Why am I not surprised at the amount of ignorance of these people?
He claims he didn't know about the group's racial ideas and the writer of this piece didn't even mention the details of his speech at the convention
I don't know if that's better or worse.

I hate cheese.
I hate beans.
I hate peppers.
I hate spicy stuff.
It's like someone specifically designed an entire cuisine around all my most hated foods.
I love spicy food, Madras curry is heaven (or hell considering how hot it is) But mexican food isn't the right kind of spicy, it's just....ewww!

Nope, the thread is a colossal mess, and since we have Plug.DJ we kinda don't need it.
It would be nice to have an onsite music and video library but hey, one step at a time.

You've never Been to the region and you've not seen it with your own eyes.
I hate to be that guy, but have you?
I wouldn't have used that statement if I hadn't.
You do realise pretty much all warzones are horrible, right? That doesn't give you any sort of knowledge which I don't possess, besides local geography. You may feel emotionally closer to the human suffering in the region, but that doesn't give you the right to just assume that Israeli is wholly--or even mainly--responsible for the suffering, and judging by the fact that you went on an aid mission to Gaza it doesn't seem all that unreasonable to think you had some pre-conceived anti-Israeli sentiments prior to the trip in the first place.
I'm assuming you opposed the 2003 war in Iraq and the War in Afghanistan. Now, if I had been to Iraqi Kurdistan under Hussein and seen the misery and bloodshed, would that give me any more epistemic authority than you? Of course not. If I had been to Kabul under the Taliban, would it give me some sort of authority over your opposition to the War?
No, of course not. What matters are the facts, not what biases you feel were confirmed while over in the region.
1) All warzones are terrible, that goes without saying. 2) Actually before then I wasn't too concerned with Palestine/Israel, I was offered the chance to get outside of Europe and I took it. 3) Israel bares most of the blame for the death and suffering in the area 4) Yeah I opposed the invasion of Iraq, but the invasion wasn't about "saving the kurds", it was about "the WMDs". 5) The facts are more supportive of the Palestinians if you look at un-biased sources and history. As for the subject of the thread, Israel is morally worse than Hamas. They have committed far more and far worse crimes than Hamas. If it wasn't for Israels actions Hamas would never have existed.

May I ask where? Genuinely curious, my Dad was in Israel in the 80's (whenever the SA apartheid was around).
09, part of a cross community group that volunteered bringing aid to Gaza. We spent time there then headed to Jerusalem and then the West Bank. An enlightening experience and one that I wont forget.

So all the reports of Israelis indiscriminately shooting children is what? BS?
No, I didn't even remotely imply that.
It's just like My Lai--sometimes soldiers get overheated in war and just lose it. Except I've never heard of anything as bad as My Lai come out of Gaza.
The point is that Palestinian fighters actively encourage this behaviour by getting the Israeli's to retaliate and cause damage to urbanised areas and by using their own people as human shields. They want indiscriminate murder because it advances their ideology and their goals.
It's a tragedy that it ever happens, of course, but it doesn't change the fact that Hamas implicitly encourages this by their behaviour. Fuck, can you imagine how much indiscriminate murder there would be of Israelis (maybe even Arab Israelis, too) if Hamas and their broad Palestinian support base were allowed to do whatever they want to them. That's pretty much the position Israel is in, now, and to deny that they're showing incredible restraint under intense international scrutiny is just to misunderstand the whole situation.
I think you're the one who gravely misunderstands the situation. There's no debating with you. You've never Been to the region and you've not seen it with your own eyes.

If that's the case then why doesn't Israel send in elite teams to neutralist the rockets?
We aren't talking about SAM sites, here, replying to artillery with artillery is the quickest and most efficient way of removing these weapons; otherwise they'd just fire and move and none of Hamas's ordinance would actually be dealt with. Also, "elite teams" couldn't stealthily move through the highly urbanised Strip without I) alerting the enemy to their presence or II) being attacked by random Palestinians.
I mean, these are the people who--upon receiving warning from Israel regarding impending artillery--climb onto their roofs voluntarily.
Bombarding Gaza with rockets only makes them the greater of the two evils. And considering how they don't care about Palestinian civilian casualties (given how their soldiers love to shoot children and all) Well that's not surprising seeing how Palestinian fighters use their women and children as human shields, so I'd expect some casualties of that description. Now the fighters who do this know one of two things: first, that this will deter the Israeli soldiers (can you imagine how morbid and comical it would be for an Israeli to think holding up an Israeli woman or child would deter a Hamas fighter), or that they will be able to claim the Israeli's are indiscriminately murdering women and children CQC-style.
So all the reports of Israelis indiscriminately shooting children is what? BS?

not Israels "minimum" which seems to break 1000 every conflict
I'll refer you to the points before about how Hamas fires rockets from residential areas and from besides schools and hospitals. Hamas wants high casualties so they can point to Israel and shout oppression.
If that's the case then why doesn't Israel send in elite teams to neutralist the rockets? Bombarding Gaza with rockets only makes them the greater of the two evils. And considering how they don't care about Palestinian civilian casualties (given how their soldiers love to shoot children and all)

Yeah it really makes you wonder what Achronos and the web team were doing....
Probably stroking Activision off.
I thought Deej and Jason Jones were busy doing that? Then again Activision has big balls with an even bigger asshole so maybe it did take the entirety of the staff to pleasure it.

you guys realize she's fucking with you right
man there are some things you just don't joke about
bad site updates are one of those things
It's gonna be a good update, trust me sub-threads are the way to go.

Man it better not be drastically different. Or if it is I hope it's because it runs much better.
I'm traumatized from b.next.
Well the sub-threads are back.
fucking why
It's easier to keep track of convos instead of searching through pages of bullshit. Thank Meta for wanting the system standardised.

High Rock and Hammerfell. No reason we cant have 2 countries on current gen.
I'd prefer one country with more detail really. Only two I'd double up is Valenwood and Summerset due to size.
Skyrim lacked a lot of depth.
What I hated about Oblivion and Skyrim was that there wasn't enough variety in locations, Skyrim was literally just snow, mountains and forests.
nigga what?
Skyrim had plenty of variety. Every hold had a unique environment.
Whiterun- Open plains with giants and mammoths
Falkreath- Dense, green, spooky forest with tall trees, with tall, cold mountains along the southern edge
The Rift- Beautiful fall forest along a river
Hjallmarch- Spooky swamps
Haafingar- Traditional arthurian tall fantasy forest in a hilly region
Eastmarch- Vast open stretches of hot springs, merges into the Pale in the northwest and Winterhold to the northeast
The Pale- Snowy forest, with open coast to the north
Winterhold- Cold, snowy mountains
The Reach- Tall, rocky mountain terrain with massive ruins all around, both Dwemer and Nordic
Yeah forest > mountains > snow
Okay so what other options do we have here then?
Sand.
What does sand do?
Make sand dunes.
Spoiler Another word for mountains.
Uh, let's see. We've got volcanoes.
Spoiler More fucking mountains.
Oh! I know! There's the place with migratory trees.
Generally wherever you go in elder scrolls you're just going to have a variation of
A)Mountains
B)Forests
C)Fields
Putting sand overtop of everything would be a placeholder for snow and before you know it people would bitch about "sand in muh eyes."
Unless of course Bethesda just said fuck you to the lore and started doing upside down mountains and shit. Or maybe twirly rock things with forests growing along the side of them.
From what I remember High Rock is rich in magic, so floating rocks and cities with a purple sky would be refreshing (on top of the mountains and forests). Then add Hammerfell, Sand dunes, rocky areas, jungles and more interesting cities, huge golden palaces etc.
