itchy01ca01: Oh, do not get me wrong, Democrats/republicans liberals/conservatives are NOT the people I want leading my country. These two party structures make a mockery of actual democracy and just create a power base that corporations can easily co-opt.

homaretz: It's not about censorship or suppression of artistic choices and creative freedom in videogames (the reason why I follow this thread), but it's kinda smell like consumer-blaming ala the various gaming articles blaming gamers for something.

If you prefer an on-topic discussion that don't spill to other topics, a thread I posted:

"You did not buy our game fuck you"

almost as good as "9$ is a steal I should be charging you 90$ for my masterpiece ungrateful bastards" -P.Fish (Fez)

I have no idea why Edmund mentioned this thread's topic, but the whole article is interesting.

Donald Trump! Such a great man. He exemplifies what it means to be a man. He would get rid of all those free loaders, and ensure a winning war with Iran, with very few casualties. He would also bring big business back to America. TRUMP4LIFE!

I don't really see a problem with mass social pressure. Corporations do it. Conservatives DEFINITELY DO IT. Christians were BORN to do it. Any religion for that matter does this. Even this forum is a "mass social pressure" if you get right down to it. So what they're saying is that you're allowed to use mass social pressure, if you agree with the message. Nice try though.

You should vote for him. A fake ID shouldn't be too hard to find.

Sorry but not an American citizen. You're right though, not hard for a Canadian with a job to get american citizenship. Also, relatives help.

You know, Trump and Clinton are not the only cnadidates. Fiorina and Carson are rather trust worthy ones. In particular Carson, he is a brain surgeon, and he was not part of the people that ruined my country as Clinton was.

Clinton was part of the group that created the Energy reform applied by Enrique Peña Nieto in my country, she basically took part in one of the worst things that happened to my country in decades. At least Trump's foreign policy will only harm the illegal immigrants and not the people staying in Mexico or entering the US by legal means. And no, I am not saying he is a good candidate, he is not intelligent and he could put the US in a big debt just as he did to himself. But I understand his views on illegal Mexican immigrants because in Mexico we deal with Center and South American illegal immigrants and they are kind of an issue.

Also, did you even get the core message of the video? These people are bullies, and they are dishonest and prone to corruption.

People still talk about GamerGate? I thought this movement died down a few months ago.

Just my two cents, but I honestly just wish everyone would forget about this whole business. I liked it when we didn't have every game getting classified as a 'GG' or 'anti-GG' game and we didn't base entire game reviews on whether or not the devs align with the views of the author of the article. I also liked it when 'gamers' wasn't some kind of negative term and associated with either psycho cyberbullies or corrupt money-hungry journalists.

I wish I could've ignored it, but it's hard when every single article on every single gaming site mentioned GamerGate and how they were either the great saviors of video games or the evil psycho killers in their parent's basements. Really, the only thing GG managed to do was victimize a bunch of shoddy journalists so they could make big money off their sob stories and make sure our medium is once again a joke in the eyes of the public. I'm not trying to defend either side here really, both of them think they're in the right, but one is corrupt and the other has lost sight of it's goals in favor of fruitless insults that only serve to further the other's platform.

In short, this whole thing is stupid, started over childish insults and continued with childish insults, and I wish video games could be about video games again and not bullshit politics. /rant.

Isn't Carly's main qualification taking HP and flushing it down the toilet? And Carson's main qualification is being the least crazed black man they could find that's still willing to run on the GOP ticket.

Not exactly, I am not saying they are the best persons ever, but they are the best candidates. Sanders is too much of a pushover, Clinton is a horrible monster wearing the skin of a human, Trump is pretty much fucked up, and well, the other candidates have no real push. At least Carson says US law should never bend to Sharia law, and Fiorina stated her gender should not be a determining factor in her support.

But hey, I am only seeing it from an outside perspective and opposing Clinton because as I mentioned before she took part in the creation of something that harmed my country.
Well, that scratches Carson off my list. Because any presidential candidate that seriously mentions Sharia Law and implying it could have any effect on U.S. law is just fear mongering. I don't need candidates who make up boogeymen to scare the general public into submission...

When a candidate does this in the campaign, can you really trust anything else they ever say again?
