tolerated. It's toxic. Anyone who thinks free speech = say whatever you want without punishment, is stupid. There are limits. And that's just talking with the government. People don't have to put up with it even more so.
Either this is bait disguised as ignorance, or you're too stupid to understand the consequences and implications of what you're advocating. I'm not sure which of these I find more likely.

Do I need to explain to you what's wrong with what you're saying?
You act like this isn't already a thing in other nations. You can't wave a nazi flag or do the salute freely in Germany without a fine. I'm not saying jail people who do it, but just saying "free speech means everything should be free" is naive as hell. It's exactly what helped give rise to right wing fascism.

Can we just ban this shit? Posting links to articles and nothing else? Add your own comment to the story or fuck off. It's getting ridiculous.
did you get blue balled or something what the heck

Idk it just sucks to see the only semi serious board I frequest degrade to this shit.
Is this not serious though? Trump did say this so I assume it sort of fits into serious. Unless I'm missing something here. You mean to say it doesn't fit onto serious because he doesn't add his comment to a story that will easily provide a discussion?

Quote
South Dakota Republicans on Thursday repealed a historic anti-corruption law approved by voters in a statewide referendum on Election Day.

The measure, which passed with more than 51% backing in November, would have created an independent ethics commission, limited lobbyist gifts to lawmakers, banned officials from joining lobbying firms for two years after leaving office and created so-called "Democracy vouchers" for registered voters to steer toward their preferred candidates.
But state GOP lawmakers said they didn't think voters knew what they were doing.

Gov. Dennis Daugaard, a Republican, signed the repeal bill on Thursday night. In a budget address delivered after the November referendum, he claimed the public had been "hoodwinked by scam artists who grossly misrepresented these proposed measures."
So this can/will be struck down in the courts, right? Going directly against the first 3 words of the constitution seems kinda bad.

The difference between his quote and what's going on today though is that there is a huge vocal resistance to the beliefs of the Alt-Right. Allowing Milo to speak isn't humbling accepting his beliefs and offering no resistance. Especially since he would be in a location full of people who are more than willing to verbally attack him and his beliefs (and from the looks of it, do more than just verbal-attacks). Free Speech is a two way street and Milo doesn't have a shield from comments against him.

The point of this btw is that there were many apologists in Germany at the time going "oh free speech isn't bad", and many didn't take what he said seriously.

The moral of the story is that free speech should not = 100% unadulterated content, because a lot of the stuff you say, MUCH of which is fascism these days, is horrible and toxic, and a lot of people start believing and following this stuff.
Allowing a white nationalist to speak about how whites are the superior race and that we should kick immigrants out is not a productive "two way" street at all though. People shouldn't NEED to hear that kind of message because nothing productive comes out of it. It's fascism.

Jeb will never win a Presidential election solely due to the fact he's related to Dubya. There's also the fact that Trump has humiliated Jeb to the point that everyone snickers whenever his name gets mentioned. His political career is pretty much done. I doubt that Rubio could win either due to the fact that Trump Republicans generally hate establishment Neocons just as much as they hate Democrats. I think that if we get another Republican president, it will either be another Nationalist Trump Republican, or a Libertarian Paul Republican. Neocons are on their way out.
Well he's 63. He's had a good long run in public office. No harm in stopping now.

I genuinely liked FO4, I guess I'm the minority
I liked it too

Same.

Doesn't mean I have to be blind to the issues it has, however.
Yeah I enjoy it

but when I sit down and reflect on it, I don't think of it as fondly as I do with 3 and Vegas.

And that's not nostalgia talking either. I can legit sit down and enjoy them now (modded of course) more than I can Fallout 4 a lot of times. With 3 because of the location in general, and NV obviously for everything outside of combat.

plus, saying the rioters won is way wrong. now you have a nation who never heard of milo looking him up on the internet because of the news, then his book coming out in a few months went up in sales by i think a couple thousand percent, then you got shit like cnn and huffpost lying about how hes a white supremacist or nazi. this gave him more publicity and power which is what he wants and can spread to future talk shows.
I was never for protests turning into riots (violence, vandalizing, etc) because I feel it completely invalidates the moral message to the masses who look on. Even if your cause is good, resorting to things like that will make the majority of people shy away from it, and for obvious reasons.

As for him, the best thing to do is honestly just not give him attention, but we all know what the media loves doing to unpopular figures. It's why we remember the face and names of the people who shoot up schools.

Going around promoting one race while putting down another shouldn't be something allowed. Hate speech is bad, yo.
then dont listen to them. easy
It's not what they say that really worries me. It's the people who are easily led by people like this who buy into their actual beleifs and then go around spreading the same thing. It's like a cancer, it basically spreads from person to person until you have this crazy fascist ideology which is in no means productive to anything.

Promoting any kind of racial supremacy in places of academia or public spheres shouldn't be allowed, but the proponents should be, at the very least, not subject to criminalisation or violence.
Oh I definitely agree with this to an extent.
