This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Dsivis...

If you honestly feel guilty over the actions of your many many many great times grandpapi's, you have a serious issue.  

Hell, I don't even feel guilty over what the previous generation did. I didn't fucking do it, and if it's really bad, the most I"m likely to feel is general annoyance that I have to deal with the fallout. Not guilt.

Just sayin'...
For you the day you found a minor error in a Post by Spike and forced him to admit it, it was the greatest day of your internet life.  For me it was... Tuesday.

For the curious: Apparently, in person, I sound exactly like the Youtube Character The Nostalgia Critic.   I have no words.

Well, Spike and James, it's not like it keeps me up at night or anything like that, but I don't like it when people glorify the memory of ANY genocide commited, no matter how long ago. Fact is, the Israelites got the Holy Land same way pretty much everyone else has - by bumping off the previous inhabitants. And some Jews today honestly believe that the conflict today would end if we weren't so "nice" to the Palestinians.

I'm a Zionist, make no mistake about that. Jews should have a state to act as a place to go should other places get ugly for them, but they could have tried a LITTLE harder to prevent the Arab countries from screwing over Palestinians and providing them with "development $$$" (by which I mean armaments and "martyr rewards".)

Dsivis:

I'm not even Jewish (I'm a Pika, I don't think we're allowed... I'll have to check the guild charter again...) and I think the Israeli's, if they were serious, should have been a lot harder.  Nothing good comes from a 'seperate peace', only 400+ years of misery and pain because people like you (notionally... relax, not sniping you... relax, deep breath....) can't let go of what happened to them 3000 years ago, much less two or three generations ago.  Bosnia didn't happen overnight, and only brutally enforced peace kept things quiet there for the fourty or so years prior to their big explosive 'genocidal war' that NO ONE came out looking like victims in.  People are assholes.  Get in touch with your inner asshole and all will be well...;)

You mean the Palestinians they forced out in 1948?

Wow, something I can agree with, and no foul language to ruin it.

If you get the time you should read "The eternity artifact", which has at least two theocratic governments in it, and both are portrayed as bad. The author may have agreed with us that there is no good theocracy.
RPGPundit is a fucking fascist asshole and a hypocritial megadouche.

Quote from: Dominus Nox
.

"Basically, muslims want a world where they, and they alone, have power. This is because under islamic law, muslim males are the highest form of life on earth and divinely ordained to be masters of the world. This is what islam teaches. Under sharia, which is muslim religious law, a muslim man is the highest form of life. A muslim woman's life is worth HALF of a muslim male's life. The lives of jews, christians and other infidels are worth less than that of a muslim."




Dominus Nox, if you knew anything but the few prejudices that you absorbed from your Doofusville hick town, then you'd know that sharia is interpreted differently in different Islamic nations. Not all of them see the west as blasphemous infidels. Why not stop watching all those macho arab bashing films and check out some reality for a change? Get your redneck arse to Egypt and see how a Muslim country can be an ally to western countries.:p

So atheists have been abused, treated badly by clergy or they're stupid.They're just being trendy because they can't understand The God Delusion because they don't have the education, plus they're just pretending to be atheists anyway. Pundit you're the one with a problem, terminal stupidity.
