Can we just point out the elephant in the room and note that if we offered to give each of these groups one of the Dakotas if they would call it off, neither would take us up on it? This whole thing is over who gets to have pissing rights to Jerusale... [Read More]

Yeah, if Hamas would stop going for their stated goal of driving the jews into the ocean, then maybe we could actually hate the Isrealis properly. Don't get me wrong, I hate what the Israelis have done to the Palestinians. They always answer death wi... [Read More]

The problem is that even when we do something right, we don't get the credit for it. Instead people just go "Yeah, well what about X" and don't even give acknowledgement to the good. Lets face it, people will hate us regardless. Maybe thing... [Read More]

I see meaningless wordplay and bull**** excuses. Nothing more. As to your last point, I'm guessing it has something to do with much of U.S. foreign policy being an impedance to humanitarian efforts. Most law is just wordplay. If we're going to be h... [Read More]

It would work if some companions left at the end of the game, because your ideology doesn't stroke with theirs (cf. NWN2). But... since this is an MMO, it has no end, so I guess that's out of the question. Actually this is something they have said w... [Read More]

I liken free will and God's omniscience to this: Perhaps in allowing one evil you stop a greater evil. Perhaps even in that evil something beneficial comes. An example of that could be Hitler. Very few people would say that he was good(a very small g... [Read More]
